Rush Limbaugh makes another jibe at female contraception over Secret Service scandal

If you dont want to pay for other peoples contraception, youre gonna end up paying for their abortions or for their welfare. Its a small price to pay.

get this BIG LOUD MOUTH OFF THE AIR, PLEASE.....i'm sick of seeing and hearing this fool. alisa

fiddlinvet, It takes two to require contraception, the 2 partners involved in the deed can split the cost. Why should the tax payer have to pay without any of the benefit.

Just because a male chauvinist pig like Mr. Limbaugh does not want to buy condoms (OMG, that would be killing sperm, i.e. babies)does not mean he has a right to put all the onus of contraception on women.... this just as an aside.

geneq-miss fluke is a self proclaimed activist, it is this activism that enabled her to become an "expert". She is also not a 23 year old college student but a 30 years old women's rights activist who picked out georgetown university to fight them over their policies.

rpmschevy -- It appears you've been drinking the Republican kool-aid. Ms Fluke's testimony had nothing to do with her own sexual activities. She discussed the cases of fellow students, including one who was denied insurance coverage for contraceptive medication medically prescribed for non-contraceptive use. As for Limbaugh's Viagra, how do you know he paid for them? The pills were confiscated from his baggage because the prescription label on the bottle was for a third party, not Limbaugh.

wjb1tex, you're right he shouldn't have referred to Limbaugh as the portly pundit. He should have referred to him as the deaf, stoned and portly pundit.

Another Irish Central liberal blogger (yes it says staff writer, but a true journalist does not interject personal opinion, but reports. Obviously this dear Dara failed journalism course on reporting). Note I do not listen to Limbaugh, but when I read such poorly written articles such as this, sometimes one needs to post back. 1 - What does his weight have to do with anything? Dara you have a phobia for overweight people who are smarter than yourself? Did you know weight issues are often caused by certain other health issues? 2 - Unlike Fluke who thinks I and the rest of society should have to pay for her sexual activities, Limbaugh and his quantity of Viagra pills were paid by him. Yes maybe, like the rest of his through our insurance plans. I am sure he paid for the other form of protection by our good friends at Trojan, himself, no tax payer funds required. 3 - Limbaugh partying in the DR, so freaking what. It was not on the taxpayers dime. That is the big difference here. If he wants to have sex with prostitutes in a country where it is not necessarily illegal, then it is a moral issue. Report and keep your opinions out, or change your byline to note that it is an editorial. DO not act like you are reporting. Your HATE is so evident. Quit hating overweight people.

The issue is not whether women have the right to contraceptives. The question is whether we should all be paying for it. There is no question we should not be paying for condoms. Also interesting that you describe Limbaugh as the "Portly Pundit" Why throw in his weight? You are described as an IrishCentral staff writer. Perhaps if you publish a picture we may come up with a more apt description along the lines of your description of Limbaugh.

negative influences like the Bill of Rights, the U.S. Constitution, individual freedom, and opportunity to strive to be the best.

@McNamara31, I have to agree that Americans have certainly become polarized and there is too much vitriol coming from too many people - liberals and conservatives. With the 2 sides firmly entrenched, very little gets accomplished. Where are the moderates who are willing to compromise for the good of the entire country? There seems to be nothing but fear, hate, anger, and ridicule coming from too many "windbags" on both sides. I wish they'd all just Shut Up.

Karl Rove, Roger Ailes and Rush Limbaugh make up the “unholy trinity” of the GOP. Rove strategizes, Ailes produces, and Limbaugh is their official mouthpiece on a national scale. How anyone could listen to the “manufactured smear” by these three, and not see they are representing corporate interests, is beyond me. Limbaugh moves his audience with negative inference, bigotry and political paranoia. They have divided the United States by creating a perceptual “separate universe” of fear based on a calculated political strategy that Obama is to be feared and not one of us; and sadly this message affects one of the largest voting groups, senior citizens, who are the largest listeners of Limbaugh and Ailes Fox News.
