Limbaugh, Fluke, ‘War on Women’ and the Travesty of Cravenly Caving to Lies of the Left
http://www.redstate.com/ ^ | March 05 2012 | Lori Ziganto

Posted on 03/05/2012 3:48:28 PM PST by Para-Ord.45

I learned something this weekend. Evidently, using the word slut is far more egregious than peeing on the Constitution and on personal and religious liberty. And being equated to a slut due to demanding that others pay for your personal sexual choices is more egregious than actually being a thirty year old perpetual student leech, spouting outright lies. Because, entitled.

I had another teachable moment as well: the GOP has yet to realize what a travesty it is to cravenly cave to lefty false narratives, unbelievably giving them credence. I realized that I am very concerned about the lack of testicles (is there a mandate to cover a pill for that?) in the GOP. But, hey, us dames will handle it with our huge sets of brass ovaries. I’ll start, as I’m a giver.

Let’s get the absurd slut faux-outrage and the hypocrisy out of the way first, since Leftist hypocrisy and misogyny happens so often that it’s nearly a cliche. For the record, Rush Limbaugh never called her a slut just for being on birth control.

“the GOP has yet to realize what a travesty it is to cravenly cave to lefty false narratives, unbelievably giving them credence.”

She nailed it.

Rush caved and waived the white flag for no other reason than being hung out to dry by the RINO GOP and fear.

Rush should have never called Fluke a slut or whore.
He now owed an apology..
.
An apology to genuine sluts and whores.

Fluke is a Moocher, who is soon to get her Looters License from Georgetown Law.

Sluts do it for fun, both participants win, Whores do it as an honest business of exchange of services for money; Both participants get what they want.. Win Win for all involved in both cases.

Moochers just take their share of what the Looters steal from the public.. The public looses. Fluke is a MOOCHER and a fledgling LOOTER.

This will be the last election for The GOP as we know it IMHO. I am hopeful another party will spring up that is Conservative and has a will to fight.

Apologize for nothing in the culture war, GOP, and take the fight to Obama.

Babbling incessantly about a fictitious “war on women,” Barack Obama and his band of hubristic hedonists play the victim even as they rape the freedom and conscience rights of the religious. Obamacare’s decree that the religious pay for the promiscuity of their employees and students represents the greatest government-directed assault on religious liberty in the history of America.

The audacity of the president’s secularist hope — which is nothing more than a totalitarian power grab against the Catholic Church and other denominations — is despicable. The GOP should apologize for nothing in this battle of the culture war and take the fight to him.

the will to fight... By calling people sluts? or by voting out incumbents? or replacing the lot of em??

These threads are the same as throwing away a car with a blown motor because it has a rusty lug nut... instead of fixing the motor, they sit back and pass judgment and blame something outside the engine compartment. fools...

Haven’t been duped I’m just throwing in a word that many others have used, since, for effect..

You miss the ENTIRE point.

That is what is getting my goat on this whole subject.

No one wants to discuss what this is all really about. It is all about hate and love for Rush.

But at least you defend Rush (as I did, by the way, until he apologized.)

This is why the left wins. They make it about personality, not actuality. And way too many of us let them form the debate.

“do any of you wonder what they are using this to cover up?

They are practicing the “Big Lie,” a simple message that viscerally resonates with people, told loud enough and often enough that people believe it, and with the intent to demonize and enemy and deflect public attention from real issues.

Here, it’s the message that evil Republicans want to take away your birth control, while diverting attention from a whole host of failed or deliberately destructive policies of this regime.

Rush caved and waved the white flag to stop the exodus of advertisers on the EIB network.

” There is a difference between heartfelt apology, and a political confession. An apology would not be enough to obtain release from prison, while a confession, which is a political statement that has nothing to do with the heart, held out the possibility of getting one out of prison:

Rush apologized for two words he used, but he has not confessed, so expect the Demagogic reign of terror to continue.

There is no need to continue fighting a losing battle. Strategic withdrawal allows counter attack and enemy bloodspilled in massive quantities.

The following is from the above link:

For me the interesting part of the story is 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-year-old 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 years old, 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.

While she is described as a “third year law student” they always fail to mention that she is also the past president of Law Students for Reproductive Justice.

that is a misapplication of military history. The good general, the commander of the 101st was surrounded. He was in his normal situation....... paratroops are commonly surrounded. He was asked to surrender. He chose not to surrender. He was unable to withdraw. He knew he could prevail till relieved.

Rush was not surrounded, he withdrew in the face of superior forces. Withdrawal was easy and will be shown to be the correct action

Rush won this one, big time.

He did apologize - for using the same kind of foul language the lowlife libs use and, as he put it, sinking to their level. It was a profoundly sincere apology and perfectly appropriate.

IN THE MEANTIME, he took advantage of the enormous audience he had today and brought everyone up to speed on the facts of the fraud the Dems and the MSM perpetrated last week.

And he is the only man who could have gotten that word out.

Now millions of people - who might not have been listening had Rush not been in the crosshairs all weekend - know that Sandra Fluke is no innocent student, but a bigtime activist that the Dem operatives used to nullify the Issa hearing on Obama’s outrageous extra-Constitutional power grab.

While she is described as a “third year law student” they always fail to mention that she is also the past president of Law Students for Reproductive Justice.

That's a resume-filler. Do you have any idea how many liberal 'student' causes there are at at law school, and all you have to do is to sign up for them? They all have officers. She lives for this stuff. She's been an Intern at the Coalition to Abolish Slavery and Trafficking. She's the Development Editor at the Georgetown Journal of Gender and the Law (that, actually, is probably a much more important position than being past-president of Law Students for Reproductive Justice, which means, among other things, abortion, because the Journal of Gender and the Law actually publishes something). She was on the Minor Domestic Labor Trafficking Fact-Finding Team at the Georgetown International Women's Human Rights Clinic. Vice President of the Georgetown Law Women's Legal Alliance. The Fran Kandel Public Interest Grant Recipient at the Women's Lawyers Association of Los Angeles.

In other words, hers is one of the top liberal resumes at Georgetown Law School this year. And there are matching and better sets of ultra-liberal resumes at all other major law schools this year . . . and there were each of the last ten years and there will be each of the next ten years.

She is 30-year-old ultra-feminist activist. At Cornell, she protested at least one pro-choice event as the treasure of Students Acting for Gender Equality.

She doesn't represent 'women', she represents uber elite women - trust-fund baby types. A woman who works and has to pay for her birth control knows how much it costs. This woman had no clue. She probably doesn't know how much tuition costs either - "Daddy pays the bills". If she's a 30 year old student with that much time - joining and running so many organizations - I'd say 'Daddy's' paying for his little princess to go to school and have fun. And Mommy just adores her lifestyle. She sure as hell isn't working to support herself.

I guess she - and her type - expect working women to pay more for health care so they can enjoy a free ride a little longer... and working men. Guess the rest of us can 'eat cake' while we're at it...
