Sandra Fluke: Rush apology doesn't change anything (with View hags)
Washington Examiner ^ | 3+5+12 | Charlie Spierling

Posted on 03/05/2012 10:58:11 AM PST by STARWISE

On the View this morning on ABC, Sandra Fluke did not appear willing to accept Rush Limbaugh's apology issued over the weekend for calling her "a slut" on his program.

"Well, let me just say this, and I encourage everyone to look at the statement in its entirety online but what I have to say is that I don't think that a statement like this issued saying that his 'choice of words was not the best' changes anything." said Fluke, when asked by Barbara Walters if she accepted the apology.

"Especially when that statement is issued when he's under significant pressure from his sponsors who have begun to pull their support from the show." she added.

When asked if she wanted Rush Limbaugh fired, Fluke said she would "leave that up to the sponsors, to Clear Channel Communications and to the members of the American public who support those companies."

"Americans have a long tradition of supporting companies that share their values that they have and i'm sure that they will continue to uphold that tradition." she added.

Someone posted a suggestion at Big Government.com that we send unused condoms to Ms Fluke. I mean, if she can’t afford them, it would nice to help her out.

"Americans have a long tradition of supporting companies that share their values that they have and i'm sure that they will continue to uphold that tradition." she (Fluke) added.

She is 100% correct. All the Left-supporting wimps who bailed on Rush are finding out today how much business they are just beginning to lose. The new advertisers lining up are very happy campers.

Well in one way she is correct. The appology does not change the fact that she is still a slut.

The leftists love their political theater.

And too many fall for it, pathetically.

Fluke's parents must be so proud. Their family name is now urban slang.

Fluke - A women of college ages who engages in so much sexual activity she can no longer afford birth control.

Usage: Hey, let's run down to the college this weekend and try to pick up some flukes.

I think Rush handled the bailing advertisers question pretty well in his first hour today.

When the Fluke strumpet finishes having her way, and the rest of us are taking out loans to subsidize her sexual activities, we won’t be able to spend money on advertiser’s products that we don’t necessarily need. We will also stop spending money to purchase products that advertise on liberal media. I think a boycott is in order until the Democrats and Fluke apologize for wanting us to subsidize their immorality, and for trying to strong arm religious institutions into giving up their Constitutional right to keep government out of their moral decisions.

Gee, the Georgetown-area feminists were giddy with delight at the word last year.

Wonder what changed?

“I think you’re doing a disservice by comparing yourself, because this was not someone who made one accidental statement,” Fluke said. “This was three days of significant portions of his three-hour show. He insulted me and the women of Georgetown — who have received no apology – he insulted us over 53 times.”

On “The View,” Fluke said Limbaugh was not alone in attacking her personally for her viewpoint.

“It is really important for us all to understand that this was not one person who went crazy and made ‘funny’ outrageous statements,” Fluke said. “This is evidently a segment of our political commentators who think that it is acceptable in today’s society to say these things about women.”

Fluke said Limbaugh also had incorrectly portrayed her testimony. Fluke said she advocated for a woman’s right to contraceptives as a part of health insurance coverage. She did not argue that the government should pay for contraceptives, but said employers and universities that offer health insurance plans should ensure such coverage is included in those plans.

I've been following this pretty closely, and I don't recall Rush issueing any apology to the "View" hags. He doesn't care what they think, and what they think is so predictable it's not funny.

What can I say about them...birds of a feather?
