GP what did you think of the media darlings Kirsten Powers referenced in the March 4 1:54 PM post? Seems that they sure beat Rush when it comes to misogynist insults, some even pretty threatening, and minors were sexually referenced. I imagine most fathers out there would want an in-depth communication if their minor daughters were referenced in a sexually insulting manner. I myself do not listen to talk radio but then it is a free market system and people who listen pay for that privilige, just like they do to listen to those misogynists referenced above. So what's that say about society? I heard Rush has been experiencing this call for boycotting for over 20 years, he just seems to get a larger audience. What happened to the audience at Air America?

Please explain why so many people listen to this creep. Are there really that many people so full of hate and so lacking in intelligence that anything this man says is worth repeating or even commenting on. He is a mean and stupid little man and the advertisers who pay for his show should be boycotted. Always, all of them.

Ken I found the below in an email from my 17 year old granddaughter this morning. It does demonstrate how some people pile on those of different ideology, and the hate of the below personalities seems so strong against women. Possibly you interpret it the same way? The below excerpts are by paid democratic operative Kirsten Powers, definitely not a conservative sympathizer, but I admire her honest article. Of course this whole incident is about government mandating against 1st Amendment rights, all the rest is political histrionics, which fade quickly: "During the 2008 election Ed Schultz said on his radio show that Sarah Palin set off a “bimbo alert.” He called Laura Ingraham a “right-wing slut.” He once even took to his blog to call yours truly a “bimbo” for the offense of quoting him accurately in a New York Post column. Keith Olbermann has said that conservative commentator S.E. Cupp should have been aborted by her parents, apparently because he finds her having opinions offensive. He called Michelle Malkin a “mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick.” He found it newsworthy to discuss Carrie Prejean’s breasts on his MSNBC show. His solution for dealing with Hillary Clinton, who he thought should drop out of the presidential race, was to find “somebody who can take her into a room and only he comes out.” Olbermann now works for über-leftist and former Democratic vice president Al Gore at Current TV. Chris Matthews’s sickening misogyny was made famous in 2008, when he obsessively tore down Hillary Clinton for standing between Barack Obama and the presidency, something that Matthews could not abide. Over the years he has referred to the former first lady, senator and presidential candidate and current secretary of state as a “she-devil,” “Nurse Ratched,” and “Madame Defarge.” Matthews has also called Clinton “witchy,” “anti-male,” and “uppity” and once claimed she won her Senate seat only because her “husband messed around.” But the grand pooh-bah of media misogyny is without a doubt Bill Maher—who also happens to be a favorite of liberals—who has given $1 million to President Obama’s super PAC. Maher has called Palin a “dumb twat” and dropped the C-word in describing the former Alaska governor. He called Palin and Congresswoman Bachmann “boobs” and “two bimbos.” He said of the former vice-presidential candidate, “She is not a mean girl. She is a crazy girl with mean ideas.” He recently made a joke about Rick Santorum’s wife using a vibrator..." http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/03/04/rush-limbaugh-s- apology-liberal-men-need-to-follow-suit.html

Ken the below event was organized and planned by N.O.W. and Planned Parenthood. I can only wonder if it was a response to those who advocated the gang rape of Governor Palin and the many sexually insulting remarks of her minor children? Those remarks were carried on the public airways, by the way. From the NATION publication, just last fall(2011): "Talk the Talk, Walk the SlutWalk" "Now comes SlutWalk, taking the world by storm, with boisterous demonstrations of young women protesting sexual violence and the way victims are blamed for it...these grassroots protests, featuring thousands of women dressed in everything from lingerie to sweatpants, have been held in more than seventy-six cities in Canada, the United States, Europe and beyond..." http://www.thenation.com/article/161728/talk-talk-walk-slutwalk // There exists a free market out there to counter people like Rush, or those who are his opposites. Maybe the left could start a major national radio show to counter Rush, let the public decide by their $ who they prefer? They have not tried that yet have they?

Limbaugh should help the "Women for Obama" campaign initiative. Remember, Obama won 56 percent of the women's votes in the last election.
