Limbaugh’s vile attack on a student who dared to speak up
Wow. This is true slime.
Some of you may recall Sandra Fluke, a student at Georgetown University and former head of Georgetown Law Students for Reproductive Justice, who was barred by House Republicans from offering a woman’s perspective at a male-dominated hearing on the Obama administration’s contraception rule.
Later, House Democrats set up their own hearing in which Fluke was the star witness. Her full prepared testimony can be found here, but as the AP reported it:
“Fluke, a third-year law student, said that Georgetown Law, a Jesuit institution, does not provide contraception coverage in its student health plan and that contraception can cost a woman more than $3,000 during law school. She spoke of a friend who had an ovary removed because the insurance company wouldn’t cover the prescription birth control she needed to stop the growth of cysts.”
Think what you will of the issue or of Fluke’s testimony. Nothing the young woman said or did earned her this, from Rush Limbaugh:
“What does it say about the college coed Susan [sic] Fluke, who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex? What does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex.
“She’s having so much sex she can’t afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex. What does that make us? We’re the pimps.
“The johns, that’s right. We would be the johns — no! We’re not the johns. Well — yeah, that’s right. Pimp’s not the right word.
“OK, so, she’s not a slut. She’s round-heeled. I take it back.”
I’ve shied away from accusations that this issue is being driven on the right by misogyny, because in many cases it’s not. But clearly, in many other cases that’s exactly what’s driving it. Limbaugh’s attack is a vicious attempt to frighten and intimidate women into going silent on the issue, and the message is intended not merely for Fluke but for women in general. Limbaugh is a frightened little bully attempting to keep women in their place, and in that regard is no different than the mullahs of Afghanistan who condemn non-virgin women to a stoning.
It is a despicable, and it tells you a lot about the current state of affairs in our nation that someone with a podium as grand and lucrative as Limbaugh’s can spout such bile about a young woman whom he has never met, and do so without consequence.

And one more comment before I depart, we are all remembered for what we do on this planet, how we choose to live our lives, and how we chose to treat others. Bretbart will not be missed by many, because he chose to hurt many with his words, but will be missed by his family and friends, and at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.
My condolences to those who will miss him.

“I oddly enough don’t care what Boortz said about the President. It’s not like it’s not repeated here by several commenters at least once or twice a day. He’s the President, he knows what he signed up for and he gets worse as letters that get investigated by the Secret Service.”
But this is precicely the culture of hate that is being discussed is it not. The point is not that the President might be offended, but the culture that is created by this hate speech that gives wink and cover should anyone be inspired to act upon such with violence.

Not directed at your daughter at all, just to parents of daughters: many speak as you do with the girl as the little innocent and the boy as the threat.

K71 — “Limbaugh’s main point in this commentary was that there was so much sex going on at Georgetown University Law School that 4 in 10 women would have to spend up to 3K/yr on birth control devices just to keep up.”
Limbaugh is clearly too effing stoopid to understand that getting BC coverage isn’t JUST about contraception. There are therapeutic uses of BC as well, but when you throw the BC baby out with the OHMIGOD CONTRACEPTION bathwater, you’re proscribing a perfectly reasonable and justifiable use of a prescribable pharmaceutical.
Those of you who are trashing this young woman — I hope you never have a close female family member suffer from dysmenorrhea, from ovarian cysts or one of the other myriad of disorders and afflictions that can be treated with BC. Because the best advice and comfort you’d have for them is to go down to CVS and buy a box of Trojans.

Yes, the culture of hatred that allows anyone to spew anything about anyone is terrible for us as a society… and it’ll only end when we start boycotting those who pay for this nonsense to exist. Who are Limbaugh’s sponsors? Target them and Boortz’s sponsors and the immediate problem goes away.
No, because they are public figures and even back in the days of Ben Franklin, insulting public figures was a time-honored new tradition that they didn’t allow in merry old England.
But that’s about picking on public figures. This woman was a witness in a Congressional hearing, not a public figure.

Now it’s “I want you out of my bedroom unless you want to give me some money to finance what I’m doing” The buzz words like reproductive freedoms and religious rights are all a sham.

We worried for years about the Communist. They may take over government and America. Now I am beginning to understand the problem. If the was Communist there would not be enough air time for these autocrats.
If the mob decided to form a political party it would resemble the Republican Party. They would bully their minority to power while claiming a close relationship with the Catholic church. They would redefine morality to justify their evil and stupidity. You can’t argue with amoral people what a cover it is like a crooked policeman.

JohnnyReb –”That position is a total collapse of personal responsibility. I don’t know who said it first, but clearly the Left wants Life without consequence and when a person makes a mistake they want everyone to pay for it. No wonder they are called Moonbats.”
I’m sorry, but you’re completely clueless on this point. That position is *not* a “total collapse of personal responsibility;” it’s actually smart business and it’s how insurance companies operate.
If you purchase dental insurance, periodic cleanings are covered, while major orthodontia is often capped at a set limit per year. Why? Because it’s cheaper to address a medical issue with prophylaxis and preventive care than it is to address it when it becomes a big problem.
Dental cleanings are cheaper than root canals.
Smoking cessation programs are cheaper than treating lung cancer.
Contraception and family planning are cheaper than covering unplanned pregnancies and adding extra covered dependents to a health plan.
If you honestly think that personal responsibility is the issue in this argument, then you don’t know an effing thing about how insurance works.

And all of you liberals are so astounded by the fact that the rhetoric is getting pretty raw when it comes to political issues. Go back and carefully read Donovan’s 9:02. He says it much better than I ever could. Liberals always get their shorts in a wad when they don’t get their way or someone disagrees with them. Like the Wall Street thugs, they take it personally when someone makes a little more money than you do, things are not always “fair” and “equal”, then they go out and make fools of themselves and Democrats encourage them to continue…. even Bozo, your president, and the ever present Queen Nancy. We’re really sorry if you are offended by the fact that Boortz calls this idiot in the WH a pimple on the butt of humanity. I think that he should have been a little more descriptive but I don’t run radio shows. If you want to be led around by a ring in your nose by an “all knowing” and ever “omnipotent” government, go ahead, but don’t expect me and lots of others like me to accept it. I don’t want the government telling me what kind of light bulbs to use, how to pack my child’s school lunch, what kind of health care insurance I must buy or generally, “doing what is right for me”.

Well, I won’t be participating, because I don’t think it’s appropriate to *celebrate* anyone’s death, regardless of what I think of them personally.
I don’t have anything good to say about Mr. Breitbart, but I won’t say anything bad about him, either. But I *will* say that I saw him on Cenk Uygur’s show a couple of weeks ago, and that he seemed . . . kind of disjointed in his speaking. He struck me and my wife as a little incoherent, and we noted that the host let him speak pretty much as much as he wanted to. He was on for at least 10 minutes and spoke most of that time. Others who saw that show may recall that; it might be possible to find it on YouTube and see.
Whatever was going on, I hope that he wasn’t suffering from some illness or malady, and I hope he did not suffer when he died. And I hope his family finds some peace and resolution in their time of loss.

What does it say about his listerners and the rep party? who follow a high school drop out, ex drug abuser, the man has never protest, rallied or stood up for any causes.
Please right wing nuts when have you ever seen Rush at any event leading a cause? He exploits angry poor whites while he goes to the bank and collect millions off of them the man is brilliant””’

Jay, can’t believe this girl is EDUCATED. You need to listen to MSNBC and comment on what they say abou tRepublicans !!!!!!!! It is just as bad. They will support Hillary but make fun of Mrs. Bush and her daughters. Have you ever comment about Bill Maurs comment about Republicans ???

I doubt Rush will reflect on his own mortality with his best bud passing away last night. Bretibart is in……a place.
I thinkt the empathy he showed for Ted Kennedy’s family at the time of his passing should be the model for how his family and friends should be shown empathy now.

Adam – Like I told USinUK earlier, I don’t like to think about people dying that young, as I don’t want to think I’ve already lived over half my life/only have 16 years left.

Ken…..you are lying. There has not been one instance of any pundit on MSNBC or anywhere else that said anything derogatory about Laura, Jenna or Barbara Bush. You are lying. Find one clip, column, comment, tweet, ANYTHING from any political talk show host, radio, TV or web based that insults the Laura or her daughters…just one.
