They are right that Limbaugh’s remarks are not comparable to Maher’s remarks.
Limbaugh was responding directly to Fluke’s political discourse by pointing out that the logical conclusion of her testimony before Congress was that she was asking the government to pay her for having sex. He should not have used the ‘s’ and ‘w’ words as part of civil discourse, which he has admitted and apologized for, but he was making the point of how ridiculous it was for someone to ask the government to pay the costs of their private recreational activity.
The vile language that Maher has used to describe Sara Palin and other conservative women has no cogent political argument behind it. It is simply intended to denigrate. And after many years, Maher has never apologized for his language.
So there really is no comparison between Maher and Limbaugh. Limbaugh is a satirist that strayed too far into hyperbole and immediately apologized for it. Maher is an unrepentant humorless mysoginist who never had a political point to make and who has never apologized for his vulgar slurs.
Besides, as Rush likes to point out: he’s not the de facto leader, he’s the titular head.
Wow.
I will say it again: Liberalism is a mental disease.
Pretty much what I expected this punk to say. Burton strikes me as a 1st class a-hole.
Oh no! Of course not.
Why, because he is a liberal and a bigmouth?
In that case, Rush ought to go on air and call Sandra Fucke a “cu*t” and not a slut. That solves that problem now, doesn’t it?
So Fluke wants us to pay for her sexual activity. Well, I’ve decided to replace sex with traveling around the world. Should the government now have to pay for my trips...somethat that I deem a pleasurable activity???
Oh what unmitigated political demagogery!
Both Maher and Limbaugh have the same job description: Entertainer.
The simple truth is Burton won't condemn Maher because he likes what he says, no matter how crude and obnoxious. In other words, Burton agrees with Maher.
While I listen to Rush, I never voted for him. When did he run? What election did we go through to make Rush head of the party? Fill me in Burton...
So, now Rush is NOT “just an entertainer” as libs often describe him, but is NOW an official political commentator.
So “twat” is not as bad? This Rush vs the slut thing will turn out to be another gift from the hapless left. They will overplay their hand as they usually do and it will end up being a plus for us.
Sara Palin and Michelle Bachmann are honorable ladies.
Sandra Fluke is just a functionary of the Democrat Party and a promiscuous slut.
Bill Maher is an atheistic, socialist ass whose only claim to fame was when he played the title roll in the infamous movie ‘Bill Clinton’s Talking Penis.’
ShePAC’s brutal takedown of Obama and Bill Maher

Funny since guys like Bill Maher and John Stewart function as leaders and opinion makers on their side. It’s weaselly to say they’re just “comedians”.
And of course Rush, who is just an “entertainer” when it’s convenient, is now the leader of the Republican party. How convenient.
But the Dems are obviously feeling some pressure over being called on their hypocrisy. They’re spending a lot of energy deflecting.
So Bill, what would you and the other dregs of humanity on the left be saying if a prominent radio talk show referred to female members of your family as sluts, tw@ts and c.nts?
