Sandra Fluke is Owed an Apology -- and so is Sarah Palin
yahoo ^ | 3/3/2012 | By Mark Whittington

President Barack Obama was so touched by the travails of Sandra Fluke, a Georgetown University law student derided as a "slut" by radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, that he called her personally on the phone to offer comfort and encouragement, according to the Washington Post.

Fluke had been dragged into her 15 minutes of fame when she gave testimony to an unofficial congressional committee to complain about the high cost of birth control for students whose contraceptive needs were not covered by insurance at religiously affiliated schools. Limbaugh, making something of a stretch by suggesting Fluke was demanding other people pay her to have sex, called her that name. Later he doubled down and demanded that if other people were going to have to pay for Fluke's birth control, she should provide a sex tape.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

But Limbaugh has also, perhaps inadvertently, exposed the double standard practiced by Obama and the absolute hypocrisy of the president and other liberals. Limbaugh notes Obama campaign contributor Bill Maher has called Sarah Palin names so vile that they cannot be repeated. Will Obama return the $1 million Maher has given to a pro Obama super PAC? Will Obama and other people shocked at Limbaugh's crass behavior toward Fluke also demand an apology to Palin by Maher?

The sad truth is Obama and company do not care about Fluke or her reputation that has been called into question by Limbaugh. She is just a convenient tool to be used in the unending campaign to remake American society. Maher was given money and rhetoric to that cause, so he has bought himself a pass. Indeed his utter degradation of the lady from Wasilla serves that cause. It is a very sad situation.

Letterman joked about Palins underage daughter being raped at Yankee stadium.

Sandra Bernhard joked about Palin being raped.

Bill Maher has called Palin a tw.t and a c..t, thats when he isn’t insulting Chrisitians in general.

Jerry Brown called Meg Whitman a whore.

Greta and Christine O’donnell were both called a slut.

Oh and lets not forget the quite common use of the profane term ‘teabaggers’ to refer to the Tea Party. Heck the President has used this term as has Anderson Cooper on prime time TV.

The author is clueless. Fluke is a 30 year old lesbian who set this up as a way of manipulating conservatives and advancing her “reproductive rights” and feminist agenda.

--------------------------

Fluke, is a political hack. Let her live her progressive life on her dime.

Democrat California Governor Jerry Brown called Meg Whitman a "whore"

I thought it was someone else on some conference call, not Brown himself? I could be wrong, but that was my recollection - but he didn't denounce it either.

It is what makes this fake moral outrage so disgusting. They defined the terms of the battle, they shouldn’t cry when we fight on their terms.

It was the "I thought the phone had hung up" defense.

Fluke deserves nothing. I looked up slut in the dictionary and the word seems appropriate. Ever listen to Joan Rivers? Every other word out of her mouth is slut or tramp. Rush is a TV and radio personality just like Rivers so why pick on him?

Sarah yes, Laura Ingraham yes, but for what is Fluke owed an apology? for having the truth told about her?

I am not sure of Sandra Fluke is a lesbian. Being unmarried, at 30 years old and being reasonably attractive, makes one suspicious. But assumptions about people can get one in trouble.

Here is a link to what Sandra Fluke has been involved with. It is about the Reproductive Justice movement and that sounds much like the Social Justice movement that we know is Marxist oriented. Here is one link that takes you into the world of Sandra Fluke and Reproductive Justice:
