Republican Cognitive Dissonance Ringing Even Louder Than Usual

Let me get this straight…

— You’re a ‘strict Constitutionalist’ who thinks America is a Christian nation even though there is absolutely no mention of Jesus Christ, Christianity or even God in the Constitution?

— You’re complaining about high gas prices at the pump, but you’d rather drive a gas-guzzling road hog because it might hack off some eco-liberal than save money by driving a hybrid or electric car?

— You actually bought those fraudulent gold coins peddled by Glenn Beck and yet you think you’re a good judge of what candidate could best handle the economy?

— You really want America’s future to be determined by large global corporations that you can’t influence rather than a government that you can at least vote out?

— You can’t survive without Social Security and Medicare, yet you vote for people who want to get rid of those programs?

— You’re saving up for your kids to go to college yet vote for candidates who think a college education is snobbish and turns you into an America-hating liberal atheist?

— You’re a married woman who takes birth control pills since you can’t afford any more children in your family, yet you’re voting for Republicans because you like their ‘family values’ blather?

— You’re a law enforcement officer who has seen your union’s ability to bargain for better working conditions and higher pay curtailed or ended by Republicans, yet you still think Occupy Wall Street is the real enemy?

— You confess George W. Bush ruined the economy with his tax cuts and loopholes for the rich that added trillions to the deficit, yet you’re still voting for Republicans who favor the same tax policies?

— You’re a college kid who supports Republicans even though you admit that your tuition has gone up under Republican policies and they aren’t doing a thing to ensure you have a job when you graduate?

— Your teenage daughter is pregnant, and you blame the school for not providing adequate sex education, even though you voted for candidates who were against sex education in schools?

— You’re sending that daughter out of state to quietly get a legal abortion because having the child will affect her future and embarrass your ‘traditional values,’ pro-life family, yet you want to deny this option to other women?

— You think if there is one person on welfare who takes drugs, it means most welfare recipients are drug addicts, but if several racist signs appear at GOP rallies, that’s not an indication most Republicans are racists?

The Humpty-Dumpty Limbaugh Takes a Great Fall

After two decades of stupid, obnoxious, sexist, racist, inaccurate, untruthful, fringe-right malevolence, the bulbous clown show that is Rush Limbaugh may have finally reached the end over his extravagant lies about Sandra Fluke and sheer ignorance of how birth control pills work. (No, Rush, you don’t have to take ‘extra’ pills if you have several sexual partners, and the public isn’t paying for them, the health insurance companies are, and don’t mind it: birth control pills are cheaper for them than a pregnancy.)

Ironically, it may be the ‘free market’ that finally spells Rush’s doom as a national political force; like Glenn Beck, advertisers are jumping ship over his latest outlandish remarks and, without advertiser bucks, there is no money to pay Rush’s multi-million dollar contract. As times change and right-wing media in general fades, this is the beginning of the end for Limbaugh.

Rush Limbaugh’s Advertisers Facing Social Media Firestorm

By Adam Peck
Think Progress
March 2, 2012

Rush Limbaugh’s latest misogynistic tirade against Georgetown University Law Student Sandra Fluke may be the last straw for many of the shock jock’s corporate sponsors. Thousands of angry customers have been inundating dozens of Limbaugh’s corporate sponsors, demanding that they cut ties with the program.

So far, Sleep Number, The Sleep Train, Quicken Loans, Legal Zoom and Citrix have pulled ads from the program, and several others are considering following their lead.

ThinkProgress is collecting reactions from social media sites like Twitter and Facebook on Storify. Here’s a look at some responses so far:

Read the rest here.

And sign the DCCC petition:

PETITION: Tell Republican Leaders to Denounce Rush Limbaugh’s Anti-Women Tirade

“What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke [sic] who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex — what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute.”
— Rush Limbaugh

Sandra Fluke, the courageous Georgetown Law student who had the strength to stand up in Congress against Republican attacks on birth control coverage, is now under attack from the right wing.

First, House Republicans refused to let Sandra testify. Now, they think they can shame us into silence. Standing up for women’s health care does not make you a “slut” or a “prostitute.”

Sign our petition right now calling on Republican leaders to publicly denounce Rush Limbaugh’s cruel tirade against women.

Today’s Video Quote: George Carlin on Abortion and the Sanctity of Life

An oldie but goodie. George Carlin died in 2008, but his material is still relevant today.

No comment except to say that, even though I disliked Breitbart and what he did, I wouldn’t wish an early death on him. Here’s a link to the obit from CNN:
