Rep. Speier calls for boycott of Limbaugh sponsors By Eric W. Dolan Thursday, March 1, 2012 16:25 EST Print 69 Rep Jackie Speier photo by Christianne Marra Topics: Limbaugh ♦ rush limbaugh Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) on Thursday said that if the sponsors of Rush Limbaugh’s radio show continued to support his “hate mongering” then women should boycott those companies. “I rise this morning to say to Rush Limbaugh, shame on you,” she said on the House floor. “Shame on you for being the hatemonger that you are. Shame on you for being misogynistic.” Limbaugh on Wednesday called Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke a “prostitute” and a “slut” because of her testimony in Congress about contraception. Fluke explained that her friend, a lesbian, could not afford the oral contraception she needed to prevent ovarian cysts from forming because her university refused to pay for them on religious grounds. “After months of paying over $100 out-of pocket, she just couldn’t afford her medication anymore, and she had to stop taking it,” Fluke said. “Without her taking the birth control, a massive cyst the size of a tennis ball had grown on her ovary. She had to have surgery to remove her entire ovary as a result.” But on his show, Limbaugh accused Fluke of not being able to afford contraception because she was “having so much sex.” Then on Thursday, he demanded that women post sex tapes online if they use insurance-covered birth control. “Shame on you for calling the women of this country prostitutes,” Speier said. “Ninety-eight percent of the women in this country at some time in their lives used birth control.” “So I say to the women in this country, do something about this,” she continued. “I say to the women of this country, ask Century 21, Quicken Loans, Legal Zoom, and Sleep Number to stop supporting the hate mongering of Rush Limbaugh and if they do not do that, then I ask them to boycott those companies.”

“After months of paying over $100 out-of pocket, she just couldn’t afford her medication anymore, and she had to stop taking it,” Fluke said. So Georgetown University doesn't pay for any woman's birth control?? Mommy and Daddy wouldn't pay for it?? Her lesbian/leftist/fellow traveler women wouldn't kick in the bucks she needed and instead condemned her to certain surgery?? They couldn't/wouldn't hold a fund-raiser??? Who's holding their feet to the fire for abandoning one of their own??? Who has verified Flukes story??? Smells like bullshit to me. When, oh when, will these self-entitled women SHUT THE HELL UP??? I'm sick and tired of leftist women whining endlessly about their personal problems and trying to foist their problems off on other people, and ALWAYS at somebody elses expense. Fluke explained that her friend, a lesbian, could not afford the oral contraception she needed to prevent ovarian cysts from forming because her university refused to pay for them on religious grounds.

I don't care for Limbaugh or this loud mouth bitch from California. She claims to be a catholic but admitted having an abortion on the floor of congress. The truth is that none of these hypocrites has an iota of credibility and no one should pay an iota of attention to them. These same self-centered folks have brought us the current conditions under which America struggles smiling, shucking, jiving and campaigning all the way. They have no remorse, and Americans have no brains. Most people fear the IRS will attack them if they don't support these murdering sons and daughters of bitches and bastards from hell. That just about says it all. No guts. It's easier and safer to finance the murder of little kids that have never harmed anyone than to call fraud on this malevolent rogue butcher we call the UNITED STATES. Run by a cabal of charlatans, paedophiles, queers and worse, the UNITED STATES has become an abomination deserving much, much worse than it has thusfar been dealt. But don't you worry, karma is a bitch and never fails to meet its obligations. Shame, disgust, anger, and even sadness at what we've become in my lifetime are my immediate thoughts - and worse is the "hatred" I have for these shit eating scumbags that have the American people condoning their bullshit - getting excited, campaigning, going door to door, telephoning potential voters, and finally voting to elect some more scum to rule over them - Really Tom, who gives a flying fuck what this congressional whore has to say about that media whore and vice-versa ? Why is it so hard for us to say - OK, tomorrow we get up at 5:00 A.M. - we meet at 7:00 A.M. and we burn D.C. to the fucking ground at 9:00 A.M. Never mind, don't answer, I'm sure we can perform an exorcism or something sane instead. “Shame on you for calling the women of this country prostitutes,” Speier said. “Ninety-eight percent of the women in this country at some time in their lives used birth control.”

YOU SAID: I'll hold my nose and work within the system. Then I said: Truly, holding ones nose does very little good while being force fed boatloads of steaming hot shit by the faggots, paedophiles and Jews running the country. Put down that bottle of Jack and read slower ... the whole sentence. Sorry N, lost me.

And Planned Parenthood was out of birth control pills in that area? She couldn't get assistance at the Health Dept. either? Doubtful. Does the government entitle everyone to organ transplants at taxpayer expense if needed? I don't think so. The government doesn't even entitle the poor to pick out a pair of eyeglass frames of their choice above a certain price-range, which is bargain-basement. Do men have any reproductive rights in the Abortion issue? What can we do to have the government provide for them anatomically or for their lifestyle choices? Bill taxpayers for their shaving supplies if they don't want to grow a beard? could not afford the oral contraception she needed to prevent ovarian cysts from forming because her university refused to pay for them on religious grounds.

What a treat to find that a topic that started with no mention of Jews turns into an opportunity for several of you to inject antisemitism into the thread. In the meantime, Rush Limbaugh has committed old fashioned, actionable, defamation (and that it was on national radio makes it libel instead of slander). Each radio station that carried his broadcast could be made liable as well. It's not enough to go after his sponsors. Complaints to the FCC against his broadcasters should also be made.

Me too......there's a Planned Parenthood within two miles of any university in this country where she could get her 'medication'. Smells like bullshit to me.

People in Thailand innocently sell Hitler t-shirts with no mention of jews or The Holocaust and jews howl "antisemitism!!" in an attempt to destroy people's business ventures. See how that works????

This desert is a combination of jewish horseshit and government bullshit with fraud sprinkled over it by churches and the media. Warning This dish may cause constipation and/or delusion. It should be noted that Abe Foxman has been stirring this shit for almost 5 decades !

I saw this stupid bitch on Chris Matthews' show earlier this afternoon, 'guest' Joan Walsh was the usual "outraged woman" speaking as an authority figure. I just wanted to put an axe into all three of their heads.

Limbaugh, being a brain-damaged pill popper, does not understand the nature of the birth control pill nor the story presented by Sandra Fluke. Limbaugh seems to think that birth control pills are like condoms - use one for each sex act, don't use them until there's a sex act. Actually, the pill has to be taken continually, one each day, regardless of whether the woman is having frequent sex or very little; it even requires a start-up month of daily pill- taking when another contraceptive method is recommended because the body has to first adjust to the pill. Second, and maybe this is more important, Sandra Fluke was describing another young woman - who was not having sex with men - who was afflicted with painful overian cysts (unrelated to her sex life) - the birth control pills had a secondary effect of reducing these cysts and the pain they caused. Because the Georgetown student health plan would not provide these pills at all - even for non-contraceptive purposes - her cysts became so severe that she was required to have surgery to remove one of her two ovaries. So she is now less likely to give birth permanently, although she definitely wasn't doing anything to risk pregnancy while in school; also, the loss of an ovary will probably necessitate taking some hormonal replacement for the rest of her life, considerably more troublesome and expensive than just the birth control pill. Limbaugh didn't understand any of this. That, 50 years after its invention, he thinks that the birth control pill is taken one-per-sex-act, is the sort of mistake you'd expect from promiscuous 12-year-olds, not a purported mature man.
