‘Sluts’ Unite Against Republicans, Rush Limbaugh

‘Sluts’ Unite Against Republicans, Rush Limbaugh

Watch out Republicans, here come the sluts.

Women’s rights activists are banding together to “Rock the Slut Vote” in an online effort to register women to vote and cast their ballots against Republicans in 2012.

“If the GOP thinks that throwing the word ‘slut’ at us at this point is going to silence women they have another thing coming,” said Susan McMillan Emry, the site’s founder.

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh thrust the derogatory word into the political arena in February when he called law student Sandra Fluke a “slut” for testifying before Congress in support of contraceptives.

Following the national backlash over Limbaugh’s name-calling, “Rock the Slut Vote” is now aiming to “diffuse” the offensive term, Emry said.

Taking a vein from comedian Jeff Foxworthy and his “You might be a Redneck if…” jokes, Emry’s website gives visitors 22 reasons why “You might be a slut,” including “if you’ve ever used contraception” or “if you’re still downloading Dixie Chicks music” or “if you don’t go to church.”

The site aims to “re-appropriate” the word “slut” so that Limbaugh and other Republicans cannot use it to “bully and silence women,” Emry said.

“It’s really about taking the power away from that word more than it is about Rush Limbaugh,” she said. “He gave the word the notoriety but we are trying to take it back.”

Emry said the “Rush Limbaugh mess” coupled with the Susan G. Komen Foundation’s decision to cut Planned Parenthood funding and recent efforts in state Legislatures to restrict access to abortions and contraceptives “compelled” her to create the site after 56 years on the political sidelines.

Canada recently had its second annual “Slut Walk” in Toronto. Not quite sure what it’s about - they were a weird bunch, no doubt. All I remember is them saying something about “sexual empowerment”....whatever that is.

She did not "testify before Congress".

so this should be 'Marxist Sluts Unite'.

only Marxist sluts, like 'stanky Fluke', requires the federal gummint to pay for her birth control.

LOL, so a statement Limbaugh made months ago and has since put to bed by apologizing for it twice is now the rallying cry for this group to take on the entire GOP. LOL!!!

BTW, in case anyone is interested, Ms. McMillan-Emery is apparently the CFO for McMillan Study Guides, whose bread and butter seems to be training materials to help Air Force NCO’s prepare for their various exams and something called a CDC (not sure what that is).

No, unfortunately they are not smart enough to ever realize that fact... at least most of them are not.

So now I have to say “s-word” when it doesn’t change the meaning?

Sluts whose underage daughters are following in mommy’s footsteps are already known as “jail bait” and that seems to be appropriate enough.

Apparently, we’re to treat them all like children.

But if you’re a male seeking out these age-of-consent sluts, you’re still a “predator”.

Why IS that?
