Sarah Palin Defends Rush Limbaugh Over ‘Slut’ Comments

Sarah Palin has leaped to the defense of the embattled Rush Limbaugh, after the conservative radio host apologized for making verbal attacks against a law student who advocated for contraception coverage.
For those catching up, Limbaugh recently called Sandra Fluke, a student at Georgetown Law School, a “slut,” after she was called as a democratic witness to discuss the new contraception rule being fought over between Obama and the Republicans. Limbaugh’s reasoning ran thus:
“What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke [sic] who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex — what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She’s having so much sex she can’t afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex. ok, so she’s not a slut. She’s round-heeled.”
Limbaugh later apologized, because he’s a real civil guy after all advertisers on his radio show started jumping ship.
But Palin doesn’t think Limbaugh should have apologized. In an interview with CNN, the former Alaska governor claimed the outrage over Limbaugh’s comments was primarily fueled by the nasty old left, who apparently also hate the disabled and women or something:
“I think the definition of hypocrisy is for Rush Limbaugh to have been called out, forced to apologize and retract what it is he said in exercising his first amendment rights-and never is that, the same, applied to the leftist radicals who say such horrible things about the handicapped, about women, about the defenseless.”
One can only assume Palin thinks calling an opponent a “slut” and a “prostitute” is a reasonable remark in supposedly mature political discourse.

I WONDER HOW SARAH WOULD REACT IF" SHE" WERE CALLED A SLUT AND A WHORE?
Mar 8, 2012
I'm sure it would be a true statement!
Mar 8, 2012
The author of this article is a leftist goon, who walks over the hypocrisy the left bathes in. The only time I have ever been disappointed in Rush is this lame apology to a leftist moronic tool like Fluke. Fluke is the one that said she was having so much sex, that she could not afford it, and wants me to pay for it.

Gee Sam, hate woman much? Palin doesn't think, just like Rush. The first amendment doesn't give you the right to name call or defame someone.It means the government can't censor speech, but you as an adult should be censoring what comes out of your mouth. And did you read the article? It was just an unbiased laying out of the facts. But I guess that makes it a leftist diatribe…THIS is what makes peeps like you marginal. Absolutely no way to have a rational adult conversation.
Mar 8, 2012
True cuz she would be seeing more than alaska. LOL!
Mar 8, 2012
Hypocrisy…..hmmmm………This is the same Sarah Palin that was outraged when someone used the word retarded but when Rush used the word retarded, she said it was ok…….Replubicans claim to be good christians and high on morals but everytime they do something, its always the lefts fault………pathetic.
Mar 8, 2012
haha! I don't see anywhere in Sam's comment that says he hates women. AND it is pretty clear that the article was biased and saturated with sarcasm. I'm not a huge Rush fan and I find him to be a little theatrical. BUT the thing that drives me really bananas is how certain Democrats keep saying that Republicans have a "war against women!" How ridiculous.
Mar 8, 2012
If anyone can identify with selling themselves for money, it is definitely Sarah! Palin is the ultimate political strip-tease, thrusting and rubbing her self all over a White House column. The dollars rain down and she gives them another sneak peek at what’s under that dress. See just how nasty America’s Top MILF will get for the cash at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/06/ecstasy-of-sarah-palin_15.html.

Third-year law student Sandra Fluke never said any such thing. Limbaugh, probably wallowing in his own creepy sexual fantasies, is the one who made that ridiculous statement. Looking at your profile pic, surely you are old enough not to take everything Limbaugh says as gospel?
Mar 14, 2012
Sarah is a moron. Remember how upset she was when the media drug her through the mud? In fact, I am pretty sure her and her OF AGE daughter was referred to as something similar to a slut (Dave Letterman)……and she was on a rampage about it. Funny how she defends free speech when it is her political party talking. The hypocrisy of politicians is glaring….and they have done their jobs admirably. The "right" and the "left" are at each others throats over trivial stuff, while they laugh all the way to the bank. Keep drinking the kool aid, idiots.
Mar 16, 2012
Sam….Obviously you only get your news and therefore perspective from listening to Rush. And Sarah Palin should NOT involve herself in any discussion regarding contraceptive. She should have made sure her daughter was using something when she was in HS. Maybe she wouldn't have that baby out of wedlock.
Mar 16, 2012
Gee and poor Sarah doesn't like it when people in the media call her names. Well here, I will help her out. Bill Mahar was right you are the "C" word. Get a grip you stupid woman. That young woman was not saying anything about getting paid for having sex. Perhaps if insurance had paid for birth control, your daughter might not have been a teen statistic. This woman is a waste of space.
Mar 16, 2012
The problem is Sarah Palin and with our good friend Rush, is that they can't read and only listen when it's convenient. He apologized because he was losing money. And Sarah Palin should apologize just for existing. Wait, there is no excuse for a Sarah Palin. She's just plain worthless.
Mar 20, 2012
wait…wait…I just read where her daughter was bitching about Obama not comming to her aid as he did with the Fluke woman But her mother is defending Mr. Limbaugh…HOW SCREW UP IS THIS FAMILY?
Mar 20, 2012
Wow, it amazes me how people are today, left and right both, Rush was wrong for calliing that young lady such awful names,,, AND Bill Maher was sooooo wrong making fun of Sara Palins children (especially that beautiful baby). But for some reason one is acceptable and the other is not. PEOPLE WAKE UP! And lets get rid of them all and start over!
Mar 20, 2012
your just as nasty as everyone claims Rush to be,,,,your mother needs to slap your dirty mouth
Mar 20, 2012
The C-word really? From another women? Shame on you
Mar 20, 2012
Angela O'Dell Go kiss her stupid, fat ass if you love her so much you stupid looser
Mar 20, 2012
was you born an idiot or do you have to work at it.
Mar 20, 2012
Angela O'Dell Bill Maher said it, not me, but if the shoe fits, perhaps she should wear it. She is judging this young woman without knowing her, when she herself has done the same and she is agreeing with that uptight pompass ass. Defending her by shaming me will not work. I call it like a see it and I agreed, I did not actually say it.
Mar 20, 2012
What planet are you on? She was advocating that insurance pay for birth control you moron. Not you! Every right wing dumb ass who listens to Rush is convinced that she wants the government to pay for it. NO, she wants insurance to pay for it. You know that stuff you pay out of your check every week. Something individuals pay for and don't get good coverage?
Mar 20, 2012
This is a good point, but wishful thinking. I have long since said. Get rid of the parties and LIMIT terms for congress and senate to 8 years. The President has a limit, they should too. Career politicians are the problem, old ideas, new century.
Mar 20, 2012
Couldnt agree more
Mar 22, 2012
Angela O'Dell your defense of Palin's defense of Limbaugh puts you in the unenviable conundrum of having to criticize women using sexist language while defending a woman defending a male using sexist language towards women. To be fair, Rush was describing a class of women. He's basically saying a woman is a slut for using contraception if the taxpayer foots the bill. He ridiculously distorts the meaning of "being paid for sex" in order to apply graphic and offensive terms to Fluke and her ilk. The difference between Maher and Rush is obvious. Maher made a colorful joke about a personality and moved on. Rush spent three days of his program with over 70 reference to sex addicted women, having constant sex, all the time sex, so much sex they can't afford it. Maher has disdain for one woman in this case, Bristal. Rush on the other hand is calling a lot of women out there "sluts" and then admitting s to calling them this based on a very stretched definition of "for pay sex." When you listen to Maher you don't immediately think "wow this guy has a problem with women". Listen to Rush on the other hand and it's clear enough that for him, a woman using birth control under an insurance program is enough to prove she's a "ho." I can tell you Angela that if I went around espousing this point of view to the women in my life I'd be in big trouble. And, may I ask, where is Rush's animosity towards the men who have all this endless sex with women. The women, after all, are benefiting the men through their use of contraceptives by protecting the male form two decades of child support payments. Aren't they "sluts" too…oh wait….they would be "deadbeat sluts" or "deadbeat male prostitutes" since they don't even put down on the co-pay. In other words even in Rush's universe when the slutty girl buys government subsidized contraceptives and takes them, she's taking them both for herself and the slutty prostitute guy she's sleeping with. Rush's misogyny is apparent from his total lack of calling out the male ho's too. Women are probably outraged by this than they are on an attack on one woman. Rush finds himself in the unenviable position of having to argue that Bristol Palin is not a slut only because she failed to use subsidized contraceptives. With Rush it's not so much whether or not you spread your legs as it is who pays at the pharmacy. Brilliant! Rush betrays his total disdain and disgust for women by describing them as sluts based solely on the criteria of whether they use government subsidized birth control. Moreover, listen to the voices of the two men. It is clear that Maher, right or wrong, is directing his humorous barbs at one person, over the unique circumstance of that person. Rush, on the other hand, spews venomous disgust at women based whether or not they take contraceptives paid for by insurance or government subsidy Moreover, it is not clear as to whether Rush would apply this epithet to a woman who paid for her own birth control but continued to have constant sex. To many many many women that is not far or distinguishable from just plain venomous disgust towards women. In other words you may be able to show that Bill Maher shows disgusts to isolated women, but Rush Limbaugh shows disgusts to all women who dare to mimic the sexual promiscuity of most men, especially when he fails to take note of the men who are having sex with all these nympho co-eds.

Once again she really should not talk in public…..liberal attack on women…really sarah is that all you can come up with….oh yeah right, I forgot this is you talking uncensored…with you usual bla bla bla….
Jun 7, 2012
What planet are you from…obs one I dont want to visit…or if those like you have your way, am forced to go to….and I am so glad you had to be disappointed in Rush, after all he is an Idiot…..
Jun 7, 2012
diane – Flake said that it cost 3000 bucks a year for her and her friends to get contracetption. Rubbers cost about a buck – you figure it out. Limbaugh is not perfect, but he is right about 95% of the time. He is a patriot and a hero. Third year law student Flake should get a job, although she prob is not capable of doing real work.
Jun 7, 2012
Thelma Nelson Dont get mad at me because the truth hurts. There are far too many leftist goons out there, and I would appreciate it if you'd stop following them like sheep.
Jun 7, 2012
I do not stand for either political party. I stand by people and what they represnt. THAT BEING SAID: if Sarah Palin would pay attention to her OWN CHILDREN and not worry about the rest of the fucking world, maybe her daughter wouldn't have been knocked up in high school. I WAS 18 AND PREGNANT SO I HAVE A RIGHT TO SPEAK MY MIND ON THIS BECAUSE I ACTUALLY KNOW ABOUT HAVING CHILDREN OUT OF WEDLOCK! although, my mom was busy raising my one year old sister when I was 18, and not trying to patrol the world, or the state.
Jun 17, 2012
damn, when did you start getting all political? Anyway keep it up, politics is the art of controlling your environment as you may know
Jun 18, 2012
never really been political. but you can only keep your mouth shut for so long. i don't want my children to end up being slaves to some rich white guy.
