I honestly don't see what the obsession with Rush is. He's an entertainer. Is it only because he's a conservative? There are other entertainers in the political sphere such as Bill Maher who say the same, if not worse things. Is Rush that powerful that the spotlight is on him? Take everything everyone says with a grain of salt.
How exactly is the government paying for a private insurance plan? This is the problem, people like you are uninformed and you side with the opinion of an idiot who is either also woefully uninformed or purposely deceitful.

He only calls himself an entertainer when he gets caught saying something stupid. People don't listen to him for entertainment purposes. His show is all about conservatism vs progressivism. Perhaps it's entertainment for conservative America. But the rhetoric is ugly, divisive and is geared towards stirring up the masses into an angry fury while keeping them hooked on the show.
1) It wasn't $3,000/year. It was $3,000 over the time you're in school. 2) Government wouldn't pay for it. The whole debate is about requiring private insurers, namely those run through religious organizations and employers, to offer coverage for contraception. 80% of private insurance plans already cover this service.
He claims he is the voice that "speaks for everyone" yet when he gets caught he's just an "entertainer". That's the difference between him and John Stewart, Bill Maher, Steven Colbert. Also, his AUDIENCE does not listen to him "with a grain of salt". That's the scary part.
http://bobcesca.com/blog-archives/2012/03/exclusive-rush-pulls-music-from-limbaugh-show.html EXCLUSIVE: Rush Pulls Music from Limbaugh Show Posted on 03/06/2012 at 6:44 pm by Bob Cesca Yesterday, I contacted Anthem Entertainment and Rush (the band) about Rush Limbaugh’s airing of its music on his show, and today I was exclusively informed that the legendary Canadian rock group has formally demanded that the Rush Limbaugh Program stop using its music on the air. For years now, Rush Limbaugh has been playing Rush music (get it?) as bumpers out of his commercial breaks, including the tracks “Bravado” and “The Spirit of Radio”. In fact, when Limbaugh attacked Sandra Fluke and remarked about seeing sex tapes of Fluke in exchange for birth control pills, Limbaugh was playing the popular Rush track “The Spirit of Radio” under his rant. Thankfully, that ends today. Here’s the official cease & desist letter from Bob Farmer, the head legal affairs for S.R.O. Management Inc., Core Music Publishing and The Anthem Entertainment Group Inc. The Rush Limbaugh Show 1270 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10020 RushLimbaugh.com Premiere Radio Networks. Ladies & Gentlemen: I am the attorney for Rush, their management company, S.R.O. Management Inc., their music publishing company, Core Music Publishing and their record company, The Anthem Entertainment Group Inc. According to media reports, Rush Limbaugh, Premiere Radio Networks and The Rush Limbaugh Show have been using Rush’s recorded music as part of what is essentially a political broadcast. The use of Rush’s music in this way is an infringement of Rush’s copyrights and trademarks. The public performance of Rush’s music is not licensed for political purposes and any such use is in breach of public performance licenses and constitutes copyright infringement. There are civil and criminal remedies for copyright infringement, including statutory damages and fines. (see sections 501-513 of Title 17 of the United States Code http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html) In addition, the use of Rush’s music in this manner implies an endorsement of the views expressed and products advertised on the show, and is in breach of not only copyright and trademark rights, but also, of section 51 of the New York Civil Rights Law (excerpt attached). Accordingly, we hereby demand that you immediately stop all use of Rush’s music and confirm that you will do so. Yours very truly, Robert A. Farmer Director of Legal Affairs S.R.O. Management Inc., Core Music Publishing The Anthem Entertainment Group Inc. cc: Rush, Ray Danniels, Pegi Cecconi DRUM SOLO ON FATTY'S GRAVE!
You all are sluts. Every damn one of us. It's only a matter to what degree and to what degree you put up with it. Sluts.
