Thanks. We'll email you the next time we update this story.
Word had it he had been married 4 times. At least that is what someone else on another blog stated. He's also been hooked on drugs and had to go to rehab for that.
This means he went to the Dominican Republic for sex and lots of it. Is he a patron of the skin trade ? He couldn't get laid here, he had to leave the US and why ?
4 marriages & 3 divorces with records sealed ? hmmmm..doesn't seem very family values-ish to me. Maybe he likes wedding cake and tuxedos. whadda think ?
Can you imagine how boring this thread would be if the editor at the plainfield patch kept deleting comments and entire accounts simply because she disagreed with them?
Free Speech can be both ugly and beautiful at the same time, when ideas(poor or great) are allowed to flow like they do here.
It's too bad people can't handle the truth or know the truth when they hear it. If one would just take the time to listen to his whole show and not just the snippets one hear from a piece that has been edited for journalistic purposes one might understand what is really going on in the world.
You know, there are fact checkers out there and his show is just a touch under 100% accurate.
Yes Dorothy, Rush Limbaugh I believe is still married to a much younger woman.....As a moderate Republican, I have never been in favor of Rush's far right-winged stance. However, when he is not just trying to up his ratings on the air, he can have some valid points as do most everyone who really cares about America. It's the coming together of the minds that perpetrate good sense and without logical compromise nothing ever gets done correctly. As I see it,one of the biggest problems with America today is too many people are out for themselves. There is little teamwork and when things go wrong no one wants to take responsibility for their actions.
This great nation of ours could be so much more if it wasn't for the greed for power and wealth. Now don't get me wrong! I see nothing wrong with getting ahead and being all you can be, after all that's what made America great, but helping those that truly need a hand up is our responsibility. "I still like the idea of giving a fish to a hungry person while teaching them to fish and if they are able to fish but chose not to fish then let them fend for themselves."
When the Desecrates have a good idea and the Republicans have an idea that is good why is it not in the best interests of the American people for them to come together and use the best parts of both ideas to generate a GREAT idea. Isn't that how our from of Government is suppose to work, or don't the Grade School Teachers and Collage Professors teach that anymore.
Hey does anybody rmember what the Clinton gang called Paula Jones, and all the other ladies that were violated by Clinton. It was a mass smear oagainst women who report assults, yet the media took sides with Clinton and destroyed these peoples lives. Defend that libs. You can't your all insane and suffer from mental illness called liberalism, repropates. Good is evil, evil is good.Your all morons.
Looks like Rush's advertisers and sponsors are dropping him like there's no tomorrow.
Who wants to lose business in a tough economy. Some advertisers ripped Rush a new one besides suspending their advertising. OUCH ! this one's not going to blow over. If Tawanda were a betting person, I think she would bet Rush will not be in front of a mic tomorrow....<yippie>
@David McLean:
This is not about politics or cons vs libs. It's about a verbal assault and battering of a private citizen done for pure spite and entertainment in retaliation for this private citizen refusing to aquiesce or submit to the will of another.
I hope she sues the ever-living ^%$# out of him, in addition to having him fired.
@Dave McLean's definition of a slut:
" difinition of slut is A person especially a woman,considered sexually promiscuous.an inmoral woman,"
and the definition of "inmoral woman " is any woman who won't have sex with you.
and the definition of a " woman,considered sexually promiscuous " is a woman who won't have sex with you.
why are you such a busybody ?
your spelling is atrocious, BTW
Yeah Rush had new sponsors today at 40K per minute for a commercial, looks like Rush is still in business, in fact today seem to be more commercials than usual. Rush listeners reach 170 million per month. CNN has 27000 viewers per day poor Rush has only 8, 000,000 per day, HA HA HA! Liberals don't even like listening to themselves.Would list liberal radio stations but they all went out of business. Hee Hee HA HA! Liberals can't do anything right.
Your cartoon doesn't start at the beginning of this scenario. Where is the cartoon of Ms. Fluke having so much sex that she wants money from others to pay for condoms? Interesting that you make a joke out of the response, but fail to acknowledge the more humorous aspect of this situation of someone who wants money for having sex.
Show me where Sandra even talked about herself in the testimony. You can't she talked about ladies from her school. I can understand why they want their names kept private! Condoms were never even mentioned. Neither was sex. Please educate yourself.
none of this is about anyone trying to take anything away from anybody, nor is it about anyone trying to impose their beliefs upon others.
its about personal health insurance that one would buy for themselves including contraception coverage.
quit forcing your religious and moral beliefs down everyone's throat. if you have personal objections to family planning, don't practice family planning; it's a simple as that, but you and your regressives want to impose your narrow mindedness upon the rest of society and that is wrong.
Mr. Ellison, your posts continue to validate your ascension as one of the most ridiculous and ill informed people who post on Patch. Your posts alone could very well be a cartoon for the sheer buffoonery contained with in them and the laughter your written word elicits. It saddens me to know that in your mind you actual believe what you write to be true.
@ Tawanda's earlier post re..treatment of hormone deficiencies and such. At that point it IS a MEDICAL CONDITION and she is covered by even religious organizations health insurance. She wants coverage to be promiscuous and nothing more. Health insurance covers the excuses you bring up..
like his hero Rush, little Davey thinks it's perfectly acceptable to verbally batter and demean women who disagree with him. that makes Davey a loser and a coward.
I work 2 jobs, spend most of my free time with my girls and watch little T.V. so I'm not up to date on this fiasco. Does this woman want birth control covered just so she can have safe sexual relations and wants her insurance company to pay for it, or is it medically necessary? Sorry to have to ask, just trying to figure this one out and there's so many opinions on here.
No, she talked about a friend with cysts on her ovaries. She had medical insurance through the college. Birth control pills were not covered in her plan. She couldn't afford the pills, quit taking them. The cyst got as big as a tennis ball and she lost her ovary and her fertility. She is going though menopause at 32 (?) yo. Ms. Fluke also mentioned a married student who could not afford the pills. Sex was not mentioned one time. Sandra's sex life was not mentioned one time. Here is a transcript
http://abcnews.go.com/images/Politics/statement-Congress-letterhead-2nd%20hearing.pdf
Seriously Patch, this is your lead story? How about leading with something like Maj. Michael M. Hoffman was presented the Bronze Star Medal. Just saying. I can take a joke though….Funny comic even though I lean conservative.
As long as there's Faux News and talking heads like Rush Limbaugh, the conservatives will be handicapped. Let's bring respectability back to the GOP, and give Americans a viable choice for president in the years to come. Too late this year.
As long as Obama has nothing to run on the conservitives will win the presidency,senate, and house. Just ask yourself how better off are you since Obama became Dictator. Your house worth more you got money to burn and all your relatives and friends doing better? Think how rich you were when Bush was President. Now everywhere businesses are closed, food pantries empty. Wheres Obama playing golf. Get your head straight girl.
Hmm...I think it's ironic that an admitted former pill popper is obsessing over The Pill. LOL Of course, I also think it's ironic that there is such an uproar over the sexual activity and birth control of choice of women without any consideration given to the fact that they aren't sexually active alone, but there's no vitriol for their male partners. Typical of these types.
So the Rush Limbaugh worshipper is back. Hey Peteee, we are still waiting for your apology. Your god, Limbaugh, apologized for his nonsense. You supported him on here and still appear to be supporting him. You must have dranked the kool-aid again this morning. Let it wear off, then you can apologize.
Anybody who loves a daughter, sister, or mother knows that you don't call women by that term he used. If you do, you simply don't matter anymore. I've listened to him for years, disagreed with almost every bit of vile that falls from his fat gob, but this is too much. Forcibly retire the fat ****.
Even Don Imus of all people has condemned Rush. The only people defending Rush are those who think it's OK to verbally abuse and slander a woman, who is a private citizen, over a period of 3 days using public airwaves and all because she would not submit to his will.
Any wonder why Rush has been married 4 times, with 3 divorce records sealed ?
Also, don't the same insurance programs cover Viagra? Do people have to be in relationships to get a prescription? Hypocrisy. But that's not a new Republican trait.
I don't need viagra I have a very hot wife, libs like them drill sargent women with no teeth, then there out there chasing men, no wonder. I like women who look like a princess, not 300 lb hefers. Libs your freaks no matter which way you turn.
I think the point is that Viagra is not a contraceptive and does not interfere with the Church's core values. Stay on point Oldeeeeeeee. But thats an old liberal trait. Change the subject.
McLean, I've met your so called wife. Your right, she's not a 300 pound heifer. More like a bull in a china shop. Feel free to come out of the closet any time now. The world has changed, you don't need to keep your chosen sexual preferences to yourself.
Anyone who has a daughter who gets on national TV and demands that OTHERS pay for her condoms needs to realize they have a slut for a daughter. It's not the response that's pathetic, it's the initial request by this young lady that should make people outraged.
This attempt to derail healthcare reform has backfired on the crotch-watching regressives in a very big way. To insult, verbally batter and demean a private citizen to the degree that Rush has done over a 3 day period is reprehensible and shocking, not to mention extreme and sexist. Nothing new with Limbaugh except this time he went too far.
Mike, please stay away from women. Clearly you have some serious conflicts that you need to work through before you can even hope to have a healthy relationship. Nice women do and can enjoy sex and responsible people take precautions to prevent unwanted pregnancies, and that includes married couples.
Maybe your goal is to be a 3X+ loser like Rush ? You are definitely on the right track. Smart women do not bother with men like you and if by chance one should slip thru the radar, they're plopped into the ejection seat of divorce court quickly.
Mr. Ellison - have you actually read the transcripts of Ms. Flukes testimony? NOT ONCE did she say others should pay for her condoms or birth control so she can have more sex. NOT ONCE. She illustrated the need for companies to cover birth control, specifically for medical conditions. Yes, Mr. Ellison, there are REAL MEDICAL CONDITIONS that can be controlled through the use of birth (hormone) control pills. She retold a story of her friend - a lesbian, by the way, therefore no need to worry about unwanted pregnancy - who took BCP to control her ovarian cysts. So, how exactly does testifying about a gay friend who needs to take BCP in order to save her life make Ms. Flukes a slut?
Shhhhhhh! Libs don't like the S word. Use future welfare Queen, or mom with out daddy's, or slippery when wet, or hand me down child, or daddy's girl, or exotic dancer, or call girl, or Obamanite, Miss STD'S, or escort, or Clinton wanna be, or les be friends, or liberal college grad, or liberal lawyer, or eviromentilist hooker, but be sensitive and don't call them a sl#t it's bad for thier business.
@peteee I don't know who ed schultz is but if he was a bad boy, I apologize for his behavior. I have no idea what you are talking about when you said Letterman joked about a minor being raped. Not a Letterman fan, but I will apologize for him. Clinton's non presidential behaviors were atrocious. Does that cover everybody. Apparently you've been holding a grudge for a long time. You can let go now Peteee. All the apologies have been made. Your turn.
@peteee "what hypocracy?...." seriously Peteee. Where do you find the time to do all this research. You must use your employees as your pawns to dig some of this junk up that you spew on a daily, hourly, minute bases. Jonas apologized above. I'll ditto what he said. Let's hear your apology.
peteee, if Ed Shultz and Twana Brawley and Al Sharpton were mouth pieces for me, I would know who they are. I'm aware of Sharpton, but that's about it. Alfozo Rachel???? You sure know a lot of people. Are you a name dropper by trade. STILL WAITING FOR YOUR APOLOGY.
Yeah I listen to Rush today he had new advertisers, at 40K per minute Rush is back in business, in fact today seem to be a lot more commercial breaks than normal. You libs can't destroy the King of Talk Radio, when his listeners in 1 week out number all liberal radio and news channels listeners in a whole month. Yeah you libs suck at everything. Rush has a total of 200 million listeners per month, hee hee hee ha ha ha! Nobody wants to listen to liberals not even liberals.
'Morning Edition' on NPR has 13M listeners a week.
'All Things Considered' on NPR has 12M listeners a week.
Considering ALL of radio has 230M listeners, your claim of '200 million a month' is laughably less than accurate. Considering that just 2 shows on one radio station almost double Rush's listeners, your claims are obviously not based on any facts.
Conservative stalwarts such as John McCain & George Will have publically condemned Rush for his vicious misogynist attack on a private citizen via public airwaves. Meanwhile the rest of the cowards on the right are in total fear of Rush, cowering and trembling at the very sound of his name...and they want to lead America ? Won't happen. They *forgot* that women vote and vote they will. Rush has done more damage to the republican party in 5 days than they have managed to do to themselves in 4 years.
Do you think it is publicly funded because the word 'public' is in the name? Do you think Federal Express is a branch of the government because it has the word federal in its name?
I'm trying really hard not to disparage your logic, but you keep proving over and over again that you do not grasp even the basic facts of what you are talking about. Instead, all I am hearing is you repeating what you heard someone else say on the radio(without bothering to check if they are making you look foolish by repeating it)
Apparently Rush has a lot of people who tune into his radio show but don't listen to him. Obama was elected the last go round, will be re-elected this November. What happen to all those listeners? Must be under 18 and can't vote. Not one of your conservative candidates stand a chance in November. Apparently the reason their are more conservative talk show host then liberal ones, is that the liberals can think for themselves while the conservatives need to be told what to say and do and believe in.
Yeah as we gear for war against Iran your boy is worried about condoms and birth control pills. Go check the news moron, Obama has started a war. Hey when is last time up liberals have done a body count on are brave U.S. troops, funny we don't see any body count in the papers.
Now I understand why conservatives think the way they do. They have this stick with a sharp point on the end. They keep going for the eye and miss. End up with a bunch of holes in their head. Your writings reflect someone with a bunch of holes in their head. Now I feel sorry for you. Hope you get over it and heal soon.
Rush Limbaugh is a bigot and a misogynist ( women hater ) who caters to other bigots and women-haters. He is afraid of women and people of color and feels empowered hiding in a studio behind a mic bloviating his hate, lies and distortions to others who admire him as some kind of surrogate father figure. So who are his male fans ?
lives with or is dependent upon a woman, likely an elderly mother
is afraid of non-whites and people of other religious backgrounds
avoids work and responsibilities prefers to indulge in themselves and their pursuit of recreation and pleasure, on mommy's dime, of course.
has a history of troubled or non-existent relationships women and no male friends.
has a history of troubled relationships with women, including stalking and abuse toward women, likely multiple divorces or short-lived relationships characterized with insecurity and a pathological need to control using violence if needed.
an obsession with pornography and likely heavy drinking.
engages in jedi-like mind tricks such as projection, denial, delusion and fits of rage.
Peetee, Speaking of Ed Schultz, here is how a man apoligizes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1mQS3zxPF4 The reason why there was no controversy around Schultz is because he apologized the next day and tok himself off the air for a week. Something a Republican would never do. As for Letterman, please show me proof that Letterman is a member of the Democratic party. Only right wing talking heads put Letterman in the Democrats, which he is not. Besides, he apologized on the air too.
Your crap about Clinton is just that. He was impeached by the House of Yokels for the Lewinsky affair. Willey's accusations were never proven.
Now, I expect you to post your full name and contact info. By your logic and blind defense of Limbaugh, you are stating that private citizens are fair game to personally smear if you disagree with them. So, give us your full name and contact info, so we can put the shoe on the right foot.
I finally had the time to listen to the statement from Ms. Fluke. Mr. Limbaugh you're a disgrace to the human race. I vote republican most of the time and find your comments to be nothing but a nail in the coffin to the party. I have also learned that one of Mr. Romney's biggest campaign contributors is the owner of the station that employees you, if this is true this is a not good for republicans. Since this entire issue seems to be focused around the act of sex we could surgically take care of the problem for both the sexes. Sew it up and cut it off should suffice. Procreation could proceed in a lab so there's really no need for the act at all. I see this as a win win for us all. While we're at it I don't like the idea of paying taxes alone, it's time the churches start paying their fair share like everyone else. They use the government and state services like the rest of us so time to chip in. Fairs fair.
Bain Capital Peteee. There's a relationship to both of them. Red faced, no reason for that. Just having conversation and exchanging opinions like most adults do. I understand your opinion on not wanting to pay for " birth control". It's the same way I feel about the "tax free" status of the church. I don't want them to have access to any roads, police/fire, military protection, or any other services that I pay for as a tax paying citizen. Why should I give my hard earned money for their free loading church, especially if I don't use or believe in their doctrine.
How about those candidates on the right ? One big stack of smoldering wimps. Only Ron Paul spoke out while the rest peed all over themselves out of fear of Rush Limbaugh, the official head of the GOP and a woman hating bigot.
Tim, Steve and Walt, thank you for your contributions. I'm glad someone has taken the time to research the numbers and knows some of the history behind peteee and McLean's comments. Nightly news shows all stated that Rush is truly feeling the heat. He repeatedly apologized, three times to Ms. Fluke and the general public. In spite of those apologies, he has lost 7 major advertisers to date. He is being hit where it hurts, in the pocket book.
SHUT UP MORON, Rush has all new sponsors at 40K a minute per commercial. No loss, in fact today his commercials were more than usual. You libs cant get 2 bucks a commercial on your shows. HA HA HA HEE HEE HA HA! Nobody wants to listen to morons and lies.
The last time I listened to Rush's radio show was back in the very early 90's..can't recall the exact date..and Rush made racist remarks and mocked people of color.
That was the final straw for me.
Prior to that, realized that he never ever had guests on or presented any sort of counter balance to his rants. That is boring and insults my intelligence.
I do not need to be preached at or wailed upon by some pompous blowhard who is completely full of himself and is negative and hateful toward others.
Anyone remember when he mocked the Chinese president and the Chinese language?
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/01/rush-limbaugh-mocks-chinese-president-hu-jintao/
Rush has also mocked his own listeners and fans, in case you have not noticed. He has come right out and said that you are an idiot for taking him seriously, and yet, you defend him like he is your kin or best friend while he thinks you are an idiot.
please don't view conservatives or the right as being represented by lil pete, davey and mikey....hey hey...are they the new monkeys? (sorry fellows, just having a little fun) I am a conservative and lean right on almost everything. However my party has been hijacked by the sheep who believe the rhetoric spewed by rush and the others as reality. They can not grasp the idea that rush and his ilk are "putting on a show" or a "persona" . Christ on a stick, even rush said his comments were absurd. Ditto heads...full of empty.
Ralph, life is too darn short to not have a little fun. I lean more to the right then left, but these comments made by Rush are way out of line. I'm a parent to girls and can tell you that I would have taken matters into my own hands had he said something like this to anyone of my daughters. The man is a known drug addict and from what I've been told a wife beater which makes him no better then the same people he's beating up on. For crying out loud he was caught with Oxycontin, why wasn't he thrown in jail for this. The man, only because he has a johnson between his legs, is an addict with a God ego who needs serious help. His horse and pony show backfired on the Republican party. You wait and see what happens in November, the coffin has been nailed shut.
Come on Peteee- show me where I have Bashed Rush. I have only provided links to Sandra's testimony to show that she did NOT talk about sex or the fact that she has it.
@David McLean who posted <snipped >

why, are you offering yourself up ? is mommy getting ready to pitch you and your electric guitar out of the basement ?
Pepee, you don't know me and I don't know you so neither of us really has any idea which way the other one leans. Your entitled to your opinions, I'm entitled to mine. What I do find disturbing is your idea that it's okay to hit the girl, did you mean that literally? If you are that stout Republican, that only you can claim, you wouldn't be so defensive of your beliefs. Let the left have their rants, it'll all be over soon. By the way I don't own a T.V., so no HBO.
Well buddy don't blame Pepee a lot of liberal sl#ts like to be smacked around, who are we to say there crazy. It turns them on and their reprodutctive system thats why they need free birth control pills and condoms, you can get them at any grade school free.

You must sit there at night getting ripped out of your mind and posting drivel and nonsense, and your curious fixation on trannys obviously trannys are on your mind a lot and you are projecting your personal disgust onto others who post here while fantasizing in a booze soaked stupor.

Why in the h*ll did she choose a college or university that she KNEW was not going to provide contraceptives?......she should just go down to planned parenthood. it is free and available.
@Dave Mc whatever:
Plan Parenthood makes 4.5 billion a year in profit killing children.
~~~~
you are an ignorant liar. Abortion is the taking of an unborn human life and PP doesn't make 4.5 billion profit a year. You are giving other pro-life people a bad name with your hysteria and outright lies. You really need to log off and take your meds.
$ 3000 over 6 years is about $ 1.37 per day!!!!! Maybe they could cut back on unneccessary texting or give up 1 Starbuckks a day. Why can't they afford $ 1.37 a day?
..and that is none of your business. you are not paying for contraceptives for others to use; they're paying for this themselves in the form of an insurance policy which...are you paying attention...INCLUDES contraceptives. Did you get the part about..THEY pay for their own private iinsurance coverage from THEIR income.
Can you possibly be anymore ignorant?
Why are you rightwing wackos not creating jobs like you promised instead of crotch watching and trying to control personal decisions made by a couple which involves them.
sorry, if they were actually paying for the insurance, there is no problem. it is people who are having insurance paid for by a religious organization,
~~~~
that matter was already settled. the recent hearings were about a proposed bill which was voted down, which would allow employers to reject any part of healthcare reform that they, the employer, might find " morally objectional " . This bill would have had far reaching impact to permit any employer to deny coverage for any reason. Examply: Christian Scientists believe that diet and vitamins will cure just about anything. They could in theory refuse to cover everything except diet and vitamins. Likewise, Jehovahs Witnesses forbid blood transfustions. This would get the JW's a way out of covering transfusions.
You keep on spinning the same nonsense about how your religious freedoms are under attack when in reality you folks are doing the attacking.
Georgetown Law Students are "guaranteed" $ 160K in their first year after graduation from Georgetown Law School. Guess what, when she gets off "tour" and back to her studies (or whatever she does), and graduates, if she graduates, she will be a 1%'er.....Not bad, eh? Maybe their is a reason thshe is painted that way.
The Republican party I remembered believed in higher standards and had the utmost regard for a higher education. When the phrase "sluts like to be smacked around" is used it's nothing more than trailer trash comments. The language used by some on here is immature 11 and 12 year old slang talk. Re-read some of these comments and tell me how educated some of these posters sound, not too bright. If you're going to argue your point at least try a few new choice words, the redundant use of "moron" has worn out it's usefulness. If you read further into these comments voyeurism in the form of words has taken hold of some of these post. One is feeding off the other and it's no longer about contraception but the thrill and excitement that's expelled from the responses.
Shut up you moron! You don't like my expression of liberalism! I'll put you on the list. As a liberal lover. You want to act so educated and civil, the libs are here to destroy you and your home. Keep your mouth shut, this aint a game, understand! Were here to take our country back.
This is about contraception as part of a PURCHASED medical insurance plan, not government over reach or religious freedom.
This is about a radio talk show host using public airwaves to emotionally batter and degrade a woman who would not submit to the will of others and for a period of 3 days.
For this, Rush is on his way out. Couldn't happen to a nicer fellow....His advertisers are fleeing in droves and other stations are beginning to drop him. He's done.
David, your response is typical of an unlettered indigent. I would suggest that you take a portion of your millions and educate yourself. "Morons" seem to be at the top of your vocabulary and expanding on that would only help with your feeble-minded comments. You say you want to post my address and employment status, so you have no problem with a multi million dollar lawsuit which would then result in your name and address being made public along with a nice change in your credit score, if you comprehend what that's all about. Since you have more than Letterman I'm sure some out of court settlement would suffice. I ponder where you and Petee measure on the Benit-Simon Scale, or maybe you are one in the same. The party has run a muck with a few of it's members, so sad.
Petee363: I wonder if it will go the other way...
One employer will not cover birth control, then cholesterol medication, then cancer medication. It's all God's will, right?
Again, Peteee, you are making assumptions about me who you know nothing about. I want employers out of my business also, whether it's my health or my facebook passwords. I do however see that a healthy workforce increases productivity and the bottom line. Can health care costs be lowered to be affordable to all? Should employees be paid more to cover costs? Should employers offer it as a perk to attract the most talented workers? The answer is in there somewhere. Unfortunately I see all politicians as crooked. The law will be made in a way that benefits them. And, Should the government mandate it? Probably not.

Ever notice that people like Mclean, who really have nothing to offer up, just spew more nonsense hoping to win the argument with nonsense alone. You say that Rush hasn't lost any income, but the facts are, yes McLean, the facts are that he has lost at least seven major sponsors with more to follow. I wonder how people like McLean and Petee and their supporters make it through a day. They are so depressed and pessimistic about the world and life in general. Feel free to overdose on that kool aid you've been drinking.
Whats even more amusing, is that AOL pulled their ads on Rush's show.
AOL own patch.
The constant page views they must make in posted literally hundreds of comments each in any given week, adds a not-insignificant amount of revenue to AOL.
See, the world really is a wonderful place. It's too bad they don't want to see it that way.
Rush today was jammed with commercials what are you talking about? 40 K a minute for an add Do you liberal morons really think you can effect Rush? Your dreaming toddlers. This isn't some liberal need some goverment hand out to stay on the air show, this is a guy who has 49 million listeners weekly, and makes 25 million a year doing what he does. Dang your boy Letterman makes what 4 million a year. Where upper class transboy, you scum suckers are bottom feeders. I make more than Letterman.
What I find sad in all of this is that the original intent with the Issa hearings was to bring to light how wrong the presidential mandate is to force Catholic/religious institutions to provide a broad range of contraceptives to their employees. This mandate clearly goes against the Catholic teachings, and being no religious scholar, I will just say it goes against other religions conscience. This has turned into a discussion/debate on women's health instead of a Constitutional issue. Women have usually always been able to obtain birth control be it free at a clinic or over the counter at a drug store. That probably won't change. If we don't all stick together and say "Mr. President you can't force us to do this or that", we won't live in the greatest country God created. Please people, get off the contraceptive band wagon and start seeing what is really going on in the world. Find a website that will tell the truth and do your own homework. Iran wants nukes, Syria is a mess, we have over 40 some million people here getting some kind of government aid, groups of people are being pitted against each other for one reason or another. It didn't used to be like this. Elections have consequences, please, once again, do your homework and choose the right person to help our country this November.
You are ignorant. The matter of religious oobjections to paying for coontraception was settled last week.
This is about an over reach by the regressives who have no jobs plan or domestic policy and has backfired on them in a larger than life way.
@Judy: you are wrong. the matter of catholic institutions was already settled but to the control freaks, that was not enough. they wish to extend their dogma and beliefs onto everyone else by using religion to undermine healthcare reform.
The hearings were about a proposed amendment which would have allowed insurance companies to claim a " moral highground " of their own choosing to deny healthcare to women. This was a huge expansion from the origional bruhaha about catholic institutions not covering for birth control.
This wide reaching amendment was voted down, as it should have been. Don't want to take the pill ? Then don't, but you have no right to force your personal beliefs upon others.
The GOP will pay a huge price for this and for aquiescing to bigot and woman hater Rush Limbaugh.
If I've learned nothing else from this discussion, it's that conservatives, at least ones who claim to be conservative and post on the Patch are fairly mean spirited. They get upset easily and are self centered. They really don't care about people who are truly in need and require some assistance to get by on a day to day bases. They enjoy making up things and numbers and label them as facts. All I know is that as I go about my day, I see the positive in most people. Most people have a smile on their face and love to help others, or at least try. Based on this discussion, if I see someone with a frown, I'll have to assume they are a conservative clown.
Bob, I believe it is the medium, not necessarily the person. The medium allows people to, if they choose, remain anonymous. They can say, pretty much, whatever they want without guilt or repercussion. They don't really even have to believe in the topic they are ranting about ... some do it just to rant.
Conservatives? No. Both sides have their people that go over the edge. While you imply it is just the conservatives the liberal side has their fair share of "Tawanda the Avenger"s, too.
The key is to type only those thought you would actually say out loud if you were talking with the person at a friendly neighborhood party.
I have never called a neighbor a conservative or liberal "clown" at a friendly party.
Tawanda has not had to resort to lies, spin or character assinations, unlike the regressives who post here regularly. That is the difference. I deal in fact and truth.
I observe the same thing, only the left are mean and hateful. Just read all the posts and dump the kool-aid. Your statment is pure spin and fact twisting to fit your argument. nayone with an open mind can twist your whoile statement to fit their argument.
Jennie B, your effort to get Peteee and McLean to read the facts just does not work with them. Facts confuse them. If they can't make up the facts, then the truth must not be heard. Thank you for posting what was really said.
Karl, this is a great link for Peteee and others to read. They keep claiming their is no loss of advertising. Article also states that two radio stations have dropped Rush, but Peteee and McLean insist that no radio stations have dropped him. Maybe it's Petteee's and McLean's turn to admit they were wrong in presenting the facts.
You can do some homework and fact check this.....when left leaning opinionists and commentators make inappropriate remarks the right asks for an apology. When a right leaning opinionist/commentator makes inapprpriate remarks the left asks for an apology and over 87% of the time goes after the advertisers. They ask and put pressure on them to leave and the person, station, or corporation that advertises. They ask the listeners to boycott the commentator, the station, and the advertiser. Why, because they are anti-capitalist and propagandists. The only thing a boycott does is hurts any capitaists trying to earn money. The advertisers do not necessarily agree with the opinions of the commentators but the left doesn't care. They just want the right silenced, the advertisers to lose money (99%'s are anti-capitalist), and more fuel for the propaganda machine. You can see in this column how they focus on HOW MANY advertisers have left. That is because the Left pushes that agenda. Check it out. They create their own dialogue for their own propaganda.
Peteee, the facts are what Ms Fluke said, not what you thought she said. The facts are what Karl pointed out, now what you have made up in your little ole mind.
Barry, you make a great point. Unfortunately, until the Patch starts requiring real names, etc, people will play games on here.
Rush Limbaugh: meet the real mama grizzlies. when you attacked and demeaned a young woman for over 3 days and over public airwaves to the delight of your fellow misogynists and bigots for sheer entertainment and ratings, you attacked the mothers and fathers of every young woman in America.
These mama grizzlies are very angry and determined to see you off the air.
I'm impressed Peteee. You really do not have a job. Wait, I take that back. Your job is to be on the Patch from morning til night. Yesterday you started just before 6:00 am and didn't stop until around 9:30 pm. This morning your the first to comment. Most of us take a break during the day. When do you find time to go to the bathroom? You must be an employee for the Patch. No wonder you have so much time to do so much meaningless research to bore us to tears. Charge on sir Peteee. Charge on...
I'm glad Petee has a job and is part of the 81% work force and not the 19% unemployed in this country under this preZ. Maybe we should talk about this presidents economic policy that sucks so bad.
Or, like me, maybe he has jobs with daus off during the week (like me) or has swing shifts where he works midnights at times. Be it a liberal to turn a SUPPOSITION INTO A TRUTH...

Peteee, not interested in your personal life, just making an observation. I truly have no interest in small men with small minds and small.... You couldn't handle a trophy wife who could think for herself and question your philosophies and theories. It was purely an observation on how you obsessive-compulsive you are. I need a man who has more interest in life than just blogging away 24-7. Sorry if I got your hopes up. Your just not man enough for me sir Peteee.
THANK YOU ERIN!!!! IMO he should have been axed along time ago. Everything that came out of his mouth was vial. The debates that are common on here turned into wild west shoot outs. I know everyone has their own opinion regarding the pill for contraception and whether or not it should be a covered expense. I can tell you that I was one of the many who took it for medical reasons. At the age of 38, I went through a bilateral mastectomy, followed by radiation and reconstructive surgery. During my treatment I suffered a mild heart attack and I had a cyst that ruptured. For 8 months I was in and out of the hospital and needless to say my insurance company cancelled me, I was high risk. When the cyst was removed it was discovered that I had endometriosis and the medical protocol for that was "the pill". At that time the $18.00 a month was a huge expense. I had no more medical insurance, lost my job and I was fighting for my life because I didn't want to leave my children motherless. Today I pay $1800.00 a month for heath care and have no prescription coverage. While some might view the pill as a means of sexual acceptance, it is much more than that for thousands of women. I can only pray that women are given this "medication" because the other alternative is a hysterectomy and trust me with that comes a whole different set of problems. Taking the pill away is only the beginning, wait until they take something that effects your children.
Do you people ever go back and read what a crazy rant path you have just written? It's pretty sad. And David, would you please do something about your grammar, spelling and mechanics? I know everyone makes a mistake now and then, but yours are so plentiful that your posts are downright painful.
First, I do have a problem with a 30 year old law student attending a pricey private law school in a very high cost of living area demanding that taxpayers foot the bill for her contraceptives. As a parent, I would be mortified if it were my daughter. I don't believe the government or taxpayers have an interest in promoting consequence free sex.
Secondly, all the hub-bub and posturing from the politicians denouncing Rush sickens me, yet the same politicians specifically shy away from denouncing Bill Maher for calling Sarah Palin a c**t and a t**t, and other prominent people for saying things about conservatives that would make Rush blush. And our president happily accepts $1M from Maher, yet cares not that he should explain to his daughters why Maher's comments are OK, but Rush is wrong.
When did this law student demand that the taxpayers pay for "her contraceptives " ?
She didn't. As a matter of fact, she didn't discuss her business at all. This is nothing more than rightwing spin and lies.
Additionally, Rush Limbaugh is the head of the GOP and a keynote speaker at CPAC. He is the GOP and this 3 days of rage directed at this young woman over public airwaves was slanderous, likely a FCC violation and reprehensible.
So far only Ron Paul has condemned this battering by Rush. The rest are scared to death to cross Rush; absolutely terrified like the wimps they are. To me this can mean only one thing: they agree with Rush and for that the GOP will pay a huge price at the pols.
JB, you're right Rush is a knob and at times so is Bill Maher. Anyone who defends idiotic comments by either of them (or anyone else in the media) is right up there with them in the knob dept.
Some of these arguments posted here are so friggin childish, adults acting like spoiled little kids. "He called me names", "no he said it first" - that is grade school stuff. Do you think Rush or Maher gives a flying crap about any of us? Why do people make themselves look like complete losers by defending their idiotic comments.
Some people keep bringing up their problems with alleged biases shown by The Patch. If there is are biases (or not) so be it - stop reading the Patch. People can't demand a right to hold their own biases and promote those in their own free speech and then say this person, or this news organization needs to think like me. I don't watch Fox News because of how biased they are and I don't go on their message board and complain about them being biased. I choose not to watch it and it sounds like some of you should choose not to read the Patch instead of coming on and whining about unfair coverage because the Patch didn't have an article about Maher.
This thread caught my eye as I was reading the news. You people need to move on. From the skimming I did, I see that everyone has their own view on things and many of you will fight to the death and waste many hours in front of your computers in hopes of proving your point. Don't you get it people? The "other" side will not change their positions, no matter how many names you call each other and how much you attempt to prove your point. The beauty of America is that we are all different. Now go do something worthwhile please and stop your ridiculous bickering.
Are you the hallway monitor ? If you don't like this blog thread, leave.
It's that simple, and no, it's is not impossible for people to change their minds provided they are open-minded to begin with. Take this matter of contraceptives, for example. If I were a rightwing conservative, I would be very unhappy over the lies and deliberate misrepresentation of the facts by the rightwing spinners, such as " rich college students want taxpayers to pay for their birth control pills..: and would start taking a much closer look at other issues where only the official republican party line was presented as truth. This can be a scary journey for some people.
For some, it can be as bad as finding out your beloved spouse has been cheating on you. You go thru similiar stages: denial-shock-anger-acceptance and it all started by
asking questions and not being afraid of the answers.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

http://www.palmbeachpost.com/localnews/content/local_news/epaper/2006/06/27/m1a_limbaugh_0627.html
This means he went to the Dominican Republic for sex and lots of it. Is he a patron of the skin trade ? He couldn't get laid here, he had to leave the US and why ?
4 marriages & 3 divorces with records sealed ? hmmmm..doesn't seem very family values-ish to me. Maybe he likes wedding cake and tuxedos. whadda think ?

Yes Dorothy, Rush Limbaugh I believe is still married to a much younger woman.....As a moderate Republican, I have never been in favor of Rush's far right-winged stance. However, when he is not just trying to up his ratings on the air, he can have some valid points as do most everyone who really cares about America. It's the coming together of the minds that perpetrate good sense and without logical compromise nothing ever gets done correctly. As I see it,one of the biggest problems with America today is too many people are out for themselves. There is little teamwork and when things go wrong no one wants to take responsibility for their actions.
This great nation of ours could be so much more if it wasn't for the greed for power and wealth. Now don't get me wrong! I see nothing wrong with getting ahead and being all you can be, after all that's what made America great, but helping those that truly need a hand up is our responsibility. "I still like the idea of giving a fish to a hungry person while teaching them to fish and if they are able to fish but chose not to fish then let them fend for themselves."
When the Desecrates have a good idea and the Republicans have an idea that is good why is it not in the best interests of the American people for them to come together and use the best parts of both ideas to generate a GREAT idea. Isn't that how our from of Government is suppose to work, or don't the Grade School Teachers and Collage Professors teach that anymore.

none of this is about anyone trying to take anything away from anybody, nor is it about anyone trying to impose their beliefs upon others.

quit forcing your religious and moral beliefs down everyone's throat. if you have personal objections to family planning, don't practice family planning; it's a simple as that, but you and your regressives want to impose your narrow mindedness upon the rest of society and that is wrong.

She couldn't afford the pills, quit taking them. The cyst got as big as a tennis ball and she lost her ovary and her fertility. She is going though menopause at 32 (?) yo. Ms. Fluke also mentioned a married student who could not afford the pills. Sex was not mentioned one time. Sandra's sex life was not mentioned one time. Here is a transcript

This attempt to derail healthcare reform has backfired on the crotch-watching regressives in a very big way. To insult, verbally batter and demean a private citizen to the degree that Rush has done over a 3 day period is reprehensible and shocking, not to mention extreme and sexist. Nothing new with Limbaugh except this time he went too far.
Mike, please stay away from women. Clearly you have some serious conflicts that you need to work through before you can even hope to have a healthy relationship. Nice women do and can enjoy sex and responsible people take precautions to prevent unwanted pregnancies, and that includes married couples.
Maybe your goal is to be a 3X+ loser like Rush ? You are definitely on the right track. Smart women do not bother with men like you and if by chance one should slip thru the radar, they're plopped into the ejection seat of divorce court quickly.

Mr. Ellison - have you actually read the transcripts of Ms. Flukes testimony? NOT ONCE did she say others should pay for her condoms or birth control so she can have more sex. NOT ONCE. She illustrated the need for companies to cover birth control, specifically for medical conditions. Yes, Mr. Ellison, there are REAL MEDICAL CONDITIONS that can be controlled through the use of birth (hormone) control pills. She retold a story of her friend - a lesbian, by the way, therefore no need to worry about unwanted pregnancy - who took BCP to control her ovarian cysts.

Not a Letterman fan, but I will apologize for him. Clinton's non presidential behaviors were atrocious. Does that cover everybody. Apparently you've been holding a grudge for a long time.

Yeah I listen to Rush today he had new advertisers, at 40K per minute Rush is back in business, in fact today seem to be a lot more commercial breaks than normal. You libs can't destroy the King of Talk Radio, when his listeners in 1 week out number all liberal radio and news channels listeners in a whole month. Yeah you libs suck at everything. Rush has a total of 200 million listeners per month, hee hee hee ha ha ha! Nobody wants to listen to liberals not even liberals.

Rush has 15M listeners a week
'Morning Edition' on NPR has 13M listeners a week.
'All Things Considered' on NPR has 12M listeners a week.
Considering ALL of radio has 230M listeners, your claim of '200 million a month' is laughably less than accurate. Considering that just 2 shows on one radio station almost double Rush's listeners, your claims are obviously not based on any facts.
Tim
4:56 pm on Monday, March 5, 2012

I'm trying really hard not to disparage your logic, but you keep proving over and over again that you do not grasp even the basic facts of what you are talking about.

Must be under 18 and can't vote. Not one of your conservative candidates stand a chance in November.

Rush Limbaugh is a bigot and a misogynist ( women hater ) who caters to other bigots and women-haters. He is afraid of women and people of color and feels empowered hiding in a studio behind a mic bloviating his hate, lies and distortions to others who admire him as some kind of surrogate father figure. So who are his male fans ?
lives with or is dependent upon a woman, likely an elderly mother
is afraid of non-whites and people of other religious backgrounds
avoids work and responsibilities prefers to indulge in themselves and their pursuit of recreation and pleasure, on mommy's dime, of course.
has a history of troubled or non-existent relationships women and no male friends.
has a history of troubled relationships with women, including stalking and abuse toward women, likely multiple divorces or short-lived relationships characterized with insecurity and a pathological need to control using violence if needed.
an obsession with pornography and likely heavy drinking.
engages in jedi-like mind tricks such as projection, denial, delusion and fits of rage.

Peetee, Speaking of Ed Schultz, here is how a man apoligizes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1mQS3zxPF4
The reason why there was no controversy around Schultz is because he apologized the next day and tok himself off the air for a week. Something a Republican would never do. As for Letterman, please show me proof that Letterman is a member of the Democratic party. Only right wing talking heads put Letterman in the Democrats, which he is not. Besides, he apologized on the air too.
Your crap about Clinton is just that. He was impeached by the House of Yokels for the Lewinsky affair. Willey's accusations were never proven.
Now, I expect you to post your full name and contact info. By your logic and blind defense of Limbaugh, you are stating that private citizens are fair game to personally smear if you disagree with them. So, give us your full name and contact info, so we can put the shoe on the right foot.

I finally had the time to listen to the statement from Ms. Fluke. Mr. Limbaugh you're a disgrace to the human race. I vote republican most of the time and find your comments to be nothing but a nail in the coffin to the party. I have also learned that one of Mr. Romney's biggest campaign contributors is the owner of the station that employees you, if this is true this is a not good for republicans. Since this entire issue seems to be focused around the act of sex we could surgically take care of the problem for both the sexes. Sew it up and cut it off should suffice. Procreation could proceed in a lab so there's really no need for the act at all. I see this as a win win for us all. While we're at it I don't like the idea of paying taxes alone, it's time the churches start paying their fair share like everyone else. They use the government and state services like the rest of us so time to chip in. Fairs fair.

I don't want them to have access to any roads, police/fire, military protection, or any other services that I pay for as a tax paying citizen. Why should I give my hard earned money for their free loading church, especially if I don't use or believe in their doctrine.

The last time I listened to Rush's radio show was back in the very early 90's..can't recall the exact date..and Rush made racist remarks and mocked people of color.
That was the final straw for me.
Prior to that, realized that he never ever had guests on or presented any sort of counter balance to his rants. That is boring and insults my intelligence.
I do not need to be preached at or wailed upon by some pompous blowhard who is completely full of himself and is negative and hateful toward others.
Anyone remember when he mocked the Chinese president and the Chinese language?
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/01/rush-limbaugh-mocks-chinese-president-hu-jintao/
Rush has also mocked his own listeners and fans, in case you have not noticed. He has come right out and said that you are an idiot for taking him seriously, and yet, you defend him like he is your kin or best friend while he thinks you are an idiot.

The man is a known drug addict and from what I've been told a wife beater which makes him no better then the same people he's beating up on. For crying out loud he was caught with Oxycontin, why wasn't he thrown in jail for this. The man, only because he has a johnson between his legs, is an addict with a God ego who needs serious help.

that matter was already settled. the recent hearings were about a proposed bill which was voted down, which would allow employers to reject any part of healthcare reform that they, the employer, might find " morally objectional " . This bill would have had far reaching impact to permit any employer to deny coverage for any reason. Examply: Christian Scientists believe that diet and vitamins will cure just about anything. They could in theory refuse to cover everything except diet and vitamins. Likewise, Jehovahs Witnesses forbid blood transfustions. This would get the JW's a way out of covering transfusions.

The Republican party I remembered believed in higher standards and had the utmost regard for a higher education. When the phrase "sluts like to be smacked around" is used it's nothing more than trailer trash comments. The language used by some on here is immature 11 and 12 year old slang talk. Re-read some of these comments and tell me how educated some of these posters sound, not too bright. If you're going to argue your point at least try a few new choice words, the redundant use of "moron" has worn out it's usefulness. If you read further into these comments voyeurism in the form of words has taken hold of some of these post. One is feeding off the other and it's no longer about contraception but the thrill and excitement that's expelled from the responses.

You say you want to post my address and employment status, so you have no problem with a multi million dollar lawsuit which would then result in your name and address being made public along with a nice change in your credit score, if you comprehend what that's all about. Since you have more than Letterman I'm sure some out of court settlement would suffice. I ponder where you and Petee measure on the Benit-Simon Scale, or maybe you are one in the same.

What I find sad in all of this is that the original intent with the Issa hearings was to bring to light how wrong the presidential mandate is to force Catholic/religious institutions to provide a broad range of contraceptives to their employees. This mandate clearly goes against the Catholic teachings, and being no religious scholar, I will just say it goes against other religions conscience. This has turned into a discussion/debate on women's health instead of a Constitutional issue. Women have usually always been able to obtain birth control be it free at a clinic or over the counter at a drug store. That probably won't change. If we don't all stick together and say "Mr. President you can't force us to do this or that", we won't live in the greatest country God created. Please people, get off the contraceptive band wagon and start seeing what is really going on in the world. Find a website that will tell the truth and do your own homework. Iran wants nukes, Syria is a mess, we have over 40 some million people here getting some kind of government aid, groups of people are being pitted against each other for one reason or another. It didn't used to be like this. Elections have consequences, please, once again, do your homework and choose the right person to help our country this November.

@Judy: you are wrong. the matter of catholic institutions was already settled but to the control freaks, that was not enough. they wish to extend their dogma and beliefs onto everyone else by using religion to undermine healthcare reform.
The hearings were about a proposed amendment which would have allowed insurance companies to claim a " moral highground " of their own choosing to deny healthcare to women. This was a huge expansion from the origional bruhaha about catholic institutions not covering for birth control.
This wide reaching amendment was voted down, as it should have been. Don't want to take the pill ? Then don't, but you have no right to force your personal beliefs upon others.
The GOP will pay a huge price for this and for aquiescing to bigot and woman hater Rush Limbaugh.

They get upset easily and are self centered. They really don't care about people who are truly in need and require some assistance to get by on a day to day bases. They enjoy making up things and numbers and label them as facts. All I know is that as I go about my day, I see the positive in most people. Most people have a smile on their face and love to help others, or at least try. Based on this discussion, if I see someone with a frown, I'll have to assume they are a conservative clown.

The key is to type only those thought you would actually say out loud if you were talking with the person at a friendly neighborhood party.
I have never called a neighbor a conservative or liberal "clown" at a friendly party.

Rush Limbaugh Advertisers Keep Leaving Show In Wake Of Sandra Fluke Comments

Karl, this is a great link for Peteee and others to read. They keep claiming their is no loss of advertising. Article also states that two radio stations have dropped Rush, but Peteee and McLean insist that no radio stations have dropped him. Maybe it's Petteee's and McLean's turn to admit they were wrong in presenting the facts.
What a Deal!
9:17 am on Wednesday, March 7, 2012
You can do some homework and fact check this.....when left leaning opinionists and commentators make inappropriate remarks the right asks for an apology. When a right leaning opinionist/commentator makes inapprpriate remarks the left asks for an apology and over 87% of the time goes after the advertisers. They ask and put pressure on them to leave and the person, station, or corporation that advertises. They ask the listeners to boycott the commentator, the station, and the advertiser. Why, because they are anti-capitalist and propagandists. The only thing a boycott does is hurts any capitaists trying to earn money. The advertisers do not necessarily agree with the opinions of the commentators but the left doesn't care. They just want the right silenced, the advertisers to lose money (99%'s are anti-capitalist), and more fuel for the propaganda machine. You can see in this column how they focus on HOW MANY advertisers have left. That is because the Left pushes that agenda. Check it out. They create their own dialogue for their own propaganda.

Peteee, the facts are what Ms Fluke said, not what you thought she said. The facts are what Karl pointed out, now what you have made up in your little ole mind.
Barry, you make a great point. Unfortunately, until the Patch starts requiring real names, etc, people will play games on here.

Rush Limbaugh: meet the real mama grizzlies. when you attacked and demeaned a young woman for over 3 days and over public airwaves to the delight of your fellow misogynists and bigots for sheer entertainment and ratings, you attacked the mothers and fathers of every young woman in America.
These mama grizzlies are very angry and determined to see you off the air.

I'm impressed Peteee. You really do not have a job. Wait, I take that back. Your job is to be on the Patch from morning til night. Yesterday you started just before 6:00 am and didn't stop until around 9:30 pm. This morning your the first to comment. Most of us take a break during the day. When do you find time to go to the bathroom? You must be an employee for the Patch. No wonder you have so much time to do so much meaningless research to bore us to tears. Charge on sir Peteee. Charge on...

You couldn't handle a trophy wife who could think for herself and question your philosophies and theories. It was purely an observation on how you obsessive-compulsive you are. I need a man who has more interest in life than just blogging away 24-7. Sorry if I got your hopes up. Your just not man enough for me sir Peteee.

THANK YOU ERIN!!!! IMO he should have been axed along time ago. Everything that came out of his mouth was vial. The debates that are common on here turned into wild west shoot outs. I know everyone has their own opinion regarding the pill for contraception and whether or not it should be a covered expense. I can tell you that I was one of the many who took it for medical reasons. At the age of 38, I went through a bilateral mastectomy, followed by radiation and reconstructive surgery. During my treatment I suffered a mild heart attack and I had a cyst that ruptured. For 8 months I was in and out of the hospital and needless to say my insurance company cancelled me, I was high risk. When the cyst was removed it was discovered that I had endometriosis and the medical protocol for that was "the pill". At that time the $18.00 a month was a huge expense. I had no more medical insurance, lost my job and I was fighting for my life because I didn't want to leave my children motherless. Today I pay $1800.00 a month for heath care and have no prescription coverage. While some might view the pill as a means of sexual acceptance, it is much more than that for thousands of women. I can only pray that women are given this "medication" because the other alternative is a hysterectomy and trust me with that comes a whole different set of problems. Taking the pill away is only the beginning, wait until they take something that effects your children.

First, I do have a problem with a 30 year old law student attending a pricey private law school in a very high cost of living area demanding that taxpayers foot the bill for her contraceptives. As a parent, I would be mortified if it were my daughter. I don't believe the government or taxpayers have an interest in promoting consequence free sex.
Secondly, all the hub-bub and posturing from the politicians denouncing Rush sickens me, yet the same politicians specifically shy away from denouncing Bill Maher for calling Sarah Palin a c**t and a t**t, and other prominent people for saying things about conservatives that would make Rush blush. And our president happily accepts $1M from Maher, yet cares not that he should explain to his daughters why Maher's comments are OK, but Rush is wrong.

@Joe Smith:
When did this law student demand that the taxpayers pay for "her contraceptives " ?
She didn't. As a matter of fact, she didn't discuss her business at all. This is nothing more than rightwing spin and lies.
Additionally, Rush Limbaugh is the head of the GOP and a keynote speaker at CPAC. He is the GOP and this 3 days of rage directed at this young woman over public airwaves was slanderous, likely a FCC violation and reprehensible.
So far only Ron Paul has condemned this battering by Rush. The rest are scared to death to cross Rush; absolutely terrified like the wimps they are. To me this can mean only one thing: they agree with Rush and for that the GOP will pay a huge price at the pols.

JB, you're right Rush is a knob and at times so is Bill Maher. Anyone who defends idiotic comments by either of them (or anyone else in the media) is right up there with them in the knob dept.
Some of these arguments posted here are so friggin childish, adults acting like spoiled little kids. "He called me names", "no he said it first" - that is grade school stuff. Do you think Rush or Maher gives a flying crap about any of us? Why do people make themselves look like complete losers by defending their idiotic comments.
Some people keep bringing up their problems with alleged biases shown by The Patch. If there is are biases (or not) so be it - stop reading the Patch. People can't demand a right to hold their own biases and promote those in their own free speech and then say this person, or this news organization needs to think like me. I don't watch Fox News because of how biased they are and I don't go on their message board and complain about them being biased. I choose not to watch it and it sounds like some of you should choose not to read the Patch instead of coming on and whining about unfair coverage because the Patch didn't have an article about Maher.

This thread caught my eye as I was reading the news. You people need to move on. From the skimming I did, I see that everyone has their own view on things and many of you will fight to the death and waste many hours in front of your computers in hopes of proving your point. Don't you get it people? The "other" side will not change their positions, no matter how many names you call each other and how much you attempt to prove your point. The beauty of America is that we are all different. Now go do something worthwhile please and stop your ridiculous bickering.

@Eileen:
Are you the hallway monitor ? If you don't like this blog thread, leave.
It's that simple, and no, it's is not impossible for people to change their minds provided they are open-minded to begin with. Take this matter of contraceptives, for example. If I were a rightwing conservative, I would be very unhappy over the lies and deliberate misrepresentation of the facts by the rightwing spinners, such as " rich college students want taxpayers to pay for their birth control pills..: and would start taking a much closer look at other issues where only the official republican party line was presented as truth. This can be a scary journey for some people.
For some, it can be as bad as finding out your beloved spouse has been cheating on you. You go thru similiar stages: denial-shock-anger-acceptance and it all started by
asking questions and not being afraid of the answers.

New Flash: despite Rush's statements to the contrary, his advertisers are departing in droves. Today, of 87 commercials during his " excrement in broadcasting ", 76 were public service announcements which bring in no revenues.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
