Rush's Disdain for Humanity is Showing Again
Offender: Rush Limbaugh on the Rush Limbaugh Radio Show
Media Outlet: Aired on radio stations nationwide 2/25/10 - syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks, a subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications
The Offense: To illustrate the need for health care reform, Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) told the story of a woman who wore dentures that had belonged to her late sister. Rush Limbaugh called it the "sob story of the day" and joked, "what's wrong with using a dead person's teeth? Aren't the Democrats big into recycling? . . . So if you don't have any teeth, so what? What's applesauce for? Isn't that why they make applesauce?"
NOW's Analysis: Other conservative media outlets also made light of this story, but Rush, not surprisingly, wins the award for lack of sensitivity. It doesn't matter to Rush that this woman (and people like her) could be in his audience. Or that people really are suffering in this country because they can't afford decent health care. Rush is a lost cause, but maybe his listeners should pause for a moment to consider whether their hero really cares about anyone other than himself.
Conservatives like Rush will do anything to block health care reform, including misinforming the public and mocking real people who are struggling under our current system. The fact that such a contemptuous man is still on the air is a sad commentary on the state of radio in the U.S.

HAGS
Many of the ladies at NOW look as if they are wearing parts that came off of somebody else.
Now’s crying just makes Rush’s comments more hilarious.
Liberals have no sense of humor....and are no one to judge for disdain of humanity. Libs Disdain for humanity is well documented......Rush was using something called humor NOW people.....the nags will never understand.
I am a woman, I don’t think I’ve agreed on anything with them lately. They stopped representing women a long time ago.
At the risk of being crass...the NOW hags probably use their dead sister’s vibrators.
Feminazis.....
ah, why are they using teeth for an example - no dental care in the health bill
NAGs
National Assn. of Gals
NAG NAG NAG! Go shave your armpits honey!
Making fun of Palin and her family is A-OK though...
The abortionist ghouls have no right to speak about “humanity”
I am sure it has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with how NOW is a libtard fem. outlet and they are about as defunct as the libtard lamestream media....absolutely nothing at all.....
Correction: The National Organization for [ANGRY, UGLY] Women
“why are they using teeth for an example - no dental care in the health bill”
EXCELLENT point!
These folks don’t even have the sense to realize that what Rush joked about is a moot point BECAUSE the ‘healthcare reform’ bill is a SHAM in the first place.
