    I didn't say it wasn't mean. Lots of things are mean, but that doesn't make them true. The point I am, ineffectively, trying to make is that Rush flat out lied to his listeners and yet they are more concerned with yelling "But Maher did it too!!!!". That makes no sense to me.

    I've been on birth control for 20 years, various forms, and yes, I know what they cost.

    Why is the condom/foam thing irrelevant? I was showing you that you were incorrect in your assessment of what Limbaugh said. She didn't mention it specifically nor did she mention any method of BC specifically.

    All of America, particularly the women are following along. I expect even the sad HBO will kick Billy to the curb.

    Insults during a debate demonstrats a failure of ideas and violation of TOS! GONG - GONG - GONG!

    Louis Ck got bounced out of the Radio and TV Gig. In part thanks to Greta for calling a boycott.

    That's why he has to be propped up by HBO late at night. When the losers watch tv.

    That makes no sense to you? So Maher (a lib) has insulted women on his show countless times, calling them names like c*nt & bimbo. No a peep from the media, silence, and it continued. Limbaugh (a con) called a woman a sl*t, and the media went completely wild with it, front page news, libs went nuts with it, etc. And you see no hypocrisy with that?

    Well, you're missing the point ... you see, Maher has the (stand-up comedy) routine down so well ... he has everyone rolling on the floor ... this is because he has *character* ... and he has comedy down to it's very Etymology ...

    Comedy

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedic


    Stand-up comedy

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-up_comedy



    Rush is a right-wing (conservative) Talk-Radio Host

    Because todays right-wing radio is almost all right-wing hate-radio and a relatively new form of entertainment, it's not so readlily easy to identify it with any particular *performing-arts* concept since it goes beyond what should be Black comedy ~ defined by dark humor that makes light of so called dark or evil elements in human nature ... and is never done in front of an audience .... like Maher and others always are ...

    Rushbo actually is probably the Godfather of Right-Wing Hate-Radio ... he started-out in my hometown of Sacramneto, Calif. back in the 70's and he was so decrepit, vile and evil ... he was literally run-out of town ... and by conservatives ...

    ... simply because he put all their lives in jeopardy ...

    :roll: Of course it is when reliable reports tell us that a month's contraception can be had at Walgreens, Walmart, Target, etc. for $9.00 per month! That's considerably less than 1K per year, if you were uncertain.
    This is the fact that utterly undermines the lies and partisan agenda of Fluke and earns her the title of propaganda whore.

    Did you see that I said that Limbaugh went too far in making his points? It's hard to tell. But, undoubtedly, Limbaugh's points (minus the divisive rhetoric) were all right on. No wonder the left wants to make this all about Limbaugh's words when his message was such a winning one (as polls prove).

    News flash : Rush Limbaugh isn't a news show. He's a radio talk show host.

    You fail again.

    You people are the ones with your asses bent in a pretzel.

    It is completely irrelevant. She was specifically talking about prescription contraceptives. No insurance plans (that I know of at least) include condoms or foams in their plans. And they certainly wouldn't do any good against ovarian cysts.

    Exactly. It is the epitomy of intellectual bankruptcy to attempt to claim that because of what one does for a living, one is granted special privileges wrt free speech.

    Completely insane drivel, and the earmark of a person who has already lost the argument.

    The prescription for that medication still has to come from somewhere. You cannot just walk into a Walgreens and get birth control.


    No, they weren't. They were completely inaccurate. Not only did he demonstrate that he had no knowledge of how birth control works, he implied that she wanted other people to pay for it, which is not true.

    No but the Condoms are better for STDs and Aids then The Pill. Ovarian cysts are few and far between.

    What? I never said Limbaugh hosted a news show!! And he is most definitely not himself a news show, as you claimed(that was a very astute observation, pointing out that Rush Limbaugh was not himself a news show). Limbaugh is a fat, ignorant, racist, sexist, drug-addict pig of a man, clearly not a news show!!

    Only Mahr syncophants go to Mahr shows. Hardly a place to get criticism. You fail and so does Mahr.

    Don't threaten people here. You will get what you have coming.

    Bull(*)(*)(*)(*). You compared him to meet the press. Don't think you can duck that reference.

    You stoop lower than he ever did.

    Joke ... watch any Maher clip ... throngs of people are in a constant state of Laughter ....

    Nobody laughs at Fatbo & Beckerhead and evey other right-wing hate-radio host ... only their sidekicks in the studio, behind microphones and far away from people ...

    Simple concept ... grapple with it ...

    Why bother arguing this issue when you know so little of it? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/h...e-available-without-doctors-prescription.html
    This pill was released four years ago.


    That's news. Fluke was not testifying in praise of Obama's no charge contraception plan? .........too funny.
    To think you can get the government to give you something for nothing is a real sign of mental deterioration.

    Not sure about the rest of the country, but we have public health units and women can get their yearly preventative check-ups and birth control for free.

    Doesn't matter ... Maher audiences are rolling on the floor ... and can't wait for the next routine ...

    Fatbo can't even insult and demean a college coed without getting threatened in losing his syndication ...

    LOL.

    I am aware of the concept of comedy. I have watched "real time" with Bill Maher many times. I will take your word on limbaugh he is stupid to have doubled down on such a stupid statement. I could make the same point in away that would just state fact.(I don't think she is a slut) Bill Maher's show is basically a political commentary. He has a panel and discusses the issues. If he was only a comedian I could see your point. If he did not give a million to a certain political campaign it would even be a better point. For all I care Rush can be fired for incompetence. He was it was stupid. Insulting a grown woman who can sue the fool.(not smart to mess with lawyers) I doubt it though because this made her famous. Without it we would not even care who she was.
    Is far different than making fun of kids.

    No I didn't stop lying!! Either back up your lie, and quote me saying that, or retract your lie!! What I actually said was that people on meet the press cannot say the same things as comedians on cable. A statement that is pretty undeniable!! You of course change the subject, because the point of the OP was clearly indefensible!!

    Rush Limbaugh (R)--"Sandra Fluke is a Slut"

    ......is 100% wrong and he should be fired. However if it was instead.......

    Rush Limbaugh (D)--"Sandra Fluke is a Slut"

    ........then it would be completely acceptable and without controversy.
