Stop the Limbaugh - Maher comparisons NOW.

There's absolutely no reason for these. Maher is on a paid cable network that no one is twisting your arm to subscribe to. He got dropped from ABC once over comments he made. Limbaugh on the other hand is on free radio with a huge audience and a wide sponsorship base. He is also on Armed Forces Network. Maher isn't. Don't you think anyone who speaks to our troops on a daily basis should be held to a higher standard than someone on a paid-for cable network? Say what you want.
Oh! I get it now!
It's not what you say, it's where you say it that's the real issue.
If only Rush had been on satellite radio he could have called Fluke a dirty, scuzzy, cum-guzzling gutter whore too skanky to appear in Mexican donkey pr0n and the left would have been totally OK with that.
It's just that he popped-off on AM.
So, you see, it's not really about women or perceived misogyny...
...it's about what you can listen to for free.
Aren't you ladies glad the liberals have your back?

Their concern for the troops certainly is refreshing, don't you think?

I'm sorry, but after carefully evaluating your position in the food chain in relation to me, you are in no position to order me to do anything at all.

8. Definitely a big difference: Limbaugh uses public airwaves
Maher doesn't.
Here's what strikes me as incredibly hypocritical about this: Obama's policy requiring insurance cos to cover birth control does NOT use "public" money for this coverage. These are private corporations.(that may have moral objections to birth control in that form) Furthermore, women who purchase that coverage do so via their employers or other means -- and are doing so with THEIR money, not the public's money.
In contrast, we have to be subjected to the blazing ignorance and insulting hatred of Limbaugh on PUBLIC airwaves (am radio) funded by PUBLIC money ie: taxpayersWhere does the public pay for the broadcast of Limbaughs show. A radio station is privatly owned, pays a fee to the FCC for the right to broadcast on a specific frequency, is requred to broadcast emergency information if needed on beheast of the government (not an issue, seems very reasonable), but Bill Maher is carried on cable systems often subsidised by local govt by granting them a monopoly . So while he's lambasting Ms. Fluke for something she isn't even asking for and that Obama in fact did not mandate That is true, the health care bill did., he's doing that very same thing HIMSELF ie: the public is paying him to verbally masturbate himself on public airwaves. And he certainly thinks THAT is OK.
This is the height of both ignorance and hypocrisy. So, yes this is a HUGE difference.

OK, so here's a question:
Which do the primitives twist more to their advantage when it suits them, Jesus (and/or the Bible, or God as a whole), or the Armed Forces?
You sons-of-bitches don't care one iota about either of them, unless you think it somehow helps to further your agenda on a subject.
FOAD, primitives, FOAD.

FIFY From reading DU, I get the impression that their ultimate sacred cow that is never to be touched is abortion.

I agree that minorities and gheys are one of their sacred cows, but they never throw either of those groups under the bus.
But, the primitives hate Jesus and the Armed Forces. That's why Jesus and the Armed Forces spend an inordinate amount of time living under the bus, and are only trotted out under certain circumstances, when the primitives believe they can twist something to their advantage.

Why? Truth getting a little to hot for ya. :fuelfire:
There's absolutely no reason for these. Maher is on a paid cable network that no one is twisting your arm to subscribe to.
True. You actually HAVE to spend money to get the priviledge of "watching" Moron Maher.
He got dropped from ABC once over comments he made.
So he opted for the smaller audience on a subscription TV service so his small mind could work unimpeded.
Limbaugh on the other hand is on free radio with a huge audience and a wide sponsorship base.
Are you implying Rush is more successful that Bill Maher? Say it ain't so! BTW, you can opt out of listening to Rush quite easily. I think a lot of the former potential Air America listeners did the same. They changed the channel, or turn off their radios.
He is also on Armed Forces Network.
For 1 hour a day. The troops requested Rush, he wasn't forced on them. He's a breath of fresh air in the middle of a day's worth of CNN, NPR, and the rest of AFN's programming's acrid stench.
Maher isn't.
THERE IS A GOD!!!!
Don't you think anyone who speaks to our troops on a daily basis should be held to a higher standard than someone on a paid-for cable network?
I think anyone who was requested by our troops to listen to on a daily basis instead of someone on a paid-for cable network with a single-digit IQ and a schoolyard bully's mouth is OK by be.
Say what you want.
So long as it agrees with the DUmmies.

Remember, they're supposedly offended about how Rush views women. You little ladies need them to stick-up for you:

18. This is easy. Bill Maher is funny (laugh with)...Rush Limbaugh is funny (laugh at).
Lest you think I am just being facetious (and I am being a little facetious) it makes a difference. A jokey slur is worth a slap on the wrist, an all out vicious attack is really different.
The good news? Nobody but the rebublican base cares what Maher said.....everyone else who can hear or read cares about Sandra Fluke and they don't like Rush or the people he represents!

21. Please realize there is no reasoning with these people
They hate Maher and consider him as bad as Limbaugh. They're way off base, but that's an argument grounded in logic, not emotional outbursts.
Let me add that there is a difference between supporting Limbaugh and merely calling for us to stick a fork in it.
But our "friends" here don't use logic or reason. Only knee jerk sentiment and panic.

29. Why does he need to be "as bad as" Limbaugh to be condemned?
Imus wasn't "as bad as" David Duke but I sure as **** could call him a racist.
It's interesting that you find consistency "unreasonable" though.

27. Has Maher lied about the statements of a young person like Sandra Fluke?
Limbaugh's joking and offensive choice of language to describe Sandra Fluke that should result in his being fired. It was the fact that he lied when he said that Sandra Fluke had testified that she was having sex so much. She never mentioned her sex life during her testimony to Congress.
Maher sometimes says offensive things, but I am unaware that he lied in such an ugly but obvious way and did not apologize for it.
If you know of any instance in which Maher lied that way, please let all of us on DU know.
Limbaugh lied when he claimed to be quoting Sandra Fluke: She says were his words. She did not say what he said she said. That's not a joke. That is a lie that has not been retracted.
I bet this dipwad hates Saturday Night Live when they portray people in unfavorable light with fictitous dialogue.
So apparently their outrage has nothing to do with women as a group.
Still, you gals should be on your knees "thanking" your knights in government subsidzed shining armor.
