The problem with a Santorum spoiler

Instead of cheering on a weak candidate, it’s better to vote responsibly

Actually, the government plan promotes religious freedom. Nobody is making anybody practice contraception. Instead, those who are against requiring plans to cover birth control are attempting to force their views on others.

But that's not what they want you to believe. Limbaugh, an admitted prescription drug abuser who has been divorced three times and once had illegal Viagra seized from his luggage, set a new slimeball record.

To his national Clear Channel audience, Limbaugh claimed that she "admits to having so much sex that she can't afford it anymore." Then, in an aside that says everything, he added "if we are going to pay for your contraceptives, we want something. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch."

In fact, Fluke was motivated in part by a friend who lost an ovary because of cysts that could have been treated with birth control pills, if she could have gotten them.

Afterward, even Speaker of the House John Boehner, a Republican, said Rush had gone too far. The best thing was the reaction of America's women, who, rather than get down in the slime with the scumbag, began hitting him where it hurt — going after his advertisers.

By the end of last week, Quicken Loans had suspended advertising on his program. Several other advertisers did the same. Rush was then pressured into a weasel-like phony apology, in which he said he was "sincerely" sorry about his choice of words. But then he repeated his rant about "recreational sexual activities."

The people who run Clear Channel, the largest chain of radio stations in the nation, care about one thing: money. 

But it is vitally important to keep the pressure up. Figure out who keeps this creature in business polluting the airwaves, and let them know they are losing your business. 

Sandra Fluke has clear grounds to sue the big fat idiot and his employer. By the way, what did our hero, Rick Santorum have to say about this? Just this: "You know, an entertainer can be absurd."

We know, Rick. We've been watching you.
