Rush Limbaugh's Apology

[mrveggieman]

I'm surprised that no one has bought up Rush's offensive and insulting comments about Sandra Fluke and his half hearted apology.

He should have chosen better words, but his message was on point. Universities should not be required to provide free contraception to students, especially religious institutions.

Funny how I don't recall hearing Limbaugh complaining about insurance covering Viagra...

Is anyone trying to mandate that insurance cover viagra?

Actually, yes. It is covered by many insurers, and would be covered under Obamacare.

Currently, 28 states require insurance companies to cover birth control prescriptions. Why is it such an outrage that Obamacare would cover it? Or, why is there more of an outrage over it than there is about Obamacare as a whole?

because religious institutions are being required to pay for birth control which they oppose.

+1, if you actually listened to his whole premise, and not just what everyone is playing, it made logical sense. Not saying his choice on words was ok though.

His whole point was that if the government funds your contraception, condoms, etc. what does that make your relationship towards the government? He should have stopped there but went on to get more specific and called the government her pimp and her their prostitute.

I also love the double standard here.

Same president who excepts 1 mil from Bill Mahr to one of his pacts condemns Rush for what he said.

So a medication causing woman to be able to control her pregnancy is bad, but a medication causing a man to be able to bring about pregnancy is okay?

Am I the only one who sees the obvious double standard here?

Am I missing something? Did someone on here say that?
