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.

The truth never needs an apology.

Disappointing.
Shes a slut, and Limbaugh is stooping to her level in making this statement.

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

Rush doesnt have to keep the dumb slut demographic...
But advertisers strongly prefer he did.

(30,885 posts)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.

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

So the cycle continues...

(23,051 posts)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.

(11,304 posts)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.

(21,478 posts)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.

I think conservative Republican women hate themselves even more than their husbands do!
