Rush Limbaugh routinely mocks the commander in chief. How can they justify broadcasting that over official channels? He foments insubordination. That's just nuts that he would be carried.

Please. Armed Forces radio is supposed to broadcast a cross section of what is happening on radio in the US. Ideally what they broadcast is something the troops and other listeners want to hear. Based on the generally right leaning make-up of the military, it makes perfect sense for them to carry Rush.
I don't care for the guy and I've never really listened to his show, but reaction this is getting is just stupid. He called a woman a slut while ranting. Dumb move in my opinion, but so what. He isn't a journalist. It was just as dumb and just as much of a non-issue for me as when Schultz called Laura Ingraham a slut. Whatever.
The woman is revelling in her 15 minutes. She went before congress and boo hooed about poor law students not being able to afford contraception. Fuck off. We all have our crosses to bare lady. If between you and your partner you can't afford a condom, then you're too damn stupid to be having sex anyway.
and No I do not have a religious opposition to birth control. I have a deeply held dislike for people who believe it's someone else's (meaning you and me) to pay for things they want.
