Rush Limbaugh: Not the Only One with First Amendment Rights

[ProfessionalLeftist]

By Sue Wilson - producer of 'Broadcast Blues' (http://www.suewilsonreports.com/2010/06/what-happened-to-broadcast-blues.html)

Rush Limbaugh does it again... and of course it comes as no surprise.

This time he targeted Sandra Fluke, the third year Georgetown Law student who was denied an opportunity to speak to a key all male Republican committee (headed by indicted car thief Darrel Issa) about the need for women to have access to contraception.

Rush raged that since Fluke wants to require employer based health insurance policies to cover birth control, she is a "slut" and worse. He somehow equates getting health coverage for birth control with getting paid to have sex, and then argues that Fluke wants taxpayers to pay her to have sex, and she should post videos of herself having sex so taxpayers will know what they are getting for their money. Hmmn, what great "conservative" thinking that is.

. . .

This time, he is facing some pushback. Groups across the country are urging a boycott of Limbaugh The mattress giant Sleep Train has already pulled its ads in the wake of the Fluke comments, and the group is pressuring Pro Flowers to stop advertising as well. The National Organization for Women is also calling on Clear Channel to lose Limbaugh. These are good measures, but not good enough.

Rush targets women all the time (including yours truly,) but broadcasters like Clear Channel who put him on hundreds of stations nationwide and profit handsomely insist no matter how vile his comments, he enjoys "freedom of speech."

1. Yep. Constitution just guarantees you won't be tossed in jail for saying stuff.

Doesn't guarantee that there won't be any personal, professional, or economic consequences.
