(16,398 posts)Rush Limbaugh stated on his February 28, 2012 radio show that a young female law student, Sandra Fluke, is a slut and a prostitute after she testified to congress on birth control issues. Just yesterday he stated that she and all other women who use birth control should now post sex videos on the internet. His words, carried on the AFR, implied that every woman who uses birth control is a slut and a prostitute who should be making and posting pornographic material on the internet. (Of course, he did not use the word women, he used his favorite term for women, feminazi."
For the AFR to continue to air his show is essentially agreeing with him. Is this the message you want the women in service to our country to hear?
These types of comments are not a onetime thing with Limbaugh, he has a long history of displaying disrespect and abuse towards women. On the ass-ets of a sports reporter: She knows she has ass-ets.
Boob-alicious, booty-licious, whatever you want to call it, shes got it.
Another time: "Some of these babes, I'm telling you, like the sexual harassment crowd. They're out there protesting what they actually wish would happen to them sometimes."
He has referred to Hillary Clinton as the Sextatary of State.
So I ask you, is my daughter a slut," prostitute, or boob- alicious? Just as important, is YOUR daughter also one? Allowing his show to continue to run on AFR is telling women everywhere you approve of how Limbaugh speaks about women.
Is this the message you want to send to 14 16% of your active duty personnel? That you agree with Limbaugh and they are mere sluts? Is this the message that you want to send to the men in the military? Women are nothing more than prostitutes for their amusement. I would hope not. If you continue to air his program that is exactly what the message you are approving of.
