McCain: Limbaugh’s Attacks Are ‘Totally Unacceptable,’ ‘Should Be Condemned By Everyone’
By Alex Seitz-Wald on Mar 5, 2012 at 10:00 am

In back-to-back TV appearances this morning, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) strongly condemned Rush Limabugh for his assault on Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke. “His remarks are totally unacceptable. Totally and completely unacceptable. And there’s no place for it,” McCain said on CNN. “Those statements were unacceptable in every way and should be condemned by everyone,” he added on CBS. Watch it:

McCain did not reference the apology Limbaugh offered this weekend, but many — including at least two advertisers — have been unsatisfied with it, as the radio host expressed little contrition and used the venue to further his false attacks on Fluke.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who has been the most outspoken religious leader against President Obama’s new contraception mandate, which sparked this whole controversy, spoke out against Limbaugh yesterday, saying the conservative entertainer should not be so “pugnacious.” “Whatever we do, and however strongly we feel, we do it charitably, we do it civilly,” Dolan said. “We don’t judge the motives of other people.”

Meanwhile, Christine Todd Whitman, the former Republican governor of New Jersey and Bush EPA administrator, said Limbaugh’s statement was “hardly an apology,” and also criticized lawmakers in her own party. “What is more to the point, and an issue for Republicans, is holding a hearing on contraceptives without a woman on the panel.”

No - I'm just saying the left should not be upset over this.

No - I'm just saying the left should not be upset over this.   

here's the thing - it doesn't matter what 'the left' thinks.  they're voting for obama no matter what.  just like it doesnt matter what 'the right' thinks about rush's comment.  they're voting anti-obama no matter what.

the only people that matter here are moderates.  The swing voters that decide evvery election.  They don't like seeing women called sluts.  When obama tells romney at the debate "Look, mitt, Rush called a woman a horrible name, and I called her personally.  You?  You said you wouldn't have phrased it like that.  You couldn't even stand up to a radio host - how in the world can we trust you to stand up to problems of the world when you're scared of a DJ?"


ANd it's true.  Santorum showed balls on it.  Mitt did not.

"Mr. President, while you called Sandra fluke and told her she should be proud of herself for asking for free rubbers, I called and helped out that father whose son lost Tricare benefits you cut as well as the families of Agent Brian Terry and Jamie Zapata, who still cant get answers about their sons' deaths as a result of your failed Fast and Furious mess"

Hahaha, you actually think swing voters are going to vote based on a Rush comment? Yeah, that makes sense. You clowns are so desperate to distract from $5.00 gas (the type of thing that people do base their votes on) that it's just comedic now.

No one will care about this in two weeks, let alone November.

Let's see: Defending our country's borders from drug dealers and human traffickers vs. asking a Catholic school to pay for rubbers and pills so she can screw without conscience (all the while, hiding behind cases of women with PCOS, which can be treated with OTHER DRUGS besides birth control pills).

e is a list of the companies we believe to be Rush's advertisers. (Note, things are happening very quickly, so we cannot guarantee right now that these are all current advertisers). We will update these as they react to the "Boycott Rush" movement, or confirm they are no longer supporting him.
  AllState joins companies pulling ads from @RushLimbaugh radio show - @cnbcbrk



•AOL:  Their "TechGuru" service offers a discount "exclusively for Rush Limbaugh listeners" (click to see)  (UPDATE: AOL says it has "suspended" its advertising. This is not the same as dropping him, but it's a good start)
•AutoZone (UPDATE: They say that they do not sponsor Rush, and that if a commercial was run, it was in error)
•Carbonite (UPDATE: They've dropped him!)

•Citrix (UPDATE: Citrix has pulled their ads!)
•Lear Capital
•LegalZoom  (UPDATE: LegalZoom has confirmed with us directly that it is pulling its ads!)
•LifeLock
•Oreck (UPDATE: Oreck says it does not now advertise on Rush, but may have had some ads on a while back as part of a broad media buy)
•ProFlowers: (UPDATE: They've dropped him!  This is a big win, since they had been featuring "Rush Limbaugh discount codes" earlier. Oh. My. God. They are actually featuring "Rush Limbaugh discount codes")
•Sears: Sears says that it does not advertise on Rush, but that an ad may have been run in error.  However, an ad was heard late last week on the show, so this is a question mark for now.
•Sleep Train: (UPDATE: Victory! They have pulled their ads! -- source)
•Sleep Number: (UPDATE: Victory! They have pulled their ads! -- source)
•Quicken Loans (UPDATE: Appears to be a victory here too, as they are reportedly pulling ads as well!)
•TaxResolution: (UPDATE: They have "suspended" their advertising)
•(Stay tuned, we're tracking Rush's broadcast, and will list more advertisers as we are made aware of them.  Also, see Think Progress for their own updated list, since they might get stuff before we do!)

She did not ask for Georgetown to pay for rubbers and the pill so stop perpetuating that lie

Weird how you fundies have no problem bearing false witness

don't you know that lying makes baby jesus cry

[blacken700]

they just repeat what talk radio tells them

[Straw Man]

they just repeat what talk radio tells them

the funniest part is that Georgetown has a healthcare plan for their employees that does provide contraception so I guess by McWays logic the fine Jesuits at Georgetown are paying so that their employees can "screw without conscience"

Even funnier how fundies seem to be so fascinated with everyone's sex life

[blacken700]

it's the do-gooder in them
