Hugh Hefner often seems to be one to talk politics. Now that the Rush Limbaugh - Sandra Fluke mess has seemingly calmed down, Hugh offered some insight into Playboy Radio's stance on Rush's sexist comments.
In case you missed it, Rush went on a nasty tirade over three days about Georgetown Law School student Sandra Fluke and health insurance covering birth control. Limbaugh basically called her a prostitute on the radio, which sparked a national outrage with hundreds of sponsors pulling advertising.
Now here comes Hugh, tweeting out that even though he may object to the content, Rush has the right to slander Fluke on the radio:
Playboy Radio didn't support Rush Limbaugh. They supported the use of free speech, Politically Incorrect or not.

Of course, any discussion about this topic is a slippery-slope for Hugh Hefner. He has made a mint on objectifying women in print (though people read his magazine for the stories).
So, if he goes on bashing Rush for his words while clinging to the First Amendment for his own magazine and radio station, that would be completely hypocritical. So, what do you think? Should Hefner just stay out of the Rush Limbaugh mess altogether, or should he have stuck his neck out on Twitter?

Question, did you read the same article above which I read ??? I ask this because, I did not read anything in the article which even remotely pretained to or referred to President Obama.
Please save your sick un-natural hate for the president for those who are likeminded and wish to read such trash or at the very least, as a response to an aritcle on the subject of the presidency.
Gather News is a website devoted to those who are interested in debating current political issues. It is not a place for weak minded individuals to unload their vile nauseating filth on readers and debaters.
"She's a slut--yeah, that Laura Ingraham, she's a Right-Wing Radio Talk Slut" -- Schultz, referring to Ingraham
"That c**t pushed that retard out of her retarded fuc**ng cu*t." -- Maher on Sarah Palin, "loosely" translated
Windsor, get a clue.
Wake the FRICK up.
Schultz -- immediately apologized on national TV and was suspended for a time
Maher -- many outlets won't carry Bill Maher for exactly that reason.
Lastly, learn how to read. Note the "generally" in my post above. I used that word for a reason. If you had clue, I wouldn't have to point these things out.
YOU were discussing a level of "Class."
I've thumped you. Deal.
Who gets Tweets from Hugh Hefner? I didn't think anyone paid attention to him anymore!
Yawn.
I give the Trayvon Martin thing a couple more weeks.
Hey, what's up with Occupy?
