FCC Should Clear Limbaugh Fom Airwaves By Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan and Gloria Steinem, Special to CNN March 10, 2012
Limbaugh has long history of hate speech. FCC should ask: Are stations carrying him are acting "in public interest," writers say.
Editor's note: Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem are the Co-Founders of the Women's Media Center.
(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: --Women cabinet members are "Sex-retaries." --"The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies." --The National Organization for Women is "a bunch of whores to liberalism." --[Said to an African American female caller]: "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back."
These are just a few samples from the arsenal of degrading language Limbaugh deploys on women, people of color, lesbians and gays, immigrants, the disabled, the elderly, Muslims, Jews, veterans, environmentalists and so forth.
Jane Fonda 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 norms.
Robin Morgan
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....

Didn’t the Femi-Nazis try to do this several years ago? My guess is that they’ll be just as successful this time around.
Bunch of no-brain has beens trying to resurrect their nothing legacies. Jealousy seems to have no bounds.
Fluke story? still?
eh.....
Nice try media- But you don’t have that kind of power any more
... and you are starting to know it
Now that they finished that essay, they can go back to taking care of all their cats.
We’ll know the USSA is a done deal when they force Rush off the air. Gangster Govt, and all that.
The only thing Limbaugh is guilty of is telling the truth and is driving the liberal moon bats nuts.
Bunch’a NAGs.
“Jane Fonda”
Hanoi Jane, you brainless, stinking whore. Go back to North Viet Nam, where you belong. This time, stay there.
Rush is mean to innocent little girls!
Bunch of no-brain has beens trying to resurrect their nothing legacies.
To us Vietnam Vets and many others, Jane Fonda will never have to resurrect her legacy.
That -itch will never be forgotten.
Well, their attempt to shut down Rush by intimidating his advertisers into dropping him has been an abject failure. And since they can’t win this battle in the free market, they’re crying to the govn’t for help.
Open letter to Hanoi Jane and Gloria...
I give women 100% of the respect they deserve. As for you two, shut up and go make me a sammich.
That’s all the respect YOU deserve.
If Jane Fonda says so, who are we to argue. I want her as the arbiter of what is acceptable.

Hanoi Jane directs Viet Cong shelling of US soldiers.
It’s time for the public to take back our broadcast resources. Limbaugh has had decades to fix his show. Now it’s up to us....................................... YUP, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TURN THE ON KNOB TO THE LEFT. Done deal Dingbats!.
