Title: Rush says he is sorry

Quote
“For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week.  In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke.
I think it is absolutely absurd that during these very serious political times, we are discussing personal sexual recreational activities before members of Congress. I personally do not agree that American citizens should pay for these social activities. What happened to personal responsibility and accountability? Where do we draw the line? If this is accepted as the norm, what will follow? Will we be debating if taxpayers should pay for new sneakers for all students that are interested in running to keep fit?In my monologue, I posited that it is not our business whatsoever to know what is going on in anyone’s bedroom nor do I think it is a topic that should reach a Presidential level.
My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices.”

Me neither. Testifying before Congress about sexuality is rather sluty. I would think that Congress has more important things to do than listen to someone that is complaining about how much it cost for birth control pills. However, most of these critters whore themselves out on a regular basis

I imagine that Rush figured that the media was going to hound every republican candidate/officeholder asking them to denounce him from now until election day.  When will they start talking about Obama?  I can't wait for Breitbart's Obama videos.

FR is going nuts. They now hate Rush. FR has jumped the shark.

Edited to add: Actually they jumped the shark a long time ago. They are officially the other side of the DU coin.

This is yet another instance where I and Mrs E don't see things the same way.

While I think the apology wasn't necessary, apparently Rush's advertisers were displeased to some level. Nothing talks like money. So Rush did what he had to do.

It's pretty apparent that Fluke is not much more than yet another activist with a cross to bear. She'll grow up one day to be a lobbyist and fit right in the shithole known as D.C.  :whatever:

I don't think he should have apologized, and I think his show could use a few less advertisers anyway.  I do enjoy his take on politics but seems like there's almost as much air time devoted to selling stuff as there is to Rush talking.  

The only apology he should have issued should've been along the lines of I regret if any of you were offended by my referring to Ms. Fluke as a slut, when she's clearly so much more than that :-)

However, I'm still a Rush fan, as probably all of us who listen to him remain.

DUmmies will demand French Ticklers and then settle for ribbed condoms.

Liberals always ask for more than they could possibly get then settle for less which is what they wanted to start with....then they come back for more later.

WTF-----This apology shit is nuts. When does an apology free anyone from their actions and when did an apology have any meaning behind it.

We see it ever day in a court trial where a found guilty person does not apologies to the family for rape and murder. 
Seems an apology is more important then the act of murder. 

Why is an apology necessary to the victims, does this make their loss any less.?? Does an apology change things in any way except for the no do gooder.?   Damn they said they were sorry they killed a child and they did apologise.

Damn Obama had the nerve to apologise for a military action that destroyed books of the enemy.  He sided with our enemy, WTF.

Do we now apologise to the Indian nations for usurping land they claimed as their own???  A sincere apology would be to give Manhattan back to the Indians for $25.00 worth of beads.

 Then charge them for the improvements made to their land.    We apologise to them and give them back their land but charge them 200 billion in improvements.   

Rush had no reason to apologise for calling things as he saw them, his right to speak out in America.

Obama had no reason to apologise for  destroying papers and books used to undermine our country's security.

Put Obama in the seat of FDR , did he, FDR  apologise for any steps we took to defend ourselves.   Did Truman ever weep and wail over dropping the bomb????

This apology stuff is nuts, I will not apologise to the family of a serial killer I shot in my home, what good does it do for me for them to apologise for the actions of a family member.  How about me, should I have allowed someone to kill my family and then feel sorry and apologise for my actions???

Rush has sold us out for money and carear to bend to advertisers demands.

Same as that talk show Host that got Oprah in a snit by calling some girls Nappy haired.   Oprah's productions was named Nappy Haired Productions, but this Host was a white man, how dare he use a term only blacks could use.

I Will apologize for bumping into someone in a store, spilling coffee on them or stepping on their foot. 

The old "Say I am sorry I hurt your feelings"   Said something mean or slept with someones husband or stole your car.   You are mean to not forgive me, I apologises, my consciences is now clear and now you HAVE to forgive me or you are the bad person.

Shit, my respect for Rush has hit bottom, he is no different then Obama, rule in life for respect, never explain or apologise.   Walk the walk and talk the talk at your own risk, an apology from others is not worth the paper it is not written on. 

Sorry Rush gave in and gave up his right to speak out as an American.  Like it or not, he has the right so far to voice his openions same as the REV. WRIGHT, we may not like the openion but this is America , to apologise is to admit a mistake, so when is speaking ones mind a mistake unless one is missinformed??

If this was about money like the left is saying it is Rush would have gotten more if they fired him then if he apologized after losing advertisers. All he did was put this out  just to show them that he is better then they are and to keep this from going further. The fact is Fluke is/was a plant and that no one should have to pay for her so called activities. The left has tried to take Rush and others off the air for yeas and I wouldn't doubt for a minute that this was their idea of getting him or someone else to do just what Rush did only to use it against them.

I actually emailed Mr Limbaugh, and saluted him on what he said. I even told him NOT to apologize. If the shoe was on the other foot, do you think they would aplogize?? HELL NO!!! He calls a spade a spade a spade and got slammed...

He didn't owe anyone an apology. It's really bothering me that he did. And even with the apology, advertisers and radio stations (well, one station so far) are bailing. So what good did the apology do?

So annoyed by all of this.

And by the way, Sandra Fluke is a slut.

Rush is a capitalist.

He doesn't want to lose any sponsors if he can help it.

I also wonder if the management at Clear channel "asked" him to.

Compelling article:

Quote

By Erick Erickson

Last week, Rush Limbaugh suggested Sandra Fluke was a slut. The left immediately began calling for boycotts of his advertisers. He apologized on Saturday. Fluke refused to accept his apology claiming he did it under duress and the pressure has kept up.

It is organized and it has nothing to do with Limbaugh referring to Sandra Fluke as the same thing Ed Schultz referred to Laura Ingraham as. It has to do with a well executed PR strategy to frame a debate on mandating Americans subsidize the sexual habits of women as a war on women by the GOP. The media, which leans left already on social issues, would much rather focus on Rush Limbaugh than on the left’s PR strategy and Sandra Fluke’s own testimony.

What is happening here is an organized campaign by the left to shut down opposing views from the right. Much of this has to do with the right’s overall success in the past several decades. As more Americans consider themselves pro-life, even California constitutionally banned gay marriage, and most Americans agree with the right on mandates and global warming, the left has resorted to a new tactic — dialing up the outrage to shut up the right.

Many on the left and right, myself included, have said things we should not have said. The difference is that the left seizes on the statements made by the right as excuses to demand they never be heard from again and are unqualified to speak on any topic. They harass advertisers. They harass networks. They harass the conservative who said what it was as well. Any unforced error is seized to shut down the right in a way that does not apply to the left. If at first they are not successful, they will work to compound the story, manufacture outrage, and seize on statements and twist words to build a case against the conservative in question that they should be shut up and turned off.

Rarely do people on the right operate in the same aggressive way against the left.

Here's the rest. (http://www.redstate.com/erick/2012/03/06/silencing-the-right/)
