It is not often that such a grotesque personality can wield such influence. It takes a certain confluence of social ills to allow them to leave such a mark
House Speaker John Boehner’s spokesman called the comments “inappropriate.”
It takes a particular level of disgust to turn those who have profited from such a vile character whose very characteristics have defined a party against itself.
Rush Limbaugh is the essence of the "conservative" movement, its very beating heart, indeed he spouts daily everything that it holds dear, he is in fact their kingmaker. It is in fact amazing that some dare to oppose his will. Could this be a turning point? Hardly. The problem is he vocalized their disdain too soon, a mere tactical error that needs rebuttal, since this is in fact what they think.
Slut, whore, witch.
These thoughts they hold as self evident, but one must win an election first. The House record tells it all:
The War On Women.
There's no doubt about it: these people hate women and would have no problem seeing a return to back-alley abortions
Should not be declared until the battle is won, that Rush spoke too soon, does not mean that they do not agree.
In fact what surprises me is that such mild comments by Rush have induced so much panic in those that have proposed far worse.
