Live like a prince, patronize to the proles like one.
I’ve disagreed with him before. I’ve made fun of him at times (yeah, read the post and enjoy all the graphics), despite agreeing more often than not. But this time, last Friday, he totally screwed the pooch.
Here’s the link: We’re Just Days Away from the Start of the NFL Season and We’re Talking About Domestic Violence Penalties. Despicable. I won’t quote it out of context. You’ve got to read the whole thing. Apparently, love for the NFL supersedes all.
It’s rare that he misses the point completely. This time he did. Domestic violence is not a joke, a PR cause, or an excuse to blame liberal media.
Men who beat women are the lowest of the low. Even if there are crazy women in your life who ask to be abused, who demand to be smacked, it’s the man’s responsibility to end the relationship. There’s never ANY excuse for it. That’s part of what being a man is. Mostly, it’s men who cross the line and one hell of a lot of them do. I have no use for the “lifestyle” argument. Broken jaws, eye sockets, noses, ribs, arms, and legs are counterbalanced by Maseratis and grossly over-decorated McMansions? Screw you.
This is an all-time low point of the Rush Limbaugh Show.
I’m posting this before his show starts today. I’m hoping for the rarest thing in talk radio, a full blown Rush apology.
I’m not hopeful.
P.S. Coincidentally, Rush wasn’t on air today. Maybe this will all blow over. Maybe he isn’t a dick Steelers fan to the exclusion of all else. Maybe.
I’m very tired, you know.

Come on, fellas. Don’t fall silent. When the Big Guy screws up you got to Man Up.

I agree with you. Rush is a media pioneer but does step in it from time to time (and not in a “taken out of context” way). No excuse for men to hit women. Period.
On a related note, sad to hear of the national tragedy that was Michael Sam being cut from the Rams. I didn’t even want to get out of bed this morning. Maybe the Nat’l Labor Relations Board can force the Rams to let him start? That’s the only solution I can think of.

That’s a nullification comment. Won’t allow it. In some communities, one in five women are beaten. Latest figures from the CDC are that 1.6 percent of men are gay. Give it up. I’ve suggested similar figures for ten years.
But the rate at which women are beaten and abused is awful.

I was just kidding about Michael Sam. Wasn’t kidding about beating women. Don’t think this segment of Rush was amusing. Never had any desire to hit a girl nor do I associate with anyone who does (that I know of). Had one female friend I suspected was getting knocked around. Asked her repeatedly if that was the case and each time she swore it wasn’t.
Meanwhile, I’m sure you’ve heard the latest from the land of tolerance known as the United Kingdom. The 1200 or so poor girls who were wards of the state getting worked into a prostitution ring by Muslims while their holy gov’t protectors looked the other way. And the whistleblower has to attend diversity training? Willing to bet the whistleblower will also turn up dead one of these days, Theo van Gogh style.
That war on women is getting more popular around the globe, but it ain’t being fueled by Republicans.
