Same thing with any politician, left or right, who states that an obese person is a "fat hedonist." An obese person is surely that by definition, as much as a promiscuous woman is a "slut" by definition.
A promiscuous woman can certainly be called a "slut," and the word accurately describes her. An obese person can certainly be called a "fat hedonist," and the term accurately describes that person.
But how smart would it be for you, me, a medical doctor, or ANYONE ELSE to use the term "fat hedonist" to describe an obese person with whom they have a dispute of opinion? About as smart as a political figure like Rush calling a promiscuous woman in the opposing political party a "slut."
Please humor me and post as close as you can the exact way the word "slut" came about during Rush's broadcast.
You seem to be so hung up on that word, and my point is he could have used it or not, could have used another, or not, but just the fact the he made a commentary about it was going to generate publicity for Fluke. End of story.
That's what liberals do - they do everything in their power to shut up their opposition. Are you suggesting we give in to it?
