Sandra Fluke is not a “slut.” She’s a femme-agogue tool; DCCC, Emily’s list fund-raise off of Rush
The Soros monkeys and assorted progressive agitators are using conservative radio giant Rush Limbaugh to raise money again.
This just came in my in-box:
“What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke [sic] 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.” — Rush Limbaugh
Michelle –
Rush Limbaugh is reading this e-mail.
Yesterday, while Rush was launching his latest vile attack on women who dare to speak up for our reproductive rights, he mentioned my e-mail to you on Wednesday night. I’ll spare you the details on his latest misogynistic rant, but it’s clear that he thinks he can shame us into silence.
Shockingly, the only ones silent about Rush’s hateful tirade are Congressional Republicans like GOP Leader Eric Cantor. Let’s call them out:
Help us reach 250,000 signatures today on our petition demanding Eric Cantor and House Republicans denounce Rush’s heinous attacks on women >>
Republicans in Congress thought they could silence us by refusing to let Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke testify on their all-male panel on birth control coverage. They were wrong.
Your grassroots response is already making headlines from ABC News to the Huffington Post. As Sandra put it yesterday:
“The millions of American women who have and will continue to speak out in support of women’s health care and access to contraception prove that we will not be silenced.”
Don’t let Republicans in Congress get away with a “no comment” on Rush’s outrageous smears. Either they’re okay with his vile attacks on women or they’re not.
Add your name right now: http://dccc.org/Denounce-Rush
Thanks for standing strong,

Hey, so much for keeping a laser-beam focus on jobs, jobs, jobs, eh?
My two cents: Yes, we’re seeing the usual left-wing double standards when it comes to defending women against sexist putdowns. The language Rush used is completely unacceptable…except when it’s used against the likes of Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, myself, and every other prominent female conservative in public life, of course.
I’ll tell you why Rush was wrong. Young Sandra Fluke of Georgetown Law is not a “slut.” She’s a moocher and a tool of the Nanny State. She’s a poster girl for the rabid Planned Parenthood lobby and its eugenics-inspired foremothers.
Appearing on NBC’s “Today,” Sandra Fluke said she was “stunned” and “outraged” by Limbaugh’s comments, which she deemed “an attempt to silence me, to silence all of us from speaking about the healthcare we need.”
Fluke, a third-year law student, testified about Georgetown’s policy on contraception during an unofficial hearing last Thursday that was led by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). She argued that birth control should be covered by health insurance at religious institutions.
Pelosi arranged for Fluke to testify after she was excluded from an official congressional hearing on the contraceptive mandate in the nation’s health-care law. Republicans who ran the hearing said Fluke’s name was submitted too late (Democrats disagree). None of the women who testified at the congressional hearing spoke in favor of the mandate.
At Pelosi’s hearing, Fluke said her fellow students at Georgetown, a Jesuit university, pay as much as $1,000 a year for birth control because campus health plans do not include coverage of contraceptives for women.
I’ll let Georgetown student Angela Morabito respond best:
Sandra Fluke doesn’t speak for me. Or for Georgetown.
She doesn’t speak for those of us who worked hard to be able to choose to come to a great institution with a great tradition of faith and scholarship. She certainly can’t speak for the Jesuits who dedicated their lives to God and Education with a long established set of rules. There are only ten of them, and Ms. Fluke would do well to give them a quick read.
If she wants a more liberal sex life, she can go to Syracuse. (Syracuse, I must apologize – but we are in March and basketball matters – sorry you got caught up in this.)Sandra doesn’t even speak for all skanks! She only speaks for the skanks who don’t want to take responsibility for their choices. That’s a tiny group of people. Hey Sandra! How about next Saturday night, you come hang out with me and my gay boyfriends! Your hair will look fabulous and you’ll get to see great musical theatre! Oh, and odds of you getting pregnant? Zero percent.
Even the oh-so-left HuffPo called Sandra out on her media sluttery: ”Fluke got the stage all to herself and was hailed as a hero by the crowd and Democratic lawmakers on the panel, all of whom rushed to appear on camera with her at the end. “Excuse me. I’d love to get a picture with our star,” Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) said as she pushed her way through the packed room to Fluke.”Star of what? Star of the bedroom sex tape? When did Georgetown Law start admitting Kardashians?
Sandra, we might be on the same campus, but we are not on the same planet.
Sandra told some sob stories about how contraception isn’t covered by the Jesuit institution we attend. (Maybe they don’t cover it because, you know, they’re a Jesuit institution. Religious freedom? Anyone? Bueller?)
A student group called Plan A H*yas for Choice staged a demonstration against the university health plan last year, duct taping their mouths and chaining themselves to the statue of Georgetown’s founder on the university’s front lawn. Then, a funny thing happened – nothing. We left them there. Now Sandra has chained herself to the sinking ship of Pelosi Liberalism. She will always be remembered as a Welfare Condom Queen.
Let’s talk priorities here. It costs over $23,000 for a year at Georgetown Law. Sandra, are you telling us that you can afford that but cannot afford your own contraception? Really? Math was never my strong suit, but something about Sandra’s accounting just doesn’t seem right.
No one forced Sandra to come to Georgetown. And now that she has, Sandra does not have to depend on the university health plan. She could walk down the street to CVS and get some contraception herself. Or, go to an off-campus, non-university doctor and pay for it out of pocket. (Or, you know…maybe not have so much sex that it puts her in financial peril?)
Funny how the same side that cries “Get your rosaries off my ovaries” is the same side saying, “on second thought…please pay for me to have all the sex I want!” The people who espouse “pro-choice” “values” are the same people who say religious institutions have no right to choose.
Yep. Sandra Fluke’s no “slut.” Call her moocher. Tool. Hypocrite. And budding femme-agogue. Won’t be long before she’s Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s new press secretary. Screechy McScreeches of a feather…
***
Who is Sandra Fluke? JWF takes a closer look:
For me the interesting part of the story has the ever evolving “coed”. I put that in quotes because in the beginning she was described as a Georgetown law student. It was then revealed that prior to attending Georgetown she was an active women’s right advocate. In one of her first interviews she is quoted as talking about how she reviewed Georgetown’s insurance policy prior to committing to attend and seeing that it didn’t cover contraceptive services she decided to attend with the express purpose of battling this policy. During this time she was described as a 23 y/o coed. Magically at the same time congress is debating the forced coverage of contraception she appears and is even brought to capitol hill to testify. This morning in an interview with Matt Lauer on the Today show it was revealed that she is 30 y/o NOT the 23 that had been reported all along.
In other words, folks, you are being played. She has been an activist all along and the Dems were just waiting for the appropriate time to play her.

And now another Rush-bashing fund-raiser has hit my email box:
Dear Friend,
It’s not a big secret: Rush Limbaugh is no friend to women. But this time, he has seriously crossed a line.
By now, you’ve probably heard of Sandra Fluke. She’s the Georgetown Law student who was denied the right to testify in front of the sham, no-women-allowed hearing that Republicans held on access to birth control. I was there when Democrats gave her the chance to testify, and I saw a brave, intelligent, and articulate advocate for women.
So Rush Limbaugh called her “a slut.” And he called her “a prostitute.”
Our pro-choice Democratic women in the House are fighting back against these attacks. They’ve called on their Republican colleagues to — finally — condemn Rush Limbaugh for what he’s said. We want you to join them.
Click here to tell Republicans that it’s time to stand up to Rush Limbaugh and condemn him for his vile and despicable comments about Sandra Fluke and all women.
Rush Limbaugh didn’t stop with the attacks on Sandra Fluke. He offered to buy her and all the women at Georgetown “as much aspirin to put between their knees as they want.”
Make no mistake. People like Rush Limbaugh want to punish each and every one of us for the crime of speaking out on our own behalf. When Rush calls Sandra Fluke “a slut,” he’s calling all of us sluts.
We have a choice. We stand apart silently, or we stand together with voices raised. I choose to be heard, and I hope you join me.
Thank you.
All the best,
Amy K. Dacey

Why shouldn’t a double standard exist?
Chapoutier- “How do we know you don’t prefer the company of small woodland creatures? I guess we don’t. So I guess you have no issue with me referring to you as a squirrel rapist.”
Because i have never gotten up before congress and asked for them to pay for me to rape small woodland creatures. Fluke did ask congress to pay for her sex life and she put a really high price tag on it. Ergo, she is a slut.
Logic, you should try it some time.
“The word that applies to both is fornicator. “Slut” is just shorthand for women, and “hound dog” is for men. (Yes, there is a double-standard which should not exist.) BTW, a child born of fornication is called a “bastard.””
No, the double standard should exist. Why? Because being a “hound dog” or stud is hard. being a slut is easy.
Chap:
Are you calling conservative hispanic a mass-murderer because he’s Hispanic?
Then I guess you are a racist.
Stacey:
Waste all the time you want defending slutty liberal women. Some of them are easy and will sex-up with a guy just so he won’t delete her off of myspace.
I didn’t see you or any other liberal defend Sarah Palin in 2008 when the left came viciously after her and her daughter. All I saw was a bunch of your friends in the MSM trying to get Levi Johnston to say bad things about the Palins.
The equivalent of justice here (since libs are so bent on “equality” would be to find the men (and women?) this S. Fluke has been sleeping around with (if her testimony is accurate, that shouldn’t be too hard) and getting to see the other side of her, you know, the one didn’t show up all dressed up with a prepared speech that boiled down to PAY for my man-partner’s condoms.
I don’t think you and the democrat party stand for the same values anymore and I don’t think you have the confidence in Barack Obama and a good chunk of other liberal politicians that you’d have us believe.
You can hide behind the shrugs and smiley faces all you want. I’m just too experienced and have been around too long to fall for your nonsense.
To the rest:
Barack Hussein Obama and Joesph Biden will be defeated in 2012 and the republicans will win the Senate.
First, because it is actually hypocritical for a guy who sleeps around to lambast a woman for doing the exact same thing. (As opposed to the left’s false accusations of hypocrisy.)
Second, it’s an actual contradiction. In order for men to sleep around, there have to be women willing to sleep around. But telling women not to sleep around contradicts what men are supposedly supposed to (or at least expect to) do.
Third. Sleeping around is harmful to everyone who does it, leading to economic, emotional, medical and family costs. Such behavior weakens society as a whole. (See “The American Sex Revolution” by Pitirm Sorokin.)
Finally, real men are protectors of a woman’s virtue, not destroyers.
No she didn’t. Which you would know if you had actually read her testimony rather than spouting off ignorantly.
Forgot to add…”rather than spouting off ignorantly you squirrel rapist.”
Only half true. It’s true that she was talking about “other” women’s sex lives. But she was still asking Congress to force someone else to pay so they could have sex.
Though it would not surprise me a bit if she wants a piece of that action, too.
No, she didn’t. She focused on women in real
medical need of medication but were denied because of provincial attitudes.
That was not her primary point. She just threw that in to try buttress her primary point: Birth control.
As has already been shown, birth control pills aren’t even the only treatment for those conditions, so treatment wasn’t being denied, just payment for treatments they wanted to use as an excuse to force birth control on the university in violation of the First Amendment.
Access to birth control is NOT being prevented! (That is the big lie here.) The pill is cheap enough that just about anyone can afford it. (For the record, I pay more out-of-pocket in one month to treat my wife’s diabetes than “the pill” costs for an entire year.) She explicitly asked Congress to force someone else to pay for it. That is the main point, and your sophistry does not change that one whit.
You either haven’t actually read her testimony or are being purposely obtuse. The only time she brought up birth control to prevent pregnancy was in the context of her friend, who was both gay and had an actual medical need, being questioned by the insurers and the school about her motives.
And conservatives claim that they want to keep healthcare decisions between the doctor and patient. This episode clearly demonstrates the fallacy of that argument.
You obviously think we’re all stupid. The primary use of contraception is, surprise, surprise, preventing pregnancy!
Here is the transcript of her statement:
Sandra Fluke Opening Statement, February 23rd, 2012
Stop lying, Chap.
Government should have no role in these decisions. Access is not being restricted. What conservatives want is for Ms. Fluke to stop expecting others to pay for her or her friend’s contraception. She wants to live as she sees fit, but expects everyone else to pick up her tab? That is insane!
No. I give you the choice of stupid, illiterate, lazy or disingenuous. Because those are the only options for someone who claims to have read her testimony yet still is making false statements.
Which are you? My hope is just lazy but mh sneaking suspicion us disingenuous.
Access is restricted when a doctor says you need a medication and both the insurance company and the employer can override that decision.
Why do you care more about the medical opinion of a Jesuit than an actual doctor?
And why do you and the leftist parasites you swill with keep insisting that healthcare is a right? Lawyer up and show me in the Bill of Rights where it says this.
She said 40% of women at the school need birth control. I looked up the number of students at that school and found a couple of different numbers. One was over 16,000, the other over 15,000. For the sake of round numbers, lets go with 15,000 even.
Now, lets assume half those students are women. That’s 7,500. 40% of that is 3,000 women.
Are you claiming that every single one of those women need birth control pills for medical reasons that have nothing to do with pregnancy? Are you even saying that more than half of those women (1,500) need “the pill” only for reasons other than birth control?
Ms. Fluke started off with a couple of stories that were only about birth control. Are you claiming that she did not ask that someone else (the school and/or the insurance company) pay for those pills solely for the purpose of birth control? Because that is exactly what she did!
Reread that story of the girl with the cyst. There are several elements that make it sound like a lie. The big one is this: Why did she insist that birth control was the only treatment she would accept, to the point where she put her life in danger? We’ve already established that there are other equally valid treatments for that condition. That smacks of either incompetent doctors, someone with an agenda, or someone stupid.
Further more, a situation like that is the exception, not the rule. If we saw a field with 99 white swans and 1 black swan, and you pointed at the black swan and tried to claim that all swans were black, I would think there was something very wrong with you. Well guess what, you’re trying to do the same thing here.
Get this through your thick skull, numb nuts:
“The pill” is dirt cheap. Condoms are dirt cheap. Both are even cheaper than flea and tick meds to protect a dog or cat. No one is unable to afford them.
Refusal. to. pay. for. these. things. so. someone. else. can. get. their. freak. on. is. NOT. the. same. thing. as. DENYING. all. access. to. them!!!!
Your attempt to pretend otherwise is a flat out lie.
Get it?!?
First, invalid question. The “medical opinion of a Jesuit” is not in question. They’ve made no medical pronouncements. Knock off the sophistry. Now for the real point:
The Obama administration is BREAKING THE LAW!!
First, the Federal Government does not have the Constitutional (that’s LAW) authority to force someone to pay for a product.
Second. Telling someone that they must violate their religion is a violation of the First Amendment. You know, part of that pesky Constitution (LAW!) thing?!? In case you’ve forgotten:
You are not freely exercising your religion if you are forced to violate it.
Get this straight, chap. When it comes to being forced to obey the government, or obey God, the answer is easy: God wins.
Come on, Chap. No one is “overriding” a decision of a doctor that someone “needs” a medication.
First of all, contraceptives aren’t “medication”. Fertility is not a disease. Contraceptives are an expense given a particular (voluntary) activity.
Second, the only thing an insurance company or employer is overriding is the requirement to pay for that expense, not the “need”.
Her friend who needed the pill for a medical issue rather than birth control still could have bought them on her own and rather inexpensively as some here have pointed out. Her friend could also have informed her doctor that she was having trouble affording the medication and the insurance wouldn’t cover it. The doctor probably would have given her samples. Or perhaps even the pharmaceutical company could have helped her. Or perhaps her so-called friends could have taken a collection for her. There are other options, but Ms. Fluke and her ilk would rather stick it to those who disagree with her.
HA! Yes. And to the lengths this current admenstruation will go to, to take your mind off the price of gasoline.
Chap et al; Someone is asking for someone else to pay for their contraceptives/morning after pill/abortions. I read a great article today about why the left treats sex one way, and eating problems another. The same group of smarter than everyone bans fast food so children don’t get fat, while it mandates the same children be given birth control medicines, etc. so they can become promiscuous sleazes. I don’t want to pay for anyone elses life choices. I didn’t in the 50′s, and we had way less bastards demanding cradle to grave care, including birth control and food.
