If you've read anything else I've posted, you can probably figure out that I really don't like Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. Here's one of the biggest reasons why.
Here's Beck's latest about the idea of running for VP under Palin:

He's saying she belongs in the kitchen. Maybe not in so many words, but he did say "I'm sorry, why am I hearing your voice? I'm not in the kitchen." To me, that's close enough to saying that she should only be in the kitchen.
Now, granted, I think Palin was the worst thing that happened to McCain. She's one of the dumbest women I know of. "Stupid is as stupid does." Africa's a country. "I read a lot of magazines and newspapers, different ones, all of them." But to make the comment that she should be in the kitchen is referencing an age old saying of women should only be in the kitchen. That women shouldn't have jobs. That they are lesser than men.
And oh way too many times did Rush Limbaugh made sexist comments about Hillary Clinton before Palin was nominated. Or made other comments about other women. And how many times he's made racist comments about Obama, or Al Sharpton (or whatever his spelling is), etc. Because of Limbaugh, so many people believe that Obama is a muslim, and believe that we should fear all muslims. Get a clue people. Just because his name is the same as some muslims doesn't make him a muslim terrorist. And doesn't mean he was born outside of the country. Yes, his father is from Kenya, but his mother is American, and Barack was born in Hawaii.
But let's take this further. Away from these hating people and look at music for a moment. Specifically current pop music (hip-hop, rap). Here are some quotes from pop music over the years: (WARNING: contains profanity!!!)
Shake it like a salt shaker
I wanna fuck you like an animal
Back that ass up
Let me see that thong
she says "this pussy's yours, Daddy"
Oh give me that ass
Shake that ass ho, make that cash ho
Pop that pussy ho
So take off all your clothes
I'm bare, boned, and crazy for you
Girl you know I like it when you climb on top
U make me wanna sweat
We've only just met and I'm undressing you with my eyes
Hit me baby one more time
I'm a slave 4 you
Girl you look like someone I done fucked before
Creepin' up and down now
I see you winding and grinding up on that pole
I wanna fuck you, you already know
Oh what we do when the pants are down
Down and dirty, hot and squirty
Only good for a fuck
You know you gotta back the fuck up
I know you want it, the thing that makes me
It's fuck and run, fuck and run, even when I was twelve.
This is the music we listen to. WFT? This is the music that parents let their teenage girls listen to? yes, it is. And what does this do to the kids? It puts a woman's worth into how well she can shake her @$$. But does anyone realize it? Nope. Kids say, "I don't listen to the music for the words, I just like it cause I can dance to the beat." But look at what kind of dancing you're doing. Grinding, @$$ shaking, b00b shaking, etc. It's not helping.
Our music encourages cheap sex with no commitment. And encourages girls to be sexy, and guys to expect girls to be sexy, and if they aren't, then they should be taken and raped. Yes, I said it, pop music is encouraging rape. Maybe not blatantly, but that becomes a result. As much as we like to think that music and video games and movies don't effect us, they do. They very much do.
We need to start thinking about it. Treat women with respect, treat minorities with respect, don't judge people because they are different. The Bible says the most important thing is love, but we don't know how to love everyone, so we should strive for respect. Self-respect, and respect for others. And sexual respect is something that is needed above all.
Think about what you listen to and watch, and what you do.
