'Sluts', Hypocrisy And The Leftist Agenda


What price silence? How does liberty wither and fade away? It seems we're about to find out.

In looking at the media frenzy over the story of Georgetown coed Sandra Fluke and conservative icon Rush Limbaugh, the Left's obscene agenda has never been clearer. And as you'll see, this is no accident.

The story began when Rep. Darrel Issa held a hearing over whether President Obama had the authority to violate the First Amendment and require Catholic institutions to pay for abortions, birth control, and other items forbidden by the Catholic Church, a clear violation in my view and that of many others of the First Amendment's free practice and establishment clauses.

During the hearings, the Democrats, seemingly out of left field wanted to bring in Georgetown third year student Sandra Fluke to testify before Issa's committee on contraceptives. Rep. Issa refused, correctly pointing out that this hearing was not about contraception but a constitutional issue, whereupon a number of the Democrats staged a noisy public walk out. It was amplified, repeated ad nauseum and heavily covered by their operatives in the media exactly the way the Democrats wanted it to be scripted - as a story about the Evil Republicans trying to outlaw birth control rather than about a president's arrogant bypassing of the Constitution .

To underline this, the Democrats put together an 'unofficial committee' and had Ms. Fluke testify as the sole witness, during which she went into what was well-scripted angst about the cost of contraception, how her friends were being denied, and why the taxpayers should be made to pay for it. Again, on cue, this was blown up into major headlines.

Ms. Fluke's testimony, if one could call it that, attracted a great deal of ridicule because the numbers she gave were so obviously inflated that her fellow Georgetown students would have had little time to do anything else but have sex if they were even remotely accurate.

For instance, she cited a 'survey' she claimed to have made showing that 40% of her fellow students "struggled financially" to meet a $1,000 per year cost for contraception, justifying a federal mandate to force insurance companies to provide coverage for contraceptives free of charge, and force religious institutions to buy that insurance.

The actual cost of contraception? Per the pharmacy clerk at the local DC area Target, the price of the generic versions of the standard birth control pills like Ortho Tri-Cyclen and Ortho-Cyclen go for $9 per month...without insurance.

That's where Rush Limbaugh got involved.

After deconstructing the actual facts, Limbaugh turned his sights on Sandra Fluke's basic premise:

“What does it say about the college coed 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. What does that make us? We’re the pimps.“The johns, that’s right. We would be the johns — no! We’re not the johns. Well — yeah, that’s right. Pimp’s not the right word.”


As inartful as his phrasing was, he was substantially correct in taking this to its point of logical absurdity. What this whining professional Leftist agitator - we'll examine that in a minute - wanted was for a Catholic university to violate its principles and its right to religious liberty so that other people can finance for her sex life. But in doing so, the normally astute commentator fell into a carefully laid trap, one arranged with the connivance of the White House that started when Democrat operative turned media shill George Stephanopoulos asked a seemingly out of the blue question a few weeks ago about Republicans banning contraception while he was supposedly moderating a GOP debate for ABC News .

The idea behind the trap's quite simple. Barack Hussein Obama can't run on his record, and the spotlight needs to be taken away from high gas prices, continued real unemployment and this president's incompetency and adherence to an agenda foreign to the majority of Americans. This made up 'war against woman and birth control' is what they decided on.

Sarah Fluke was definitely not chosen at random to be the spear point of this attack. The 30-year-old 'student' has a long time involvement with Leftist causes ( and the Democrat Party) who enrolled at Georgetown with the express purpose of agitating for the school to pay for students’ birth control and abortions. Nor is birth control all she believes you should pay for. She also wants you to cover the complete cost of sex change operations, which she labels 'gender re-assignment'.

Another piece of the puzzle was revealed when Rush Limbaugh made an on-the-air apology for his choice of words and for any distress he had caused Sandra Fluke...who in the interim, got a call of support from none other than Barack Obama, who brought his daughters into the mix:
“I thought about Malia and Sasha,” Obama said Tuesday at a news conference. “And one of the things I want them … to be able to do is speak their minds in a civil and thoughtful way, and I don’t want them attacked or called horrible names when they’re being good citizens.

"I wanted Sandra to know that her parents ought to be proud of her.”


When Sandra Fluke was interviewed on The View, she was asked about Limbaugh's apology by the resident harpies. She of course refused to accept it, telling a nation-wide audience to 'go to Media Matters, they have an excellent article on this.'

Now, why would Sandra Fluke refer people to an openly anti-Semitic, George Soros financed web site?

The rules of the dinosaur media are quite clear - a Leftist or a Democrat can say or do pretty much anything, but someone on the right of the spectrum is subject to what amounts to speech codes and thought crime penalties.

That's even more true these days than ever, because not only does this White House coordinate with its lackeys employed in media, not only does it have an enemies list - but it now has an entire organized media infrastructure which Media Matters is a part of, financed by Soros and other wealthy Leftists with the expressed goal of taking down and silencing 'dissidents' and thought criminals.

One useful tactic involves orchestrating Leftists to use social media and e-mail to firebomb advertisers. Media Matters and other affiliated groups used this tactic to get Lou Dobbs off the air at CNN, played a role in getting Glenn Beck off FOX and getting Pat Buchanan fired from MSNBC. Now, it's Rush Limbaugh's turn.

House Democrats have already raised over $1.1 million and reportedly collected 500,000 signatures on a petition targeted Limbaugh with a "war on women" campaign, while Senate Democrats have started an online petition calling for him to be thrown off the air and demanding that Republicans in Congress denounce him. Sandra Fluke is undoubtedly part of this network..which is exactly why she was chosen by Leftist Democrats to be their 'poster girl' for the campaign.

Meanwhile several major advertisers have pulled their ads from the show : Sleep Train, Pro Flowers, Sleep Number Beds, Carbonite, Quicken Loans, Citrix, and Legal Zoom.

There's a suspicious coordination seemingly at work here. For one thing, almost all of these companies are owned by people who contribute heavily to Democrats or Leftist Causes, like Carbonite's CEO David Friend whose parent company Orchid Partners contributes heavily to MoveOn.org, America Coming Together and Democracy for America, or Sleep Number's CEO Bill McLaughlin, another America Coming Together and Media Matters contributor.

There's even evidence that pressure is being brought on others not connected with Limbaugh's show to get in line with the 'demonize Rush ' policy by some of these same advertisers and the Soros machine. I've heard from at least one of my notorious Little Birdies that MSNBC, where some of these companies also advertise was involved in pushing them to jump ship from what was obviously a very productive advertising platform.

I'm not particularly worried about Rush Limbaugh surviving. His 23 million daily listeners are a force all their own, and he's going to continue to be a force to be reckoned with. But others without his clout are going to be victimized by this machine and taken down.

It's time to make a stand and show these corrupt jackals that there's a price tag for trying to hijack our liberty.

At the bottom of this essay, I'm going to provide you with the contact information for the seven advertisers who decided to cooperate in convicting Rush Limbaugh of a thought crime and work for the Soros and Obama agenda. I recommend you carpet bomb them with e-mails, faxes and calls telling them that now that their true colors are out in the open, you will no longer purchase their products and services. A simple search on the web reveals a number of other companies who do exactly what they do and will serve just as well. Put this information on your Facebook pages and tell your friends to do the same.Use Twitter. Make them hurt.

It's also time to send the Left and the Democrats a message that their kabuki outrage isn't fooling anyone. When Bill Maher, who referred to Governor Sarah Palin as a 'c**t' and never bothered to apologize for it gives a million dollars to Obama's PAC and that money is accepted cheerfully, it's time to get in this president and his supporters faces about why that's acceptable. Does President Obama want to send that kind of message to his daughters? Does he not think Sarah Palin deserves the same consideration as a 'good citizen'? Is he comfortable with Bill Maher being used as a high profile Democrat fundraiser? It appears that he is.

No comment, Mr. President?

Any one of the Democrats frothing at the mouth over Limbaugh's remarks ever say anything about Ed Schultz repeatedly referring to conservative Talk show host Laura Ingraham as a 'slut'? On the contrary, a number of them thought it was absolutely hilarious. Remember when 'comedian' Sarah Bernhard made calling for the gang rape of Sarah Palin a part of her routines?

In fact, there's a whole history of vile attacks on women by the unrepentant Left.

This is total war. Remember, we think they're wrong, but they hate us and think that any means fair or foul is justified.

It's time we started fighting back.

I have to tell you, that Rush quite frankly is a blowhard. He lost me years ago when he made fun of Michael J Fox's Parkinson's disease, becasue Michael showed up before congress without having taken his meds to control his tremors and seizures.
In fact his pompousness was never so evident as what he said about Sandra Fluke. We knwo what the real purpose of the hearing was. we knwo what the Obama administration's purpose is. We know what the MSM is. Why he played into their hands is beyond me except to assuage his own ego.

So now the entire message is lost and we are talking about stupid men-tricks instead of how Obama is subverting the Constitution once again.

Rush needs to keep his yap shut with the insults until after November and only talk about the real issues.

Thank heaven for Anne Romney and her speech last night.She put the issue right and reminded everyone that women's real issues happen to be jobs and the economy. Now its up to the republicans and conservative media to right the narrative and stop playing into the bullshit.

Hi IP,
I obviously disagree with you regarding Rush Limbaugh, but there's a bigger issue here.

This sort of coordinated attack masterminded out of the White House has to be stopped. You'll notice I mentioned Pat Buchanan, and you know I don't think much of him.

I heard Ann Romney speech. It was great. Unfortunately, it isn't going to be as well publicized as thi professional Left wing agitator Sandra Fluke.

Purim Sameach,
Rob
