Love it. Sandra Fluke has so succeeded in getting under the skin of Limbaugh and his FReeper


cadres that they can't let go. As a result they are revealing the profound hatred of women on the part of the Bagger wing of the GOP. Something the country club Repugs have managed to hide until now.

The result in my opinion is that this election will see the Repugs losing the women's vote for an entire generation. Really they have lost their minds. Freepers actually think the following cartoon is funny.

And the Freeper response. They LOVE IT !!

Like "I'm with Fluke"
or
"Limbaugh loses to a Fluke"
or
"Women take down Limbaugh with a Fluke"

They're so obsessed with their premiums going to pay for some woman's birth control pills (you'd almost think the poor squealing darlings were being forced to take the pills themselves), yet they seem perfectly fine with premiums going to pay for prostate exams and boner-in-a-bottle pills.

Women in charge of their own health care, including birth control, lead healthier lives and require less health care over the course of their lifetimes. Costs will actually go down when this measure takes full effect. If premiums don't follow, the fault lies with the insurance companies, not with women taking the pill.

5. And the bonus point; the epithet Fuck Off has been replaced by Fluke Off in Freeperville.

The hilarity never stops.

No self respecting woman will vote for the Repugs after this. Except for the Mrs Santorum, Gingrich and Romney.

that's treasonous! Corporations are people too! *sarcasm*

The worst part is that the average freepers have been laid off from the very corporations they're protecting. I have no idea why they keep buying into such nonsense.

false stories and then load them with key words that are crosslinked with similar stories on other right wing sites so that their lies move to the top of Google's search results. They're spamming Google so that their world view is that one everyone sees.

That's why you see so many duplicate posts on FR. It's not carelessness or inattention. It's a deliberate strategy.

Everyone's insurance payments would go up to cover the new mandate for birth control. Of course the obvious problems are...

1. Most already do cover it.

2. The amount it is raised is the equivalent of spitting into the ocean to raise the sea levels

3. They say "tax dollars" because the meme is all about taxes and big gubment...taxes dont pay for health insurance.

Maybe their brains really are wired incorrectly. It's the worst caricature I've ever seen.

She's smart, educated, well spoken, good looking and in charge of herself.

She's their nightmare. Of course they have to make up middle school insults about her. That's all they've got.
