That is a very interesting point. I had not considered it before. It is interesting that as our society becomes more ‘tolerant’, it may just be that the hate goes underground. How then do we find it to address its roots? Interesting questions are raised. Thank you.

On hate speech: I don’t remember the exact reason, but I once wrote to the FCC to complain about Limbaugh (something relating to 2008 presidential campaign), and I was sent a form letter outlining what constitutes hate speech. I would argue that Limbaugh is hateful and harmful in that there are people out there who actually believe what he says. That is harmful in so many ways, not the least of which is harmful to Fluke’s reputation. But hey, I’m trying to be logical here.

As much as I agree with you about Rush, I would think twice about pulling him off the air. I would rather see hatred out in the open versus it hiding where folks can’t see it. If you can’t see it, it just may get worse. Then, when you take their voice away from them, that gives chickenshit conservatives the inspiration to take away yours. Good blog.

I understand that religious institutions/work places want to ban this because well this is what they believe in. I get it I do, what I don’t understand is why with the separation of church and state clause, we are bringing religion into institutions that are not faith affiliated.

What bother’s me the most is that people like this are so narrow-minded that they are only looking at it for one of it’s uses and not the many other clinical reasons why birth control would be used. Plus the association that women use this because they want to “slut it up” is insulting to anyone including myself. Considering that I use it for the other clinical purposes. I really hope he loses all of his shows financial backing and he will learn that being fake apologetic will get you nowhere.

I do not understand why “birth control” materials are not very very affordable! Well, actually I do understand but I do not like it!

If the government can subsidize all the crap that they do, there is no reason that they cannot subsidize drug companies and other manufactures of “birth control” methods!

I thought there was supposed to be a separation of church and state for good reason!

Look at the women’s faces on the first pictures. They are NOT impressed.

When life becomes completely unbearable in the US, please come to England. We do have nutjobs like those you describe, but the difference is that all the electable political parties and the broadcasting channels know that they are nutjobs and treat them as such. When I heard of Bills to require women to have a vaginal probe before a termination, I felt similarly angry. The whole world, fortunately, is not as insane as the US.

Timely ranting has never been my forte . I’m glad you liked it.

That’s typically because we try to be as thorough as possible with our research and fact-checking around here, though.

The blogs I follow have been all over this, so I’m happy to see others take the torch, even if it is a bit late.

But maybe a slow boil is what we need to get rid of the likes of Rush and all those men on that panel.

Thanks for the post, and for explaining the situation so well.
