- Limbaugh claimed Michael J. Fox “exaggerated” his Parkinson’s symptoms (”he is an actor, afterall”) and then after apologizing, he continued attacking the actor by bringing up a passage in Fox’s book Lucky Man in which he pointed out he didn’t take his medication before testifying at a Senate hearing to highlight the effects of the disease.
- He called Sandra Fluke a “slut” after she testified before Congress that she felt her birth control should be covered by her employer’s insurance. After apologizing, he continued to attack her. “Not one person says, ‘Well, did you ever think about maybe backing off the amount of sex you have?’” Limbaugh said.
- Limbaugh referred to any soldier who criticized the war in Iraq as “a phony soldier”.
- Limbaugh insulted refugees and immigrants numerous times. Ex: He once said toilet water was “a step up” for them.
- Limbaugh referred to the Christchurch, NZ mosque shooting as “a false flag” at a time when Trump was praising Limbaugh and his audience.
To quote Clarence Darrow:
“I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.”
So, earlier on, I found out something that recently happened that I’m actually quite happy about: Rush Limbaugh has gotten advanced lung cancer! Isn’t that wonderful news! This means that it’s only a matter of time before he’s finally dragged off into the pits of hell, where he belongs. Ever since he said his verbal cacaoughany at Sandra Fluke back in 2012, I’ve been wishing for Rush Limbaugh’s death. And now, that wish is just about to be granted. For all the horrible things that Rush Limbaugh said and did in his life, he’s finally gonna pay with his life. Now if only President Donald J Trash didn’t give him that award the other day. Uh, Mr. dumbass Donald, you realize that this guy is a sexist, racist, rape apologist who made up that “no means yes” crap. Well, “no” is gonna mean “yes” when the devil asks him for his soul. He’ll refuse with all his might, but the devil will still drag him to hell. So, bye bye, Rush. Glad to see you gone for good.
By the way, if you haven’t read Al Franken’s book “Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot” go to your nearest bookstore and buy it. And if you like and support Mr. Limbaugh, get your head examined.
President Trump is expected to nominate Penny Nance, the president of Concerned Women for America, to be his ambassador-at-large for global women’s issues, Politico reported late last week.

President Trump is expected to nominate Penny Nance, the president of Concerned Women for America, to be his ambassador-at-large for global women’s issues, Politico reported late last week.
Planned Parenthood likened the move to “putting an arsonist in charge of the fire department.”
At CWA, Nance has led efforts to oppose reproductive rights and LGBTQ equality, instead promoting a conservative view of feminism she calls “feisty and feminine.” The “war on women,” to Nance, is “actually a civil war.”
Nance is firmly opposed to abortion rights—she has said that legal abortion is worse than the Holocaust—but also enjoys taking a contrarian, anti-feminist stand on a number of other women’s rights issues. Nance opposed a 2012 reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act; CWA complained that the bill would create “new protections for homosexuals.” She also led the charge against the approval of a new National Women’s History Museum on the Mall, claiming that it would “indoctrinate” visitors by giving too much space to pro-choice activists.
[...]
Nance opposed the repeal of the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, and warned that allowing gay troop leaders in the Boy Scouts would “put our young sons at risk.” She has urged parents to keep their children at home during the annual Day of Silence that’s meant to counter anti-LGBT bullying in schools. In 2010, under Nance’s leadership, CWA refused to participate in the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) because it was being sponsored in part by a group of gay conservatives. She once compared gay people’s marriages to “counterfeit money.”
[...]
Although Nance was an ardent Never Trumper at the start of the Republican primaries, signing a letter from a group of anti-choice activists who said they were “disgusted by Mr. Trump’s treatment of individuals, women, in particular,” she later got on the Trump train, joining the candidate’s “pro-life advisory council.”
Recently, Nance marveled that her group has “unprecedented” access to the White House under Trump. Now, she stands to benefit even more from Trump’s presidency.
A Contraception & Sexuality Primer for Conservatives
If you remove the joy, you’re left with probably the most awkward, vulnerable, and possibly disgusting act you can perform with another person that doesn’t involve rooting for the New York Yankees. So having sex for fun isn’t going anywhere.
A Contraception & Sexuality Primer for Conservatives was originally published on The Political Garbage Chute
I was proud to share the stories of my friends at Georgetown Law who have suffered dire medical consequences because our student insurance does not cover contraception for the purpose of preventing pregnancy.
Freedom is an essential, but insufficient ingredient in full equality. We must work to ensure our citizens also have the means to effectuate their dreams and do not face inequitable barriers.
