2012 U.S. Presidential Election

Rush, I never said I liked the Huffington Post. I heard about this on the CBS Evening News.

We'll see if it blows over or not. But at least this woman attends a prestigious university, and when she graduates, she'll be able to claim that as one reason she has more credibility to her name than the man who called her a slut.

I never said you did, I am just saying there are some in the higher ups at AOL who may be doing this for political reasons.

We'll see if it blows over or not. But at least this woman attends a prestigious university, and when she graduates, she'll be able to claim that as one reason she has more credibility to her name than the man who called her a slut.

Except she deserves zero credibility as I already said. She is a feminist activist who decided to join the university to be a activist at the university, not for anything less. She even admitted that before she went to Georgetown she studied their insurance policy to see if contraception was a part of it. She is not some innocent college student in this, but seems more to be, and pardon the term, 'A attention whore'.

Roy, my brother went to Georgetown. Any attacks on the school or its alumni, my family considers very personal.

Even if it turns out that the Birthers are right and I turn against Obama, I'm going not going to take Rush's side here.

Edit: And Rush never says anything to get attention??

I have a cousin that went to Georgetown, but lets look at the facts of the situation.

She has served as the President of Law Students for Reproductive Justice, and the Vice President of the Women’s Legal Alliance. She attended which Cornell University awarded her a B. S. in Policy Analysis & Management, as well as Feminist, Gender, & Sexuality Studies in 2003.

She then spent the next six years working both in the private and public sector in a wide variety of causes in New York. She then turned around and went to Georgetown, but only after, and I quote from the Washington Post:

"Fluke came to Georgetown University interested in contraceptive coverage: She researched the Jesuit college’s health plans for students before enrolling, and found that birth control was not included. “I decided I was absolutely not willing to compromise the quality of my education in exchange for my health care,” says Fluke, who has spent the past three years lobbying the administration to change its policy on the issue. The issue got the university president’s office last spring, where Georgetown declined to change its policy.

Fluke says she would have used the hearing to talk about the students at Georgetown that don’t have birth control covered, and what that’s meant for them. “I wanted to be able to share their stories,” she says. “My testimony would have been about women who have been affected by their policy, who have medical needs and have suffered dire consequences.. . .The committee did not get to hear real stories I had to share, about actual women who have been dramatically affected by this policy.”"

So let me get this straight she graduates with a major focus in feminist studies, spends SIX years away from college. And then decides to go back to Georgetown BUT only after researching it's policy on contraception, and then spends the next THREE years working to get that policy changed. And you are willing to tell me she is just a innocent student that got swept up in this whole thing? Please.

Edit: And Rush never says anything to get attention??

Of course he does, but if we are going to shine a negative light on Rush, and even on people who play parts in political campaigns, like Joe the Plumber, then its time that we shine the light on Miss Fluke.

So maybe Ms. Fluke was indeed qualified to speak before Congress on the issue. She certainly wasn't a prostitute who wanted free contraception because she was having too much sex, as Rush claimed.

Was she qualified? She is a political activist, the Congressional testimony was looking for what amounted to a everyday student and how this policy would effect them, which is why she portrayed herself as in her lower 20s, not her early 30s, and why her testimony has holes large enough to drive a truck through such as contraception costing a college student over $1,000 dollars a year.

Let me put it this way, if a Congressman brought up a member of the NRA to act as testimony about how gun legislation would effect homeowners, and they did not disclose their relationship with the NRA. Would we consider that person to be qualified to speak about the everyday homeowner?
