There’s nothing wrong in Rush’s apology. It was heartfelt and honest. He felt he violated his own sense of ethics and he apologized.
This is what decent people do. I wish more people had that kind of courage.
“Since Ms. Fluke is not a ‘public figure,”
Did she not make herself a public figure by asking to testify in Congress?
I don’t drink tea. But I ordered a case from twoifbytea dotcom...
What’s your point?
Birth control pills at Walmart sell for $9 a month - for three years of law school that’s $324.
After the three years of birth control pills are paid for - a law student is left with $2,676 to cover costs of condoms....
A box of LifeStyles Ultra Sensitive 40ct (40 count) Condoms at Walmart runs $11.46.
The $2,676 left AFTER buying birth control pills, she ( random law student) can buy 233 boxes of condoms (the 40 count boxes)
What did you call Rush again???
What have you ever done that is 1/millionth as effective as Rush in promoting conservatism?
What have you ever done that is 1/millionth as courageous as Rush in standing up to the pressures of the left and the liberal media matrix?
You should be ashamed of yourself.
We don’t need cowards like you sniping from the sidelines. If this is how you act in wartime, shooting your own and piling on like the left, no one wants you in their foxhole.
What I am ashamed of is all the idiot Freepers who, instead of rallying behind Rush, are piling on with the left.
Shame on all of you who are doing that. You are the real cowards, and we don’t need you in our foxhole.
“He is using today’s heightened attention to his show as an opportunity to expose the democrats’s sleazy, manipulative and mendacious tactics along with Fluke’s true agenda.
“
Rush is using the occasion of his “apology” to double down on his message, which is obvious to those (like you) who are paying attention.
He is using the occasion of heightened listenership to reiterate his points more strongly that ever.
Yet there are nitwit Freepers who are not smart enough to see this strategery and are castigating him mercilessly.
History is littered with fools who have doubted Rush’s instincts.
I’m too lazy to look it up: Does anyone know if Ms. Fluke acknowledged (minimally stated) promiscuous behavior? I thought I heard that she did.
It really doesn’t matter though does it? She chose to call up a nationally syndicated radio program. She chose to identify herself publicly. I’d say whatever harm done to her is entirely self inflicted.
Absolutely agree.
FTR, here's what Wikipedia has to say:
Slut or slattern is a term applied to an individual who is considered to have loose sexual morals or who is sexually promiscuous. The term is generally pejorative and often applied to women as an insult or offensive term of disparagement, meaning "dirty or slovenly." However some women have demonstrated saying they're proud of being "sluts", and have given it a positive connotation.I'd say slut fits.
ML/NJ
Yes, and I covered the fact that she was clearly lying/exaggerating about the cost of birth control pills. My point is that jumping from there to “a law student is left with $2,676 to cover costs of condoms,” and to conclude that Ms. Fluke is a slut because she was using 60 condoms a week is based on your own assumptions, not on her testimony. Again, she said nothing about her own sexual activities, or anyone else’s.
Honestly, I am disappointed. He’s operating from a position of weakness. Not confidence. He’s NOT WRONG. I don’t know why he’s doing this. He knows you don’t apologize to the left because they are never satisfied and it’s never enough and they just keep saying it’s not enough and use it as leverage to keep hammering on you. And you certainly don’t apologize to anyone, ever, when you are not wrong.
I reiterate. She is a slut. Slutfluke. A fluking slut. However you want to say it. Now the dictionary can put a modern face on the word ‘slut’.
Nope. She said not one word about her own sexual behavior, or anyone else's.
Very well said and I agree 1000 percent with you
He’s just wrong, he’s not what you said.
My point is that you are a troll
I do not disagree with the apology per se.....
but, Rush did not apologize until sponsors started cancelling their advertisement, therefore, he caved to the intimidation tactics used by the left to silence honest and bold criticism of those tactics.
Had the apology been that he should never have attacked her personally, then I could live with that. Had it come immediately, then I could live with that.
Right apology, wrong reasons.
My point is that you are a troll who needs to crawl back under the rock you crawled out from
