Sandra Fluke Responds To Rush Limbaugh Student Loans Attack

Sandra Fluke Rush Limbaugh

The war of words between Rush Limbaugh and Sandra Fluke continues.

Fluke responded to Limbaugh's latest attack during an appearance on MSNBC, telling Lawrence O'Donnell that the radio host has become "confused by his own propaganda." She was referring to remarks Limbaugh made Tuesday after she tweeted about interest rates on student loans.

"Sandra Fluke is just a poor, uh, isolated, alone little college student worried about her contraception at Georgetown," he said. "But now she's represented by the flacks in the White House—Hilary Rosen, Anita Dunn—and they're coordinating with Obama, scaring students about the interest rates on their student loans."

He also mocked the law student for "courageously and bravely fighting for contraception at Georgetown and wherever else it can be provided at no charge."

Limbaugh needs to get his facts straight, Fluke told O'Donnell.

"He's called me a college co-ed so many times, he doesn't know I'm a law school student," she said. "This policy is very important for college students, not graduate students. It's for students going into college who are getting new loans, not those of us who have them."

The first shiny clue that Rush didn't know his bum from his elbow about this issue regarding Sandra Fluke was when couldn't even be bothered to get her first name right. In his first attack, he called her "Susan."

Rush Limbaugh and people like him are afraid of intelligent minorities. They are afraid that they will lose their power. To keep them in place and to keep others from speaking out, gaining strength, and rising up, they pound people like Sandra Fluke down with intimidation in the form of name-calling, demeaning and degrading, twisting and spinning information, and creating and disseminating lies, an attempt to humiliate. Sandra Fluke is an intelligent, confident, and assertive woman, and I respect her for standing up to the spew of Rush Limbaugh.

Rush had to prove that black presidents aren't the only minorities that he hates.

Anyone who attacks others, does so from an insecure point of view. That sums up Rush.

Rush is a fluke parasite.

Limbaugh's a joke and I don't care about him. I do, however, care very much where I spend my money and will not financially support any business that advertises or in any way financially supports a man who spews forth his hatred of women, or as I like to refer to us: The Majority.

I don't usually wish bad things to happen to anybody ... but it's hard NOT to hope that his black heart explodes in that huge waste of space. Is that too harsh?

it's probably pretty black at this point from all the cholesterol and cigar smoke

Yes, it is and only exposes your vile hatred for anyone that disagrees with you. You are right at home of the HP, however.

Limbaugh's big mouth and big dummy brain power loses (again) to a young woman who is not going to be his little "Red" Ridinghood.

To Limbaugh's organic fertilizer; JUST SAY, NO; to buying into stinky stuff.

Sponsors should be held accountable for their reasons for continuing to money him, and/or his inaccurate vile.

Rush has been and is now irrelevant to civilized Americans. It is just becoming more obvious to everyone - including his sponsors!

I second this....

Agreed. This man is a grossly uneducated, opinionated and self important fool. His utterances are worthy of ridicule only...and nothing else.

Rush has almost single handedly elevated Sandra into national prominence. It's odd that Sandra is everything that Rush isn't.

You mean, smart, classy, respected, calm and rational? Yea, I agree.

Rush is way in over his head now. Time to put the shovel down. As a former boss used to say, "He's working without tools."

He's the one with the shovel, burying himself deeper and deeper in his own grave.

I'm not normally one to defend (or listen to) Rush but if one wants to have an informed opinion on this rather than dismissing it for the useless blather it really is, one might benefit from checking out what he ~actually~ said (in context).

You won't ever see his actually statements in context on hp. It doesn't fit into their agenda.
