Oink Limbaugh is a hot cup of fail drizzled in fail sauce. Honestly. He may be one of the most vile people on the planet.
You see, Rush Limbaugh has a bug up his ass about the National Organization for Women or “NAGs” as he likes to call it (because National Organization of Gals is so hilarious LOL.) NOW, in concert with the Stop Rush movement has been sticking it to Limbaugh where it hurts — his pocketbook. As a result, Oink has gone into panic mode. As sponsor after sponsor pulled their ads from his show, Rush was forced to call in a crisis manager to help him undo the mess he got himself into when he went on a three day-rant about Sandra Fluke, attacking her in the most disgusting and vile manner possible (and then trying to scrub it from the internets, to no avail of course). Rush thought if he just waited it out, the fervor would die down because what’s the big deal? He’s always been foul and disgusting, right?
Right. That’s true — he has always been foul and disgusting. But had he ever gone on a three day rant against a private citizen the way he did back in March? Just in case you’ve forgotten, let’s take a walk down fuckery lane, shall we? From John Cole:
Rush Limbaugh spent three days calling some unknown law student a slut and a prostitute. Not once. Not twice. Not three times. Fifty-three times, to be exact:
1) “testifies she’s having so much sex she can’t afford her own birth control pills and she agrees that Obama should provide them, or the Pope”
2) “they’re having so much sex they can’t afford the birth control pills!”
3) “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.”
4) “Sandra Fluke. So much sex going on, they can’t afford birth control pills.”
March 1, 2012:
5) “You’d call ‘em a slut, a prostitute”
6) “she’s having so much sex”
7) “are having so much sex that they’re going broke”
8) “they want to have sex any time, as many times and as often as they want, with as many partners as they want”
9) “the sexual habits of female law students at Georgetown”
10) “are having so much sex that they’re going broke”
11) “having so much sex that it’s hard to make ends meet”
12) “four out of every ten co-eds are having so much sex that it’s hard to make ends meet”
13) “Now, what does that make her? She wants us to buy her sex.”
14) “to pay for these co-eds to have sex”
15) “she and her co-ed classmates are having sex nearly three times a day for three years straight, apparently these deadbeat boyfriends or random hookups that these babes are encountering here, having sex with nearly three times a day”
16) “Therefore we are paying her to have sex. Therefore we are paying her for having sex.”
17) “Have you ever heard of not having sex so often?”
18) “Ms. Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here’s the deal: If we are going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it. And I’ll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch.”
19) “we want something in return, Ms. Fluke: And that would be the videos of all this sex posted online so we can see what we are getting for our money.”
20) “’If we’re paying for this, it makes these women sluts, prostitutes.’ And what else could it be?”
21) “essentially says that she must be paid to have sex. What does that make her? It makes her a slut, right?”
22) “I’m having sex so damn much, I’m going broke.”
23) “She’s having so much sex that she’s going broke! There’s no question about her virtue.”
24) “having so much sex she’s going broke at Georgetown Law.”
25) “Here’s a woman exercising no self-control. The fact that she wants to have repeated, never-ending, as often as she wants it sex — given.”
26) “She’s having so much sex it’s amazing she can still walk, but she made it up there.”
27) “Maybe they’re sex addicts.”
28) “to pay for her to have sex all the time.”
29) “she wants the rest of us to pay for her sex.”
30) “She wants all the sex that she wants all the time paid for by the rest of us.”
31) “Here this babe goes before Congress and wants thousands of dollars to pay for her sex.”
32) “a woman who is happily presenting herself as an immoral, baseless, no-purpose-to-her-life woman.”
33) “She wants all the sex in the world, whenever she wants it, all the time.”
34) “If this woman wants to have sex ten times a day for three years, fine and dandy.”
35) “to provide women from Georgetown Law unlimited, no-consequences sex.”
36) “so she can have unlimited, no-consequences sex.”
37) “You want to have all the sex you want all day long, no consequences, no responsibility for your behavior”
38) “The woman wants unlimited, no-responsibility, no-consequences sex, and she wants it with contraceptives paid for by us.”
March 2, 2012:
39) “she’s having so much sex, she can’t afford her birth control pills anymore.”
40) “she’s having so much sex, she can’t pay for it — and we should.”
41) “She’s having so much sex, she can’t afford it.”
42) “this, frankly hilarious claim that she’s having so much sex (and her buddies with her) that she can’t afford it.”
43) “And not one person says, ‘Well, did you ever think about maybe backing off the amount of sex that you have?’”
44) “Does she have more boyfriends? Ha! They’re lined up around the block.”
45) “It was Sandra Fluke who said that she was having so much sex, she can’t afford it.”
46) “By her own admission, in her own words, Sandra Fluke is having so much sex that she can’t afford it.”
47) “they’re having a lot of sex for which they need a lot of contraception.”
48) “Her sex life is active and she’s having sex so frequently that she can’t afford all the birth control pills that she needs.”
49) “who admits to having so much sex that she can’t afford it anymore.”
50) “she’s having so much sex, she can’t pay for it.”
51) “As frequently as she has sex and to not be pregnant, she’s obviously succeeding in contraception.”
52) “Ms. Fluke, asserts her right to free contraceptive, to handle her sex life — and it’s, by her own admission, quite active.” …
53) “Ms. Fluke, who bought your condoms in junior high? Who bought your condoms in the sixth grade, or your contraception?”
Oink tried to get off the hook with a pitiful apology in which he said he was sorry for using ” the two words” (“slut” and “prostitute.”) Well, which two words, asshole? That’s what I’m still waiting to find out.
Rush Limbaugh isn’t sorry about his Fluke rant. He’s simply sorry that it has caused him so much trouble. He’s sorry that Sandra Fluke has proven to be a woman of inimitable grace and courage. He’s sorry that her courage has prompted others to step up in an effort to demonstrate that the sort of sexist and racist vitriol which he spews on the regular will not be tolerated. He’s sorry that regular citizens are, to be blunt, fucking up his program.
He doesn’t care about women, be they conservative or hirsute feminazis. Women are nothing but objects to him. Creatures that have “sexy jiggles” and who are there to serve Rush Limbaugh’s perverted misogynist fantasies of what women are.
He’s a misogynist jackass. Period. And people are finally starting to notice.
So, in order to shore up support for himself, Oink Limbaugh has decided to counter us librul feminazis with MOAR MISOGYNIST JACKASSERY. From Mediaite:
Rush Limbaugh has launched a new online campaign geared toward the ever-discussed demographic of women. “Rush Babes for America” is dedicated to “the millions of conservative women who know what they believe in: family, American values, and not being told by faux feminist groups how to think.”
Limbaugh explained:
“As you know, sometime later this month, the femi-Nazis are going to be working with Media Matters for America and kicking off some giant program, some coordinated plan, to have me taken off the air under the premise that women hate this program, and that this program is an unfriendly environment for women, and that this program laughs at, impugns, makes fun of women.”
He further noted that many women are “fed up” with hearing that Republicans want to take away their birth control. In his opinion, this group is filling a void left by other women’s groups. Other groups “claim to represent all women, and in reality they represent a tiny number of highly-agitated activist types — basically miserable and unhappy women, for whatever reason,” Limbaugh said. “And they’ve turned them into liberal activists and agitators and community organizers.”His group, he said, is a “contrast” to NAGs (National Organization for Gals) and NOW (National Organization for Women).
I’ll wait while you stop laughing.
Big whoop, Rush. You have a bunch of women suffering from Stockholm Syndrome and/or trolls that you’ve created under cover of night to become part of your “Rush’s Babe” fanbase. Hooray! Now go have some pudding. No one is impressed.
Bottom Line: Oink Limbaugh is ridiculous. He’s an embarrassment. Even his fourth wife seems to think he’s a dick. When I picture Limbaugh (and if my brain doesn’t immediately vomit at the image), I picture him sitting naked on the floor smearing feces all over his face.
Seriously.
I mean, Look at the Facebook banner:
I’ve seen trucknuts with more class.

At first I read it as ‘Bush Babies for Rush’ and thought Rush was going all sweet and cuddly environmentalist.

I guess the concept of hordes of Rush Babes was even a more absurd concept.
I assume most of the Rush Babes who sign up are a fifth column of some kind.
Which brings to mind, can I sign up? I can come up with lots of inspiring comments for Rush’s campaign.
Litlebritdifrnt
My guess is that most Rush “Babes” are white, wrinkly, 70 years old and in early onset Alzheimers. Also, too, I went over to the page and there is a brilliant woman “Karol Ann Becker” bravely posting every anti-Rush comments from all of the talk show hosts. She is doing the FSM’s work over there.
ETA ironically there is an appeal on the front page for donations to a girl who is deathly ill and needs medical treatment for flesh eating bacteria. If we had Universal Health Care they wouldn’t need the fucking donations.
Teddy's Person
Yes, because calling women “babes” is a family and an American value we can all be proud of. The fact that some conservative women will be proud to be “Rush Babes” makes me throw-up in my mouth a little.
Brian R.
I thought the “Rush Babes” were all his underage sex workers in the Dominican Republic?

@Teddy’s Person: A little? You must have some intestinal fortitude. I can throw up half my body weight just hearing the two words Rush Babes.

He’s trying to do that thing that conservatives do where they say “their women” are hot and feminine, unlike liberal women, who are all hairy lezbos. But also sex-crazed man-traps, because, um, feminism, or something.

I can’t stand the man either, but your last link does lead to a National Enquirer article. I do have to take it with a grain of salt.
My guess is that his female listenership is nil. This “Rush Babe ” nonsense is a ploy to build that listenership and maybe he signed up Angie’s List with the promise that they will attempt to bolster that area. I have already politely emailed Angie’s List and voiced my displeasure in their ad placement choices. (This was diaried yesterday at Kos.)

Good ole Limpballs desperately counts on the fact that being a pathologic liar isn’t a felony and the only way to honestly deal with one, is.
It’s easy to declare yourself the winner of the fight when your metric is how bloody you’ve made your opponent’s knuckles.

ABL, I don’t think you get to pass comedic judgment on anyone if you’re going to run with “Oink Limbaugh”.

I wrote a really scathing letter to “Angie’s List” because they are now advertising on his show. I pointed out that the Angie’s List brand was dependent on the notion that ordinary housewives were sharing information about reliable (often male) workers and services for their homes. Rush Limbaugh is associated with the most vile misogyny imaginable. The extreme sexism and bigotry of his approach to women in general is going to taint a brand which is marketed to women and supposedly represents their interests as consumers. Personally there is no way I would let a Rush Limbaugh style person in my house for any reason, let alone to fix an appliance or to do any kind of business with me. [Interestingly I jus t met an interesting woman who supports herself doing housepainting. She said there was a signficant niche market of women who really don’t like having male workman in their houses unsupervised, or supervised. Just too much contempt for women and generalized sexual hostility.]

ABL,
I clicked on the RBfA banner in your post. I thought maybe it would zoom to a larger size. I wanted a better look at it. However, I got this message instead.
“Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.”
My next thought was what a delightful irony and then my next thought was “Is ABL making a subtle point?

My sister is a 31-year-old mother of two young girls who, unsurprisingly, became a fan of that page as soon as it launched. She also believes that she should “belong to a church that makes her feel like she’s not good enough.”

“Rush Babes” is an oxymoron. It’s just a bonus that I love using that word to describe anything to do with Rushbo, the Oxy-Contin addicted moron. I hope everyone keeps the pressure up on Angie’s List. He will eventually dig this hole so deep he can’t climb out of it.
FlipYrWhig
@Violet: Yeah, I think that’s what’s going on. Because of the post’s title, every attempted comment includes a blacklisted WordPress word and hence fails to post.

I went and looked at the page. A good percentage of the likes and comments are from men. Two of my wingnut friends have liked the page – they are both male.

@Carrie: I had a friend who worked at a ticket office who surprised to see a bunch of old and middle age people wanting to buy a ticket to a Rush concert thinking it was Limpballs(this is when Limpballs was doing his Rush to excellence tours back in the early 90’s)He many a time arguing with the old farts this was not Limpballs but was told to shut up and give them the tickets. Funny some tried to sue the ticket office for fraud because instead of all American Jeff Christie, it was a bunch of dope smoking FM types rocking to Tom Sawyer!

@efgoldman:
It might be worth noting if they were network spots or bought from the local station. Did they run at the top of the stop set or near the end? How was the audio quality (local spots often sound brighter)? If they were local spots, were they bought run of day or by the daypart? (If it was run of day that means they bought x spots per day that run when there’s an avail and didn’t specify/pay extra for that show.)

@Birthmarker: No, no, it’s real. It has a FB page. There was gloating because it had more “likes” than NOWs page. So I rushed right over to NOW and “liked” the page.
I like NOW anyway, so it wasn’t a stretch, but bonus points to thumb my nose at Fatboi.

True, but Angie’s List released a statement defending their advertising on his show.

@MattMinus: Oink Limbaugh is very tame in comparison to what, say, Bill Hicks called him. And all of it is thoroughly deserved.

Thank you Balloon Juice. I had no idea Angie’s List was advertising on Limbaugh. I was literally just about to sign up to research a big windows contract our condo association is doing. Instead I sent them an email and will stick with Washington Consumer Checkbook. The President of our Board thinks Angie’s List is all made up and rigged anyway. Now I’m sure he’s right.

I just cancelled my Angie’s List subscribtion.
