Bill O’Reilly
“Who,” Fox News host
The Factor is having some trouble, O’Reilly explained, tracking down who it is, exactly, that has been setting up Fluke’s media appearances. Just last week, he shared, his show called Fluke on her cell phone, inviting her onto the show. She has yet to call them back. “Very unusual,” said O’Reilly. “There was no other public contact for the woman, just her cellphone.” All the show has been able to gather so far, he continued, is that a man named “Mike” has booked her onto a few programs, but it has not been able to find out his last name or obtain his contact information.
“Why the subterfuge?” O’Reilly asked.
It turns out that Fluke is now being represented by a “progressive PR agency” named SKDKnickerbocker, where none other than Anita Dunn happens to be managing editor.
“Ah-HA!” O’Reilly announced. “So this whole deal comes back to the White House, at least indirectly.”
The host gave a brief synopsis of how Fluke ended up on our national radar, calling the controversy she has been linked to “completely bogus” because of the existence of Title X, which allows those who want to purchase birth control to do so for a mere 9 bucks per months at your local drugstore. (Nine dollars?! That’s cheaper than a sandwich in Manhattan.)
O’Reilly brought on radio host Laura Ingraham to weigh in further. Ingraham was surprised that Fluke, as a law student, is able to find the time to “jet around the United States” and talk about contraception.
“She doesn’t have enough money to buy the pill at nine dollars a month,” said O’Reilly (Again: Nine dollars? Is it really nine dollars?) “But she has enough money to fly coast to coast and all that.”
He summed up his theory on what is actually going on with Fluke:
There is no doubt in my mind, in my investigator’s mind that this woman, from the very beginning, was what they call “run” by very powerful people. It’s not an accident that Elijah Cummings, Nancy Pelosi, all these people, got her and put her in a position to get national exposure.
But now we see, alright, that Anita Dunn and her firm have embraced her. Now, she appeared on NBC 1, 2, 3, 4 times, CBS once, CNN once — no, five for NBC — and The View also. And each of these times, alright, there was a shadowy booking process. Because I spoke to some of these people. [...] She appears, she shows up. Somebody pays for all of that.
So I’m going to say — and I can’t prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, I think I will be able to — that this was run out of the White House. The White House ran this.

Who is running Sandra Fluke Vidoe Link
O'Reilly assigns far too much benefit to this topic. It hasn't helped Obama one bit, and actually seems to make the administration look petty,
Fluke is now the liberal’s Joe the Plumber phenomena.
No she was not!!! Darrell Issa's committee was looking into the question: Does the president have the constitutional authority to demand and mandate that Catholic universities (or churches or schools) provide not just contraception, but other medication that facilitates abortions taking place or that causes them to happen? Does he have the right to mandate that?
The democrats had a witness lined up for this hearing: Barry Lynn. And at 4:30 in the afternoon, they canceled. The Democrats pulled Barry Lynn out and said that they wanted Sandra Fluke to show up instead. And Issa said, "Who's this? We don't know who she is? She doesn't have any expertise." There's a 72-hour vet rule. They have 72 hours to figure out who the witnesses are, to see if they're qualified. Democrats didn't want that to happen.
Issa stood firm and said, "Sorry." So the Democrats staged a press conference made to look like a congressional hearing. And the whole purpose was to change the subject from Obama's mandating (anti-constitutionally) that insurance companies or churches provide, free of charge, contraception and abortifacients. They had to desperately change the subject. They changed the subject to contraception and how supposedly the Republicans were opposed to it, and thus the war on women.
He can do a kick-ass job when he wants to. I don’t think he’s pro-obama so much as he just wants obama back on his show.

The commie lib backfire is happening.

Rush did stumble on this one. I think he’s recovered well... but he did stumble. Bound to happen once in a while, given his style, which he himself freely admits as the cause for his stumble.
Basically he used the wrong word. He called her a slut when he should have stuck to the absolute truth: leftwing political operative and socialist hack. Not as sexy as “slut”... but absolutely 100% true.
I think instead of 30million listeners, after the slut comment he now has 32 million listeners. He called a spade, a spade. Nothing wrong with sobering truth.
She was brought in to testify before Congress, but the Republican committee chair refused to allow her to speak, because he saw it for what it was, a publicity stunt.
Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats staged a phony committee meeting, and the media filmed it as they would have a regular meeting. Most folks don't realize that.
“he should have stuck to the absolute truth: leftwing political operative and socialist hack.”
Exactly, RUSH’s mistake was that for a moment he believed that she was an student activist. He should have followed his own philosophy that everything the left does is manufactured. He should have dug deeper into this woman’s background from the beginning in order to expose her as just another leftist hack funded by the Obama regime - an illegitimate activist...a political whore if you will.
Bill rarely gets it right, but he displays pit bull tenacity when he does. Like the time he ran Prof. Sami Al-Arians out of the country.
But of course. Romney's the "severely acceptable" kind of Republican - one who won't rock the boat.
“leftwing political operative and socialist hack”
Wonder if there would have been the same firestorm if Rush had just called her Floosie Flookie ?
Or am I just dating myself?
The idiot Left probably wouldn’t get it - 2 syllable words you know.
I'm a Santorum guy. Newt would be fun to watch in the debates, and almost as acceptable as president. Romney, I suspect, would be another GHWB at best.
The presidency controls the political agenda in this country. I'd rather have a conservative in there. Yet I really, really want to see Obama humiliated, too.
Right, he should have stuck to the tried and true female slurs used time and again by bill maher, a twat and a c_nt.
No problem there, just ax our halfrican, communist, mooselimb pResident.
And the stupid moran does not even know that she is being used, abused and will be cast out with the garbage whenever her usefullness is over.
When you sleep with the dogs you’ll get fleas a she will soon learn.

I would love it if either Santorum or Newt get the nomination. I think someone would make a fortune next year selling DVDs of an Obama/Gingrich debate. The cynic in me believes that the GOP-e have already picked Bishop Romney and this is all just for show. I hope I’m wrong.
Why oh why then, haven't the Republicans made more of an effort to show she was a sham?? Are they going to mount ANY sort of concerted offense against Obama this year, or once again, are they going to allow the left to control the debate?
I thought the term princes of the church had to do with one of them who is chosen Pope.
Regardless, I’ve noticed a tilt from moderate to moderate conservative in recent BOR commentary which I attribute to comments I have heard personally and what I have read by others on FR that is he was less right leaning in the past few years beginning with his powder puff interview of His Excellency.
