      That is because you right wing mouthpieces whip up the less intelligent population to do things they shouldn't. Is that part of your subterranean plan to damage the obama presidency now that you found out the election method is not working for you ?

      I wonder if any of Rush's multiple wives feel as if being married to him constituted abuse...

        I wonder how many of his million$ are going to keep the 'ex's quiet.

      I dunno what the need for it is, but I doubt that exerting more power is the hidden intent...

      Whatever the problem, no matter how big or how small, the first and most favoured tactic of the conservtive is to DENY IT EXSISTS.

      Why do we need a White House advisor on violence against women? Because it's a MAJOR problem! One in four women in America are victims of domestic abuse at some point in their lives. Three women are killed every day by someone who tells them, "I love you."

      The National Network to End Domestic Violence is thrilled that the White House has created the first-ever position to address this pervavise issue. http://nnedv.org/news/national/283-vaw-advisor.html

      Yes, Rush. It should be up to the states to decide if a man s in the wrong for beating a woman with a crowbar because she was in an affair or didn't have dinner ready for him.

      Damn "big government" people always poking their noses into peoples' business again, eh?

      In Limbaugh's example on what the new advisor will be doing he says "what is she going to say, in this case the violence was justified". He further goes on to say that in some cases "violence is justified". This quack should have gone to jail and experienced violence first hand when he got caught using prescription drugs illegally instead of skulking off to rehab. Maybe he would understand the issues women face if he had been at the receiving end of sexual violence.

        I don't know if he actually meant to imply that some domestic violence is justified, but that's the kind of thing anyone like him who's even pretending to be a journalist knows from day one that you don't say in that syntax and context, because of how easy it'll be to misquote him.
