Sandra Fluke to campaign with Obama in Denver
Daily Caller ^ | August 7, 2012 | Caroline May

Posted on 08/07/2012 9:30:29 AM PDT by Zakeet

Noted contraception activist Sandra Fluke will be introducing President Barack Obama at a campaign stop in Denver, Colo. Wednesday according to the Denver Post.

Fluke is expected to introduce Obama in downtown Denver at the Auraria Campus, during a campaign stop centered on his economic plans, the outlet noted. Fluke’s appearance will likely add a second dynamic, with the campaign, in recent months, attempting to highlight differences between Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s stances on women’s issues to Obama’s left-leaning approach.

Fluke endorsed Obama in June.

The former Georgetown Law student, turned face of the contraception movement, came to national prominence in late February when she testified before congressional Democrats about the need for government mandated contraception coverage and received a phone call from Obama when her plea for free birth control resulted in radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh characterizing her as a “slut” and “prostitute” — comments for which Limbaugh later apologized.

Actually I would pay for her to not reproduce.

Make it a tubal ligation and call it money well spent.

Sandra Fluke? Isn’t she the slut that wants us to pay for her sex? (I guess that would make her a prostitute also)

Well what do you know! Rush is right again

Has this 30-something demo-dilettante ever found work, or is she still depending on the kindness of strangers and taxpayers?

So so far the Obama lineup includes seditionists, racists, fags, and sluts. All he has to do is fill in the pederast and felon gaps and he’ll have the roster complete.

In regards to the feminists I’ve always suspected that what drives a lot of their fury is that they are so physically unappealing and resent physical beauty(and intelligence) in women who don’t identify themselves as ‘’feminists’.

Ms. Fluke described herself as a slut according to Webster's dictionary

No, she didn't. Read her statement and don't simply believe what people claim.

Fluke said she was going to speak for other women and not herself. She then told the stories of seven women involving contraception. Most of the stories were ridiculous, such as one woman not going for an STD test after being raped because she assumed that if contraceptives weren't covered, then nothing involving her vajayjay would be covered.

She said that contraceptives for a law student "could cost" up to $3,000 a month - technically true if you have a medical condition that required a specific contraceptive, but a typical Democrat distort the facts statement.

However, at no point - at absolutely no point - in her statement did Fluke discuss her own sex life or her own use or cost of contraceptives.

She may be a liberal, activist, blowhard, but thanks to the mistake of Rush Limbaugh (who was riffing on an article about her statement, and hadn't seen her statement), we're all concentrating on how Fluke is a 'slut' when she didn't mention her own sex life or contraceptive use at all.

The 'slut' talk drew conservatives away from what we should have been doing - addressing each of the little stories Fluke told and pointing out why it was ridiculous and was no ground for violating the religious freedom rights of religiously affiliated employers. However, we lost that chance when we started talking about the number of Fluke's sexual partners and her being a slut - all things that were never part of Fluke's statement.

Good morning.

No, she didn't. Read her statement...

Of course I didn't read her statement, I saw excerpts of what she said on TV. If she was talking in the third person, fine, and I believe what you state.

Plus, I really don't care about her or her testimony in front of a fake committee hearing.
