From Yahoo news 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. Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh thrust the derogatory word into the political arena in February when he called law student Sandra Fluke a "slut" for testifying before Congress in support of contraceptives. Following the national backlash over Limbaugh's name-calling, "Rock the Slut Vote" is now aiming to "diffuse" the offensive term, Emry said. Taking a vein from comedian Jeff Foxworthy and his "You might be a Redneck if " jokes, Emry's website gives visitors 22 reasons why "You might be a slut," including "if you've ever used contraception" or "if you're still downloading Dixie Chicks music" or "if you don't go to church." 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. "It's really about taking the power away from that word more than it is about Rush Limbaugh," she said. "He gave the word the notoriety but we are trying to take it back." Emry said the "Rush Limbaugh mess" coupled with the Susan G. Komen Foundation's decision to cut Planned Parenthood funding and recent efforts in state Legislatures to restrict access to abortions and contraceptives "compelled" her to create the site after 56 years on the political sidelines. "Originally my intention wasn't so much to try to have a platform as to be able to find a voice myself through the website," Emry said. "It was good for me personally because I felt so much outrage." But what began as way to vent her anger, has evolved into a voter registering, GOP "propaganda" refuting, women's rights information hub where, Emry says, she hopes voters will come to learn more about the "war on women" before they head to the ballot box in November. "It has evolved in the last few months from being my own personal avenue to let out a holler on what's happening to something that we hope will make a significant impact," she said. But while the rather shocking name may catch voters' eyes, Emry could have a hard time selling the message to prospective female voters. Only three in 10 women said they believe there is a "wide-scale effort to limit women's reproductive health choices and services," according to a Kaiser Health Tracking poll in May. And just 5 percent of female voters said the issue they want candidates to talk about most is women's health, compared to 60 percent who said the economy was most important. Selling merchandise, on the other hand, hasn't been as difficult. Her best-selling items are bumper stickers, T-shirts and totes that say "Rush Limbaugh thinks I'm a slut!" Emry said. Can they accomplish much on their backs and legs in the air?
The feminazis who participate in this were going to vote Obama, anyway. No big loss. Notice how they have no problem with Ed Schultz and Bill Maher using this term, though.
interesting that they call themselves "woman's rights activists, target Limbaugh for the use of the word when worse things were said by several liberals. Just how stupid do they think most women are?
I doubt it. The only ones buying into that narrative are the idiots who would have voted for Obama, anyway.
lol so they call themselves sluts???? this is just as dumb as blacks getting mad at white people using the N-word, yet blacks use it in casual conversation when refering to eachother. good lord can people be any more stupid?
These women are raising the issue which Rush and others ought sieze upon to educate the women who are part of the non-welfare, working, married mothers married to the father of their children. Though they have until now responded emotionally to criticism about the sexualores of women today and about the nerve of men to even discuss abortion or what a woman does ith her own body, they do love children, love America, and love the truth when it comes face to face with them. In his book, "Coming Apart," Charles Murray argues that: the white working class is no longer part of a virtuous silent majority. Instead, beginning in the early 1960s, it has become increasingly alienated from what Murray calls “the founding virtues” of civic life. “Our nation is coming apart at the seams,” Murray warns — “not ethnic seams, but the seams of class.” He refers to the social problems of that half of the country today that represents Single Mothers: Statistics on Fatherlessness CHILDREN NEED BOTH PARENTS It’s a Fact Here’s why: 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes. (Source: U.S. D.H.H.S., Bureau of the Census). 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes. 85% of all children that exhibit behavioral disorders come from fatherless homes. (Source: Center for Disease Control). 80% of rapist motivated by displaced anger come from fatherless homes. (Source: Criminal Justice and Behavior, Vol. 14, pp. 403-26). 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes. (Source: National Principals Assoc. Report on the State of High Schools). 85% of all youths sitting in prisons grew up in a fatherless home. (Source: Fulton County Georgia jail populations, Texas Dept. Of Corrections, 1992). These statistics translate to mean that children from fatherless homes are: 5 times more likely to commit suicide 32 times more likely to run away 20 times more likely to have behavioral disorders 14 times more likely to commit rape 9 times more likely to drop out of high school 20 times more likely to end up in prison Children from fatherless homes are*: Children from "fatherless families of single mother" homes are*: • 15.3 times more likely to have behavioral disorders • 4.6 times more likely to commit suicide • 6.6 times more likely to become teenaged mothers • 24.3 times more likely to run away • 15.3 times more likely to have behavioral disorders • 6.3 times more likely to be in a state-operated institutions • 10.8 times more likely to commit rape • 6.6 times more likely to drop out of school • 15.3 times more likely to end up in prison while a teenage • 73% of adolescent murderers come from mother only homes • 6.3 times more likely to be in state operated institutions Daughters who live in mother only homes are 92% more likely to divorce**
That is just what can save America, those other women. Rush, et al, need to raise up the consciousness of women in that class of society that still gets married before having babies, complete High School, attends church occassionly, works or is a housewife, separates her family and isolates them from the crime filled areas and communities, dislike that 50% of the moythers today are Single women raising kids abused by poverty, crime, lack of education, etc;
obviously they are embracing the EIB defintion of slut...which apparently is a woman who uses birth control telling about Rushs choice in wives...as hes had 4 but no kids....
drugs have been known to hurt a persons reproductive systems, so it wouldnt surprise me. hell, menthol cigs are capable of shutting down a mans baby batter maker lol.
Rush isn't into sluts. BUT>>>> Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2012/05/15/r...rs-on-facebook-in-under-a-week/#ixzz1wwHcxEOr America...what a country!
Yes. It could have been Lassie running on the Blue ticket, and I'd still vote Democrat. I would never vote for Sarah Palin (even as a VP). She'd start WWIII.
LOL.... a few wackos making a big noise. Funny stuff, thanks for posting it. Think they'll post the names and phone numbers of their members???
Sure it is. The GOP are full of fascist neo-cons who want to control your personal life and aid corporations in finding tax loopholes.
Now that's funny, given how Barack Obama extended the Bush tax cuts and just signed for $1 billion in welfare subsidies for corporate jet manufacturers. You should really be outraged at Barack Obama, not making endless excuses for him.
