Limbaugh demeans American servicewomen

On his radio show today, right-wing host Rush Limbaugh criticized the military for allowing women to fight for the United States, asking what “it says about a cultured civilized society that it will round up babes send them off to basic training and send them off to the foxholes.”

LSB: I can't decide if he for real, or is he like Stephen Colbert and mocking the right. Does he really believe what comes out of his mouth, or does it simply pay so well that he'll pimp himself to say stupid shit?

Here are some of the great comments left on ThinkProgress for this item:

  • How about just fat GOP fascist slobs like Limbaugh get sent to Iraq?!
  • This piece of crud dodged the draft during Nam and now he has the temerity to criticize anyone in uniform?
  • Some of those “babes” have seen more combat than Rush has seen in movies. They have also been killed in Bush’s illegal war of empire.
  • Limbaugh is a fat, drug-addled moron who doesn’t have half the balls of the women he is degrading.
  • Limbaugh, Bush, Cheney, and Rove: the Four Horses Asses of the Apocalypse. Draft dodging cowards all, all obsessed with proving their “real men.” They aren’t and never can be.
  • What does it say about a cultured, civilised society that it would allow a drug-addicted moron access to a microphone so he can call women “babes”?
  • In case people don’t get this yet, LimpJaw is doing to women what would in NO WAY be tolerated if it were being said about a black person, or a handicapped person.
