"I descended to [the left's] level when I used those two words to describe Sandra Fluke," Limbaugh said. "I've always tried to maintain a very high degree of integrity and independence on this program. Nevertheless, those two words were inappropriate. They were uncalled for. They distracted from the point that I was actually trying to make, and I again sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for using those two words to describe her. I do not think she is either of those two words. I did not think last week that she is either of those two words."

quote:

He added: "It was way beneath me, and way beneath you. I was wrong. I genuinely apologize."

Limbaugh claimed he was not forced into issuing an apology to Fluke, despite calls from prominent conservatives—including House Speaker John Boehner and GOP candidates Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum—to do so, as advertisers of his show fled in droves.

"The apology was sincere and heartfelt ... pure, simple, heartfelt," he said. "All the theories, all the experts are wrong."

Limbaugh's comments came a day after a seventh advertiser, ProFlowers.com, pulled its advertising from his radio show, following Quicken Loans, Sleep Train, Sleep Number, Citrix Systems Inc., Carbonite and LegalZoom. An eighth, AOL, announced on Monday that it would stop advertising, too.

Unlike Rush, I served with Company P, 75th Army Rangers in Quang Tri Province, Republic of South Vietnam 1970-1971. Rush "served" as a Pittsburg Radio DJ under the stage name "Jeff Christie".

Unlike Rush, I didn't use a pimple on my butt to get a draft deferment to avoid serving my country. I enlisted in the U.S. Army.

Be prepared, if you haven't yet encountered it yet, for the latest "excuse" justifying Rush "Gutless Coward"* Limbaugh's latest verbal diarrhea:

"I was just doing what the Leftists do"

Why that's almost... Heretical.

FD You served in a combat setting. How would you have felt about listening to one of your own countrymen dissecting the President and other high officials. I mean SURE there are things we and they need to deal with BACK HERE. But the psychological effect of discreditation of the government or country whom a soldier is serving is pretty widely documented at this point.
A mere pat on the ass is insufficient in my book.

From what I have been told, Right-Wing commentators were not aired over the Armed Forces Radio and Television until Operation Desert Storm (President "Daddy" Bush's war).

(BTW: No one ever called me a "baby-killer" or spit on me when I returned from Vietnam.)

quote:

In 1972, I was in the Army in Germany finishing my enlistment, and the senior Air Force General in Europe tried to prevent the Armed Forces Radio from broadcasting the Watergate hearings, claiming if the military heard the hearings, we would become "disloyal" and we would all vote against "Tricky Dick" Nixon in the 1972 Presidential election. He was overruled by the Army General who was the overall NATO Commander.

Well if you`re not a complete bullshit artist.....you`ll show us some examples of "the left" saying such horrible things too......


There must be plenty of examples so it should be a no-brainer.


We`ll wait.....
