Why I don't Like Rush Limbaugh

A Response to His "Woman's Summit"

Anastasia Zoldak
On February 25 and 27, Rush Limbaugh had a "Women's Summit." He wanted to find out why women did not listen to his program as much as men did. The responses he received were very interesting, but due to circumstances, I was not able to call in to tell him why I no longer respect his opinion or really like him, so I decided because of my interest in politics to send him an email on February 25 and I would like to share it with you.

Dear Mr. Limbaugh,

I have been a faithful listener of your program since 1989. When I first started to listen to you, your a sense of humor about the events of the day made me laugh. At a time where I was becoming disillusioned by the Women's movement, you expressed its increasing trend towards victimization instead of liberation in a humorous and thought provoking manor.

Over the years, I have watched your program grow and thereby your influence and I have seen you stray further and further away from the things that made you special. Your sense of hope in the face of the growing socialization of America has now become a daily dogmatic rant.

The calling of Barack Obama "The Messiah" flies in the face of your former Christian values. I know this because I remember your grandfather. I cannot help but wonder how he would feel in your use of the Lord's title in this manor.

I loved your sense of humor. I no longer hear it. I loved your independent analysis but now you have become the poster boy for the Republican Party. This became abundantly clear to me when you pushed a Presidential candidate that really had no business running as a Republican.

I remembered what you had said about his obstructionism in the early part of President Bush's Presidency. I remembered the gang of twelve but you chose to overlook it and support a ticket that had no business being supported. We lost control of Congress because of McCain's obstructionism in the Senate

Your attitude towards women has become demeaning. I remember when you used Margaret Thatcher and Elizabeth Dole as strong conservative female role models. I was disappointed to see you support such an obvious MELF (If you do not know what that means I can tell you it is not very nice. May I suggest you Google it) as Palin.

She was a woman who had no business in running for national office. It was so obvious that McCain chose her as a running mate because of her looks and not her skills or intellect that it was insult to conservative women everywhere. His quick choice of her really shows the distain the Republican Party has of their women conservatives and your daily support of her just showed me how far you have strayed.

If sleeping in the White House and talking to Presidents can subvert your conservative ideals to the point you have become a talking head for the Republican Party then I never would want that "honor." I liked you better before you became corrupted by your success.

    Just thought you'd like to know that an ad for Ann Coulter popped up next to your article. Talk about your shrill, negative counterparts to RL. Thanks for posting this article tho.
