Liberal Logic

SJF_Penguin2 And Bill Maher has said even worse about Palin. Those who criticized Rush Limbaugh during the Sandra Fluke "controversy" probably never listened to more than five minutes of his show in their lives. In context, his remarks made complete sense, and I was sad when he felt the need to apologize.

bri-marie ... Most liberals don't think Palin is a slut. The only person I have ever heard use the words "slut" and "Sarah Palin" in the same sentence was Letterman. One person is hardly representative of an entire group of people. Furthermore, the liberals are not even close to the only ones calling names.

misanthrope86 Who thinks Palin is a slut? I think she's a bigoted idiot, but I don't know or care what she does with her vagina. That women wasn't arguing that at all. She was arguing that women's rights to health are being attacked. Men have free and easy access to erection medication, yet women don't have free and easy access to birth control. It says a lot about the social system that it cares more about the quality of a middle-aged man's erection than the general health of women of all ages. So if the criticism of liberal logic is that it cares about people's rights, then I think liberal logic is pretty awesome.

Cinders "Slut" is a sexist term, that generally has nothing to do with a woman's promiscuity. If anyone calls any woman a slut - be she conservative or liberal or neither or both - I find it as offensive as using a racial slur. I have never heard a liberal call Palin a slut, though. As for the "having sex so often she goes broke buying birth control," this argument is one Limbaugh made as if one pops a BCP every time one wants to have sex. That's not how BCP works. You take it every frickin day, no matter how often you have sex. I was abstinent for years, and yet on birth control (which, again, you take EVERY DAY regardless of sexual activity) which I use to treat a frickin medical condition, so don't talk about things if you know nothing about them.
