Limbaugh should get back to being an oxycotin addict because this bullshit that is somehow marketed as political punditry is disgusting. You would think when are you talking about the women's movement or the civil rights movement you might want to do *some* research as to what were our guiding principles, along with some understanding of our wins.
No wonder right-wing pundits say such ignorant things about what they perceive as identity based voting. They don't know anything about it-which could turn into our advantage. I would give a more thorough response to his actual comments, but I am too busy convincing women to get abortions.
I think Rush Limbaugh owes it to us to STFU.

How do you all manage to have all those marriages and abortions while cutting men out of your lives? What an idiot.
Guess how many divorces Rush Limbaugh has had?
Damn. It's so hard to listen to stuff like this because on the one hand you just want to write it up as stupid, ignorant shit that should be ignored by EVERYONE, but on the other hand this man is extremely successfull, so clearly everyone ISN'T ignoring him.
Honestly, my gut reaction when I started listening to the audio was to say "Oh FUCK OFF, Rush" which I think just about sums it up.
I'm pretty sure he subscribes to the Oscar Wilde school of thought re: publicity.
Why is this creep allowed to be "commentator"
Why do people listen to this.. why do we pay attention to this douche bag?
"How do you all manage to have all those marriages and abortions while cutting men out of your lives? What an idiot."
This may be the first time ever I agree with noname.
Screw him I say. Thanks to Planned Parenthood (an organization i'm sure he's a fan of LOL) I've never had to consider abortion because of the birth control they provided.
I kind of skimmed most of the article, but what was absent seemed to be some version of his notorious remark abou thow feminism is for unattractive women....ummm since when is he the authority on what is ir isn't attractive. That would be like Peter Griffin from Family Guy wearing a shirt that says "No Fat Chicks"
What a bag of asshole. Yeah, I'm totally feeling *entitled* for him to STFU. I laughed out loud when he was going on about what women doing what the THE FEMINISTS *TOLD* US TO. He makes it sound like it's a cult.
This is the same Rush Limp-balls who was busted returning from the Dominican Republic, a country whose main tourist attraction is it large number of underage prostitutes.
Just to put to rest any doubt about what he was up to down there: He was nabbed at the airport with a suitcase full of boner pills.
A white supremacist dope addict and probable pedophile isn't a terribly reliable source on the subject of feminism, now is he?
I liked what Keith Olbermann had to say about this:
That's comedian Rush Limbaugh saying that, after being married 3 times and having had not children. Apparently he has done everything feminism has asked him to do.
Wow, I'm so glad Rush set me straight. I didn't know that I was under the mind control of the evil feminists to tell me to have three abortions. I don't remember them, so he must be right. I guess it's all that witchcraft you feminists practice. Thanks for setting me straight, Rush. Now I can skip birth control,have more kids than I want, and believe that women are evil liars and sluts. It's great that I have the mind control, I mean wisdom, of the patriarchy to fall back on. Oops, feminist mind control back in place-Fuck off, Rush Limbaugh!
Wow. I'm still shocked at his first few sentences. Um, feminism never asked me to get an abortion. That sounds more cult-like to me. And "SHOCK" I have never cut men out of my life. Oh My Gosh! What kind of feminist am I? I'm surprised he didn't say anything about how feminists gave up shaving legs.
Maybe he should talk to an actual feminist (and probably some White Obama supporters) before he opens his mouth again. The sad part is I'm going into law. Oh the ignorance that awaits me. Please light some candles for my sanity.

Question: What makes you think he's off the Oxycotin anyway?
I think Limbaugh is moving into the same far-right shock territory as Coulter. It won't last, but he needs to do what he can to make the money to get just one more fix.
By the way, It's really hard to be a feminist these days. Especially the part where you have to cut men out of your life and still have two or three abortions and two or three marriages. Very challenging and you need to be a very strong woman to do it.
Dude, I must be such a lousy feminist. I haven't done any of the the things feminism "told" me to do.
Interesting how I've never been married nor have I had an abortion, but I'm still a feminist and a Clinton supporter.
I can't wait until a Democrat wins and Limbaugh has to eat his words. Because words and OxyContin go together really well.
*I said a Democrat instead of Clinton because I acknowledge the possibility of an Obama nomination/presidency (and though it's not ideal, it's certainly better than Bush or McCain) and the fact that a black man will freak out Limbauh as much as a woman.
I love Feministing, but it doesn't win friends to suggest that someone return to being an addict, or to rag on someone's previous addiction problems. Addiction is serious, and while a history of it does diminish one's credibility, feminists can't and shouldn't fall into using low blows on the misfortunes of others.
We don't need to stoop down to that level.
I hate Rush Limbaugh--I'm not even sure that "hate" is a strong enough word, but I agree with jrirwin, it's not a good thing to wish someone to relapse on their addiction recovery. I'm a recovering alcoholic--would it be OK for a right-winger to tell me to hit the bar? No, it would not. And, Newbaum Turk, have you ever heard of Punta Cana? Lovely place full of luxurious resorts? It's in the Dominican Republic. I don't know where Rush was on that vacation, but I wouldn't be surprised if he came from Punta Cana. My husband and I almost booked a vacation there this spring, but we found a better deal in Jamaica. Would you assume we're going to Jamaica for the ganja?
Anyway, that said, yeah, it's hard being a feminist. Hard trying to find men to sleep with so we can get pregnant and have abortions, and then drive the men away. How do we even find the time to use our mind control over young women? But it's important work, so we do it.

I second that!
I'm in the process of reading Amanda Marcotte's It's a Jungle out there and just learned about the Clenis. And wouldn't you know, the very next day I listen to Rush's sound clip and he pulls it out! He's a sad and dirty man...
I think we all know RL went there for the prostitution, considering he went with a large stash of erection drugs and, considering the shit he says about women, I doubt they're lining up to sleep with him for free.

With a suitcase full of contraband boner pills?

I don't think you or your husband have ever been apologists for the atrocities committed at Abh Ghraib, which include the rape of at least one child. I also doubt you would ever hawk T-shirts yukking it up over the kennels in Guantanamo (where children as young as 11 were held after being abducted). Rush Limp-balls has.
I agree that Rush is an asshole and a hatemonger. Still, I'm beyond dismayed at the wish that he would start up using oxycotin again. There are people in the world who undoubtedly care for him, and addiction hurts them possibly more than it hurts him. My mother is a recovering alcoholic, and I would not wish a relapse on anyone. To mock someone else's disease and wish that the descend back into it is hateful and classless, and I expect more from the people who are supposed to be on my side. Not that I'll be holding my breath for an apology from Samhita...
Wow, good thing he reminded me of what it means to be a feminist! I'm waaaaay behind on my marriage-and-abortion quota. Sorry for dragging down the team there, I'll get right on that!
