'Sluts' Unite Against Republicans, Rush Limbaugh

Watch out Republicans, here come the sluts.

Women's rights activists are banding together to "Rock the Slut Vote" in an online effort to register women to vote and cast their ballots against Republicans in 2012.

"If the GOP thinks that throwing the word 'slut' at us at this point is going to silence women they have another thing coming," said Susan McMillan Emry, the site's founder.

(snip)
The site aims to "re-appropriate" the word "slut" so that Limbaugh and other Republicans cannot use it to "bully and silence women," Emry said.

Welcome to the club, ladies! Apparently very few women don't meet the entry requirements into the Slut Club.

Or, is this clown given special privileges?

What happened to the boycott by some of his sponsors?

We are just about owned by the Republicans now.
They control everything the majority wants to do.

A woman could wish to remain a virgin until marriage and still be placed on birth control pills for an unusually heavy period, for example.

take Rash seriously. There's no nice way to say Nazi, but sometimes the truth is blunt. And he's not just an entertainer. He's a bloated Nazi propagandist with an agenda to marginalize the least among us for the benefit of his wealthy backers. I guess that makes him a hate radio whore.

And the gals prolly still laugh at his little old tiny pee-pee. He hates women, because the only ones who will have anything to do with him are in it for his money.

Look what happens to top quality journalists and artists who question the national security state, let alone the Bush crime family and their various treasons. A few examples: Danny Casolaro, Gary Webb, Steve Kangas, Abbie Hoffman, Mark Lombardi...
