My response to Rush
I am a small businesswoman who owns a few internet shops under the name
Scarebaby Design. When President Obama asked people to tweet what $40 means
to them, I replied with a tweet that said "$40 means I can pay my internet
bill and keep my tiny small business going." To my surprise, the White House
retweeted my tweet, to its nearly 3 million followers.
What happened after that was quite bewildering. Rush Limbaugh, the
conservative radio talk show host, took to the airwaves to call my tweet "BS",
"a White House-generated response" and "ignorant". (1)
After I protested on Twitter and in Democratic Underground that, in fact, I am
a real person with a real business, Mr. Limbaugh called me "an idiot" and
tried to imply that the name of my business, Scarebaby, had something to do
with "terrorizing babies in the womb." (2)
A few clicks of the mouse would have revealed that I am a real person, my
business is real, and the name Scarebaby has nothing to do with pregnancy, but
rather is a fond reference to the movie "It's a Wonderful Life".
Meanwhile, some of his listeners began tweeting that I was a liar, a fraud,
stupid, and other choice hate comments. They posted personal information,
including my real name, address, phone number, political donations, etc on
conservative forums in a threatening manner. They called me "a target" on
Twitter.
It would be great if I could make anti-Limbaugh tshirts. It would be great if
I could sue him for slander, for spreading malicious lies, and for inciting
others to acts of hate.
But I am bound by the law of the land. I'm not allowed to use his name or
image for profit. I'm not allowed to sue for defamation, slander or libel,
because he considers himself an 'entertainer'.
I am also bound by something alien to Mr. Limbaugh: the law of common decency.
All I can do is demand an apology and a correction from him.
If you agree that Rush Limbaugh owes me an apology, and needs to stop his
campaign of spreading hate through lies, then please repost and link to this
piece wherever you can.
Thank you.

ps-- It's my understanding that the self employed DO
get the payroll tax cut as a reduction in our self employment tax aka FICA.
The self employed pay both the employer and employee shares, and get a 2%
discount on the employee share.

(1) "...it's BS. Nobody actually sent that. That's a White House-generated
response. And do you know how I know? You may not know how I know. But this is
the level of ignorance that we have that is associated with this. Mr.
ScareBaby cannot possibly have a small business and get this payroll tax cut.
The self-employed don't get it....
"...So Mr. ScareBaby, this is obviously not a real person. This is somebody in
the White House getting this Tweet ball rolling."

(2) "ScareBaby, you're an idiot. You're self-employed! You don't qualify for
the payroll tax cut." No self-employed person gets the payroll tax cut. You
gotta be an employee. If you're a small business owner -- a "very" small
business owner, a "tiny" small business owner -- you're not an employee. Well,
guess what? ScareBaby posted on the Democrat Underground that she's upset
because I'm "sliming" her. It turns out Mr. ScareBaby is a woman and says, "I
got slimed by Rush today on his show. Need your help." So somebody from the
White House is feeling that I'm sliming them. ScareBaby.
"RUSH: Hey, ScareBaby? I understand you're trying to find tape of me saying
what I said about you. I'll say some more about you. You are the Democrat
mascot: ScareBaby! The Democrat Party's entire political agenda depends on
fear of pregnancy. Stop and think about that. Not to mention literally
terrorizing babies in the womb. Fear of pregnancy. Stop and think what the
Democrats are putting out there."

You really think that Rush is going to read all of this. It's already 24 business hours later. He doesn't even remember who you are.

against the law and a criminal act. They are threatening you at the same time they screed about freedom of speech. I worry about this country with people like this out there.
Free speech is only for those who you approve of.

:loser:
What "acts" have been committed against you, other than someone hurt your little feelings? And there are plenty of Limbaugh items (http://shop.cafepress.com/rush-limbaugh) on CafePress.
It's not somebody else's fault that you're a dumbass.
-
She should be thanking Rush for the free publicity. I bet her website has never gotten so many hits as it has in the last couple of days...
-
How is this a reply to Rush?
It reads like a reply to a moonbat complaining about Rush.
-
Obviously sarcasm & humor are lost on this one.

Isn't Cafe Press basically free? so how is there a cost maintaining a store there? and don't they make up the shirts, cups etc. and you get just a small %age of what is sold? and I thought the left was boycotting Cafe Press?
-
If $40 is all that is keeping your business running, I would rethink how I was running my business if I was you.

I think it's both. Choosing the free version is fine if you have a good eye for (web) design & color but in her case not so much. It's as tacky as a teenager's myspace page.

They posted personal information,
including my real name, address, phone number, political donations, etc on
conservative forums in a threatening manner. They called me "a target" on
Twitter.
Actually Daily Kos posted the personal info 1st.
-
Learn to conserve words, DUmmie, next time just post "Waaaaa!" We all will know what you mean.
-
Actually Daily Kos posted the personal info 1st.
Oh my.

Actually Daily Kos posted the personal info 1st.
That's what DUmmies call an inconvenient truth, it is much easier to blame the right-wing than acknowledge the truth.

It would be great if you would just shut your penis holster and fade away.

The left can sure dish it out but they can't take it. I'm glad to see conservatives and republicans finally giving it right back to the loony left.

The Left boycotts everything except handouts and crazy enviro wack jobs. ::)
-
Any bets on if scarebaby uses union labor for the T shirts or the printing?
And BTW, Rush says "SUck a nice wet shiny turd out of his asshole." or something to that effect.
-
Boycott is sexist, just like Hurricane, because it sounds like her. A little liberal logic. Very little.

Real numbers, or the ones demonrats typically pull out of their asses.

"a White House-generated response" and "ignorant". (1)
Did he "lie"? So far, all you've done is reinforce his argument.
After I protested on Twitter and in Democratic Underground that, in fact, I am
a real person with a real business, Mr. Limbaugh called me "an idiot" and
tried to imply that the name of my business, Scarebaby, had something to do
with "terrorizing babies in the womb." (2)
Reading (or listening for that matter) for comprehension is/has never been a DUmmie strong suit. The fact you post on DU is proof positive you are indeed "an idiot".
A few clicks of the mouse would have revealed that I am a real person, my
business is real, and the name Scarebaby has nothing to do with pregnancy, but
rather is a fond reference to the movie "It's a Wonderful Life".
The reference you refer to in "It's A Wonderful Life" is "scaredybaby", not "scarebaby", DUmbass! Besides, just where in the hell do you get off naming your business after a reference from a movie staring a REPUBLICAN B-17 bomber pilot, with references to "God", "Joseph", "angels", and all things Christmas?
Meanwhile, some of his listeners began tweeting that I was a liar, a fraud,
stupid, and other choice hate comments. They posted personal information,
including my real name, address, phone number, political donations, etc on
conservative forums in a threatening manner. They called me "a target" on
Twitter.
Bet you can't quote a single one of them that called you a "target". BTW, you ARE an idiot, liar, fraud, stupid, etc. Truth hurts sometimes.
It would be great if I could make anti-Limbaugh tshirts. It would be great if
I could sue him for slander, for spreading malicious lies, and for inciting
others to acts of hate.
Nothing to stop you from doing that now. It's not like Zero and company haven't tried it already.
But I am bound by the law of the land. I'm not allowed to use his name or
image for profit. I'm not allowed to sue for defamation, slander or libel,
because he considers himself an 'entertainer'.
Yeah, right! :lmao:
I am also bound by something alien to Mr. Limbaugh: the law of common decency.
You wouldn't know decency, common or otherwise, if it were a boll attached to your ass!
All I can do is demand an apology and a correction from him.
You can "demand" all you want. He owes you nothing, simply because you "got your feelings hurt", "were offended", or whatever. If you were "offended", here's how to cope. GET THE HELL OVER IT!!!!
If you agree that Rush Limbaugh owes me an apology, and needs to stop his
campaign of spreading hate through lies, then please repost and link to this
piece wherever you can.
I don't, and if you were REALLY serious, you would have posted this somewhere with more than 5 active posters with more than 3 active brain cells between them.
Thank you.
**** off! :evilbird:

Your "understanding" doesn't count for shit. Maybe you should contact someone with real understanding, like the IRS, and see what they have to say about it.

Response to whiny bitch:
Daily Kos published your name, KPete at the DUmp posted your name.
I googled it and came up with a whole bunch of info on you.
If you're stupid enough to put your name on the internet, there are people smart enough to find it.

I hate to point out but in this case Rush is wrong. Schedule SE is the FICA and medicare form for the self employed. The equation to determine the combined tax is multiply the net profit from business (usually sched C) by .9235 then multiply that by .153 for the tax. For 2011 the multiplier is .133 or a 2% savings.
What the DUches should be talking about is how the funding for Social Security is gong to be $150 billion less for BOTH 2011 and 2012. Of course, 0bama has had it in for SS because blacks median age is lower and do not get as much. 2011 was the first time that outflows were above inflows. This was not to have happened until 2022 by CBO and in 2090 by demokrat party propaganda.
0bama will be the president to kill SS. Another HISTORIC first for our inexperienced young black president!!!!

Took the words right outa my mouth Feerless Freep! I spend 40 dollars a day around here, and I'm goin' to have to join the "NFL", which stands for "not for long", if we don't get this idiot outa the White House!

It would be great if you would just shut your penis holster and fade away.
Like this twerp could afford to take on Rush! Haha, it is to laugh! I'll bet what his dog leaves in the yard is worth more than this puke!
One other thing. Would you buy somethin' from a bussiness named "ScareBaby"? Gee, I wonder why her monthly operating budget is just $40?
