I agree with what you say but my point is Rush called her a slut (which I agree she is, by the way) but name calling is just as sinful as what Ms. Fluke did and will most likely continue to do. The right thing to do is apologize for the personal assault. This doesn’t in any way ignore the behavior, just forgiving the sinner.

The difference is that the Fluke woman labeled herself first, scandalously and publicly in front of congress, and seemed smug and proud of it. The woman caught in adultery did nothing of the kind. So we are comparing apples to oranges, the two scenarios don’t really fit logically.

Jesus had no problem publicly calling out and condemning the pharisees when their words and actions were clearly in need of forthright condemnation. He cried Woe upon them!! This is much closer to the situation we have here - it is the calling out of truth - the word slut is a definition of a woman who engages in promiscuous activity.

See the difference? Rush was right to tell the truth; it is much closer to Jesus righteous anger at wrongdoers. He yelled at the sellers and buyers in the temple - calling them a den of thieves.
