Rush Limbaugh Angry Republicans are Exposed as Theocratic Fascists

Filed in National by on February 16, 2012

Rush Limbaugh took to the airwaves yesterday to charge that Democrats are using the Obama administration’s controversial mandate on contraception coverage to plot against Rick Santorum.

Yeah, you just figured that out, Rushie?

“The whole point of this contraception stuff [that] started last week is to make sure that if Santorum get this Republican nomination, that’s what he’s going to be known for, and of course the theme of that is: Santorum hates women, Republicans hate women, Republicans have no respect for women,” the conservative radio host said on his show. “Republicans want women in the kitchen constantly pregnant, blah, blah, whatever it is.”

With the help of “willing accomplices in the media,” Limbaugh argued on his show that Democrats are using the issue to their advantage to establish the notion that Santorum, along with the rest of the GOP, is fixated on denying women birth control pills.

Well, he is half right. The Democrats have no willing accomplices in the media. To the extent the media is reporting this story with any gusto is because it involves confrontation, drama and sex. But yes, Rush, it is true. We Democrats are devious. We are taking Rick Santorum’s well known anti-contraception and anti-women views and painting him as being anti-contraceptiona and anti-women. I know, it is shocking.

I am now convinced the Republicans fell into a trap set for them by President Obama. And they fell right into because the theocrats that now dominate the Republican Party, like Rick Santorum, do hate women, do have no respect for women, and do view women as second class citizens who should look pretty and say and do nothing, but have babies of course. These theocrats have nothing against big government, because they want to use government to force every single bit of their religious dogma onto the nation at large. They want government in everyone’s bedrooms, and now, as Virginia Republicans just proved, in every woman’s vagina.

Rush, you act as if these were not the truths of your party.

President Obama knew the theocrats would not be able to resist a fight over contraception, especially in the context of the Obamacare bill. And now, yes, every single Republican and every single Republican Presidential candidate, not just Santorum, has been correctly and accurately labeled as severely theocratic to the point that you all became anti-contraception last week.

Don’t blame the Democrats, the media, or President Obama for the Republican stupidity and Republican fascism. All the former did was expose you.

    Does this really splash onto all Repubs? Certainly someone with the dignity and stature of a Tom Kovach (cough) could say, “My party is nuts on this. I don’t think access to contraception is a pressing moral issue.”

    Right?

    Rush even goes further

    “Why are so many people afraid of birth?” he wondered.

    Limbaugh then asked why the Democratic party would want to limit pregnancies, arguing that it makes money from abortions. He alleged that Planned Parenthood is part of “a money-laundering operation for the Democrat party” and that the organization “is rolling in dough” from providing abortion services. “So why would the Democrat party want to make sure that there aren’t any pregnancies?” he challenged.

    He asked why Democrats seem to “fear” pregnancy, claiming that they treat it like “a disease” and a “great health risk for women.”

    “Could it be that Democrats fear kids?” he wondered. “I mean, they are aborting their own people. The vast majority of people having abortions are Democrat voters.”

    What a class act.

    My eyes are bleeding from reading this amazing rant.

  4. Jason330 says:

    I guess it is it too late for Rush’s mom to abort? Pity.

  5. Que Pasa says:

    “The vast majority of people having abortions are Democrat voters.”

    Is he wrong?

  6. Liberal Elite says:

    @QP ““The vast majority of people having abortions are Democrat voters.”

    Is he wrong?”

    Yea. Many are too young to vote.

  7. Jason330 says:

    Women vote for Democrats, so he has a point. Women get abortions more frequently that pasty old white guys. But I doubt Rush thought through his hategasm to that degree.

  8. Que Pasa says:

    “Many”???

    Yep, I reckon he may be correct.

  9. socialistic ben says:

    that wasnt the answer to your question. Dude, if you are going to use the O’keefian method of cutting and pasting a response to get the answer you want, try and separate it by more than one comment.
    QP, your Breitbart is showing.

    I wanna run a test, QP. please describe what you think goes on in the mind of a woman getting an abortion, because i really think conservatives have this view that “skanky (their word, ladies, not mine) hoes gleefully order a helpless man to not wear protection so they can become impregnated JUST to go through the joys of an abortion” it doesnt really work with the other conservative argument that the same skanky hoes get pregnant just to have kids to collect welfare. please QP, as a member of the conservatives, enlighten me.

  10. Geezer says:

    “The vast majority of people having abortions are Democrat voters.”

    Is he wrong?

    You have no way of knowing, do you? And what difference does it make if it’s true?

    Follow his logic. He’s facing cognitive dissonance because he is simultaneously arguing:

    1) Democrats make money from abortions (total bullshit, but he believes it, I suppose) so they want pregnancies

    BUT also

    2) Democrats are in favor of birth control, in obvious contradiction with supposition 1.

    So what could explain this split? It’s actually quite simple: Democrats don’t love abortion. They want it to be available if necessary, and if people use birth control, it won’t be necessary.

    Let’s contrast this with the position of many conservative Republicans: Abortion is bad, but we shouldn’t try to stop it with birth control because that’s bad, too. They pretend to be against abortion, but refuse to make birth control more available so abortions won’t be necessary. Therefore — I realize this is way over your head, Que Pasa, but I spell it out for those with enough intelligence to make use of the lesson — ending abortion is NOT the priority of such Republicans.

  11. Liberal Elite says:

    Maybe his point is that when guys like QP mistreat young conservative women, they become Democrats and have an abortion. It happens every day…

    Considering the birth rate for conservatives is so much higher, isn’t it surprising that there aren’t more of them??

  12. socialistic ben says:

    Low women who are democrats want to have a million babies so they can live off the state!!! NO they want to get abortion after abortion cause it feels so damn good!!!! NO!! THEY want to take birth control so they don’t get pregnant so sex has no consequence for them and some religions don’t like that, therefor ALL WOMEN MUST follow the rules of a faith most of them don’t follow!!!!

    see how stupid it sounds?

    submitted for the approval of the folks here at DL (the ones who’s opinions i care about anyway) I, as a man no longer wish to be associated with the likes of Santorum and Limbaugh and QP.
    I therefor move that, when referring to the male humans who want to not just go back to the dark ages, but use new technology to control the fairer sex, the term LOLmen (or LOLman) be used. It is offensive to think that I (or the other upstanding gentlemen here) be confused with these LOLmen just because of our common anatomy.

    we can even expand it to LOLwomen for Virginia Foxx and Laura Ingraham

  13. Que Pasa says:

    LOL! Like I said before, it really is fun to tweak you guys in to assumptive responses.

    You have ZERO clue about how I feel about abortions. Yet you all went on, spilling hundreds of words, about…well…NOTHING!

    Thanks for trying…

  14. socialistic ben says:

    that is why i asked you to enlighten me. Im actually interested in knowing what you think because my assumption (based on your words, and the words of the people who get paid millions to say what conservatives think) is so so so ugly. Im a bleeding heart and I really don’t want to believe that you are a monster, but you gotta convince me otherwise.

  15. Que Pasa says:

    SB, do you have a rational thought in your mind?

    Or do you enjoy projecting your idiotic nonsense all over the place to the humiliation and embarrassment of your fellow travelers on this blog?

  16. socialistic ben says:

    you mean a rational thought like “democrats love abortion”?

  17. Liberal Elite says:

    @QP “You have ZERO clue about how I feel about abortions.”

    No. You’ve made it very clear that you’re a social troglodyte.

  18. Que Pasa says:

    A “social troglodyte”…just what on earth does that mean?!? Do I sit at home alone at night? Do I not go a-marching in various pride parades? What?

    Fact is, you still don’t have a clue and are merely assuming.

    Keep trying, it really is amusing.

    Geezer for the win!

  20. socialistic ben says:

    I’d like to think that you understand it is an extremely difficult decision made by, usually, a very young, very scared woman who feels she has no other place to go. Maybe the LOLman who contributed to that pregnancy has left her and refuses to take responsibility (funny how there is no push in conservativeland to go after that ass hole). Maybe her family and church preach that unwed pregnancy is only for whores and she knows that even mom, dad, and a place that is supposed to be a sanctuary (church) will make her feel even worse.
    I’d like to think that you don’t view her as a slut or a whore, but as a fellow human in a very bad place who needs help. Maybe you think, like i do, that the way to cut down on abortions is to make every other choice a million times more attractive. the foster system in this country might as well be prison…. their only crime is not being born a Romney. Maybe stop vilifying single moms (another conservative favorite… no YOU, QP, it isnt always about YOU)…
    But again, the only thing I or anyone else can go on is the Beckian filth you post here, allegedly as a joke, meant to “stir up those libtards” your move.

  21. Liberal Elite says:

    “Social troglodyte” — A throwback to a bygone era. A creature that never was much good, even in its heyday. Has little value in the modern world. Should be extinct, but sometimes seen thrashing about in an aimless and futile manner. Can sometimes be found annoying people on blog sites with meaningless phrases like “keep trying” and “you still don’t have a clue”.

  22. Geezer says:

    “You have ZERO clue about how I feel about abortions. Yet you all went on, spilling hundreds of words, about…well…NOTHING!”

    Quite the contrary. I had fun spelling out the logical failure of the Republican position.

    I couldn’t care less what your personal position is. Your stupid, pointless comment made for a good teachable moment.

  23. Que Pasa says:

    The whole point of the entire issue at hand, is the Federal government over-stepping its bounds by requiring certain institutions to provide services that are contrary to deeply held religious beliefs.

    But because the said belief revolves around ABORTION, you liberal lemmings get all riled up and ‘ready, fire, aim’ your vitriol at phantom constructs. It’s pathetic really, and doesn’t win you anything nor advance your point of view anywhere in the minds of rational people.

    Again, please keep trying…its fun to watch you all sputter around in circles.

  24. socialistic ben says:

    QP, should an employer be allowed to not cover blood transfusions for their employees if their faith says blood transfusions are bad?

    and as far as rational people go, a vast majority of the country thinks an employers shouldn’t be allowed to force HIS religion on HIS employees. you probably don’t believe that either since you are such a rational and good person. This is the government PROTECTING people from being forced to follow a faith they dont want to follow.

  25. Von Cracker says:

    Cons have abortions, and plenty of them…

    And fuck Rush. He’s inconsequential.

  26. kavips says:

    “Why are so many people afraid of birth?” Rush wondered.

    Perhaps his mind would change if he had a little head popping out between his legs…….

  27. AQC says:

    No Kavips, Rush would probably enjoy that.
