Originally posted by GeneV If Limbaugh were nothing more than an entertainer, Santorum might be closer to the mark.
If Ms. Fluke were a politician who can't get enough attention, I might see the comparison with remarks of many comedians about Sarah Palin as a closer comparison as well.
What limbaugh and, apparently, oreilly are doing is attempting to shut down public input or debate on these issue by using their positions to bully people who have a stake in the issues at hand.
After witnessing what Ms. Fluke had to put up with from these two brownshirts, it is very likely that other people would just say to hell with it, putting their ideas out there isn't worth the punishment.
They are hiding behind freedom of speech to attempt to suppress freedom of speech. This is morally wrong and very cowardly.
