Donald, you are astounding ignorant.
Oh the evil done to a Democratic Party activist just trolling along
Prove it you horse's ass.
Show your sources.
Prove that Ms Fluke is a Democratic Party Activist.
Prove even that she is a registered Democrat, show where you read that.
Then come back and apologize to everyone here that your momma raised a lying moron for a son.
Christ, are you in any way related to that other blind squirrel, Skippy Do Da?

I don't know what's more amusing...
Watching some of these asstard ST Repugs defend obviously indefensible commentary, rationalizing it as comeuppance for ripping on Joe the Plumber or Sarah Palin...
...or watching the great, white, addicted, blowhard himself (not you, bluering) trying to backpedal on this after he tried to double down on his original comments. It's pretty rare to actually see RL apologize (has it ever happened?)...he must be sweating bullets.
This is AWESOME!!

"...reprise some of comments and photos involving Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin that you and your compatriots posted not so long ago?"
I posed this to bookworm earlier today, and got no response (no surprise there)....
The only response that you ST Repugs have to RL's comments is that it is quid pro quo for all the ripping that happened to JtP, Palin, Bachmann, etc....Like that somehow makes RL's comments somehow acceptable.
More ironic and stupefyingly hypocritical, though, is when that defensiveness comes from well-known RR ST Repugs...you know, those Christian folk? The ones that say that everything in the Bible is truth and ultimate guidance?
Meh.
Meh. Meh.

Hey DungHole, one major difference is we don't have millions of listeners.

(Dumb Thuck? hmmm...)
I don't follow too closely, but you sure look like an ass right here (just sayin) as you try to defend RL and compare folks in a forum to him on the radio.
Further, I kinda doubt these women you are so enamored were actually called sluts or prostitutes.
Were they called Stupid? Whacko? Bigoted? Incompetent? Dirty Rotten Liars?
Well yes, they were likely called all those, and of course those statements were/are also all true, but you are a right winger so "true" is beside the point...

Great to have you here, folks, looking forward to talking with you today as the program unfolds before your very eyes and ears. Our telephone number, 800-282-2882, the e-mail address ElRushbo@eibnet.com.
While I have your attention, give me 30 minutes here. It's all I ask and then you can do what you want. I want to explain why I apologized to Sandra Fluke in the statement that was released on Saturday. I've read all the theories from all sides, and, frankly, they are all wrong. I don't expect -- and I know you don't, either -- morality or intellectual honesty from the left. They've demonstrated over and over a willingness to say or do anything to advance their agenda. It's what they do. It's what we fight against here every day. But this is the mistake I made. In fighting them on this issue last week, I became like them.
Against my own instincts, against my own knowledge, against everything I know to be right and wrong I descended to their level when I used those two words to describe Sandra Fluke. That was my error. I became like them, and I feel very badly about that. I've always tried to maintain a very high degree of integrity and independence on this program. Nevertheless, those two words were inappropriate. They were uncalled for. They distracted from the point that I was actually trying to make, and I again sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for using those two words to describe her. I do not think she is either of those two words. I did not think last week that she is either of those two words.
The apology to her over the weekend was sincere. It was simply for using inappropriate words in a way I never do, and in so doing, I became like the people we oppose. I ended up descending to their level. It's important not to be like them, ever, particularly in fighting them. The old saw, you never descend to the level of your opponent or they win. That was my error last week. But the apology was heartfelt. The apology was sincere. And, as you will hear as I go on here, it was not about anything else. No ulterior motive. No speaking in code. No double entendre or intention. Pure, simple, heartfelt. That's why I apologized to Sandra Fluke on Saturday, 'cause all the theories, all the experts are wrong.
I have a question.
Do we want “The World’s Only Superpower” to be run by people unable to take responsibility for their own actions?

GOP chairman says he leads party, not Rush Limbaugh
Steele says he is the leader of the GOP.
WASHINGTON (CNN) - Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele is taking issue with the notion that Rush Limbaugh is the de facto leader of the GOP, calling the conservative radio talk show host an entertainer whose comments can be ugly.
Steele, chairman of the Republican National Committee, said in an interview with CNN that he, rather than Limbaugh, is "the de facto leader of the Republican Party."
And Steele described Limbaugh as a performer.
"Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh's whole thing is entertainment," Steele said. "Yes, it is incendiary. Yes, it is ugly."
Last month, Steele, a former lieutenant governor of Maryland, was elected chair of the RNC. He is the first African-American to lead the Republican Party. At the time of his election, Steele said that "Rush will say what Rush has to say; we'll do what we have to do."
Steele made his latest comments regarding Limbaugh on CNN's "D.L. Hughley Breaks the News," which aired this weekend. The Steele interview was taped before Limbaugh's appearance before the Conservative Political Action Conference, an annual meeting of conservatives from across the nation.
Limbaugh brought a cheering crowd to its feet several times as he called on fellow conservatives to take back the country.
He used his self-described "first national address," which ran more than an hour longer than his allotted 20 minutes, to accuse President Barack Obama of inspiring fear in Americans in order to push a liberal agenda of "big government."
Limbaugh also backed up comments he made earlier this year in which he said he hoped Obama fails.
Mr. Donald Thompson:
A question.
Do you share Rush's hope that Barack Obama shall fail?
Do you hope that our President shall succeed?
Edit:
Thank you for clearly stating your opinion.
For myself, I have observed the majority of the anti-capitalism that has developed came about following the Bush administration's failure to regulate the financial industry; that failure eventually forcing the taxpayer, whose income has for nearly a decade been flat to declining, to bail out bankers who gave themselves millions in bonuses to reward them for leading their companies into bankruptcy.

3. Obama's political philosophy and world view is the opposite of the traditions that made this country great.
No president in recent times has imposed more government on the American people, acted so diametrically opposed to the intent of the founding fathers, usurped the Constitution, and wreaked havoc our economic standing as the BushCo neocons - where was all your angst and teeth gnashing then?
You are the perfect example of the result and legacy of the Rovian dogs getting off their leash and into the hands of even less ethical people than Karl (and god knows that isn't easy) - it's like watching a bad ventriloquist act. And you can tell just how tight the reins are these days when even the loons at the Cato Institute are bridling at the bit.

rottingjohnny's friend: ...the fact that Limbaugh gets the conservatives whipped into a drooling frenzy...
The problem - starting in the South back with Harry Dent, Sr., and then on to guys like Ralph Reed, Lee Atw#ter (apparently ST's filters still haven't forgiven Lee his sins), and Karl Rove is that the strategy to polarize around race escaped the south, jumped to religion, and then to secular society. Karl used guys like Rush the way MLK used guys like Jesse Jackson and Jerry Rubin and all these guys were world-class instigators and rabble-rousers, both at the street corner and societal levels. But even Karl Rove now must wonder at the lasting damage his legacy has wrought with the current [corporate] radicalization of the republican party spun completely out of control - he quite literally 'gave them up unto vileand the Dems affections'.
The damage done to our nation by the deliberate progrom to exterminate moderate republicans can't overstated. From Reagan on it has been a power-at-any-price proposition for the right and they in a very large part responsible for the decline of our nation. They have, again and again, squandered the best we are and at every opportunity sold the American worker and middle class out to corporate interests.
They have pandered to our worst fears and instincts on race, gender, and nationality all the while using those fears as a cover to strip the poor and middle class of any and all environmental, consumer, and financial protections possible. Their goons and dogs are now whipped by the new masters of the likes of the Kochs and Murdochs whose interest lay far more in dismantling the EPA and China respectively than with the American people.
Being republican was once a exercise in looking longingly into the rear view mirror; after the past 20 years, you now have to wear blinders and salivate on command. It makes me wonder if conservative chadors and campus-wide aspirin dispensers can't be far behind any republican win in November.

Rush has actually apologized before though some question whether they were really apologies. The quotes below are from a CNN story.
1. "In 2006, Limbaugh mocked Parkinson's-afflicted actor Michael J. Fox after Fox appeared in a political commercial for Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill. He later offered a conditional apology: "I will bigly, hugely admit that I was wrong, and I will apologize to Michael J. Fox, if I am wrong in characterizing his behavior on this commercial as an act."
2. In 2003 "Limbaugh resigned from ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown" after igniting a controversy with statements about African-American quarterback Donovan McNabb. 'My comments this past Sunday were directed at the media and were not racially motivated. I offered an opinion,' Limbaugh said. 'This opinion has caused discomfort to the crew, which I regret.'
3. "Limbaugh has also mocked presidential children Amy Carter ('the most unattractive presidential daughter in the history of the country') and Chelsea Clinton (comparing her to a dog). Both times, he apologized, though some critics questioned the spirit of his regret."
