Video: 53 of Rush Limbaugh's most vile smears against law student Sandra Flukehttp://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/03/05/1071386/-Video-53-of-Rush-Limbaugh-s-most-vile-smears-against-law-student-Sandra-Fluke
Sick vile bastard! Ugh!
by JohnKWilson
While Rush Limbaugh has offered his fake apology to Sandra Fluke for calling her a slut and a whore, it's important to recall each of the 52 times last week when Rush insulted Fluke. So I've compiled a comprehensive list, each of them linked to Limbaugh's own transcript of what he said. Does one half-hearted apology make up for 52 smears?
<...>
Here are the 52 smears by Rush Limbaugh.
Feb. 29, 2012:
1) she's having so much sex she can't afford her own birth control pills
2) they're having so much sex they can't afford the birth control pills!
3) 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.
4) Sandra Fluke. So much sex going on, they can't afford birth control pills.
March 1, 2012:
5) You'd call 'em a slut, a prostitute
6) she's having so much sex
7) are having so much sex that theyre going broke
8) they want to have sex any time, as many times and as often as they want, with as many partners as they want
9) the sexual habits of female law students at Georgetown
10) are having so much sex that theyre going broke
11) having so much sex that it's hard to make ends meet
12) four out of every ten co-eds are having so much sex that it's hard to make ends meet
13) Now, what does that make her? She wants us to buy her sex.
14) to pay for these co-eds to have sex
15) she and her co-ed classmates are having sex nearly three times a day for three years straight, apparently these deadbeat boyfriends or random hookups that these babes are encountering here, having sex with nearly three times a day
16) Therefore we are paying her to have sex. Therefore we are paying her for having sex.
17) Have you ever heard of not having sex so often?
18) Ms. 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 for it. And I'll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch.
19) we want something in return, Ms. Fluke: And that would be the videos of all this sex posted online so we can see what we are getting for our money.
20) 'If we're paying for this, it makes these women sluts, prostitutes.' And what else could it be?
21) essentially says that she must be paid to have sex. What does that make her? It makes her a slut, right?
22) I'm having sex so damn much, I'm going broke.
23) She's having so much sex that she's going broke! There's no question about her virtue.
24) having so much sex she's going broke at Georgetown Law.
25) Here's a woman exercising no self-control. The fact that she wants to have repeated, never-ending, as often as she wants it sex -- given.
26) She's having so much sex it's amazing she can still walk, but she made it up there.
27) Maybe they're sex addicts.
28) to pay for her to have sex all the time.
29) she wants the rest of us to pay for her sex.
30) She wants all the sex that she wants all the time paid for by the rest of us.
31) Here this babe goes before Congress and wants thousands of dollars to pay for her sex.
32) a woman who is happily presenting herself as an immoral, baseless, no-purpose-to-her-life woman.
33) She wants all the sex in the world, whenever she wants it, all the time.
34) If this woman wants to have sex ten times a day for three years, fine and dandy.
35) to provide women from Georgetown Law unlimited, no-consequences sex.
36) so she can have unlimited, no-consequences sex.
37) You want to have all the sex you want all day long, no consequences, no responsibility for your behavior
38) The woman wants unlimited, no-responsibility, no-consequences sex, and she wants it with contraceptives paid for by us.
March 2, 2012:
39) "she's having so much sex, she can't afford her birth control pills anymore.
40) she's having so much sex, she can't pay for it -- and we should.
41) She's having so much sex, she can't afford it.
42) this, frankly hilarious claim that she's having so much sex (and her buddies with her) that she can't afford it.
43) And not one person says, 'Well, did you ever think about maybe backing off the amount of sex that you have?'
44) Does she have more boyfriends? Ha! They're lined up around the block.
45) "It was Sandra Fluke who said that she was having so much sex, she can't afford it.
46) By her own admission, in her own words, Sandra Fluke is having so much sex that she can't afford it.
47) they're having a lot of sex for which they need a lot of contraception.
48) Her sex life is active and she's having sex so frequently that she can't afford all the birth control pills that she needs.
49) who admits to having so much sex that she can't afford it anymore.
50) she's having so much sex, she can't pay for it.
51) As frequently as she has sex and to not be pregnant, she's obviously succeeding in contraception.
52) Ms. Fluke, asserts her right to free contraceptive, to handle her sex life -- and it's, by her own admission, quite active.
UPDATE: added thanks to your comments,
53) "Ms. Fluke, who bought your condoms in junior high? Who bought your condoms in the sixth grade, or your contraception?"

(14,337 posts)to have non-procreative sex, before and AFTER marriage. A monthly contraceptive script is a hell of a lot cheaper than my ruptured tubal pregancy, or even my breech birth where I had the entire hospital staff "consulting". Many years ago I DID process insurance claims. Contraception was NOTHING in comparison to pregnancy, labor and delivery, or covering the little rug rats.
Insurance companies are all about PROFITS. A BC pill is far more profitable to them than the 19 children of the Duggars.

(6,145 posts)Instead of apologizing to Fluke about his choice of words he should apologize for fabricating statements and lying about it over and over and over again.
You'd think his followers would get sick of being used and deceived.
there are multiple offensive statements repeated over and over. It's not just a single lie.
antigone382
(3,682 posts)The amount of sex you have has nothing to do with the amount of hormonal contraception you use, and I'm pretty sure Limbaugh isn't too stupid to know that.
Not that actual facts really matter to him.

Major Hogwash
(17,656 posts)Because it is proof that Rush meant to do Sandra Fluke harm, considerable harm.
Not only to her good name, her reputation, but also to her emotional and mental well-being.
Considering that she is so young, her entire career that lies ahead of her may be impacted by this 3-day slanderfest, which was broadcast nationally.
And unfortunately, also carried by Armed Forces Radio Network overseas to the men and women serving in the military today.
So, actually, Rush's slanderous remarks about Sandra Fluke were broadcast literally, around the world!!
Think about that the next time someone calls you a name on the street.
Or on a forum such as this one.
It doesn't even come close in proportion to the number of people that you were smeared in front of.
They could hold an event here in Boise and pack the Taco Bell Arena with an overflow crowd.
And then invite me to stand in the middle of the basketball floor there, only to announce over the public address system that "Major Hogwash, standing at center court, is a douchebag" . . and it would not even be close to the number of people who I had been smeared in front of compared to what was done this week to Sandra Fluke!!!!!

(20,584 posts)suggestion that he "didn't mean to."
"it sure negates his suggestion that he 'didn't mean to.'"
...an understatement. Blowhard Limbaugh launched into a vile three-day assault.
JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)I read her statement. She does not talk about her sex life.
Limbaugh can claim he was joking. I would like to see what a jury would decide.

(47,501 posts)He sounds like a pervert obsessed with other people's sex lives. The contraception debate just gives him an excuse to talk about sex.

(10,340 posts)They claim to be about "small government" except for where it's the most private and intimate.
PatSeg
(47,501 posts)I think they are sexually frustrated. People with a healthy sex life aren't concerned with other people's private lives.
Hugabear
(10,340 posts)Might not be entirely relevant to this topic, but I enjoy posting this any chance I get
PatSeg
(47,501 posts)That is the mindset I was referring to.
firehorse
(755 posts)It's like he's admitting that he's so pissed off that he actually has to pay for sex or that he's mad that college people don't have to pay for it or something. His fantasy is so warped and hateful, but it really says more about himself as a hateful letch than anything.

nolabear
(41,987 posts)The end effect is all too often to encourage his followers to take the next step into battery, sexual or otherwise. He doesn't have to say it; he just creates the atmosphere where women's worth is assaulted and their sexuality a possession of someone other than them.
If we love our daughters, mothers, sisters, selves, we cannot let this continue.
RevStPatrick
(2,208 posts)Thank you for putting this in context.
I don't listen to his show, so I had no idea that it wasn't just one insult.

No one in their right mind can defend this vile outburst.

cbdo2007
(9,213 posts)Those are direct attacks that she can prove false.
aint_no_life_nowhere
(21,925 posts)Not only did he spend three days launching attack after attack against Fluke. He attacked Danica Patrick for opposing him on the contraception issue, saying "what can you expect from women drivers?" And this came on the heels of days of misogynistic attacks against Michelle Obama regarding her weight, calling her the "First Linebacker". If there had not been a backlash against Limbaugh I would have been shocked.
