Why do you lie about Sandra Fluke?
She never said what you started your piece with. Her testimony was about medically necessary use of "contraceptives". Rush only apologized for using 2 words. You start with lies how can anything that follows be considered truthful?
Shameful "reporting".
By James Fulford writes: Since the reader didn’t specify what we “lied” about, I’ll quote myself:
“When Democratic activist Sandra Fluke testified that she wanted Georgetown, a Catholic University, to be compelled by federal law to pay her three thousand dollars for contraceptives — she meant the Pill, which means she’s asking her university to pay for her to able to have unprotected sex — Limbaugh called her a ‘slut.’”
Here’s what Fluke said:
“Without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school. For a lot of students who, like me, are on public interest scholarships, that’s practically an entire summer’s salary. Forty percent of female students at Georgetown Law report struggling financially as a result of this policy.” [Quoted in Sandra Fluke’s Amazing Testimony, By Ira Stoll, WSJ, March 9, 2012]
