All of Seven Women Show up for NOW’s Big anti-Rush Protest in DC

May 18, 2012 — NiceDeb

But these women presume to speak for all women.

At first, I actually thought the one doing all the talking was spoofing how ditzy, brainless, college aged feminists talk, but it turns out that she’s Erin Matson, NOW action vice president.

After describing Rush’s inappropriate comments about the 30 year old contraception rights activist who wanted a Catholic University to violate its conscience and provide health insurance that included contraceptives for students, she said:

“This is hate speech that’s meant to silence all women…” (No, it wasn’t – it was meant to ridicule one very ridiculous woman.)

“He’s had a history since he’s been on the air in the late 1980s of going after women (liberal women), going after people of color (liberal “people of color”) and going after gay people (liberal gay people). Anyone notice the common denominator? Oh, he goes after liberals. Like all conservative talk show hosts.

What a twit.

Via The Daily Caller:

Seven women participated in the National Organization for Women’s day of protest against Rush Limbaugh in front of Limbaugh’s D.C. affiliate WMAL, Friday.

NOW’s national protest day had been in the works since April 19, when the women’s advocacy group launched their “Enough Rush” campaign.

[ If they'd just had a little more time to prepare, they might have gotten 8 or 9 womyn to turn out. ]

Pairing with media watchdog Media Matters for America NOW is targeting local affiliates and local advertisers, Friday’s demonstration was touted as the group’s big demonstration of opposition to Limbaugh with affiliates across the country participating in protests.

[ Why didn't Soros pony up money to hire some illegal alien womyn who don't even know what the signs they're carrying say, like they do for all the other causes? ]

NOW has had Limbaugh in their crosshairs for nearly two decades, and they renewed their effort to get Limbaugh off the air as a response to the radio host’s late February insult of contraception activist Sandra Fluke.

Standing on a street corner in front of WMAL the seven women bearing signs such as “Enough Rush” and “Stop hate speech” received some honks and smiles.

Erin Matson, NOW action vice president explained to The Daily Caller that Limbaugh crossed the line with his comments about Fluke and that he needs to go.
