Feminists Against Rush

Amazingly, you have to wait a MINUTE AND A HALF before this “feminist” unloads on Rush Limbaugh with any specifics. Up until then, the main point of her video is that Limbaugh — and by extension, anybody else who says “irresponsible” things — needs to check with her first before being allowed to communicate with any significant numbers of people.
What’s irresponsible? Whatever she doesn’t like. As I said…you have to wait a minute and a half before she goes into detail. The detail in question…that bit about feminism being started so that ugly women could get dates. (”Access to the mainstream of society,” Undeniable Truth of Life #24.)
Wow, how ineffective. If Rush was wrong, you could simply debate the point and squish him like a bug. This feminist chose not to do that…opting, instead, to argue as persuasively as she could that Rush must not be allowed to say what he says, or that others must not be allowed to listen to him. So there must be something to it.
That’s the problem with basing your WHOLE argument around “I don’t like this, can I get an amen here?” — opining away, then moving on to the next issue, lather, rinse, repeat. It atrophies aggressive thinking, and in some measure it validates the opposition. But that’s just stating the obvious. I feel a little silly even having to jot it down. But tragically, “feminist” is coming to be a word that describes people who somehow can’t catch on to this. Especially in colleges, which is where young people are supposed to go to learn how to noodle this stuff out.
Just saw a nice fireworks display, for a great price. Free. So I’m feelin’ all big & into free speech. Let’s take a minute or two to study someone who wants to take it away. They’re definitely out there.
P.S.: What’s up with the snotty overlay messages? This clip was linked directly from Feministing, and apparently someone there didn’t realize there are all these subtitles that don’t seem to have been inserted by anyone terribly sympathetic with the feminist’s message. Oh well, that’s their problem not mine.
