Yup, instead of just condemning Rush and leaving it at that, which is what decent people should do, we have a chorus of trying to find liberals who said something as bad about someone else.
You do understand there's a difference between attacking a private citizen/college student, and attacking a public figure/politician, don't you guys?
Or do you just not care, you just want to defend Rush?
This is what a 5th grader does.
Since Bill Maher is defending Limbaugh, that whole thing kind of blew up in the Right's face.
How so? Fluke has been exposed for what she is. A professional political activist. One more time Dems step in it trying to pull a "Winnifred in a Winnebago" moment. ETA: it was "patsy" the left played with Al Gore.
Since the Dems wanted to play this for all it's worth we've been able to find out that victimized co-ed heads a group that wants to make "abortion in America a human right using international law'.
And she is a serious legal advocate for this. And this organization actually targets Catholic hospitals as well.
No this has blown up in the Dems face.
Equivalency fail. By what standard to you use to make such an erroneous assumption? The fact they're both public figures? Or the fact that they both piss off people who they disagree with?Maher is just another hatemongering partisan wanker, JUST LIKE Rush, only without nearly the same size audience.
They both work toward the SAME END GAME, kiddies.
To keep AMERICANS at each other's throats.
And this place proves how easy it is to do that, too,
Actually, it was $3000.00 over a four year college term, which is about $750.00 a year, which I'm guessing is about normal.
Maher attacking Palin is just attacking Palin. Limbaugh attacking Fluke is attacking all women.
What a bunch of rationalistic crap.
Nope.
How is calling Palin the c-word insulting anyone but Palin?
Saying women who use birth control are "sluts" or "prostitutes" insults all women who use birth control (which is about 96% of sexually mature women.)
You know, there's a little concept of CONTEXT you guys are ignoring here.
When did he say that ? That all woman who use birth control were sluts ? The context thing is just stupid. More important things to deal with then this sluts birth control considering she can get it at very low cost or free. Its already starting to not be an issue.

Oh, quite the contrary. This has to be the dumbest move the GOP has made in a while.
First, let's review. The Bishops are not Conservative. They oppose most of what the GOP stands for, and they even helped Obama get ObamaCare passed to start with.
But when they found that there was this condition attached, they made an issue of it, and the GOP sided with them like a bunch of idiots hoping to troll for some votes.
Thing was, the voters were never on the Bishops' side on this. Even Most Catholics use brith control and are just fine with their insurance picking up the tab.
But then Rush had to totally step in it..
The Republican Coyote chews off three legs and is still caught in the trap.
If the goal is to get Obama out of office, then really, this mess just set the GOP a little further back.
Women who might think their access to birth control would become a little harder to get under a GOP administration might have stayed home otherwise.
It was a dumb hill to fight on, is what I'm saying.
Incidentally, I've listened to Rush, and 90% find him entertaining and he brings up issues that are relevant. This time he blew it. I've also watched Maher and find him amusing. Especially when he rips on religion. I think using the C-word against Palin or anyone is unacceptable.
The thing is, that Obama doesn't live in fear of the audience that Maher doesn't really have. Romney and Santorum live in fear of offending Rush's audience.

She testifies before congress....she's a public person now...
no. at most she's a limited public figure. and you wouldn't need actual malice to be liable for defaming her.
thanks for playing. anything so you can call a woman who's not a rightwingnut a slut. common affliction of rightwingnut males with small genitalia as evidenced by so many of you on this board.
anything that provides the person a forum and advertisement for a cause you approve of, yet protects them from questioning or background revelations that may reveal her or him as they are, advocates?

I like Maher, but that notwithstanding 'fucking asshole' is probably an apt description of him.
As you say he has a double standard, I hope you understand and hold him harmless for not coming to Sawah's defense. She is and has been one of the sleaziest of his critics, what in the world would obligate or incline him to come to her defense?
He went after rush, but not maher for making sleazy remarks degrading to women. Makes Obama a hack at best and a whore at worst.
I think that position is a product of something you determined ahead of time.
1. "****" is just an all-purpose pejorative. I don't know what specifically made Maher call Sarah one but I think the word describes her to a tee. I'm sure you don't agree but surely you can see why her political enemies would. And it's figurative; He wasn't literally saying she was, in her entirety, a biological vagina. Fluke on the other hand was literally called a prostitute; One who exchanges sexual favors for money; For her OUTRAGEOUS position that health insurance companies should be required to cover contraceptives?
2. Sorry, but there are few human beings on earth who have shown the vitriol, the bile, the hatred, the absolutely irrational malevolence to our POTUS as Sawah Bawwacuda; All to score political points and make MONEY! If I were Obama, I wouldn't take 30 seconds out of my day to save her life.
I don't know what specifically made Maher call Sarah one but I think the word describes her to a tee.
90% of HIS audience find him entertaining, and the issues he speaks on relevant. He is (was) the bad guy of the hour, its already starting to blow over. Obama is already doing badly because he is a shitty president. If he holds Fluke up as the victim that he is fighting for she will be one more reason why he lost. This is a non-issue, the commentary of Fluke has already been debunked. Thats why it has been reduced to fodder for talk radio and message boards.
I'd put it more at his approval rating... between 44 and 53% and dropping fast.90% of HIS audience find him entertaining, and the issues he speaks on relevant.

I give Obama a 90% chance of being re-elected.
Not because he's a good president, but because demographically, he has the right support.
The GOP walked into a door on this one. Absolutely.
If it is wrong, it is wrong both directions, not just one way. If Rush is wrong, then Maher is doubley so, as there is some truth to the assertion of sluttiness to a woman whose contraception runs 3000 dollars a year.

So they never taught you how to read a graph in Home Skule?
Obama's gone up from a low point of 42% approval in October to a 49% approval rating now.
Meanwhile, Romney's negatives are higher than his positives.
