Opinions/Editorials Title: Have You No Shame, Rush? AS a woman who has been viciously slashed by Rush Limbaugh, I can tell you, it’s no fun. At first you think, if he objects to the substance of what you’re saying, why can’t he just object to the substance of what you’re saying? Why go after you in the most personal and humiliating way? Then, once you accept the fact that he has become the puppet master of the Republican Party by stirring bloodlust (earning enough to bribe Elton John to play at his fourth wedding), you still cringe at the thought that your mom might hear the ugly things he said. Now he’s brutalizing a poised, wholesome-looking 30-year-old Georgetown law student as a “slut,” “a prostitute” and “round-heeled” simply for testifying to lawmakers about wanting the school to amend its health insurance to cover contraception. Sandra Fluke “goes before a Congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex, what does that make her?” Limbaugh coarsely ranted. “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. What does that make us? We’re the pimps. The johns.” Isn’t this the last guy who should be pointing fingers and accusing others of taking pills for recreational purposes? He said insuring contraception would represent another “welfare entitlement,” which is wrong — tax dollars would not provide the benefit, employers and insurance companies would. And women would not be getting paid just “to have sex.” They’d be getting insurance coverage toward the roughly $1,000 annual expense of trying to avoid unwanted pregnancies and abortions, and to control other health conditions. This is something men and conservatives should want too, and not just because those outcomes actually do cost taxpayers money. Limbaugh leeringly suggested that were taxpayers to be stuck with the bill, Fluke and other “feminazis” should give them something back: sex videos. “We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch,” he said.

Now he’s brutalizing a poised, wholesome-looking 30-year-old Georgetown law student... who spends $3000.00 a year, or $250.00 per month, on contraception? LOL! Porn stars don't have that much sex, let alone 'wholesome' students.
#6. To: We The People (#4) who spends $3000.00 a year, or $250.00 per month, on contraception? You know I'm really surprised nobody has called "Bullschitt" on her for lying about how expensive birth control products are!!!! Most of them are actually very reasonable and anybody can afford them, even her..... All she had to do was give up 1 or 2 Starbucks coffees per week and she would have been all set for "Sunburned feet syndrome"!!!!

For one thing her statement involves the costs over a three year period, so you and Weeps just proved you either don't listen or you don't comprehend.
#17. To: mininggold (#7) For one thing her statement involves the costs over a three year period, so you and Weeps just proved you either don't listen or you don't comprehend. I don't give a shit how much it cost her. If the slut wants it she needs to buy it herself.
#19. To: A K A Stone (#17) MG: For one thing her statement involves the costs over a three year period, so you and Weeps just proved you either don't listen or you don't comprehend. In other words, the truth - what she actually said, doesn't matter to you.
#20. To: lucysmom (#19) In other words, the truth - what she actually said, doesn't matter to you. Why should someone else pay for her sex stuff? Why should the church have to fund her slut lifestyle? I like to watch movies. It is cheaper then birth control. Will the government pay my netflix bill. It's only 8 bucks a month?
#21. To: A K A Stone (#20) Why should someone else pay for her sex stuff? Why should medical plans pay for Viagra and not birth control?
#22. To: NewsJunky (#21) Why should medical plans pay for Viagra and not birth control? The first amendment says government keep your hands off the church. If some slut wants to buy the pill she should buy it. Not the church. What about that are you to stupid to understand?
#23. To: A K A Stone (#22) (Edited) If some slut wants to buy the pill she should buy it. Under the Obama's compromise the insurance company will have to pay for it not the church.
#24. To: NewsJunky (#23) Under the Obama's compromise the insurance company will have to pay for it not the church. And who pays the insurance company?
#27. To: We The People (#24) Everyone who purchases a plan from the Insurance company. What if an employee of a church decides to pay for an abortion using the salary provided by the church? What's the difference?
