Rush Limbaugh took to the airwaves yesterday to charge that Democrats are using the Obama administration’s controversial mandate on contraception coverage to plot against Rick Santorum.
Yeah, you just figured that out, Rushie?
“The whole point of this contraception stuff [that] started last week is to make sure that if Santorum get this Republican nomination, that’s what he’s going to be known for, and of course the theme of that is: Santorum hates women, Republicans hate women, Republicans have no respect for women,” the conservative radio host said on his show. “Republicans want women in the kitchen constantly pregnant, blah, blah, whatever it is.”
With the help of “willing accomplices in the media,” Limbaugh argued on his show that Democrats are using the issue to their advantage to establish the notion that Santorum, along with the rest of the GOP, is fixated on denying women birth control pills.
Well, he is half right. The Democrats have no willing accomplices in the media. To the extent the media is reporting this story with any gusto is because it involves confrontation, drama and sex. But yes, Rush, it is true. We Democrats are devious. We are taking Rick Santorum’s well known anti-contraception and anti-women views and painting him as being anti-contraceptiona and anti-women. I know, it is shocking.
I am now convinced the Republicans fell into a trap set for them by President Obama. And they fell right into because the theocrats that now dominate the Republican Party, like Rick Santorum, do hate women, do have no respect for women, and do view women as second class citizens who should look pretty and say and do nothing, but have babies of course. These theocrats have nothing against big government, because they want to use government to force every single bit of their religious dogma onto the nation at large. They want government in everyone’s bedrooms, and now, as Virginia Republicans just proved, in every woman’s vagina.
Rush, you act as if these were not the truths of your party.
President Obama knew the theocrats would not be able to resist a fight over contraception, especially in the context of the Obamacare bill. And now, yes, every single Republican and every single Republican Presidential candidate, not just Santorum, has been correctly and accurately labeled as severely theocratic to the point that you all became anti-contraception last week.
Don’t blame the Democrats, the media, or President Obama for the Republican stupidity and Republican fascism. All the former did was expose you.
