I agree to a certain point.
The woman lied before Congress and I have no issue calling her a liar. That is the truth.

If she had testified to having sex with tons of partners, I would have no problem calling her a slut. Why? Because it would be true.

However, she never mentioned her sex life in that testimony. The testimony was misrepresented to us and until I listened myself I was arguing on a false premise. I felt deceived and frankly I was embarrassed.

I am truly sorry about your embarrassment, but that more a statement about your critical thinking skills than Rush's performance.

While Moira Lasch never said a word about her own sex life, is there any doubt in your mind about her suppositions and experiences after she tried to castigate William Kennedy Smith at the idea he could have sex twice in one night?

The fact is if you need a thousand dollars a year for birth control, you're talking about condoms, not the pill. And if you are talking about that many condoms, you're talking about alot of sex with men you don't trust to keep you free of disease, not men you don't want to make you pregnant.

So what kind of woman would make statements that presuppose such assumptions?

Here’s where you are wrong. It wasn’t misrepresented to “us” but “you” interpreted it incorrectly and argued on a false premise. I think you may be trying to give her the benefit of the doubt and missing the real issue.

I cringed when RL framed his commentary the way he did because I knew the media would run with it, in the wrong direction, and that even conservatives would take his comments out of context and miss the real issue.

I don’t like when anyone calls a woman a slut, or any other terms of that nature. Similar terms pertaining to males have different connotations. Less negative. But, we’re seeing an all out assault on men in our society so a few slang terms shouldn’t be cause for the assualt directed at RL on this matter. However, the media is certainly playing it up. And, the women who get offended by the term “slut” have their “Slutwalks” so it’s a bizzare world.
