Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsThe article on Daily Kos yesterday about the 16 year old is linked by the Obama Campaign
I've spent the past 2 days trying to convince my 16 yo she is not a slutI don't have a link to where the campaign connected to it - it may be on FaceBook or Twitter - my husband is on one or the other of those (I'm not) and got a message tonight from the Obama campaign with a link to this article and came downstairs absolutely livid about what has happened to this child.
My husband's take on it, "Any man with a wife or daughter who heard Limbaugh make those comments and not get upset deserves to have his head cut off."
This is my sweet, mild mannered husband who normally has to calm me down when I get worked up about things. We were both young adults when Roe v Wade was decided. Before I met him, he helped two friends get abortions . They weren't his girlfriends, just friends who needed help. He's helped friends buy birth control, given lots of good advice to a lot of our young women friends, helped a lot of friends and acquaintances out of abusive relationships.
He's more of a Women's Libber than I am. And he's almost never violent in speech and never violent in action.
But he is PISSED at Rush Limbaugh. Not just for what Rush has said about Sandra Fluke or what he's said about every woman in this country that uses hormones for whatever reason.
My husband is pissed that a gentle 16 year old girl is being harassed because of the hate Rush Limbaugh has injected into this country.

But only if it can be done without taxpayer funds, of course.

If I had a choice between a million dollars and kicking Rush in the ****bleep**** guess which I would choose.

I will even contribute the bands and banding pliers, they take a while to fall off and I am sure it is not painless...
