Outrage" Over Limbaugh - What About Left-Wing Misogyny?

[winfrid12]

"A firestorm of outrage from women after a crude tirade from Rush Limbaugh," said NBC anchor Brian Williams. This was followed by a reporter who said: "In 2012, the personal is political. What began as a debate over religious freedom has devolved into what some call a 'war on women.'"

The "outrage" over Rush Limbaugh's "misogyny" provides the latest examples of the liberal vs. conservative double standard and the selective indignation of the left. Limbaugh criticized the congressional appearance of Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown law student who supported requiring even religiously affiliated institutions to provide "free" contraceptives.

"So, Ms. Fluke, and the rest of you femi-Nazis," Limbaugh said, "here's the deal: If we are going to pay for your contraceptives and, thus, pay for you to have sex, we want something for it. And I'll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch." Limbaugh also called her a woman who admits she gets "paid" for sex -- something that, according to Limbaugh, makes her a "slut" and a "prostitute."

He apologized, but reportedly has lost sponsors. Fluke refused to accept his apology. "I don't think that a statement like this issued, saying that his choice of words was not the best, changes anything," Fluke said. "And especially when that statement is issued when he's under significant pressure from his sponsors who have begun to pull their support."

The "firestorm" over Limbaugh's "sexism" would be convincing -- were it not for its selective nature. Where's the outrage when the misogyny comes from the left?

Ed Schultz, for example, the blowtorch left-wing MSNBC host, called conservative radio show host Laura Ingraham a "right-wing slut" and a "talk slut." Isn't the "s" word -- aside from the "c" word -- the worst anti-woman slur a man can make? But if Schultz suffered a loss of advertisers, we never heard about it. No activists pumped out press releases arguing that a man who calls a woman a "slut" because of her political conservatism maligns all conservative woman. His punishment? One week's suspension without pay.

The sexism police long ago exempted Bill Clinton from any conversation about ill-treatment of women. Some of the same people who condemn Limbaugh for his treatment of Fluke go deaf, dumb and blind over Clinton's treatment of and statements about the women who dared confront him

Anyone who attacks Maher and defends Limbaugh is a hypocrite.

Some people on the right are actually saying it's ok to call Sandra Fluke vulgar names because some on the left called Sarah Palin vulgar names.
THAT IS FRIGGIN CHILDISH!!

Ed Schultz was taken off the air and also offered an apology, which was ACTUALLY SINCERE.

Rush "apologized" after being pressured by his money.

Just because you write a short story, doesn't mean you're right.

Liberalism is for the people...not the liberals.

Notice how the liberals act like complete animals, run their mouths and commit crimes?

If a normal person aka a non-liberal acts like a liberal, they are subject to severe attack from the liberals.

Not sure what other word a person should use to describe an unwed single woman who complains about having to spend over $3000 a year on birth control! At $.75 a condom that's 4000 condoms! And that also translates into 76 a week!

Rush Limbaugh and Clearwater are going to get walloped with a defamation lawsuit, big time

you can't tell lies about people over the radio and not expect to face some consequences

Typical hypocrisy of the liberals.

Ed Shultz apologized because he was afraid fo losing his job.

Stop expecting Leftists to be human. They're mean indoctrinated anti-human scum that are going to eat the rest of us alive if we don't stop whining and fight fire with fire.

Their goal is to get Limbaugh shut down, not to end hate speech. Where's the political outrage of ABC's show Good Christian B!tches?
