admittedly i dont bother much with watching/reading the events in realtime, as i have you guys for the cliif note/dummies version...but if this is it, rush screwed the pooch, and missed a golden opportunity to shine the light back onto planned parenthood, which most ALL wimmin know of, and can use to get FReebies...
this was/is a goldmine of rebuttable stuff, and skank that this commie activist is, she didnt speak of her own activities...
Yes. Big-time. Fluke never mentioned her own sex life. Never said she was on contraceptives or that she had ever taken contraceptives.
Fluke gave the stories of six other specific women.
Then Rush said that Fluke - Fluke - was a slut and a prostitute. Rush said that Fluke said she was getting so much sex she couldn't pay for it. Rush questioned how proud Fluke's parents were about all of her recreational sex.
All of that sex that Fluke never mentioned a single time.
Rush counted the number of condoms that Fluke needed for the amount she said she spent on contraception . . . but Fluke said how much one woman (not Fluke) who was taking birth control pills for a medical condition paid for them.
So . . . while conservatives had the high moral ground on the issue of Obamacare forcing religious healthcare plans to provide care than ran against religious principles (like contraception), we lost it because of Rush. He had to apologize. People on FR are calling Fluke a slut, saying she's round-heeled.
Rush could have attacked all of the BS in Fluke's testimony. Instead, he apologized and whenever the issue of Obamacare and contraception comes up, what will be remembered is Limbaugh erroneously calling Sandra Fluke a slut and then apologizing. Not that Georgetown shouldn't have to pay for contraceptives against Roman Catholic religious principles.
You said 'Rush screwed the pooch." Yep.
I can see the problem with where Rush went politically ,
Republican are having a hell of a time getting traction on the theme that this is about Religious freedom. Dems claim it is about women's health, which in many cases birth control pills are.
But also in today's modern culture of “My sexual activity is my business, but my health care bills are your responsibility”, women's ability to have sex without pregnancy is equated to their health. And Rush goes out and attacks her jokingly on an assumed sexual activity of hers, wrt to free birth control pills.
In this insane world homosexuals have the right to sexual freedom, but we are responsible for the bills.
BTW Don't smoke because that's a public health issue if you do,
NO. Rush made his remarks based on 'press releases' , not a transcript of what she said. And what she said is that all her friends at Georgetown are sluts.
