It’s not OK to call an activist who goes before Congress asking that the American people pay for her recreational sex a “slut”.
But it is OK to call Americans whose activism has absolutely nothing to do with sex, “tea-baggers”
I was just coming onto the thread to post something similar, but you already said it better than I could have.
It appears Rush’s intent was to point out that this “cause” is slutty-minded. And if the offended “lady” stopped to think a moment, Rush doesn’t necessarily claim to say anything about her own personal love life — but he is claiming to say a lot about the juggernaut that is nosing into the “personal love lives” of heretofore innocent Americans. There isn’t any need to normalize it even if it is distressingly common.
