I don't know exactly why this is that much more offensive than every other horrible thing Rush Limbaugh has ever said, but this is getting a lot of attention, so I'm not complaining:
A growing list of groups and individuals have denounced Rush Limbaugh in the wake of his vicious attack on Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown University Law School student who testified before Congress recently about the problems caused when women lack access to contraception. The popular right-wing radio host has unleashed a torrent of misogynistic comments directed at Fluke over the past few days, calling her a "slut" and a "prostitute," and demanding: "If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it, and I'll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch."If you want to help the campaign to make sponsors aware of his language, check out what media matters comes up with. They recently hired one of the main guys who used that tactic to get Glenn Beck off the air.
