IIMHO, Rush was not offensive. Perhaps not tactful, but certainly not offensive, IMHO.
Sandra Fluke admitted openly, to a congressional committee, that she is openly and extremely promiscuous.
The definition of slut is: “A person, particulalry a woman, considered to be sexually promiscuous.”
So, by her own admission and testimnony she meets the definition.
Perhaps Rush could have been more circumspect or polite in his dialog...but this woman is being used...willingly...to try and change the very fabric of both our freedoms and our mores. She is, wittingly or unwittingly, an enemy to the very fabric of our free society. To speak directly to such is not a crime, and should not be shyed away from.
I do not believe Rush owed an apology. He should simply have explained it in these very direct and factual terms and indicated that if Sandra does not want to be considered by others to be the very deifinition of a slut, then perhaps she should not act like one and openly admit to being that very thing, before congress no less.
Words have meaning. Actions have consequences.
When I was youung, this type of behavior was considered very wrong and looked down upon. It led to broken families and bastard children who had one or two strikes against them (and even today, if you look at the statistics, the same holds true) from the get go. Such behavior was called the wrong it is and society sought to limit it as a result.
Now today, the people engaged in such behavior not only do not want it called wrong, they want to be held up as an example of courage to do what they “feel”. And President’s (at least this one) points to it and lauds it and disparages those who call it what it really is.
Well, it turns our Miss Fluke is an activist on these matters. She considers and calls herself a, “reproductive rights activists,” whatever that means...though it is clear that she is not in favor or advocating reproduction at all...but the opposite. It also turns out that she advocates for the public, meaning all of us taxpayers, to be put on the lamb to pay for all gender change operations that anyone desire too. But that part of her agenda isn’t being discussed...yet.

Jeff, you are usually right, but she did not do that.
She never mentioned her own sexual behavior once (probably by design and for good reson), but she just didn't.
This Rush thing seems so orchestrated. The left knew he would eventually say something he himself may second guess. Now they put into a plan to try to silence him, and serve as a warning to other conservative voices that their livelihood is at stake if they say something that they can use against them.
It means she agitates for free birth control, wherever she goes. She enrolled at Georgetown for the sole purpose of protesting the school's practice of not paying for contraceptive pills or devices.
It was not a Congressional committee to which she was making her statement last week. The Republican chairman of the committee she wanted to address refused to have her as a witness, so the Democrats created this political theater in order to publicize her statement.
Jeff, if you were President, we’d have to hire the entire Marine Corps(e) to replace the secret service.
[Sandra Fluke admitted openly, to a congressional committee, that she is openly and extremely promiscuous.]
You are wrong. No where, in her testimony before an UNOFFICIAL Democratic-sponsored hearing on Feb. 23 does she say that she PERSONALLY uses birth control or has sex. No where did she say she was 23 years old - as others have ranted about.
She said “without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3000 during law school” and she wasn’t talking about condoms or BC pills, she was talking about overall BC INSURANCE coverage.
Here is the transcript of her testimony at the unofficial
Democratic-sponsored hearing on Feb. 23;

I am a Catholic and oppose Obama’s efforts to go against our moral beliefs and the separation between church and government. We can’t let him win this and we know the democrats used this woman, as a tool, to scare women regarding the restriction of contraceptives.
At the same time, I support TRUTH above all and it’s obvious after reading posts for many days, that few people bothered to actually read her testimony. It seems that even Rush didn’t read it!!
