Rush Limbaugh Thinks Men That Support Women’s Access To Contraception Only Want Sex

During the broadcast of his radio show on Monday, conservative windbag Rush Limbaugh decided to weigh in some more on the Hobby Lobby decision. As one would expect, he completely dismissed any criticism of the decision by women, stating that only leftist feminists are against the decision. Also, Rush continued to push the completely inaccurate notion that women just want taxpayers to completely pay for their birth control. He also blew off any suggestion that women would be taking a financial hit regarding contraception, as he said that women shouldn’t have any problem paying for it as it is unbelievably cheap.

However, during Monday’s show, Rush raised the stakes a bit. While we are used to Limbaugh assaulting women and ‘feminazis’ left and right on his show, he tends to give men a free pass, especially when it comes to discussions that center on contraception, abortion or anything else related to women’s health. In this instance, he decided to attack men who support contraceptives being paid for by health insurance as preventive care, stating that they only support it so they can have more sex. Somehow, on Monday, Limbaugh sank to a level lower than his already awful standards.

Below is a transcript of his comments via The Rush Limbaugh Show:

RUSH: Where you been, Snerdley? Snerdley walks in here, brings me his Stack of show prep that he wanted me to see today, and he’s outraged. Have you not been listening to this program? “More than half of privately insured women are getting free birth control under President Barack Obama’s health law, a major coverage shift that’s likely to advance.” And it talks about how the average annual saving — ahem — for women is $269. And it just hit you that everybody’s demanding a benefit, $269 a year, and women can’t pay that on their own? The taxpayers have to provide the $269? Yes.

Well, here’s the thing. I know. Women have demanded independence and power and feminism and all this, and now demanding everybody pay. I don’t even know how many women really are demanding it. You know, it’s leftist women that are pushing this. But I learned something about this over the weekend that I hadn’t stopped to consider.

Mr. Snerdley and I, and I assume a lot of you folks, too, we’re from the old school where you provide for yourself. We were raised that whatever you want or need, you go out and get a job and earn enough to buy it. If you can’t afford it, then you put it off until you can. But the last thing you do is ask somebody else. You don’t go down the neighborhood and knock on the front door of people and ask ’em to buy whatever you want. That’s the way we were raised. But the thing I have learned is that men are totally supportive. Today’s young men are totally supportive of somebody else buying women their birth control pills. Make sure the women are taking them, ’cause sex is what it’s all about.

Pajama Boy types having sex, sex, sex. That’s what it’s all about. Everybody wants it and whatever it takes to make it safe. And if it takes the taxpayers buying women birth control, the men are for it, too. It’s cheap insurance, and if this is what women want before they’ll have sex, then fine. So this is the change that you and I were slow to arrive to because we were brought up with the idea that sex has consequences and that it’s somewhat special, and that if you want something you provide it yourself. You don’t ask somebody else. That’s all out the window now, as you will hear on today’s program.

 

I want to point out something here. Rush is a man who has been divorced three times and is likely working on his fourth, and whose marriages have produced no children, moralizing about sex and how “special” it is. A man who was caught carrying a bottle of Viagra, prescribed under someone else’s name, upon returning from a trip to the Dominican Republic (a known hot spot for sex tourism) preaching to other men about sexual behavior. This is a person making millions of dollars a year working 3 hours a day from a studio in his mansion telling people they need to work hard, earn and provide for themselves. We have here a man whose own prescription drug addiction likely led to his need for cochlear implants sermonizing about the health choices made by others.

Rush Limbaugh has absolutely no moral high ground to stand on when it comes to discussing sexual behavior, personal responsibility or health choices. He is nothing more than a thrice-divorced drug addict who takes erection-inducing drugs when visiting tropical destinations notorious for prostitution. Or, in other words, the perfect embodiment of today’s Republican Party.
