Pelosi: Limbaugh's 'vicious attacks' on student uncivilized

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.

Who told them about these comments? I know they don’t ever listen to Rush. I thought it was actually funny.

Any day that Rush gets that demented sow aka Nutzi Pelousy into a frenzied rage is a VERY GOOD DAY.

The former Shrieker of the House represents a district saturated by whores, sluts, prostitutes and every kind of depraved scum imaginable. She’s just playing to her base.

She is too busy doing something other than fix her hair. If you are on the big stage like that, wouldn’t you? My thinking is that she is just an activist for hire whatever the cause and may even be a lesbian. But what do I know.

This is Pelosi’s whorish self loathing by child making proxy action.

She is for the Occupy the CAtholic Church movement, and this is all this is about:

To attack conservatives and construe them as anticondom and thus seize the CAtholics’ best and most politicaly advantageous assets: their doctors and health care.

Unless those women go by the name of Sarah Palin, Jan Brewer, Christine O'Donnell, Nikki Haley, etc.

Well, Stephanopoulos and OBama will have to because they are the ones orchestrating her as part of the OccupyWallStreet and OccupyCatholicHospitals schemes.

When society encourages these “women” to have sex, they turn into dikes. It’s a natural immune response to STDs.

It’s OK to be a whore if you get government allowance to be one. It’s been going on via welfare paychecks for a while now.

Private Bunny Ranch prostitutes are not PC, Stossel proved it and this proves it

THey all are skank cheap whores hypocrites.

A person who pays something like %50,000 a year to go to college is begging others to buy her birth control in public.

How is this not open to ridicule?

They have been screaming bloody murder for years that the government needs to stay out of the bedroom.

Yeah, about 40 years... ever since Roe v. Wade.

Since then the government has inculcated itself into nearly every other room:

The hospital room - with Obama Care

The boardroom - G/M., Chrysler

The classroom

The dining room with innumerable food regulations.

And even the bathroom - shower head and toilet regulations.

"Democrats will always stand up for women’s health and women’s voices,” their statement concludes.

I see, somehow believe a person is immune when having loose sex is health? Being deepthroated is supporting their voices?

But then we have laws against disturbing the habitat of spotted Owls and killing other birds so they do not infect them...

Welcome to Pelobama care! Where giving sugar to diabetics and sodomy are considered healthy and good medicine.

THis world is completely stuck on stupid and perversion. Soddom and Gomora does not have much on us. Touching angels is indeed forbidden.

NAh, not yet.

Right now we need Pelosi to be encouraged into her disturbing statements of offense hiding behind self-loathing.

Her mind is getting as distorted as her botox face.

Fluke being paid tax payer dollars to have sex? Technically Rush is right. Its state sponsored prostitution.Why should our tax dollars go for that? She can use private funds.
