3. I wrote this to AFN:

Rush Limbaugh's recent comments about Sandra Fluke illustrate why he should not be broadcast on AFN.
With the problem of rapes and sexual abuse of women in the Armed Forces, why promote more misogyny on your network?

What is next, the KKK broadcasting on your network advocating for lynching "n*ggers?" That term is no less incendiary and insulting than the "sluts" used by Limbaugh to describe any female who uses contraceptives.

I am a daughter of a retired Army Colonel, wife of an Army Colonel currently serving, and was a CPT myself in the Army, a Gulf War veteran.

It offends me that your network broadcasts this kind of filth.

Sincerely,

4. Thanks for the link. I have a granddaughter who is currently serving and consider his nasty

remarks target her, as well. This is not how I want my tax dollars to be used.

5. Here's the response from AFN. Not helpful at all.

Subject/In Regards: Limbaugh
User Comment/Question:
His corrosive speech is not enlightening or a boost to morale. He needs to be removed from AFN. My tax dollars do not support his rancid and anti-women rhetoric. Thank you in advance

9. They ought to listen to his shit.

If they have the stomach for it they should just tune in for one day's broadcast. He isn't just presenting a contrasting viewpoint. He is spewing lies, hate and distortions. We would be in a world of shit if they had the same policy during WW II. They would have given Goebels all the AFN air time he wanted.

7. good luck

I've written letter after letter to the Defense chiefs begging them to take him off the air. I just cannot understand how this racist, Misogynist on radio programs that the troops listen to. I pointed out that other country nationals are present when this man is spewing his filth. All I got back were shrugs.
