Rush Limbaugh apologized on Saturday for calling a Georgetown Law student a slut for testifying about contraception and starting a firestorm of outrage. Kirsten Powers says the liberals who led the charge need to start holding their own side accountable.
Did you know there is a war on women?

Did he actually say she is a slut or was it an analogy that actually determined, yes she’s a slut?
This is so very well said. Don’t forget that Obama also called Tea Party people “tea baggers.” Any apologies there? Nope. What you are witnessing is the collapse of the state controlled media. It is so obvious to the public that these double standards abound. The MSM has no credibility.
Wait. Rules only apply to the Right? NO WAY!!!!
What will Rush do on Monday? I’m thinking this is shaping up to be a golden opportunity.
What Rush should have have said ‘’I’m sorry the woman is a slut’’.
As someone else (I forget who) observed about the left in general: If it weren’t for double standards, they’d have no standards at all.
I volunteer to give Kirsten a spanking.
My only disagreement with Rush Limbaugh is his apology. What he said was right on. We have too damned many of these little weasels, male and female, who day-by-day and hour-by-hour seek to destroy the fabric of our society and who are largely succeeding. Enough is enough and Limbaugh should stick by his guns.
As for Kirsten Powers, I see little glimmers from time to time that she is testing the conservative waters. Heavy emphasis on the "little glimmers."
I don’t usually agree with Kirsten, but she is right on this, no one confronts the left when they call names . . . just the right. And when you call them on it, they just get angry and nasty.
If anything she made herself out to be some kind of sex addict.
It’s ridiculous. I’ve overstated this and will say it again: with the garbage these people say about female conservatives they don’t deserve an apology.
She is at least thoughtful, respectful, and intelligent. I disagree with her, but this is a leftist with whom I would tolerate debate. They are few.

Really tired of him trying to make a virtue out of backing down. Use it or lose us. |
What about James "Drag a hundred- dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you'll find" Carville?
How about Democrats in general who think women as a class are so stupid they cannot take care of themselves without government assistance and cradle-to-grave care? There is no more insulting misogynistic behavior than that.
Wow. Kirsten Powers wrote this?
Sounds like she's on the edge of the sort of epiphany that launched Andrew Breitbart on his journey towards Conservatism.
It remains to be seen how fast and how far back Kristen walks this but, nevertheless, this is the sort of introspection that causes one to turn away from The Dark Side.
If the advertisers of The Daily Beast aren't badgered into calling for her head on a silver platter first.
See how I did that? She began her rant with a Biblical allusion to "shout from the rooftops" and I ended mine with a Biblical nod towards the calling for one's head on a silver platter for deigning to speak such insolence to men of power no matter how true.
Since when do I have a moral imperative to support someone’s bedroom activities ?
I’m actually a little envious about how often she apparently gets laid.
I do wonder, is she that good in bed that her many suitors make sure she is pleasured as much as she requires to keep her happy?
How does she find the time to make herself a available so often?
I suspect if she is getting laid so often it is more business than pleasure
If her product is so good and in such high demand it ought to be self sustaining and shouldn’t require a subsidy from me or any other person who pays taxes.
Is she to big to fail?
Or just plain hornier than anyone?
Hey Kaslin!!
Anyway: I wrote Rush like this:
Good he apologized... didn’t sound right....
BUT
Where have women come to where this law student can’t even get a guy to pony up for the price of her contraception?!
She (women in general) take all the risks, and even if you’re OK with abortion, it still is a dangerous, invasive procedure.... that only the woman is in a position to have done...
She probably splits dinner 50/50, pays for all the prophylactic devices.... Soon she’ll be paying for the fellow’s services too!
I think that Rush should have told the girl to ask a prostitute for ADVICE in SELF RESPECT!
If a woman can put her proclivities for her bedroom out and gives us a number that she demands we support, why is it we can’t take that number as an insult, while quantifying what that number represents?
This a business for her and society has a name for that business which really shouldn’t be any of mine.
[ Without it, the fight against media misogyny will continue to be perceived as a proxy war for the Democratic Party ]
Because with few exceptions, Kirsten, that’s what it is. When will you admit that to yourself and see the left for what it really is? Atleast Rush focused his comments at woman who insists on going in front of Congress to discuss her sex life and demand the power of Gov’t be used to force others to provide contraceptions to her for free. All so she can be free of responsibilty and consequence, and even if others have violate their conscience and abandon their religious beliefs.
I hope Rush reads this on his show on Monday.
Adios.
He just might. That could be his game plan here: To apologize then call out off those liberals to do the same, playing their comments one by one and calling them out as he does. He could then call out their advertisers and demand they cancel until the offending liberal apologizes.
This is an unmarried woman who apparently, based on her own testimony before Congress, needs $1000 a year in birth control. Since the Pill is $9 a month at Target and Wal-Mart, there was an inference made that she was buying a *lot* of condoms. And demanding we pay for them.
You insert yourself in the culture wars as she has done, in an attempt to use the power and force of Government to make people take actions contrary to their religious convictions, and you take what you get.
Fluke claims that she spent $1,000 per year on condoms, $3,000 over a period of three years.
Let’s do the math.
At CVS there are 55 different condom products and I’ve selected the following one since she claims that she’s a girl that just wants to have fun.
Durex Pack of Condoms. Includes Case, 3 Vibrating Rings and 48 Condoms (Assorted Flavors and Colors). Protects Against Pregnancy, HIV-AIDS and STDs when used as directed. Electronically tested for reliability. Made of Latex.
So for $1,000 per year she would get 50 of these packs, which would mean that she could have protected sex 2,400 times per year, which computes to 52 times per week, every week, with no time off, and means that she’s having sex 7.5 times a day.
When does she have time to go to class, agitate her causes, testify in front of a mock committee headed by Pelosi,take sympathy calls from Barry?
If indeed she is able to be this sexually active I shudder to see what her visits to her gynecologist cost.I assume that Georgetown covers those.
I thought she said she spent that much on birth control. Pills are far more expensive than condoms.
She must buy condoms with bells & whistles..
The required insurance policy at Georgetown runs $157 a month, and only allows for ‘free’ access to the on site clinic. It carries a $200 incidental deductible, and insurance ‘copays’ are $30 per prescription for the class that would include birth control pills (if they were covered.)
Target, down the street from the college, offers pills for $9, the prescription can be obtained at the college clinic.
For term health insurance for this group, the insurance rates are a massive ripoff. Rather than dancing around Washington, these students should be attending the economics class and then start questioning why the college is profiting off of a required medical plan ($5 per month additional for administration).
Even more, why these plans are being charged directly to the student account (where they are most likely to be included in a student loan package) so that not only are they getting ripped off, they’re getting ripped off for decades at interest.
The whole thing is a setup from start to finish. The ObamaCare like forced plan at the college, the non-inclusion of benefits, the rip offs - no one seems to question a mandatory insurance plan, even if the student is insured otherwise, that mostly includes the on site clinic which used to be free for students anyway.

Birth control pills are on the four-dollar list at Walmart.
It is time he stopped blowing his own horn and got back to doing what he does best.
No, he said she was a slut because what she claimed as her expenses for contraception would buy enough condoms to have sex 5 times a day.
menage a trois?
I'll bring the paddle.
I think I read that Carbonite was cancelling eventhough he apologized, as opposed to “until”, so the liberals should be cancelled even if they apologize if the same standard is used.
As for ‘birth control’ oral contraception is anything but. It is a carcinogen (Class 1). It is a massive dose of chemicals masquerading as natural hormones that ‘trick’ the body into thinking it is ‘pregnant’. It creates a uterine wall that doesn't accept implantation thereby causing a miscarriage, IE: chemical abortion, of a fertilized egg. It unnaturally regulates the natural menstrual cycle of a woman's’ body, and has been PROVED to increase serious risk factors for: uterine cancer, breast cancer and HEART DISEASE (particularly in women over the age of 35), and believe it or not: UNPLANNED PREGNANCIES. More than half the women who abort their babies do so while practicing one OR MORE forms of birth control! Most are on the oral birth control pill! It's called a failure rate and oral birth controls failure rate is close to 10%. If the failure rate of an airline flight was 10%, would you fly?
Every thing the Left says is a LIE! Everything they accuse others of is pure projection! To even engage in the discussion is to have lost the fight.
The proper answer for all concerned is that NOBODY WANTS TO TAKE BIRTH CONTROL AWAY FROM WOMEN: WE JSUT ARE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR A VOLUNTARY MEDICAL PROGRAM!
Blowing his own horn IS what he does best!
At the risk of sounding Rush esque - should we pay attention to what comes out of Powers’ mouth?
After all, we’ve all seen (sadly) what went in it a few years ago.

>”She must buy condoms with bells & whistles”<
They only whistle when she blows on them.
Rush should say NOTHING about this on Monday. Zip, zilch, nada. Discuss the important topics of the day only. Talk about the price of gas and the Keystone pipeline. Talk about our “friends” in Afghanistan killing our men. Talk about the real amout of joblessness. Talk about the new estimates of the price of obamacare. But do not say one word about this or anything about contraception. The MSM and the democrats put this on the table and it’s time for Rush to take it off the table.
Agreed.
Rush’s Monday broadcast will prove to be one of the most listened to programs since he began in 1988. The advertisers that remain will be happy about that.
Apparently, Ms. Fluke has had more things inside her than a parking garage.
