Sandra Fluke: Americans “are fed up with the over-the-top crazy rhetoric”
Fluke: I refuse to engage in a playground mouth battle with the right
Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown Law student who has become a key symbol in the War on Women, said at the Take Back the American Dream conference in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday that she refuses to engage in a playground mouth battle with the right.
One of the things we have to grapple with in the womens movement and in the reproductive rights movement is that we feel very much under attack. We feel so much under attack that were taking a very reactionary approach, Fluke advised progressive activists. She noted that she could better connect with those she aimed to reach by staying focused. We have to start talking about the stories otherwise the other side will talk about them for us.
People in America are fed up with the over-the-top crazy rhetoric, Fluke said. Her approach is to stay on message, she said, and not engage in a playground mouth battle with the right.
