Rush Limbaugh compared to the civility of the liberals

Rick Moran: 'Their God keeps smashing them into little grease spots'
It was indeed uncivil for Rush Limbaugh to refer to Ms. Flake as a slut. He should follow the example of liberal radio show hosts like this one whose reasoned dialogue puts conservatives to shame.

RUSH LIMBAUGH EXPLAINS WHY HE APOLOGIZED: ‘IN FIGHTING THEM I BECAME LIKE THEM’

(Video) FLUKE SNUBS RUSH APOLOGY: 'READ MEDIA MATTERS   "I feel this issue is distracting us from the real issues.  The left has been able to spin religious freedom into birth control and somehow women's health.  Taking a pill that manipulates women's hormones is somehow healthy?  It is easy to get sucked in to this fringe issue.  Remember when George Stephanopoulos first injected this issue into the debate?  Remember how ridiculous he sounded?  Now, here we are taking the bait.  We are "battling" a very devious democrat machine.  People like this need to be ingnored and this story needs to go away."   From the comments to this article.

Alexa Shrugged:  Call Them Out By Name: Sandra Fluke, David Gregory and David Friend  "This is war.  I am going to defend Limbaugh from the radical Leftists who want to take him off the air.  And I am going to call out our opponents by name.  
"....Before they made the decision to pull their ads, Friend said that "the outcry over Limbaugh is the worst we’ve ever seen."  Well, Dittoheads, let's make the outcry over them dropping Limbaugh the worst they've ever seen!  Here is Carbonite's contact page, and be sure to Tweet them and Facebook them!"  (Some emphasis added)


 David Limbaugh:  Rush: At the Tip of Liberty's Spear   "What is a much bigger story is that the left's primary interest here is not in protecting Fluke -- in my humble opinion. Liberals are attempting to exploit this as another opportunity to destroy Rush through a calculated, organized Saul Alinsky-type community organizing campaign to pressure and intimidate his advertisers into discontinuing their sponsorship of his show.
"I am watching them operate on Twitter and other social networks, and their viciousness is palpable. They didn't want Rush's apology, which they absolutely refuse to accept. They want his scalp. And they've wanted his scalp for years because he is the most effective and influential spokesman for the conservative cause."

NRO: In Defense of Rush  "To Georgetown University’s president who found time in his busy schedule to publicly attack Rush.... how about acting like the leader of a Catholic university and telling the young woman that her public whining was an embarrassment to the university she claims to represent?"

Bozell Letter to CNN's Piers Morgan: Coverage of Limbaugh Apology Is a Double Standard   "And it’s not just CNN. Limbaugh has been singled out and condemned across the national media – ABC, CBS, NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, NPR, PBS, Associated Press, The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and USA Today. How many of these outlets have condemned Bill Maher with equal vigor for his attacks on Palin? How many of these outlets condemned him at all? Ed Schultz called Laura Ingraham a “slut” on his radio show. MSNBC suspended him for a week, but none of Schultz’s advertisers dropped his show under media pressure. There was no pressure. Some of the same sponsors now pulling out of Rush’s show still support Schultz."

It’s just too bad Rush Limbaugh isn’t a member of the Democrat-media complex.  "This whole Sandra Fluke incident never would have seen the light of day.
"Here’s a video that shows just a few of the horrible misogynist attacks by left-wing heroes on conservative women… Women who did nothing to deserve the attacks other than to profess their conservatism and love for America."  Listen for the word "slut". We make no effort to censor the speech of these liberals because we want you to fully appreciate their vitriol and to know how they regard 50% of America's people. 

Sandra Bernhard: Bristol Palin is such a hooker "I watched Bristol Palin on Good Morning America, and I have to question what is it about this harmless young person that has these rabidly and insanely liberal women be so vile? "

Sleep well, Israel; Obama has your back

 Algemeiner: On Iran and Obama, How Bibi will Decide – Exclusive Interview with Eyal Gabbai, Part 1
"Up until six months ago, Eyal Gabbai was the Director-General of Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu’s office. Working with the Prime Minister for up to 18 hours a day, he was a key member of Netanyahu’s inner circle."
Excerpts of the interview follow:

DE:  Do you think it’s possible that the Israelis will try something with Iran, and the Americans will actually try and prevent it once it’s actually happening?

EG: I don’t think so.

DE: They’ll just state their position until Israel acts, and then when it acts they will be supportive?

EG: I think they’ll urge Israel not to act, because they think it’s too early, and they’ll actually even, not threaten Israel, but certainly make it clear that there will be a price to pay if Israel doesn’t coordinate.

DE:  They want to know about it?

EG: Not just know; they want to be able to veto it.

But at the end of the day Netanyahu cannot let Obama veto the attack on Iran, and if the attack will take place – as always, the question will be the outcome.  Assuming that Israel was able to destroy everything forever, then I think we’ll get a lot of support from the United States.

DE:  Public support from Obama or just behind the scenes?

EG: No, both public and political figures and probably the President himself. On the other hand, if it will be a failure…..

G. Murphy Donovan:  Barack Obama has never been to Israel   "American policy is, at once, a flawed assumption and a cultural insult. Granting Muslim stability a higher priority than Israeli survival is the assumption; and elevating Muslim culture to parity with Jews or Christians is the insult.  Moral equivalence is the problem, not the solution to epidemic political cowardice in the non-Muslim world. Israel has no good reasons, by virtue of history or evidence, to accept any American assurances, especially from an Obama administration."

The irony of Purim today:  God used Queen Esther to save the Jews from massacre by the now-Iranians.  "Purim is celebrated on the 14th day of Adar, which is usually in March. The 13th of Adar is the day that Haman chose for the extermination of the Jews, and the day that the Jews battled their enemies for their lives. On the day afterwards, the 14th, they celebrated their survival. In cities that were walled in the time of Joshua, Purim is celebrated on the 15th of the month, because the book of Esther says that in Shushan (a walled city), deliverance from the massacre was not complete until the next day. The 15th is referred to as Shushan Purim."

Breitbart's vetting of Obama begins

Big Government : THE VETTING, PART I: BARACK'S LOVE SONG TO ALINSKY
"Prior to his passing, Andrew Breitbart said that the mission of the Breitbart empire was to exemplify the free and fearless press that our Constitution protects--but which, increasingly, the mainstream media denies us."

"Andrew did not want to re-litigate the 2008 election. Nor did he want to let Republicans off the hook. Instead, he wanted to show that the media had failed in its most basic duty: to uncover the truth, and hold those in power accountable, regardless of party.
"From today through Election Day, November 6, 2012, we will vet this president--and his rivals.
"We begin with a column Andrew wrote last week in preparation for today’s Big relaunch--a story that should swing the first hammer against the glass wall the mainstream media has built around Barack Obama."

"Writing in the Chicago Reader, [Michael] Miner described the poster:"

...."And down at the very bottom, crawling across the poster in small print, it mentions the panel discussions that will follow the Sunday performances. The panelists are that era's usual "progressive" suspects: Leon Despres, Monsignor Jack Egan, Studs Terkel . . .And state senator Barack Obama.

"The reason that Obama's Alinskyite past, and his many appearances in political photography and video from the 1990s, are conspicuously missing from the national dialogue is that State Senator Barack Obama's reinvention as a reasonable and moderate Democratic politician could not withstand scrutiny of his political life. 
"Because the mainstream media did not explore his roots, the American public remains largely ignorant of the degree to which Obama’s work with ACORN and his love of Alinsky were symbolic of his true political will.
"If any of the candidates can resist the media, and parlay Newt’s strategy into a nomination, we’ll have the choice between an imperfect but well-known Republican and the real “Baraka” Obama, not the manufactured one the media prefers."

Obama, Iran and Israel

Premiering Today: 'Daylight: The story of Obama and Israel'   "At the same time, the Emergency Committee for Israel has released "Daylight: The story of Obama and Israel," a documentary on the U.S.-Israel relationship since the start of the Obama administration. Before you watch the president's speech, please look at this film which contrasts the president's rhetoric with his record."

Netanyahu Tells Obama ‘Israel Remains the Master of its Fate’ "President Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu began their meeting today with Obama reminding the Israeli prime minister about his speech to AIPAC and Netanyahu reminding Obama that Israel will still take whatever course of action it deems best."

Dept: Obama Claims Bush Administration Dropped the Ball on Iran

Israel Hayom: Barak: A nuclear Iran will be unstoppable in a year   (November 20, 2011)
"Now the president has to worry about the inconvenient timing of several possibilities with regards to Iran. The Iranians could complete their nuclear program before next November, meaning it occurred on his watch, a bad rap for the administration, similar to Truman being blamed for “losing China.” Or Israel could choose to act before November, based on its own estimate of Iran’s timing for its nuclear program. An Israeli attack would likely draw the U.S. into the conflict, and on the side of Israel, with negative implications for Obama’s Muslim outreach program, not to mention the risk of casualties and widespread destruction."


On Iran: More Policy, Less Politics  "This week we learned that a major component of American's Iran policy is "buying time." Consider what Vice President Joe Biden's national security adviser recently admitted, according to Haaretz:

U.S. policy on Iran is aimed at "buying time and continuing to move this problem into the future, and if you can do that - strange things can happen in the interim," Anthony Blinken, National Security Adviser to Vice President Biden and Deputy Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, said on Monday.

North Korea tested Iranian warhead or “dirty bomb” in 2010 for $55m  "It now appears that Western intelligence has known about the North Korean tests for Iran for eleven months. Therefore, it is too late for him to try and persuade the Israeli prime minister that there is still time to spare for cutting short a nuclear Iran.

It was announced in Washington Monday that no joint American-Israeli communiqué would be issued at the end of their talks, meaning they will have agreed to disagree: Obama, to stand by his opposition to military action against Iran; Netanyahu, to decide what Israel must do in the interests of its security."

 Democratic Congressman Is Keynote Speaker At Communist Party USA Event Meant To Slam Tea Party  "While it may be surprising that a member of Congress would associate with the CPUSA, it's not surprising that it's Congressman Davis. According to Key Wiki, Congressman Davis is an openly Socialist member of Congress and has attended many fundraisers and award ceremonies for the CPUSA in the past.

"But what may be truly disturbing is that this openly Socialist Politician and known supporter of the CPUSA actually has a seat in the Committee on Homeland Security."   From P/Oed Patriot/

Congressman Davis is a member of several Congressional Caucuses including the Congressional Black Caucus, the Progressive Caucus, the Urban Caucus, the Community Health Center's Caucus, and the Congressional Sugar Caucus.

Tired of Obama’s Koran-Burning Apologies Yet?

Debbie Schlussel   "Where were the Islamic world’s apologies for 9/11, for Fort Hood, for the attempted Times Square massacre, for the 1993 WTC bombing, for the U.S.S. Cole, for TWA Flight 847 and Robert Dean Stethem, for William Buckley and Rich Higgins, for Cleo Noel and George Curtis Moore, for the Marines in the Beirut Barracks, for the Marines in the German disco, for Pan Am Flight 103, for Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, for the Khobar Towers, for Nick Berg, for Paul Johnson, for Daniel Pearl, for U.S. contractors burnt to a crisp and hung from a bridge in Fallujah, for the Navy SEALs who died in the shot-down helicopter?  Crickets chirping . . . .  But a ton of apologies out of us for what?  For the burning of a book that has inspired 1.8 billion to hate us and quite a few of that number to try–and succeed–in killing us?

...."The Islamic world would actually respect us–and fear us–more, if we deliberately burned Korans.  Instead, we did it by accident–because Islamic terrorists defaced them in order to communicate jihadist plans on their pages." 

Rush Apologizes, but what about these people on the left?

Kirsten Powers: Rush Limbaugh Isn’t the Only Media Misogynist  "Yes, it’s true. Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher, Matt Taibbi, and Ed Schultz have been waging it for years with their misogynist outbursts. There have been boycotts by people on the left who are outraged that these guys still have jobs. Oh, wait. Sorry, that never happened.

"Boycotts are reserved for people on the right like Rush Limbaugh,..." Left-wing commentators remarks about conservatives. 
(We regret that quoting the language below uncensored is necessary to show these people have sunk to depths of vitriol that we have never seen from the right.)

• Liberal radio host Ed Schultz was telling listeners Monday that Palin was an "empty pantsuit" who had set off a "bimbo alert."
• "Now when I read [Michelle Malkin's] stuff, I imagine her narrating her text, book-on-tape style, with a big, hairy set of balls in her mouth."  Matt Taibbi in "Teabagging Michelle Malkin"
• Bill Maher Jokes About Rick Santorum's Wife Using a Sex Toy   "So, in Maher's demented world, because Santorum views sex as something special between a husband and a wife, that means he hates sex so much that his wife needs sex toys."

NY Times: Limbaugh Advertisers Flee Show Amid Storm   "Emboldened by Rush Limbaugh’s public apology over the weekend to a law school student whom he had called a “slut” and a “prostitute,” critics of the radio talk show host are intensifying their online campaign against his advertisers.

Selwyn Duke: Is the Word 'Slut' Still Relevant?*  "It really is a testimonial as to how we live in that prophesied time in which good is called bad and bad is called good. Undesirable behavior is kept to a minimum through stigmatization, and to this end we have always labeled such behavior and those who habitually engage in it with derogatory terms. Now, however, it is the virtuous who are stigmatized into silence."  
...."Meanwhile, oh-so chivalrous Barack Obama placed a phone call to feminist Fluke to offer his support -- and increase his among the fairer sex. I guess he's that certain type of man who uses loose women for personal gain."

American Thinker: Panicky Advertisers Abandon Limbaugh   "Do any of these companies care that the Democratic Party, which is advancing this contraceptive spectacle, promotes abortion which has snuffed out 53 million American lives since 1973?  Do these companies have any idea whatsoever about the evil of the abortion holocaust as compared to the mistake of calling someone a derogatory name?"




The Fluke Gambit Pays Off For Dems  "We've seen this PR stunt before, going back to the Clarence Thomas hearings twenty years ago. That media riot was also designed to convince liberals that Mr. Thomas hated women. It failed when Clarence Thomas seized the headlines by accusing the media of staging a "high tech lynching" against him. The sheer, shocking truth of that charge silenced them for a few days, while they scrambled to make up an answer, and the Senate Judiciary Committee seized the moment to pass Thomas through the committee.

"The key to it all is coordinated media scapegoating."

"This is a Democrat specialty."

 National Review: Limbaugh’s Apology  "To continue the controversy at this point would be merely to pursue the vendetta against Limbaugh in exactly the way that has landed us in the mess our culture’s in. In short: If people don’t let this go at this point, they shouldn’t complain the next time somebody engages in insults, refuses to apologize, and makes our culture even coarser. If you reward something, you tend to get more of it. Let’s try rewarding decency for a change, and see what happens."

Asked About Rush, Newt Turns Tables On 'Elite Media'

(Comment added) What about those Obama Harvard videos Breitbart announced?

Before It's News



 Rick Moran: Breitbart 'Obama tapes' from Harvard will be out soon  "I don't know if there's going to be anything explosive or damaging to Obama in some videotapes that Andrew Breitbart got a hold of from the president's days at Harvard. It would have been much better if we had some film of Obama from his years spent at Columbia, where the probable reason we don't know much about his time spent there was because he hung around with a lot of student radicals. 
"By the time Obama got to Harvard, his career path was set and he was probably very careful about his associations. Still, the mystery of Obama's past that our watchdog press never got around to telling us about will have some gaps filled in if these videos are indeed, released."

Sorry to rain on a good parade but consider this: It mattered not one bit to Democrats that Bill Clinton was accused of rape. And to whom will it matter that Obama was in the company of communists and violent left-wing radicals? To the "occupiers" who call for government to run every aspect of business and life? To those who waved Soviet* flags on the night of Obama's inauguration and posted pictures of Che Guevara in his campaign offices? *Language advisory

Lloyd Marcus: Sorry, Fluke. Update: Rush Apologizes

Lloyd Marcus  "The Fluke contraception controversy is Democrat inspired. It is yet another example of Democrats promoting and trying to force all Americans to fund behavior many Americans would consider to be sinful. We taxpayers are minding our own business. We are, for the most part, passively ignoring America's cultural rot.
"But our passivity is not enough for the Democrats. They demand that we pay for behaviors which are in conflict with the principles, values and faith of many Americans.
...."Also, am I weird or old-fashioned for thinking it a bit shameful for a woman to go before congressional committee to basically say, I sleep around a lot and demand that taxpayers pay for my birth-control? Fluke is a prime example of how nothing is shameful any more, which is in-keeping with the moral relativism philosophy taught in colleges. Moral Relativism in a nutshell says nothing is right or wrong and no one has a right to judge the morality of anything."


What did Sandra Fluke really say?  Text and video.


A Statement from Rush, followed by commentary from Ed Morrissey  of  Hot Air:

For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week.  In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke.
I think it is absolutely absurd that during these very serious political times, we are discussing personal sexual recreational activities before members of Congress. I personally do not agree that American citizens should pay for these social activities. What happened to personal responsibility and accountability? Where do we draw the line? If this is accepted as the norm, what will follow? Will we be debating if taxpayers should pay for new sneakers for all students that are interested in running to keep fit?In my monologue, I posited that it is not our business whatsoever to know what is going on in anyone's bedroom nor do I think it is a topic that should reach a Presidential level.
My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices.

" I think Rush did the right thing in apologizing to Fluke.  However, let’s keep in mind that it was Fluke who made her sexual activity a matter of national political debate by insisting that the government pass laws and regulations forcing employers and insurers to provide her free contraception, and apparently as much as she and others demand." 

Obama Calls Law Student Demanding Free Contraception

"You have to appreciate the Orwellian nature of this clip. Obama is calling this woman, who is already being used for fundraising by Democrats, to offer his support to someone and to decry political attacks on individual citizens. Meanwhile, everyone in the room understand that this is a thinly veiled attack on Rush Limbaugh by…the President:"...


Michelle Malkin:Sandra Fluke is not a “slut.” She’s a femme-agogue tool; DCCC, Emily’s list fund-raise off of Rush   "Let’s be clear (to use Obama’s favorite phrase): This is not just the politics of personal destruction. It’s a vendetta of campaign finance destruction. Under the guise of “disclosure,” Team Obama is exploiting the power of high government office to intimidate lawful, peaceful contributors who support limited-government causes."


Did Obama call Sarah Palin after this was said about her? From the Freedom Fighter's Journal :  "A week after calling former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin a "dumb t***" vulgar insult for women, comedian Bill Maher went all the way and called Palin the c-word, adding, "There's just no other word for her." " 


Did Obama call Palin after this: Letterman Attacks Palin's Daughter: She Was Knocked Up By A-Rod ?

"Sarah Palin says the joke was “sexually perverted” and “disgusting”. She also said Letterman’s joke that she looked like a “slutty flight attendant” as “pretty pathetic”. Letterman in the above response said he thought the flight attendant joke was actually pretty good."
Former Congresswoman Smacks Down Bill Maher for Calling Fox's Megyn Kelly 'Not Bright' 'Blonde Twink'  "First, he completely forgot that his previous guest just released a book about the sexist treatment of women in the Obama White House and that he actually discussed this issue with him.
"Next, he went after the intellectual capacity of Megyn Kelly, a former attorney that is considered one of the most intelligent people on Fox News. As anyone familiar with Kelly's work knows, Maher wouldn't last 60 seconds in a debate on any subject with her.

"But right-thinking observers know Maher's sexism and misogyny, especially for conservative women, knows no bounds."

(Audio) How President Obama is threatening our Religious Freedom and declaring war with the Catholic Church

Religious Liberty Homily  "On February 5, 2012 Father Sammie Maletta delivered a Homily at St. John the Evangelist Parish in St. John, Indiana. This Homily addressed how President Obama is threatening our Religious Freedom and declaring war with the Catholic Church. Please take a few moments to listen. No one sums it up quite like Father Maletta. Go to http://bit.ly/zPdgpw to fight the HHS Mandate"  And this is from a priest who basically likes Obama.

"The priest is a lawyer - the parish is middle class, northern Indiana, blue collar, mostly Democratic.

It's clear, direct and created a fire of activity."
