rush tell caller she has tampons in her ears
http://www.thedailybeast.com/?cid=tag:topnav:hp

Rush Limbaugh got a little overheated Thursday in his response to a caller who complained about his comments on Obama and Haiti. Here he is calling her a "blockhead" who has "tampons in her ears," because she isn't following his "piercing, penetrating logic."
--------------------

I have NEVER listened to his show, and I never will, but this quote caught my eye.

1. Maybe the dittoheads like that kind of talk
Or maybe it will snap some of them out of their trance to realize he has been leading them astray all these years.

But I would gamble that the lady promptly went to the bathroom and changed her tampons.

7. I sure wouldn't tell anyone they had tampons in their ears
Not anything any men that I associate with would tell a woman.

Edited on Fri Jan-15-10 08:25 AM by seabeyond
about tampon.

i call him out saying not just rw that say this sexist shit. SOME men on du do it too.

ergo.... i am man bashing?

i guess you are suggesting on a discussion board we are not allowed to point out contradiction or hypocrisy

and yes

i say that sexism is not only a republican thing, but a man thing.

should i continue to give examples of left men being sexist? or is that more man bashing

14. I'm not suggesting anything, I'm saying it's wrong to say "it's a man thing"
blaming all men for the actions of some.

And yes, when you say that it's a man thing, you are bashing men, and that's just as vile as bashing women.

22. rw thing with military. dem thing with helping poor. woman thing obsessed with looks
child thing to not think things thru. christian thing to be self righteous

i can go on and on. these things being said regularly and no one ignore what is actually being said and say.... you you you, you are bashing.....

but anytime there is a discussion on men behavior if there is not a clarification of SOME men, MANY men, A LOT OF men.... then inevitably a guy jumps on saying, .... you said ALL men. well no, i didn't. and this is used by A LOT of men to divert the subject at hand.

44. I'm guessing it was deleted because you tarred and feathered all men
not just those who happen to be sexist (which I agree, Limbaugh is as big a sexist pig as they get).

29. one would think if you are seriously outraged about having sexism pinned on you, you would address
the male being sexist. not attack the woman that called out further sexism. tell me, why, on every one of these posts it is the female calling out sexism that is addressed by the man saying NOT all men. but that man never says to his buddy, oh man... here you are perpetuating exactly what you are calling out. stop the sexism dude. you are giving all us a bad name.

i have YET to have a man address his fellow male in this argument. which leads me to SUGGEST that it is not sexism that bothers you.

30. Are you offended by the dittohead thing?
Because that is what the hard core limbaugh folk call themselves. I didn't invent the term.


The tampon thing and was strictly with reference to the dittohead and not female.

2. I typed as fast as I could while it happened:
The gaps in my listening-typing are due to my snapping synapses and the breakneck speed, but at least this shows I know wingnut heinousness when it bashes my cranium!1


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

Caller to LIMBOsevic, "Where in your right mind do you get off ..." (re: what he said about Haiti)

He, of course, attempted to sidetrack her because she first said he was "discouraging charitable donations to a catastrophe affecting 100,000 people." He interrupted her and asked where she heard he had "discouraged" donations. She said it was in the Huffington Post but that she wasn't calling about that and said she wants to finish her sentence.

"Why did you decide to say something brilliant about a tragedy affecting 100,000 people..."

He said he had "tweaked the media" and predicted that before everything was over he would be accused of having used the "light skinned Negro" phrase instead of REID.

She said she wan't calling about REID, that she was talking about HIM.

(He's holding her over, over the break)...


(After the break): "You are making a complete inane faceless point of politicizing a tragedy, and most of the time I'm absolutely DISGUSTED with you."

He: "Have you ever heard any Democrat politicizing a national disaster? OBAMA did that when he was senator, politicizing Katrina. You're not outraged about CLINTON's remark about OBAMA. You're a BLOCKHEAD, a closed minded BIGOT. I'm hitting you with (brilliance). You get it from HuffPo, Media Matters... To accuse me of politicizing things is to be IGNORANT. Instead you're BLOCKHEAD(sic). And so I've had enjoyment showing you (up). I grew up near Paduka, and if I'd have known you were there, I would have stayed there. I appreciate your holding...

Brilliance? He sure thinks highly of himself.

8. :He's Turned Into A Petulant 5-Year Old...
A daily tantrum by El Rushbo is all but expected these days...he's throwning a PR tantrum that keeps his name and venom on the cables and buzzing on the internets. He can no longer say "I don't like this" an has to go over the top to get the attention and to remain king of the haters...trying to outhate Dreck, Hannity and the others. He knows that the more outlandish and offensive shit that comes flying out of his piehole, the more attention he gets.

Of course it caught your eye...it was intended that way...and you bit.
