Women’s Group Launches Next Wave Against Rush

 
 

Breitbart.com is reporting that the National Organization for Women (NOW) has launched an “enough Rush” campaign in an effort to get radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh taken off the air.  Limbaugh is heard weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. here on Newstalk KIT.

Terry O’Neill, president of NOW, told The Daily Caller, “He is going to be whining and calling us out about his First Amendment rights. There is nothing in the Constitution that says Rush Limbaugh gets $38 million a year for being on a radio show.”

Brian Glicklich, Rush’s spokesman, says “It’s instructive and telling that NOW added a ‘donate’ button to their website to ‘support their campaign.’ They have a store too, selling T-shirts.  This isn’t about getting Rush off the air, that campaign has failed dramatically. It’s about NOW making a splash and trying to use their bully pulpit to bully."
