Limbaugh To Convene A ‘Female Summit’ To Figure Out Why Women Hate Him
Oh Barf, vomit! :puke:



"Women don’t really like Rush Limbaugh. On Feb. 23, Public Policy Polling released findings showing that only 37 percent of women hold a favorable opinion of the hate radio host, compared to 56 percent of men.

As Jill Zimon notes, Limbaugh brought up this poll yesterday on his radio show, noting that it was one of the largest gender gaps Public Policy Polling has seen on any issue it has polled in the past year. His solution? To convene a summit of women to find out why they dislike him:

We’ll have a summit of all the women in this audience — or as many of them as we can get into breakout groups — and perhaps devote an hour in an upcoming program to calls only from women who genuinely want to talk to me. They can be liberal, conservative. They could be non-audience members, could be audience members. But I want some of these women to start telling me what it is I must do to close the gender gap — or, if not what it is I must do to close the gender gap, what it is I’ve done that has caused the gender gap; assuming the gender gap is true and that the poll is true. <…>

I own the men, and what must I do now to own women? And who better to ask than women? Including some of those who may agree that that I’m unfavorable. So stand by for that."

He owns men?????

1. "We're just not that into draft-dodging Republicon drug abusers." - Women
Edited on Thu Feb-26-09 09:18 AM by SpiralHawk
"What we like is men with integrity and honor.

"You know Rush, 'ass pimple' is a totally lame way for a big-time, $38-million-a-year Republicon propagandist to get a military deferment and thereby weasel out of service to America, and drug abuse is, um, less than charming to most of us Entities of the Female Persuasion.

"So Rush, you and the other Republicon Homelanders who want America to fail, should go get a frikkin clue."

28. Instead of pulling a J. Edgar Hoover / John Wayne the rest of his life
why doesn't he just open the closet door and come on out? Seriously, that would shake what's left of the foundation of the gop if anything would. Answered my own question I see.

14. Mary Lynn Rajskub?
Chloe from 24.

They briefly dated.

Briefly.

Mary Lynn now claims that she has NO interest in politics whatsoever. She usually says so while shaking like a wet chihuahua. (PTSD is a funny thing.)

--d!
Dave Cross and Jon Brion were much better choices.

8. First thing - wanting to "own" women is incredibly offensive
That right there wraps up why I hate him.

He thinks he owns people because they agree to hate who he tells them to hate.

Despicable.

15. I'm having a harder and harder time telling what's an Onion headline,
and the straight news.


See if this can help to explain the gap:

"Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream."

"Let me leave you with a thought that honestly summarizes my sentiments: I love the women’s movement- especially when I am walking behind it."

"The term (feminazi) describes any female who is intolerant of any point of view that challenges militant feminism. I often use it to describe women who are obsessed with perpetuating a modern-day holocaust: abortion."

-Rush Limbaugh

Or he could just ask one of his of his three ex-wives.

And I really resent the idea (even if only entertained in his narcoleptic mind) that 'he owns men'. Fuck that. You don't own me.

when he slings this shit at women. No wonder he's got female trouble.

16. Simple...Invite All His Ex-Wives...
I'm sure they'll gladly tell him and all of us why he's such a big, fat turd.

What a lying piece of bullshit...Rushbo not only KNOWS he has a predominately male audience, he's marketed to it. He was put on the radio to counterprogram woman's formats and programming. They purposely put his show on during middays to avoid having to compete during the tougher drive-times and because there was a perceived void of male-oriented programming in that "daypart".

It all goes to the bottom line of the patrician nature of the GOOPs. When Rushbo first started bloviating 20 years ago, there were virtually no women in the GOOP...and those who were "knew their place". He appeals to a woman that ceased to exist when Harriet Nelso took off her apron.

...I'm sure he's heard many, many times---through his ex wives---why he is an abomination.

He's disgusting to look at, and to listen to.

I mean really, what's to like?

22. Did they all divorce him?
Or did he just have them sign pre-nups and divorce them right before the sunset clause thereby ridding him of further financial exposure. I don't know, sounds like a pig move he might make.

24. I listened to his "summit" yesterday...
Edited on Thu Feb-26-09 10:23 AM by rvablue
and it was ridiculous.

He spent 20 minutes demanding that no transgendered people could call. Only women born as women.

All I could think was does he really think he has any stake in the transgendered market? :silly:

Then, women began to call in and criticize him. All he did was laugh at them, scoff at their remarks, deny that he is belittling to women and call them names.

I'm having a good time, actually, listening in a little every week. The man is seriously either drunk or on drugs when he is on the air. He slurs, sputters, goes off on tangents and is constantly self-congratulating himself on how all-knowing, powerful and smart he is.

Yesterday was fun, because women would call up and say "I believe in what you believe, but I don't listen to you because:"

1) You look down on others as less smart as you

2) You ridicule women too much

3) You use sexist terms to refer to women.

Those are just some of the complaints. He ended up telling one woman that she was a "menace to society" for not listening to him. But I enjoyed him having to take direct criticism, which he never allows. At times he sounded as if he might start crying.

Pigboy believes in his cult of personality. And in defending it, he only further insulted potential female listeners.

Who must they have been polling to find "37 percent of women" and "56 percent of men" with favorable opinions of him?
Oh, and Rush, liberals don't want to talk to you, they just want you off the air.

42. Do you hear that Dittohead Men, he owns you. How does it feel being owned?
Are you required to check your own critical thinking skills at the door until Limbaugh tells you how to think?

Do you only become enraged or angry when Rushy poo tells you to?

Does reading or researching give you a headache, thus making it much easier for you to allow someone with a comforting voice on the radio to study reality for you?

Does masculinity mean looking down on someone weaker or being afraid of someone stronger to you?

These and other questions are begging to be answered.
