Limbaugh Bemoans Uppity ‘Overeducated’ Single Women

Limbaugh Bemoans Uppity ‘Overeducated’ Single Women | Rush Limbaugh refrained from directly attacking Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke today, spending most of the first hour of his show warning about a coming liberal war on food. But he still apparently couldn’t resist throwing a jab at women. In lengthy screed against a new book on the American food system by author Tracie McMillan, asking rhetorically, “What is it with all of these young, single, white women, overeducated — doesn’t mean intelligent.” Listen here:

Keep digging dipshit.

He's made a career out of demonizing whole parts of our country. Can't unlearn the old habits. He's going to be surprised that everything he says from here on out is going to be recorded and broadcast back at him - if he wants to pick a fight with every educated woman in this country, he's setting himself up for a spectacular implosion.

"everything he says"... That is, "everything he says" will also be tied to the rethug party since he is their leader and mouthpiece, and I am hoping it will translate to down-ticket wins for Democrats!

The right wing nutters will find a place for him somewhere. For the good of the existence of humanity he do well to shake hands with Breitbart.

what does being white, a single women, or having an education have to do w/ anything?

Tracie McMillan's book is about how hard it is to eat a good diet in America when you are
poor or middle class.

What would that be referring to? Our disapproval of Monsanto privatizing and poisoning the world's food supply?

I'm just guessing because I'm certainly not going to actually listen to the mutherfucker.

His entire show has always been about playing to the fears and feelings of victimization of the older white men who comprise his audience. Rush plays the eternal victim and his listeners identify with it and see themselves in him. It's the same feelings of fear and loss of privilege that he plays to regarding race and immigration. You take that aspect away and there's no Limbaugh show. Therefore, he can't stop being an asshole as that's what his schtick is all about.

I believe it was Bonaparte who said "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake".
