The environment is becoming chilly for commentators who traffic in incivility. Clear Channel’s syndication unit Premiere Networks gave its sales force a list of 98 companies — including major auto makers, insurance companies, and restaurant chains — that want to avoid “environments likely to stir negative sentiment from a very small percentage of the listening public,” according to a memo obtained by Radio-Info.com, a trade news site. And lest there be any doubt, the order says: “They’ve specifically asked that you schedule their commercials in dayparts or programs free of content that you know are deemed to be offensive or controversial (for example, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh, Tom Leykis, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity).” Companies asking to avoid those shows included Ford, GM, Toyota, Allstate, Geico, Prudential, State Farm, McDonald’s, and Subway.
The memo comes as several advertisers have pulled away from Limbaugh’s show: Many cited his on-air characterization of Sandra Fluke as a “slut” and a “prostitute” after the law student asked Congress to require employer health plans to cover contraceptives. Limbaugh later apologized for using the words to describe her. A politically progressive group, Think Progress, says that at least 50 advertisers have backed away from Limbaugh — adding that much of the air time is now being filled by public service announcements. Limbaugh assured his listeners that ”everything is fine on the business side. Everything is cool…There is not a thing to worry about.”

Aaaaaaaaaaand…cue the good little dittoheads complaining about “persecution” and such, while conveniently forgetting about the Dixie Chicks, “All-American Muslim”, etc etc…
Y’all sound like a socialist!
Amen.
You read my mind ccross!
The left is over-reaching again, as usual. For one thing, Rush has 20 million listeners and that, more than anything, will drive advertisers back. Second, the last Gallup poll revealed that 40% of Americans identified themselves as ‘conservatives’ and 21% said ‘liberals’.
What Rush said is NOTHING compared to what leftists always say, but where this matters is not in LA, SF or NYC. The rest of America gets it and they see censorship coming from the left – again, as usual.
Funny how when the marketplace shuts down the right, the wingnuts howl about “censorship.”
I guess it really does depend on whose ox is getting gored.
No, he doesn’t have 20 million listeners.
He has 4 million listeners per day X five days, which totals 20 million.
Since almost all of them listen every day, he has somewhere between 4 million to five million individuals listening to him, total!
Good to know that having right wing views are controversial according to advertisers. Good thing Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher, Chris Matthew, and Rachel Maddow aren’t “controversial”.
Of course they’re controversial. But they’re not jerks.
you dont think Olbermann is a Jerk?
OK, you get him.
How is Rachel Madow controversial? She says nothing inflammatory.
You’re responding to someone who’s never even watched her show?
Don’t even try to suggest she’s inflammatory.
She cites facts; addresses reality; points out when people say things that contradict what has actually happen or how things are…. This is inflammatory to some.
Bob Somerby has written extensively about Maddow’s on air abuses…there’s a long list
Just what I was thinking. Bill Maher especially can say the most outrageous things about conservatives, Christians or anyone not a member of his tribe and there’s never a backlash against him from advertisers no matter how many women he calls sluts (and far worse). Likewise, Ed Schlutz can go on laughing about Glenn Beck’s body sizzling while getting the electric chair and then he not only tut tuts people on civility but the media doesn’t hold him to the same standards they hold conservative commentators. Face it: the liberal media absolutely loathes women yet NOW and these other so-called groups you never hear a peep out of when women are being attacked 24/7 by the likes of these cretins. But as soon as Rush or some other conservative says something that’s remotely negative, the pitchforks come out in force. A shame America has come so low.
You comment is a FAIL.
Maher is on HBO. There are NO sponsors.
Loews dropped their sponsorship of TLC’s ‘All-American Muslim’ to keep away from controversy.
I’m not even going into your asinine false equivalency in aligning Fluke with people like Palin, Beck, et. al.
But you go ahead and continue to ignore facts and spin your truth and the rest of us will continue to laugh at you and your utter lack of integrity.
Bill Maher is on HBO wich is a cable subscription channel and does not rely on advertisers to pay for programming.
How soon people forget.
Bill Maher lost his ABC show because of his comments about 9/11. Advertisers pulled out, the ratings didn’t drop but people were vocal to advertisers and so it was no longer viable since no one wanted to be associated with the show at that time.
Now he’s on HBO where the only way you can voice your opinion is to cancel your subscription but he seems to be doing okay 10 years on.
Dorthy your comments are so laughable I had to comment. You refer to what Limbaugh spews as “remotely negative” and you suggest the right never attacks women or anyone it disagrees with in the most hateful manner possible? Your ignorance is staggering.
Dorothy Palmer,
Are you stupid or what? Yes, Bill Maher says a lot of outrageous things. On a PAY CABLE CHANNEL. HBO does not have advertisers; the channel is entirely subscription based. Rush is free to pursue this method of distribution as well; he could give up celestial radio and host a pay-for-subscription version of his show. Also, Bill Maher DID lose his show on an advertiser-supported TV network for controversial views before going to HBO.
Feel free to begin using your brain now.
–Alex
I never listened to Chris Matthews, I thought he was a Republican. As for Bill Maher, he doesn’t have advertisers because he’s on HBO. If he were on a channel that has advertising, then he probably wouldn’t say have the things he says.
No, Maher would continue to say the things he says if on a free network channel. He proved that a long time ago, and was fired for it by ABC.
they don’t go after private citizens. They go after public figures. and if your one of them , it comes with the territory
None of them are grossly offensive and rude like the right wing commentators are. Maddow certainly not! She goes out of her way to be nice and considerate. The worst I’ve seen from her is a sardonic smile.
Just Checking:
A woman goes before Congress to discuss how birth control, which can be used for purposes of regulating a woman’s hormones and has many, many medicinal uses beyond contraception, should be called “a slut” and should be forced, according to Rush Limbaugh, “post the videos online so we can all watch.”
This is a “right wing view”?
Again, I want to be fair about this, so I’m going to be clear:
Women use birth control, which regulates hormones, for many purposes beyond birth control. Fluke went to Congress to testify on this point, and why birth control should be part of any health insurance coverage. And Limgaush states that because of this she should be posting videos of herself online having sex to his pleasure.
This is a point of view the right wing sees as sane, useful and valuable?
It’s a yes or no question.
There’s a direct link between Limbaugh bullying a woman for the audacity to address the government to teens bullying peers on social networks to the Republican Party orchestrated bullying of Florida election offices in 2000. Connect those dots…
Help me here if I am confused, but I think that the difference is if the subject (person) is labeled a “public figure”. Rush Limbaugh is a public figure. Sandra Fluke is not.
Politicians can call each other names, etc, but they can’t say “Mary Smith , from Smithville, is a feminazi and a slut……
Not only did Mr Limbaugh say vile things, he missed the point and was accusing her of making him pay for her contraception.
I dispute your claim that Sandra fluke was not a public figure at the time of Limbaugh’s comments. Thirty-year-old Fluke has spent her entire adult life, including her time in college, as an activist, often in high profile positions and/or with high profile organizations. Further, the moment she began testifying before Congress she became a ‘public figure,’ which was, undoubtedly, her intention.
‘Limbaugh assured his listeners that ”everything is fine on the business side. Everything is cool…There is not a thing to worry about.”’
Sounds like a man worried about his future. It’s too bad he has that $400M eight year contract with Clear Channel. It’s also a shame that the American public seems to have the collective memory of a goldfish.
And that’s how the left plays it: if you can’t compete with them, destroy them.
Fortunately, Rush is indestructible. And when people calm down or let themselves think over the hysterical screeching, they’ll realize: that woman wanted a Catholic institution to pay for contraceptives. Yeah, maybe I wouldn’t have called her a slut. I’d have called her an idiot.
But what she really was, basically, was a tool. She has a record of crusading for “reproductive justice” (hoo-boy). The Dems used her to cite their case, while generously not allowing anyone else to testify against Obama’s War on Chastity, or whatever. All in all, it was just more donkey antics from that farce up in Washington.
The election can’t come soon enough.
So I guess you enjoy crying and being sad? That’s what you’ll be doing on November 7th, especially if your party is stupid enough to put up Slick Rick Santorum. Have fun in the wilderness until 2016, cause you’ll probably lose the House, too!
“The Dems used her to cite their case, while generously not allowing anyone else to testify against Obama’s War on Chastity, or whatever.”
Please, for the love of god, try looking into an issue before you start spouting misinformation. Sandra Fluke was the only witness the Democrats were allowed to call. The Republicans called TEN. So, what you said was essentially the opposite of the truth.
People like you are the problem with this country. How do you feel comfortable going around and confidently saying things that are completely false? You shouldn’t have an opinion if you’re not willing to get the basic facts straight.
She wanted a Catholic institution to pay for legal prescriptions that should be issued on the advice on your doctor. Period.
A Catholic institution that relies on public funding.
She wanted Georgetown to include birth control pills in the health insurance plan offered to students, which the STUDENTS PAY FOR out of their own pockets. She wasn’t asking for Georgetown to pay for it, just to offer it in the plan. GO READ THE TRANSCRIPT OF HER TESTIMONY.
You use the church as if it had the right to dictate policy to the government of the USA at the head of the pack attacking this President is Doland and what do you know about this person read this it might inform you that he is no savor
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/31/cardinal-timothy-dolan-archdiocese-milwaukee-payoff-abusive-priests_n_1559298.html
He covered up for child molesters but I guess thats ok as he is WHAT
Yeah, because the right hasn’t tried to destroy anyone–they’ve always played fair. The debate is certainly a fair one, but ‘reproductive rights’ is a serious issue and not a joke. Can guys use aspirin between their knees too? Let’s see guys treated the same way and then see how jokingly the issue is treated by them. And after what the right pulled by trying to lock women out of the debate, I’m not sure they’re in a position to complain about not allowing anyone else to testify. The fact that the party is bleeding women and that it sees this as Obama’s War on Chastity should indicate that the election will not change that.
I wish everyone, on both sides, would stick to facts. Here is what I know. She testified in front of a committee consisting of all men. She testified at a hearing on Women’s health. She spoke about how some contraception can be used for medical reasons. Just to keep it short- the religious community is against “drugs” but have no problem with insurance paying for medications that include amphetamines, barbiturates, etc.
Nope. Not a hearing on Women’s health. Not a hearing at all. A pseudo hearing/press conference, because the republicans wouldn’t allow here to testify as part of a last minute switcheroo by the dems who were try to turn a hearing discussing the constitutional legitimacy of Obama mandating that religious institutions be forced to pay for birth control. This hearing had NOTHING to do with women’s health or reproductive rights. It was about whether the administration was overreaching its power, again. She had no business testifying at such a hearing as she has no expertise on this suject matter. The clever dems have turned it to the circus it is now.
I love seeing the Free Market in action.
Howard was right. Fuck relying on advertisers only, and change the system, and if you can’t change it, create your own.
GM is a perfect example of duplicity and spinelessness. They have pursued buying time directly with Limbaugh all along. I do not doubt the facts of the report. I completely doubt the true values espoused by these companies.
Just this week, a sponsor who pulled their adverts from Rush a week ago asked to get back on rotation. THAT is the representative operational truth.
One? out of 96? So? I cannot confirm, but read that even some of the public service announcements orgs (like red cross) have asked not to have their announcements aired during the R.L. show.
So Keith Olberloon and Fat Ed Schulz are not considered uncivil lunatics? Poor CK Louis, I hear he needs work. Bill Maher must be getting nervous.
Bill Maher isn’t worried about anything. He moved to HBO years ago and doesn’t have to worry about this stuff.
First off, Bill Maher doesn’t have any advertisers, so he’s not worried about anything. He’s sitting pretty on a television network that’s specifically designed to feature racy controversial stuff.
Second, Bill Maher is a comedian. I think it’s hilarious when people try to compare folks like Rush Limbaugh to Bill Maher. Do you not see the difference?
Yeah, but these are the same idiots that think The Daily Show is the equlivant of Fox News. Also, remember, Maher DID lose his job…. for suggesting that perhaps, just perhaps people willing to commit the atrocities of 11 Sept might not be the cowards they were made out to be, and we could be in for a long war (meanwhile, 10 years later….)
He stayed on Politically Correct for close to six months after he made those remarks.
so comedians are allowed to be racist & misogynist? dont think so. a few comedians & pundits took that tact and they had their own public apologies to do over the years, including letterman, michael reynolds, olbermann, etc…
so just because you are on tv, pay cable or a comedian doesnt get you off scot free from being a racist & misogynist.
so why do you think maher is telling lefty folks to back off rush? because the flack is about to hit him too.
oh and what about louis ck?
You’re dismissing one major difference: Letterman, Maher, et al, say things about public figures. Limbaugh went after a private citizen who did nothing but testify in front of Congress. Huge difference.
not really…the difference is mostly in the talking points you’re reading from
No, but HBO does base most of its revenues on subscriptions, which are being cancelled by the tens of thousands daily since last week. This is why Maher was defending Rush.
When Maher said those comments, they were not as a comedian, but as a political commentator.
And Maher has gone after private citizens with his sexism, such as Michelle Malkin so spare me the psycho lefty double standards.
Michelle Malkin a private citizen? WTF? She’s a columnist and an on-air political pundit. How did she become a private citizen?
Fluke is a student. A. Student. A young woman in law school. She testified in Congress about a subject that, by most standards, is pretty freaking mundane—and was savagely attacked by Limbaugh as a result.
If you don’t see the difference, I actually feel pretty sad for you.
“…losing subscriptions by the tens of thousands…? Where did you get that bullshit?
Limburger is a comedian, too, because he obviously can never be taken seriously.
What does CK Louis have to do with anything? He currently has a show on FX in case you didn’t know.

I am not defending because I think he is a douchebag but Michael Savage and Howard Stern have worse things than him. This persecution thing is getting out of hand.
Howard Stern isn’t beholden to corporate advertising dollars on Sirius/XM. People actually PAY to hear what he has to say.
Rush persecutes for a living.
This is what a weak economy and fear of any kind of backlash does. Before the bailout GM and several other car companies went after these controversial radio jocks to promote their goods.
Happens on TV as well. In one way it is a shame I’d rather advertiser go to where the audiences are rather than trying to play social politics.
With this kind of standard Torchwood would never make in on a US broadcast network, neither would a lot of other innovative shows. I’d say give advertisers a break by not trying to hold them accountable for every little thing a show does, politicians are constantly asking us to give them a break when a donor does something reprehensible, lets give advertiser the same consideration.
The thing I do not like about this is it is left and right wing social groups trying to impose their morality and what they consider acceptable behavior on all of us by threatening advertiser who support sometime radical shows. Not talking about Limbaugh idiocy in this instance, I mean overall as a society of people the majority of whom do not live on the fringe of either party.
The good thing about the liberal outcry of the very ugly thing liberals themselves are so good at doing against Conservative women is that it exposes them and focuses on their incivility and thats a good thing. As for the advertisers it is being reported many advertisers are coming back and Limbaugh is refusing to put them back on the air. Enough of the double standard.
Let me get this straight. Limbaugh and the boys on the list above do thousands of hours of vile spewing, distortion, and out right lies and that’s the equivalent of Maher using the c-word once or twice. And Olberman calling people The Worst Person In The World. Reminds me of when my kid thought a quarter was more valuable than a twenty because it was metal, and heavier. Enjoy your time in Bizarro World.
so, why now? oh, right, it was a white woman that rush made fun of. when he said just as cruel things about michelle obama or president obama, nobody did anything. but disparage a white woman, and all hell breaks loose. nice going lefties.
The President and First Lady are political figures and thus open to unkind remarks. A private citizen addressing her elected officials shouldn’t be open to such a vile attack.
The word “slut” has been commonplace in media for at least twenty years, yet Rush gets vilified for it? These advertisers have no spine.
This isn’t about the word “slut”. This is about calling a young woman a slut and a prostitute for testifying before congress about the need for health insurance coverage of contraception. And saying that she has “so much sex” she needs the government to pay for her birth control. That’s what people found to be offensive.
Don’t forget the posting of the sex videos Rush wanted to see.
Thank you, JohnT! The word just symbolizes the real, underlying issue: the *distortion* of Fluke’s testimony.
The childish “you use the word too, nyah-nyah” argument completely misses why people are pushing back so hard. Although, yes, just like the infamous n-word, the word should vanish from the public airwaves.
AND…it wasn’t just a one-time, off-the-cuff “mistake”. He went on for THREE DAYS!!!
Moron, I don’t think anyone is up in arms over the use of the word “slut” because they think it’s a profanity.
This is kind of a non-story. None of the companies mentioned were ever sponsors or Limbaugh or his EIB Network.
He’s lost numerous sponsors over this and the fact that those who never advertised with him are making it a point to make it known that they will NEVER advertise with him and don’t want to be associated with hate speech makes it much more than a “non story.”
Now to get Rush’s hate and hot air off of Armed Forces Radio.
We can do better for our Troops!

“Fox News Viewers Know Less!”
For the life of me, I can’t figure why anyone in their right mind would ever advertize with any of those nutjob propagandists. Beyond the fact their content is controversial, usually completely fabricated and usually just plain revolting, you’d think it would be bad business to be associated with extremists. Clearly, they’re just discovering just how bad for business these awful people are.
We are becoming such a cry baby nation. This isn’t about Left or Right, Republican or Democrat. It’s about ridiculousness.
Rush Limbaugh is oxycotin loving, prostitute freak, who was a top 40 dj before he found this schtick as a character, regurgitating right wing rhetoric he heard from a long list of idiots that came before him. Is it a shock that a guy who tried to smuggle a pharmacy’s worth of prescription narcotics onto a plane would say something stupid, offensive, uniformed and worst of all not even funny about an issue he clearly knows nothing about. To understand anything about birth control, you’d have to have women in your life you weren’t paying or didn’t have to get so loaded to climb on top of you that they verged on unconsciousness. He’s a no talent toilet bug in line with the other list of “personalities” mentioned above. Why are we bothering even talking about him… in fact, I’ve now become disappointed in myself for even taking the time to post this.
actually maher goes to amsterdam to live exactly the way you just posted about rush: to do drugs & sleep with prostitutes that he cant do in the USA without being arrested.
so whats ur point?
Bill Maher isn’t a hypocrite. That’s the difference. He doesn’t sit up on his high horse pretending to be the morality police, while simultaneously living a life that’s at odds with what he preaches. Make that, “screeches.”
So Rush is a hypocrite because… why? He’s married, and calls a woman he perceives as sleeping around a “slut.” Call it what you will, but it’s not hypocritical. You and others get outraged he said it at all, he apologizes… but you’re still enraged? Because he’s not “honest,” and hence, not “hypocritical”? But when Rush said it, exposing the secret recesses of his heart, you were angry – that he was being consistent? Now that he’s apologized, you’re mad because… you’d prefer he just come out and be “honest” and keep calling women “sluts” and “prostitutes,” like Bill Maher the non-hypocrite? Even though married Rush ipso-facto doesn’t live “a life that’s at odds with what he preaches,” quote-unquote? And though you’re enraged Rush calls women “sluts” and “prostitutes” at all… um, like Maher the Angelically Consistent?… I’m lost, dude….
so it is ok to do drugs & prostitutes and be a racist and misogynist?
WOW…so glad u clarified that point.
….and your “side” thinks its “on moral high ground” and not on a moral HIGH horse?? pfft
maher IS a hypocrite and anyone who agrees with him~
especially when he has the head of the DNC on maher ‘s show to label Rush a misogynist and maher himself is one of the most notorious left wing hollywood misogynist in the business. both maher & the DNC chief are huge hypocrites.
For maher the only “good” woman is a dutch prostitute or a hot republican woman with a bag over her head. mea while he smokes joints and blow lines and you say he is a moral guy because he doesnt contradict his immoral standards.
now I can see why a coke addict like hitler came to power.
simply astonishing
I was responding to a specific point that the previous poster made: “actually Maher goes to Amsterdam to live exactly the way you posted about Rush…. What’s ur point?” My point was quite clear. Bill Maher makes no secret of his proclivities. Bill Maher does not pretend to be something he isn’t. If Bill Maher were caught with a suitcase full of drugs at the airport, my first thought would not be, “oh my God, what a hypocrite” — which WAS my first thought when Limbaugh’s little brush with airport security hit the news.
And the idea that Bill Maher is the liberal equivalent of Rush Limbaugh is hilarious. I can’t think of a single person who watches his show. Democratic politicians do not bow down to Bill Maher. They are not afraid of Bill Maher. He is a comedian. He is inconsequential.
And lastly, I don’t know why you can’t understand what’s so offensive about the slut controversy. It’s the fact that anybody who disagrees with right wing orthodoxy is treated with complete and utter contempt. Instead of engaging in a reasoned and civil debate, people like Rush resort to name calling. You’re either with us or against us. If you’re against us, you’re a slut or a prostitute or whatever other slur of the moment crosses his lips. He’s said far worse things throughout the years, and I find it somewhat amusing that this is the incident that finally woke people up. I’m just glad they woke up. People like Rush Limbaugh are destroying this country. Not people who are conservative. Not people who disagree with me. But people who think shouting and name-calling and incivility is acceptable political discourse.
Enjoy xm satellite radio like Howard stern and Dr Laura, rush.
Dixie Chicks were banned on the radio, Bill Mahar’s show was canceled on ABC, Phil Donahue was fired by MSNBC, Dan Rather was fired from CBS. All of them had one thing in common – they dared to question and/or criticize President Bush and/or the Iraq war.
Those dittoheads can cry all they want because their dear leader and others like him have had it pretty easy spewing their opinions all these years with little to no backlash.
The Dixie Chicks were not banned from radio. They insulted a large part of their audience and the stations that their audience listen to decided to stop playing them. That’s called the Free Market at work. Phil Donahue was cancelled for low ratings although at MSNBC that seems to be more of a feature not a bug. Dan Rather was fired for airing a false story using fake documents. Bill Maher was cancelled by ABC because his ratings weren’t big enough to withstand the onslaught of advertisers pulling out of his show. Rush has twenty million listeners a week. His ad time will be filled up again soon. But if not then his company will fire him also.
Phil Donahue had the highest ratings on MSNBC at the time his show was dropped. Dan Rather was dropped because he aired a story that was true, but failed to document it properly. Bill Maher’s was pulled of unpopular comments about 9/11—any other spin is nonsense.
But you’re right, Rush will likely continue spewing hate and folks like you will probably continue to defend him.
You hit the nail on the head.
The problem with idiots like rush is they’re not held accountable for the lies they create and propagate. They must be held accountable, and there must be consequences for their actions. He’s a spoiled brat, who believes he’s elite and better than everyone else. He’s not. He’s a high school drop out with nothing to say.
Rush has been talking locker-room trash for a long time, and he deserves to get smacked for it. But none of his critics really mean it. None of them are actually outraged. If Bill Maher or Whoopi Goldberg had slandered Elizabeth Hasselbeck, the same people claiming outrage now would have been cheering.
That’s a big “if.”
The last I looked, Maher was a comedian and Goldberg was the host of a daytime talk show. Like most comedians, Maher’s shtick is to make fun of people for laughs. Goldberg has never been anything but gracious on her show, as far as I can tell.
Rush on the other hand is no comedian. His shtick is to take facts, twist them into lies, and attack people who happen to have gotten caught up in his fantasy scenarios. He spews racist, misogynist nonsense. He’s been doing it for years and people have just had enough.
CENSORSHIP!
IGNORANCE!
how about we only have liberal/democrat radio shows and tv shows on msnbc, read only magazines like the nation and newspapers like the ny times. what fun! what a liberal world.
people hate rush. i get that. but the folks on the other side of the issue are just as full of crap and horrible. if fox news is the devil, what is msnbc? they are the ones we should trust and follow? really?!! the hypocrisy dripping over this rush issue is beyond embarrassing at this point. oh, and someone drop a piano on the head of gloria allred.
See, this is what annoys me. The claim that the people on the left are just as bad. Well, NO, that’s not true. Are they perfect? No. But do they now or have they ever stooped to the level that Rush, Hannity and other right wingers stoop to every day? No. And they wouldn’t. Because their brains don’t work that way.
This false equivalency meme really has to die.
What a surprise? GM decides to stop buying time on Rush. Considering the democratic party owns GM I don’t understand why this would be a surprise. GM was bailed out by Obama and he & his union pals are just taking advantage of a gin up controversy. Rush will be around long after our president is done ruining this country for anybody who would just like to live their life and get the government out of their’s including their medicine cabinet. All this women has to do is go to a local clinic and she can get her birth control pills for $9/month. Does she look like she can’t afford that? Have to assume if she can afford a 60k/year education she can somehow figure out how to budget for her birth control pills. And our President and his press thought this was more important to discuss at his recent press conference than the fact that our commander in chief is over seeing a war in Afghanistan where our soldiers are being shot in the back of their heads by our so-called allies. This seems to be a little more important than our poor little rich girl at Georgetown not getting her birth control pills.
If you only realized how truly ignorant your comment is.
Hey, dingleberry, she wasn’t there to just speak for herself. She was there representing the women on campus. But, of course, you can’t see that from your constantly narrowing myopic viewpoint.
