The More You Know

Every Day Is A Good Day To Protest Rush Limbaugh, Says NOW

11:00 am, April 20th | by Laura Donovan


Let’s take a trip down memory lane: Do you remember that time conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh declared Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke a “slut” and a “prostitute” for lobbying for more affordable contraception? You know, before that whole Hilary Rosen/Ann Romney thing exploded all over our laptop screens and television sets? It’s rather hard to keep track of all the media fights these days, but I’ll remind you that the Fluke/Limbaugh debacle seemed to last for weeks, but now that it’s more of a “haha, remember that?” past time than an up-to-the-minute scandal, the National Organization for Women (NOW) has decided to reignite the fire on Limbaugh and protest him some more.

The women’s rights group told The Daily Caller that they’re setting out to bring Limbaugh down again with their “Enough Rush” movement, adding that they’re gathering chapters to rally against the right-leaning public figure on May 18.

“He is going to be whining and calling us out about his First Amendment rights,” NOW president Terry O’Neill told the online publication about how she thinks Limbaugh will respond to their campaign. “There is nothing in the Constitution that says Rush Limbaugh gets $38 million a year for being on a radio show.”

Limbaugh, who refers to the group as the National Association of Gals (NAG), may very well shed light on their efforts during one of his upcoming broadcasts, but this seems like a calculated attempted to rehash old news and anti-Limbaugh rhetoric. The Stop Rush campaign certainly didn’t stop him from continuing to hit airwaves, and we’re all pretty aware that he has been spewing hateful comments about females for decades. NOW may be trying to egg him on, but they’re not going to get anywhere by coasting off his Fluke remarks, for which he apologized last month.

    This will be an epic failure like every other attempt by liberals to stifle free speech.  Rush isn’t going anywhere femi nazi’s.

    Ps, it’s hard to take NOW seriously when they condoned the attack on Ann Romney and didn’t mind that Maher is one of Obama’s biggest supporters.  They are in business to protect LIBERAL woman and if you don’t happen to tow that liberal line, you’re on your own.

    “Tow that liberal line”?  The preferred phrase is “TOE the line”, although the use of “tow” is considered minimally acceptable because the ignorant and uneducated use it so often…exactly the cohort of the far-right.  In  the USA, it might mean setting one’s toes at the starting point of a footrace;  in England it has something to do with the protocols of Parliament.  This is a similar error to “chomping at the bit”;  the preferred phraseology is “champing at the bit”.

    Uh, she was a 30 something “student” — that is, a grown woman who should actually have a job by now — lobbying for other people to forcibly PAY for other people’s contraception, via their extorted, hard earned tax dollars.  Rush’s joke was: if she wants us to give her money, she should at least give us something in return; maybe she can set up a webcam in her bedroom… If Louis CK said it, you’d think it was genius. I see NOW is mostly upset that Rush is a successful man, who, according to their standards, makes too much money. I could just as easily snark that there is nothing in the Constitution that says  there needs to be something called NOW.

    It sounds like NOW’s fundraising efforts may not be doing too well, so maybe some Rush-bashing will bring in a few millions from brain-dead lefties.
