Did someone just say, "schoolgirl"?

A 30-year-old third-year law student?

If you don't understand the difference between taking shots at people who have made a business out of being public figures, and viciously attacking a schoolgirl, then you're a hell of a lot stupider than I thought.
What a load.

This lady is a 30 year old student/political activist. If she was a 60 year old student would you still call her a "schoolgirl"? She, being a "womens activist" put herself in the public eye and is apparently trying to get attention. (unlike the medias attempte distruction of "Joe the Plumbers" credibility)

Also someone who apparently know what she was getting.
in the beginning she was described as a Georgetown law student. It was then revealed that prior to attending Georgetown she was an active women’s right advocate. In one of her first interviews she is quoted as talking about how she reviewed Georgetown’s insurance policy prior to committing to attend, and seeing that it didn’t cover contraceptive services, she decided to attend with the express purpose of battling this policy. During this time, she was described as a 23-year-old coed. Magically, at the same time Congress is debating the forced coverage of contraception, she appears and is even brought to Capitol Hill to testify. This morning, in an interview with Matt Lauer on the Today show, it was revealed that she is 30 years old, NOT the 23 that had been reported all along


“I decided I was absolutely not willing to compromise the quality of my education in exchange for my health care,” says Fluke, who has spent the past three years lobbying the administration to change its policy on the issue. She’s a former president of the university’s chapter of Law Students for Reproductive Justice, and is an organizer with Catholic Students for Women’s Health
The medias playing you guys like a cheap fiddle. Not suprised.

Which is saying a lot.

Yeah, that tends to happen when dealing with complete imbeciles such as yourself.

She led a student group. Wow. That's supposed to put her on par with Sarah Palin as a target for political commentary. Again, wow.

She sure as hell whored herself for money in every way she could think of, though.

Keep em coming, Lib, let everyone see the true face of the Republican Party.

That still doesn't mean that Bill Maher isn't a comedian.

It's like you think SNL is a news show because they have the Weekend Update skit that covers the news.

Mr. Limbaugh pretends to be a serious talk show host. Mr. Maher doesn't even try.

The only person practicing a double standard here is you.

So congrats on living up to your stereotype.

You've obviously listened to neither.

They are much more similar than you think, you're just too stupid to get Rush's humor.

We'll see who has the last laugh. This just brings him even more listeners.

Oooh, "tradtional values", is that supposed to impress/scare me?

You have no values except what's in your wallet, as you've demonstrated time and time again.

Ah, yes, the traditional values of hating your fellow human beings because they don't adhere to your obsolete world view.

And you add nothing of value to this discussion. Try again with a real argument.

Mr. Limbaugh was not attempting any sort of "humor" when he called this woman a slut. It was pure hatred and vileness, if you think it's funny, you should probably seek immediate psychiatric help.

...

Liberals believe the purpose of education is to provide the tools for an individual to be able to understand and choose values which are authentically theirs. They believe autonomy and the rights of the individual are important. Conservatives, "traditionalists", believe that education exists to indoctrinate people with the values of their masters and suppress the ability to reason individually. They believe conformity to the herd and hating all the same things is important.

Rush teaches the latter by using fear and hatred.

A "Community Activist." No wonder Barry sprung to her defense.

Lib, there's no denying that Rush went overboard. She is a private citizen, not a politician (yet).

But make no mistake, he truly regrets his comments. Not because they were slanderous or inappropriate, but because they played into the phony Liberal narrative that Repubicans are conducting a campaign against women. Lost in all the bullshit here is the fact that NOBODY is trying to take anything away from women here. What is being debated is going back to the horrible, prehistoric times of about 2 months ago, when the O'Bama Administration was keeping its "promise" to continue the longstanding policy of allowing "conscience" exceptions to such policies.

BARRY IS THE BADGUY HERE! HE is the one who started this ruckus, by going back on a longstanding Federal policy and a commitment that he personally made to many Church bodies.

The funny part is that Libs simply don't get why this can't hurt Rush. HE IS NOT A POLITICIAN! He is an entertainer. There are about a hundred fifty million people who listen to radio at some time during the middle of the day, and Rush only has to appeal to a small percentage of them to make him valuable to advertisers. MORE PEOPLE ARE LISTENING TO HIM NOW THAN THERE WERE A WEEK AGO. Do you really think someone with fifteen million listeners is going to have a difficult time attracting sponsors?

Idiots.

Ask the 30 or so sponsors that have pulled out whether his audience was enough to keep their business.

His audience doesn't mean jackshit if they are afraid that associating themselves with him will be toxic to their customer base.

Proof please. Show me where I've done this.

I value individualism freedom and liberty.


Ah, yes, the traditional values of hating your fellow human beings because they don't adhere to your obsolete world view.
And obviously from this statement you hate anyone who has traditional values and doesn't conform to your self defined world view.

I on the otherhand don't just toss aside centuries of societal learning evolution.
Mr. Limbaugh was not attempting any sort of "humor" when he called this woman a slut. It was pure hatred and vileness, if you think it's funny, you should probably seek immediate psychiatric help.
Rush did exactly what he does everyday, illustrate obsurdity by being obsurd. Sure in this case he went too far, I agree. I'm just calling you guys on your hypocrisy.

God how could someones own viewpoint be so exactly backwards.

Conservative = individualist

Liberal/leftest/stateist = collectivist

Ask the 30 or so sponsors that have pulled out whether his audience was enough to keep their business.
Like I said, we'll see who get's the last laugh.

Rush just annnounced 3 new sponsors starting in the next two weeks. He's always had more advertisers than airtime, with a waiting list.

I find it interesting that right wingers feel such a need to discredit this woman in order to protect one of their own that they would go to the time and trouble to create stuff like this.

She is the student and you guys are the ones that are acting all high school.
