Don’t pull programming from Rush Radio station

TO THE EDITOR:
In her recent letter, Dr. Lisa Davenport accuses Rush Limbaugh of “atrocious misinformation.” In fact, it is she who is the purveyor of that misinformation. She falsely tells us that Limbaugh attacked Sandra Fluke (or is it “Flake”?) for “daring to speak out” about women’s health issues.

In fact, he was criticizing her for saying that she wanted the American taxpayers to reimburse her and her sister-flakes about $1,000 a year each for expenditures on birth control materials or devices. That would cover an awful lot of sex.

But, of course, she’s “entitled.” And Limbaugh “insinuat[ed] that she was promiscuous.” Imagine that! By the way — “fluke” means several types of flatfish.

I don’t think UNC will be so stupid as to drop sports from Rush Radio. There would certainly be a blowback by contributors, such as myself.
