Satire and the issues

Using satire to get a point across isn't the worst thing. We watched John Stewart do it in a nine minute clip that was much more effective than a nine minute clip of cspan. With that satire in the media comes the necessity to not go overboard. Everyone needs to remember that people have the right to their opinions. Whether it be John Stewart and his somewhat moderate views, or Rush with his extremist conservative views. Unfortunately, I have to say that both men in this case were able to get their opinion heard by disrespecting the other side of the issue.
As far as the issue on birth control, I don't see how Rush can attempt to keep a fan base when he calls out 50percent of the America people for using a contraceptive. That 50 percent, women, I would assume don't appreciate him calling a a young girl advocating for herself and her friends a "slut" without ever having met her. If I was him, I would stop being concerned about this issue as much, and be a little more concerned about how he is going to stay on the air after alienating himself from such a large portion of the country.
