Rush told the truth. Fluke is a slut and wants to be paid for it. End of story.

There is more to the story than you realize.

Using the word "slut" indicates a lack of tolerance for certain behavior, offending those that tolerate said behavior.

In essence, those lacking said tolerance is much like Islamists who would execute (stoning or head removal) an Islamic woman for driving a car.

In the Middle East, Americans are invited to Friday executions and given front row seats ... within range of the splattered blood.

So if I think a woman having 1000 sex partners each year is bad behavior, I’m the equivalent of someone who wants to kill female drivers?

Why are you a member of FreeRepublic? Do you believe in ANY moral restrictions?

Using the word doesn't indicate lack of tolerance for a certain behavior. Jailing or fining or beating or killing someone for that behavior indicates a lack of tolerance. Referring to them by that word and heaping moral opprobrium on them simply indicates a value judgment.

Not at all. If an individual is conducting themselves in the manner of a slut (female OR male), it isn't intolerant to call it what it is. It doesn't mean that one is intolerant UNLESS one crosses the legal line of attempting to force or otherwise coerce whoever the slut in question happens to be, into changing their behavior. Labeling a slut with the proper description is a First Amendment protected right for anyone wishing to exercise that right.

Not even close Vet. No one has advocated or even hinted that Ms. Fluke should be subjected to some sort of actual physical assault for her behavior, and that is because we are NOT Islamic, we do NOT round up those who live in some amoral fashion for whippings, beatings or death.

All the more reason to eradicate Islam from the face of the Earth. Let me summarize it this way:

I may not approve of a slut's mode of living, and I may even verbally label and condemn their behavior, but I will fight to the death for their right to live their lives as they choose. This comes under the category of "hate the sin but love the sinner", and I may fail at that sometimes, but I try to do better. I won't candy coat immoral or offensive behavior, and society shouldn't either.
