BREAKING: Freepers lose control over their bodily functions in wake of Rush Limbaugh's "apology."

From their thoughtfully-titled thread "A Statement from Rush (Rush offers apology to Slut!)"

I guess his $pon$ors were dropping him like flies so he panicked.

Disappointing.

She’s a slut, and Limbaugh is stooping to her level in making this statement.

If that is Rush’s position on this, that’s cool. I will continue to refer to her as a slut though. I find it hilarious and fitting.

And this weekend, they will dine on rotten apples, sauteed in sour grapes, garnished with bitter herbs.

Dessert will be a cake made entirely of TUMS, covered with a pink icing made from Pepto-Bismol.

The freepers considered her a "slut" because Limbaugh told them to consider her a "slut."

Not they consider her a "slut" because Limbaugh apologized, and if there's one thing a Republican NEVER does is "apologize."

The sponsor thing gained quick traction, though, and a few freepers were quick enough on the uptake to see that "El Rushbo" got SPOOKED.

But all of the blame gets pointed back to Ms. Fluke in their minds, and the "apology" only serves as justification that Limbaugh was right in the first place. Don't ask me how that logic works, I couldn't tell you...but that seems to be exactly what's happening.

"I wouldn't have to do this if you didn't make me so mad. You deserve this for upsetting me. You know I can't stand you upsetting me."

If this has done any good whatsoever it's been helpful in bringing the abuser mentality into the light.

Sat Mar 3, 2012, 08:27 PM

But they don't see themselves as victims, they think everybody got beat-to-shit when they were a kid and it's a "normal" upbringing. "I got the shit beat out a me, so you should get the shit beat out a you, too."
So the cycle continues...

to tell them the "truth" of what she said. Freepers find it much easier to let someone tell them what their opinions should be and how they should react to a situation than to actually think for themselves.

I don't recall her talking about how much sex she has. What I recall is her talking about a classmate who relied on BCP's to keep her ovaries from turning on her, and who had an ovary blow up when she couldn't afford pills out of pocket.

or even their mothers sluts because I am sure they are all using birth control pills. Shame on them. Do they think their mothers, wives, sisters or daughters would truly be proud of them. I think not. I sure wouldn't. Even the republican family members in my family were upset because some of them use birth control not only to prevent births but also for medical reasons.

They are throwing him under the bus over there. It's sublime.

The Repuke candidates ought to give up. They can't go far enough over the edge for the base. They just can't. Even Rush Limbaugh is now too liberal for them.

This is going to be a good year.
