Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – Assassins and Freepers and Sluts – Oh My! Edition
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.
