Rush Limabaugh vs. Sandra Fluke

[Usui Takumi 1,562]

It's a damn entertainment/shock statement making a bigger point and he's actually right.

If the taxpayers are footing the bill so she can have sex the way she wants to, then she's earning money to have said sex, and is a prostitute!

If the taxpayers are pimps, but then paying for her sex........lol it makes no sense. How can the pimps be expected to make any money? Its a serious logic fail.

Its pretty clear he wanted to slander her and then tried to fit an analogy that simply doesn't work to it.

[Obama 2012 1,714]

So you are 'entertained' by this vile slander? Overbloated doesn't begin to describe it!

Her testimony was about a friend that was taking these medications for a specific medical problem, not for contraception. Though I would not feel any differently about Limbaugh's comments if the issue were only contraception.

And a point you and many others may have have missed along the way. Paying for contraceptives is much cheaper for the insurance company and the tax-payer than paying for costs associated with pregnancy and child-birth! The underlying controversy really is more about the catholic church attempting to use the power of government to force compliance with their moral code when they have been unable to get their own parishioners to toe the line otherwise.

Using the power of government?

I see, so Obamacare isn't using the power of government to purposefully destroy a private industry that has NOTHING to do with health care itself in the least?

We can go into this one much deeper if you like, but that can of worms is one I'd rather stay away from as it's been beaten half to death on these boards already.

The catholic church using the first amendment is fine and dandy, at least that's legit.

The girl probably is a ####### for all we know. Now she's asking for everyone to pay for her contraception! Yep, sounds like a ####### to me!

I don't give a damn how many people you sleep with, who you sleep with, etc... just don't expect me to pay for your ways to stop getting pregnant and don't expect me to pay for your stupid brat if you do get pregnant.

you do realize that her testimony was partisan politics as well, right?

I am glad you recognize this! I am most pleased to be associated by political affiliation with this articulate, dignified, and intelligent woman! I can think of no clearer contrast between progressive politics and the tea party than between this woman's statements and those of your Rush Limbaugh's!!!

The proper words to describe your position would be a violation of the TOS here. But I think your words speak for themselves!

I see, so you agree that she's a #######. A ####### for the DNC and gaining left-wing media popularity every day.

Glad to hear.

You seem to be becoming quite adept at RWNJ tea party style reasoning and discourse! Are we going to be seeing your name out there along with Palin, Angle, Limbaugh, Beck, etc?

I can't help but ask, what 'private industry' is being destroyed?

That is some of the most ridiculous reasoning ever presented.

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

By the same logic, military women who take contraception paid for through the taxpayer are "sluts" and "prostitutes"

This abuses the word 'logic'!!!

The health insurance industry....

Please try and keep up.

Women shouldn't be in the military. That's a completely different discussion however.

The health insurance industry SHOULD be destroyed but 'Obamacare' actually strengthens the industry through its use of private plans and subsidies! You are the one not keeping up!

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

Well they are in the military whether or not you think this is correct, including those serving as nurses and doctors who I assume should not serve either. I imagine, a nurse in war zone probably considers it prudent to not be pregnant while she serves so she takes birth control. What a #######!

The only thing Obamacare strengthens is Big Pharma's stranglehold on the American people.

Private insurance and the mandatory coverages, etc.. Hardly strengthens anything and doesn't do a damn thing in relation to actual care.

If her job requires her to not be pregnant, perhaps she should keep her legs closed or find another career.

I think that will be very effective for recruitment of the women who take care of the men who fight and die for their country.

Of course some of these same men will be married to military nurses and doctors - I'm sure they'll understand why they can't have sex with their wives any more.
