"Slutgate" - the compilation thread
March 5, 2012 | Lancey Howard

Posted on 03/05/2012 6:12:21 PM PST by Lancey Howard

This thread is for keeping track of every new breaking story and betrayal in the ongoing "slutgate" scandal.

The scandal revoles around Rush Limbaugh showing his age by calling the 30-year-old Democrat political activist and erstwhile Georgetown student Sandra Fluke a "slut" just because she tesified before Congress that she wants other people to pay for the $3,000 per year in contraception that she needs in order to stay worry-free as she hops from bed to bed, from one sexcapade to the next.

There have been so many new stories of Democrat slime and Republican betrayal breaking every hour that I thought a single compliation thread might be a good idea. We'll see if other freepers agree.

By the way (personal commentary now) I do believe that Rush did nothing more than show his age last week when he referred to Fluke as a slut. I am almost as old as Rush, and I can assure any youngsters out there in freeperland that back in the day, say 30 - 40 years ago, women like Sandra Fluke were "sluts". Not so in 2012. Nowadays she's apparently just a normal, sexually active girl.

Congratulations, Democrats.

Fluke also said that can cost a student ALL that they would make all summer.

What Fluke said was "[f]or a lot of student who . . . are on public interest scholarships, that’s practically an entire summer’s salary."

So she was limiting the $1,000/month to the students who were on public interest scholarships, and it was 'practically' as much as they made.

Most of those private interest scholarships were leftist, during my day, although there were a very, very small number of public interest scholarships that were conservative or apolitical.

Dude, you're persisting in the $1000/month error?

I may be mistaken, but I was thought that I saw a link to a video of her testimony. If someone knows of one then that would be invaluable to prove what she actually said.

Netizen posted a transcript of Fluke's testimony:

And here's a transcript of her testimony, with conservative commentary. You can still read exactly what she said:

Well put.

And you reminded me that “pimp” used to be a pejorative in popular culture.

Her rant was made to look that way, and the event was organized by Pelosi.
Close enough.
