‘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.

I believe the whole thing behind that "movement" is that women should be able to dress however they want without having to worry about being assaulted. It started after a Police Official made a comment that women should consider how they dress in an effort to avoid rape.
Simply put, this is a democratic party operation. If it wasn't, they'd also go after famous misogynists like Bill Clinton, John Edwards, Jesse Jackson, etc, etc, that happen to be in ANY political party.
Note the almost gleeful way ABC News promotes the anti-Republican angle. Shades of George Steponallofus doing his master's bidding, as always.
What a bunch of idiotic drivel.
I can only imagine the type of “MS.” attendees..
Stupid is as stupid does.
And analysis of her statements to that throng of agenda-driven harpies, shows that for Fluke to spend as much on contraceptives as she claims, she would most surely be worthy of being called a slut.
And after her appearance before the Dem- bulbettes, she and her boyfriend went on a lavish vacation to Hawaii.
Gee, you’d think these women didn’t realize a “slut” is a women who Is about half as promiscuous as the average homo.
Belonging to this group will be a real resume enhancer! ;-)
Wow. Sluts for free birth control. Who would have thought they would ever see such a movement in this country. The demands others make on the productive truly border on the bazaar.
These slut demonstrations are nothing but an excuse for these women to dress up like whores on another day besides Halloween.
Interesting!
No mention of Ed Schultz and use of slut in regards to Laura Ingraham. How forgetful of them.

Actually they aren’t sluts to me, the word “Skanks” apply best here.
and he did not “call her a slut” for testifying. He “called her a slut” for spending $3000 a year on contraception.
