Rush Limbaugh: Sandra Fluke, Woman Denied Right To Speak At Contraception Hearing, A 'Slut'


The Huffington Post Jack Mirkinson First Posted: 02/29/2012 5:21 pm Updated: 02/29/2012 9:26 pm


Rush Limbaugh called the woman who was denied the right to speak at a controversial contraception hearing a "slut" on Wednesday.

Sandra Fluke, a student at Georgetown Law School, was supposed to be the Democratic witness at a Congressional hearing about the Obama administration's contraception policy. However, Darrell Issa, the committee chair at the hearing, prevented her from speaking, while only allowing a series of men to testify about the policy. Fluke eventually spoke to a Democratic hearing, and talked about the need for birth control for both reproductive and broader medical reasons. She mentioned in particular a friend of hers who needed contraception to prevent the growth of cysts.

To Limbaugh, though, Fluke was just promoting casual sex.

"Can you imagine if you were her parents how proud...you would be?" he said. "Your daughter ... testifies she's having so much sex she can't afford her own birth control pills and she wants President Obama to provide them, or the Pope."

He continued:

Quote :

"What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke [sic] who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex -- what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She's having so much sex she can't afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex."

Limbaugh then said, "ok, so she's not a slut. She's round-heeled." "Round-heeled" is an old-fashioned term for promiscuity.

Limbaugh's comments came on the same day that Fluke was mentioned during a debate in the Senate about the so-called "Blunt Amendment," which would override Obama's contraception rule. Sen. Barbara Boxer brought up Fluke's testimony, recounting what she would have said at the Congressional panel if she had been given the opportunity.

There should be consequences for this. He owes this woman an apology. He went beyond "freedom of speech" & into slander. One company has already pulled their ads.

I hope the fallout from this is huge. He's gone too far but it's not the first time so I doubt many advertisers will pull the plug.

To say that about this particular woman tells me he was just looking to be hurtful for someone with an opposite stance. Someone having a lot of sex not willing to protect themselves then have children they sometimes can't afford leaving the burden to fall on the state. So why he is picking on her at this level shows what an idiot he truly is.

One of the things Sandra Fluke wanted to speak about (but was not allowed at the official hearing where NO women were allowed to testify) was about a friend of hers who had a medical need for the pills to prevent the growth of cysts and who ended up having to have an ovary removed. But Rush picked on someone who isn't going to just slink away this time. Wish her the best of luck.

One of these days this guy will get what's coming to him.

He's a disgusting pig and should be fired.

He's entitled to his opinion.
I think he's a fat crab infested shit for brains looks (and smells) like a pile of pig shit ass hole pill popping douch bag whose father never introduced himself to his mother scum bag who loves to smell little boys underwear. But that's just my opinion.

He claims to only be an entertainer, but he is the voice of the republican party. He's certainly not very entertaining and he also seems to be a woman hater.

Honestly, why are people acting so surprised? That's Rush. There's a reason why he's been married like four times and has no children. He's fucked up.

Signed!

A Statement from Rush
March 03, 2012

For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week. In this instance, I chose the wrong words in my analogy of the situation. I did not mean a personal attack on Ms. Fluke.

I think it is absolutely absurd that during these very serious political times, we are discussing personal sexual recreational activities before members of Congress. I personally do not agree that American citizens should pay for these social activities. What happened to personal responsibility and accountability? Where do we draw the line? If this is accepted as the norm, what will follow? Will we be debating if taxpayers should pay for new sneakers for all students that are interested in running to keep fit?In my monologue, I posited that it is not our business whatsoever to know what is going on in anyone's bedroom nor do I think it is a topic that should reach a Presidential level.

My choice of words was not the best, and in the attempt to be humorous, I created a national stir. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Fluke for the insulting word choices.

Like I said somewhere else, the apology is fake but I love that he got bitchslapped so hard he was forced to do it, especially since he was so fond of bragging that he never apologizes. I hope more sponsors pull out & never return.

He's still a scum bag. And I'm sugar coating it.

That apology had to hurt.

Probably because it was hurting his wallet.
