| Fox News - Monica Crowley |
The polite response to the news that someone's become engaged is to offer them your congratulations.
But if you're a Fox News pundit it's apparently just an opportunity to engage in some junior-high level hate speech.
Responding to the news that Sandra Fluke, the woman Rush Limbaugh recently called a 'slut' and a 'prostitute,' has become engaged to her boyfriend, Fox New's Monica Crowley dashed to her Twitter feed yesterday to snipe: 'To a man?'
From first painting Fluke as a nymphomaniac man-eater who wanted America to pay for her birth control, the right are now apparently insinuating she is a lesbian.
Slut, prostitute, lesbian? It's as though the leaders of conservative thought can't get beyond the catch calls and hate speech of junior high.

When challenged by the public for her blatantly homophobic tweet yesterday, Crowley denied she was insinuating that Fluke might be gay. But in what other context can her tweet be understood? Her 'To a man?' crack panders to the worst stereotypes amongst conservatives that any avowed feminist who is nobody's doormat must be a lesbian.
Meanwhile Limbaugh was on another woman-bashing tirade of his own yesterday calling the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton 'just a secretary.' The sexist implications were clear to all. You would think that at this point the leaders of Republican thought would think better of waging the war on women, but instead they continually reload.
Fluke has mopped the floor with every major conservative figure who has attempted to demagogue her. Crowley would have been wiser to keep her junior high level homophobia to herself. Her hateful tweet was beneath her. She should apologize to the nation's LGBT community.

I think her comment "to a man" was appropriate and was in no way suggesting that she was a lesbian. What man would want to marry that promiscuous tramp...?

Come on I.C. you're really, really reaching with this item. But then again Liberal media is the personification of "reaching" to smear Conservative folks.

In the real world that most of us are from are not in the realm of Crowley,O'Reilly, Shultze, Or Oberman. But which of these is the least offensive?I don't know. I do not claim that calling someone a slut is humor. I do not claim that calling someone a prostitute is humor, I do not claim that calling someone a lesbian is humor, but I do claim that I am a human being, that I have the Inalienable right to life, liberty, and property, and I will defend those rights for myself, and the sluts,prostitutes, and lesbians who are my fellow citizens until all my freedoms are extinguished.

Briano claims Crowley 'apologised Profusely' because she was forced to by the"Thin skinned left"
Sounds like a very "thin" excuse to me.She was wrong and admitted so she plead guilty as charged.

You claimed that this article was 'obvious in its hatred' but you never offered proof, BrianO. You claim that when conservatives call women 'sluts' 'prostitutes' or 'lesbians' it's humor. But you claim it's a grave insult when a liberal comedian does likewise. Your claims don't carry water, but you do for the GOP, BrianO.

Actually Susan, I’m an Independent and watch MSNBC and FOXNEWS. I can tell you they’re both biased with MSNBC leaning completely left and Foxnews leaning completely right. So what? I’ve always found that pepople that resort to name calling and insults during a discussion are the ones lacking in some areas…. By the way most of these studies and polls that are done are biased as well. In case you didn’t already know that..

Why do you think Limbaugh is the head of the GOP? Yhe GOP or republican party is a political Party. Mr. Limbaugh is a conservative commentator, Conservative with the U.S. use of the term. You might find out that not all LGBT are liberal. I think Rush has a great sense of humor and can be quite comedic, by your logic he is absolved of any offense. Miss crowley apologized because she has been bullied by the tolerant thin skinned left who will try to ruin her. She probably also apologized because she has never before been attached to any controversy and has learned her lesson to never poke fun at a liberal icon. I am considering becoming a liberal then I can demean and insult anyone and think myself superior for doing so.

Maher is a comedian, he's not a politician or political pundit - unlike Limbaugh, he's certainly not the head of the GOP nor does he speak for it. That's a false analogy. You're scraping the barrel. Crowley yesterday apologized for her hateful comment, but not to the LGBT community, so she still has no class.

Still waiting for Obama to give back the 1,000,000 dollars he was given by the c**t,b***,reta**, stating Maher, as they say money talks, and of course he not like the others.

The kind of people who would listen to Rush Limbaugh probably believe his 'sponcers' have increased. The rest of us, not so much. MSNBC suspended Ed Shultz for his appalling comment but Limbaugh certainly didn't take a time out did he?
