In reply to the discussion: Apology Not Accepted: Fluke Says Limbaugh’s Statement Doesn’t ‘Change Anything’ [View all]AnneD
(15,774 posts)36. It was a back handed apology.....
that he tried to pass off as a 'joke'. Many American women are not laughing. We have put up with the feminazi comments, and all the jokes about hormonal levels-but he really crossed the line by calling this woman a slut. It was a very personal attack. He called her out by name and slandered her personally.
I listened to his actual word before I took my stand. The attack came out of his own mouth, no one else put those words there for him. I will continue to speak to his advertisers and those radio stations that carry him. This is the type of thing that should get him pulled off the airwaves and rightly so.
He is going to soon find out the truth of the saying 'Hell hath no fury like a woman's wrath'.

Rush and Clear Channel should both be sued for millions in punative damages, as well as each radio

She is a class act. Bravo to her for her choice of words to respond to Rush's non-apology.
