Straight from our favorite conservative website, Newsmax:
“It’s amazing how all these issues tend to get politicized after a while,” said Santorum. “The Armed Services Network is trying to provide entertainment value to the men and women in uniform. Rush Limbaugh is the most popular radio talkshow host in America, no-one’s even close."
Does anyone want to explain to Santorum that this isn't about politics? That it is about sexual harassment? Unless, of course, Santorum would like to admit that the Republican Party is behind all the sexual harassment going on in the military. If he wants to claim that, I'll gladly reconsider that this isn't political.
Does anyone want to explain to Santorum how this isn't about providing a 'popular' radio show... that maybe Rush isn't as popular as everyone thinks he is, that perhaps Rush's numbers don't match what he's advertised?
Does anyone want to explain to Santorum how listening to Rush Limbaugh only fuels those who are inclined to sexist behavior to feel more comfortable to behave in sexist ways? That this wasn't just a three-day rant against a well spoken young women, but decades of sexist attacks?
Does anyone want to explain to Santorum that the majority of women in the military community would rather see the likes of Santorum off the airwaves. Okay, so I don't have numbers to back that one up - only anecdotal evidence (can we say SURVEY, anyone?). But start asking folks and I bet you will find that the vast majority agree with the 3 outspoken female Iraq War Vets who are petitioning the Pentagon to remove this man from military airwaves.
Enough is enough. Sexual harassment is still a major concern to our female service members and the inaction in our military hierarchy is part of the problem. They need persuasion of the kind they understand best, Congressional Inquiry.
You can help the military community today by taking your action - let Senators Levin and McCain know that we expect them to follow through on questioning the DoD about sexual harassment on AFN. Then, please write your own Representative and Senator and let them know what you think.
Believe me, Santorum won't thank you for it.
