Yes, the left-wing chatterboxes also spew forth bullshit, but never have any (to my knowledge) stooped so low as to go on a 45+ minute tirade targeting a single woman like Rush did against Sandra Fluke. This wasn’t a two or three minute sound bite, Rush went on and on… and showed off precisely what he is, a misogynist tub of lard stuffed with hatred and bigotry.
