Has Rush Limbaugh Finally Gone Too Far in Slut-Shaming Sandra Fluke?

"So Miss Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here's the deal: If we are going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch."

Obviously, feminists, liberals and really anyone who has a modicum of respect of women—including President Obama, who called Fluke today to offer his support—was disgusted by this statement. As Krystal Ball writes in the Huffington Post, this is classic slut-shaming with the added bonus of creepy voyeurism. And considering that the content of Fluke’s actual testimony wasn’t about sex (though it would have been fine if it had been), Limbaugh’s lurid, peeping-tom reaction is all the weirder. In this case, I think we see another example of Amanda’s observation (made earlier this week) that the contraception debate is really bringing out conservatism’s “prurient prude” double-standard.

BTW, Flukes testimony - which was denied at the original hearing by Republican Committee Chair Darryl Issa (when all they had was male church figures testifying about women's health and contraceptive needs), and was spoken to the Dems in a different hearing later: was about what happened to a fellow student, who could not afford birth control to treat her ovarian cysts, thus eventually lost that ovary, forever decreasing by half her chances of starting a family.

Yeah, Rush - that makes Fluke a "slut". You misogynistic idiot fat drug addict.

Rush Limbaugh’s Maid to get Raise...

romney will look dead another six or seven times before november. he'll keep drifting back because the country fundamentally doesn't want change and the administration's core economic policies (health care, stimulus) remain unpopular. growth will be slow and you'll have $5 gas in november.

but it's hard not to enjoy how far off message the republicans keep getting themselves.

contraception? seriously?

it's like a bad lieutenant governor race. the professionals have to be pissing themselves watching this.

god bless rush limbaugh and rick santorum.

Let's hope what i read in terms of a prediction will be true. I read that prices with peak at around $4.25 in late spring, before drifting back down to around $3 a gallon in the 2nd half of the year. The price has been trending upward for a decade due to demand from China and other places in the world. It crashed when the economy did right around the same time Obama took office, and this recent spike is just the resumption of that upward trend. Hope they do level off again.

So, Rush has been married 4 times, has no kids, and doesn't seem to understand how prescription contraception works. And his preferred vacation place is the Dominican Republic.

Even if Ms. Fluke and other women posted videos, does it seem like he'd actually be interested in watching them?
