Pelosi: Limbaugh's 'vicious attacks' on student uncivilized By Mike Lillis - 02/29/12 08:23 PM ET
House Democrats went after Rush Limbaugh Wednesday for his attacks on a university student who recently testified before Congress on women's reproductive health.
Limbaugh on Wednesday called Georgetown Law Center student Sandra Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute" for her support of the Obama administration's new birth-control mandate.
Behind House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the Democrats said Limbaugh's remarks were uncivilized and misogynistic. They're asking Republican leaders to denounce the popular conservative radio host.
Limbaugh's attacks, the Democrats said, "are outside the circle of civilized discussion and … unmask the strong disrespect for women held by some in this country."
"We call upon the Republican leaders in the House to condemn these vicious attacks on Ms. Fluke, which are in response to her testimony to the Congress," they added.
Aside from Pelosi, Democratic Reps. Louise Slaughter (N.Y.), Rosa DeLauro (Conn.), Carolyn Maloney (N.Y.), Elijah Cummings (Md.) and Diana DeGette (Col.) – as well as Del. Eleanor Holmes-Norton (D.C.) – endorsed the message.
Fluke has become something of an unwitting celebrity on Capitol Hill this month after Republicans on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee denied the Democrats' request to have her testify on Obama's new birth control mandate. Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) argued that the policy concerns religious freedom, not reproductive health.
Democrats pounced, hoping to portray the Republicans as out-of-touch with women's healthcare needs. To highlight the saga, Democratic leaders had Fluke discuss the issue last week before the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee.
That testimony led Limbaugh to claim Wednesday that Fluke "wants to be paid to have sex."
"What does it say about the college co-ed Susan [sic] Fluke who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex? What does that make her?" Limbaugh asked. "It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute.
"She wants to be paid to have sex," he added. "She’s having so much sex she can’t afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex."
Pelosi and the Democrats are hoping such statements from conservatives will help them with Independent voters – particularly women – in November.
"Democrats will always stand up for women’s health and women’s voices,” their statement concludes.
Looks like Rush really got under that stretched-like-a-snaredrum skin of Pelosi’s.
Whenever a politician attacks a private citizen by name and demands retribution for what that citizen said, that’s fascism, pure & simple.
It’s also fun to watch, just like seeing secondary explosions from the cockpit of a bomber.
FU satan... you dress wearing whore.
LLS
If she thinks Rush was bad, she should listen to Glenn Beck’s comments. Unfortunately this student represents the “Entitlement Generation” and soon they will outnumber us. If the U.S. doesn’t get a fiscal conservative in office soon, we’re doomed.
And Nancy brings a knife to a gunfight. Go Rush.
Can’t wait to tune in today, he gets so into their heads.
I think some of her supposed “birth control” money is spent on her dates buying extra strong paper bags, and still needing to double bag.
Yes. That is rude and juvenile.

Seems to be all he's good at.(besides destroying America)
Universal suffrage is a problem of its own right. Take the vote away from those who are on the dole.
Our government needs to stay out of the sound stations in America. My ears, my body. And little Miss Fluke needs to open more book and less leg.
Rumer!! Rumer Willis!!?! Is that you?
Maybe Georgetown should let parents know it has to raise tuition to pay for the free sex premiums. That should go over well. /s
GREAT idea...these 'whores and sluts' have parents...let THEM pick up the tab. Love it!
Who couldn’t have called this?
“Big bad conservative man attacks poor wittle girl cahwedge student.”
Pelosi and Fluke should check Proverbs where they will find Our Maker calls her even worse names.
Guilty!
Yes. They have been screaming bloody murder for years that the government needs to stay out of the bedroom. This situation applies.
Ha... ha...ha!!!
Walking around with a tattoo on your forehead that says: ‘I am a slut’ is kind’s asking for the worst!!!!
I call on House Democrats to denounce Nancy Pelosi for being humorless and Limbaughphobic.
