Rush Limbaugh/Quotes

""Let me tell you something. They say he lied to Congress. I can think of no better bunch of people to lie to than Congress."

- Rush Limbaugh on Oliver North,The Rush Limbaugh Show (6 June 1994)

""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. She wants to be paid to have sex. She's having so much sex she can't afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex. What does that make us? We're the pimps. [interruption] The johns? We would be the johns? No! We're not the johns. [interruption] Yeah, that's right. Pimp's not the right word. Okay, so she's not a slut. She's "round heeled". I take it back.""

- Rush Limbaugh, The Rush Limbaugh Show (February 29, 2012)

""Even by the rough standards of cable/talk radio/digital talk, Limbaugh's verbal abuse of Sandra Fluke set a new kind of low. I can't recall anything as brutal, ugly and deliberate ever being said by such a prominent person and so emphatically repeated. This was not a case of a bad 'word choice'. It was a brutally sexualized accusation, against a specific person, prolonged over three days.""
