Well, gentle people – I had planned to beg off this week and take a break, as long as there were no Breaking News developments in Freeperville.
Am I stupid, or what?
Let’s jump right in.
Before we get to the paramoid ravings of Freeperdom about gangs of Obama hit squads roaming the coutryside to shoot frozen virus darts into fringe right-wing commentators, we need to address something else first – misogyny.
Right-wing nutworld has always been a stronghold of misogyny, and I wasn’t particularly surprised when a right-wing nutjob(whose previous claim to fame was getting caught with non-prescribed Viagra on his way back from the Dominican republic) got all “sluts-R-us” on an uppity female who dared to speak up for contraception as a part of healthcare. Didn’t surprise me a bit.
This, however, did :
Obama phones woman called ‘slut’ by Limbaugh
Politico ^ | 3/2/12 | JENNIFER EPSTEINPosted on Friday, March 02, 2012 1:39:13 PM byColdOne
The young woman who was called a “slut” by Rush Limbaugh got a call Friday from President Obama who voiced support for her pro-birth control advocacy.
“He encouraged me and supported me and thanked me for speaking out about the concerns of American women,” Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke said on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports.” She got the call from Obama while in a green room waiting to appear on the show.
“What was really personal for me was that he said to tell my parents that they should be proud and that meant a lot because Rush Limbaugh questioned whether or not my family would be proud of me,” Fluke said. “So I just appreciated that very much.”
Soon after she appeared on TV, Fluke also thanked Obama on her Twitter account. “Thank you @BARACKOBAMA for your call and words of support. It means so much to me and millions of women! #WeWillNotBeSilenced,” she wrote.
To: ColdOneIf she’s still having issues getting contraception, she should try oral sex. It’s proven to make teeth whiter.

Fantastic post, Tommy — hard to believe all this stuff happened in one week… 🙂
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your weekly trudge through the festering swamp of the right-wing “mind”. Your illumination of their incoherent ravings as they flail absurdly in the mire that is their community brings a little bitter joy to my political landscape. I don’t know how you steel yourself for these journeys or how you rid your self of the extreme stupid you must endure, but I suspect alcohol is involved.
Thanks
It’s amazing how they can turn on a dime and denounce the same person they were extolling 10 minutes before.
It never occurs to FReepers that if someone they respect (Limbaugh) disagrees with them, maybe the FReepers are wrong.
Never enters their minds.
It’s the way I start my week. Thanks again, Tommy.
Oh. My. God.
This…internet locale, is like seeing the crash of three 757s at 1000 feet while flaming debris falls on a preschool and commercial hog farm.
Just. can’t. look. away.
This may be your best work ever, you socialist/marxist/communist/fascist/revolutionary/islamic sympathizer PLANT.
So, let me see if I got this straight. Rush killed Andrew B with a poison popsicle from his super secret soviet mole assassin kit?
Thanks TommyT! Wow and that was just one week of Freep!
They really want to get their war on with us though, don’t they? They’ll be worse when Obama wins re-election.
Thanks again, TT. I have been meaning to go through the FR birther threads since Sheriff Joe made his statement last week. From what I can tell, most of the reasonable anti-birthers (there was a former JAG lawyer and a another lawyer from Ohio) have been banned. They made the FR mortal sin of citing facts and legal precedent.
I am waiting for the eventual nomination of Mittens, just to see the immovable object (will not vote Romney) meets the irresistible force (hatred of Obama). My guess is that JimRob will just leverage the chaos for more donations.
Tommy–
I missed a turn and went down a different set of tunnels from the ones you took. Nonetheless, same result. Reviewing your log…
Maybe Savage’s underly active brain slipped out of gear.
A heart attack?
No, that would be a stroke.
Meaning that the heart stops? I see.
Now there’s a radical leftist idea: protecting womens’ right to do what they want with their own crotches. The mind boggles.
Please don’t stick a fork in him [Rush Limbaugh]. Tommy just finished replacing the filters.
