Rush Limburgh Deserves A Caning

Position, power or audience is no excuse for despicable behavior, under any circumstances. I. of course, refer to conservative pundit, Rush Limbaugh's ignorant rant in calling a young lady a slut on national television. Rush knew exactly what he was doing and showed himself to be the bigoted idito that he is know, now proven to be. I am not a liberal, but a voting conservative, who can separate the issue from the person. Not so Limbaugh. Whose treatment derogatory comments about a law student who testified about birth control policy defies any kind of acceptable norm. Just because someone has the right to do something, doesn't mean they should do it. That, is called, responsibility.

A flower company is the seventh advertiser to pull its ads from conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh's radio program in reaction to his derogatory comments about a law student who testified about birth control policy.  ProFlowers said Sunday on its Facebook page that it has suspended advertising on Limbaugh's program because his comments about Georgetown University student Sandra Fluke "went beyond political discourse to a personal attack and do not reflect our values as a company."  The six other advertisers that say they have pulled ads from his show are mortgage lender Quicken Loans, mattress retailers Sleep Train and Sleep Number, software maker Citrix Systems Inc., online data backup service provider Carbonite and online legal document services company LegalZoom.

Limbaugh apologized to Fluke on Saturday after calling her a "slut" and "prostitute" resulting in him being criticized by Republican and Democratic politicians and prompted several advertisers left the show.His "apology" does not appear to be motivated by a realization of being totally wrong, but by advertisers rushing to drop him, in other words, when it hit him in the pocketbook. I hope people continue to send the strong message that this kind of behavior, by anyone, regardless of their politics, is simply offensive and repugnant.
