Sandra Fluke is the Georgetown law student who was supposed to testify at the contraception hearing a few weeks ago but was prevented from doing so. And John Cole is, apparently, psychic:
Me, yesterday, on the wingnut response to Sandra Fluke’s testimony:
C’mon, wingnuts, quit nancying around and just call them sluts.
Limbaugh, today:
LIMBAUGH: 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.
Excellent! I hope the wingnuts in the blogosphere follow his lead and start calling all women who use contraceptives sluts and hookers. This is going to be fucking awesome.
Fucking awesome, indeed.

fucking terrifying. jcole is on it.
My granddaughter just took her first steps today. She’s not quite 10 months old. She will walk out of the world the Limbaugh’s want to trap her in. I want to help – but that’s just me. She’ll get there anyway. History is on her side.
How long do the women in the Republican party let this stuff go? Are there no female, Republican singles who can stand up for their own contraceptive rights?
What the hell is wrong with Limbaugh? Nobody talks about his excursions to the Dominican Republic. Does insurance cover his needs for pills?
First of all, is it me, or does it seem as if Limbaugh has lost much of his power? I don’t see the GOP kowtowing to him as they have in the past.
Second of all, to an asshat like Limbaugh, slut means a woman who enjoys sex, embraces her sexuality wholeheartedly, and won’t have sex with him. A woman who is comfortable with her sexuality, no, one who revels in her sexuality for its own sake is a threat to him and his ilk.
Him and his brethren are dying out and losing their power, and it’s scaring the fuck out of them. It’s going to get worse before it gets better, yes, but he’s definitely on the wrong side of history.
I think that, to Limbaugh, “slut” means a woman, period. I would not like to speculate on what his wives go/have gone through, and I certainly don’t think it’s for nothing that all of his ex-wives are under a gag rule.
Actually, to people like Limbaugh, a slut is someone who advertises that she spends $1,000 per year on condoms or pills, and, supposing that her partners provide half the condoms, she is someone who is engaging in vaginal intercourse twenty times per week, every week. Not to mention any other sexual practices. And somehow she finds time to study for her law degree.
Maybe it’s not the prodigious sex, maybe it’s the advertising, and the demand for payment that make people use words like “slut.”
Please find better RWNJ talking points, jackhole. Yours have all been thoroughly debunked, and you sound like a total idiot.
Ms. Fluke was not talking about condoms, for crying out loud. She was talking about pills that her friend needed for medical, non-birth control reasons (not that there’s anything wrong with birth control).
Besides, the number of sexual acts a woman engages in does not increase the number of birth control pills she takes. Whether she’s doing it 20 times a day or not at all, it’s one pill a day. Again, it’s not like condoms or little blue helpers.
you are one stupid fucking troll.
RWNJ? sorry, unfamiliar acronym.
something to do with New Jersey?
anyway – that’s your whole argument?
arithmetic has been debunked?
but “jackhole” is a good word. better idea.
wouldn’t need contraceptive devices.
RWNJ = Right Wing Nut Job. Like you.
Seriously, condoms aren’t the only form of contraception. They’re also not the most reliable (under normal use, anyways). On top of that, they’re also not the most feasible.
Quite frankly, the Oxycontinfather’s argument does not matter because he’s completely misrepresented Ms. Fluke’s arguments to call her (and every other woman who has used birth control, which is about ALL of them) a whore, then make “huhhuh show me ur tits” joke.
Go jerk off somewhere else.
Sandra Fluke is a slut, and you all know it.
And by slut you mean she wouldn’t sleep with you to save her life and she won’t go make you a sandwich.
