But don’t worry, their demands to purge the airways of Rush “isn’t political.”
FCC should clear Limbaugh from airwaves — Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem/CNN
Ironically, the misogyny Rush Limbaugh spewed for three days over Sandra Fluke was not much worse than his regular broadcast of sexist, racist and homophobic hate speech:
Limbaugh doesn’t just call people names. He promotes language that deliberately dehumanizes his targets. Like the sophisticated propagandist Josef Goebbels, he creates rhetorical frames — and the bigger the lie the more effective — inciting listeners to view people they disagree with as sub-humans. His longtime favorite term for women, “femi-nazi,” doesn’t even raise eyebrows anymore, an example of how rhetoric spreads when unchallenged by coarsened cultural norm.
At least this most recent incident has turned a spotlight back on the vile, damaging statements Limbaugh has been promulgating for years. His sponsors are dropping him; his stations have begun to follow suit. VoteVets, a coalition of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, released a statement by female vets, including Katherine Scheirman, former chief of medical operations in the U.S. Air Forces, demanding that the American Forces Network drop Limbaugh from its programming. [...]
This isn’t political. While we disagree with Limbaugh’s politics, what’s at stake is the fallout of a society tolerating toxic, hate-inciting speech. For 20 years, Limbaugh has hidden behind the First Amendment, or else claimed he’s really “doing humor” or “entertainment.” He is indeed constitutionally entitled to his opinions, but he is not constitutionally entitled to the people’s airways.
The FCC takes such complaints into consideration when stations file for license renewal. For local listeners near a station that carries Limbaugh’s show, there is plenty of evidence to bring to the FCC that their station isn’t carrying out its public interest obligation. Complaints can be registered under the broadcast category of the FCC website: http://www.fcc.gov/complaints

Both of these lefty dinos traded Vaseline for Poli-Grip in the 20th century.
Steinem, Fonda and Allred...the Witches of Eastwick.
All in their seventies and all irrelevant. Can someone please explain to them how long fifteen minutes are? Please!
ANy one not notice that these femi-nazis demoralize women who want children and do not want to be fed pill hormones like whores or cattles?
I think, like Pelosi, they make good advertisement for blow up dolls, err... I mean plastic surgery industry for child and woman hating demoralized hacks who want all the girls to want “what women want” type liberal plantation.

The hijab is coming their way in a neighborhood soon.
There is no difference between these hags and the Iranian witches under the hijab who attack women in bikinis.
No matter how expensive it is to advertise on his show (and I’m sure it is, he makes over $100M/yr., personally!) I have to think you’d get your money back ten or even a hundred fold in no time!
Rush’s sin is to make the word slut ugly, just at a moment when the View was making it look good taking its cue from the Vagina monolgue.
You know, it hurts when communists tell you it is OK to be a slut and then reality hits you like a runaway freight train.
Rush was only there protecting them from the world reality that they are sluttish and are making fool of themselves in the face of world opinion.
Too bad they want the FCC to shut their sole hope of saving face. What a farce.
Sick and tired of those two old s..ts already.
Old SLUTS unite to waste our time.
Fonda always has had a thing for communism. The First Amendment and the Bill of Rights are a real pain in the @$$ to maggots like her. She would have made an outstanding Nazi during WWII.
we need to start calling for the banning of the lib-tards from the airwaves due to their insulting and inflaming remarks
we should also push boycotts on all corporations that advertise on progressive stations and shows
take a page out of their book and make them eat it
there are far more of us then them. make it hurt.
Obviously, these so called "votevets" maggots didn't serve in the military for the same reasons REAL VETS serve in the military. They are probably unfamiliar with the Bill or Rights too.
These haggardly, old, bitter and crusty 'women' were young and cute and chased by horny young men who thought they were HOT and DIDN'T CARE what came out of their mouths as long as their legs were open.
YOU MEN made them think that their s...t didn't stink and so they thought they were something special. Being female I ALWAYS knew they were assholes.
Now they are just OLD, haggardly, bitter and crusty assholes. Men their age are, SOMETIMES, just as haggardly, bitter and crusty. They don't HAVE to be assholes. It's their politics...always WAS their politics; always will be.
