I asked who, you provided my post as a direct answer to the who.

Yes, you are done

That referred to the taxpayer funding, which you walked back. But you knew that.

I never claimed you called Fluke a slut. I never claimed CU (Cu's post said she wasn't a slut) or Plane called Fluke a slut. But i have heard folks discuss Limbaugh's statements and attempt to defend them in other threads.

Taxpayers have been funding Birth Control since Nixon. What surprises me is the program hasn't been called racist.

THEN WHO THE HELL, IN YOUR WORDS, KEEPS CALLING HER A SLUT AND PUSHING DC FOR TAXPAYER FUNDED BC??   "The reason it is brought up is that i keep hearing that Ms. Fluke is a slut and that she wants taxpayers to pay for her Birth Control."

So did you miss Limbaugh's remarks?

Do I really need to go back and show you links to cartoons and photoshops in this forum.

So, this is all about Limbaugh??  That's where you "keep hearing it"?  Are you listening to some loop of his, because IIRC he said it once, and that's where the firestorm came from.  Every other reference of it is in how Limbaugh used it, be it defending or condeming him, that one time.

Commenting on them is one thing...using them as a term, in calling Miss Fluke it, is what was at issue.  PER YOUR WORDS...i keep hearing that Ms. Fluke is a slut and that she wants taxpayers to pay for her Birth Control.  You lost this semantic game, LONG ago Bt

And that statement is untrue how?

Has anyone called Ms. Fluke a slut?

Has anyone implied that tax dollars would be used to provide Ms. Fluke with contraceptives.

If the answer is yes, then my statement is true.

I never claimed that you called Ms. Fluke a slut, not sure why you think that is an issue.

But if you want to color coded word games have at it.

It's not untrue....it's distorted, since to date, the ONLY place its been used in the context you provided was by Limbaugh, vs this inferred "keep hearing it"

See above for improved clarity.  By all means provide some examples of others who intentionally were making that claim, vs your nuanced implication.  You were demanding I demonstrate actual verbage of you claiming I was calling Fluke a slut.  Best practice, what you preach

Because when asked who, you immediately responded NOT with "Mr Limbaugh", NOT with "well, various pundits have referenced the word's use", NOT with any clarity as to context of merely the word being referenced, NOT "well, you may have not used the word slut, but you appeared to lump tax dollars with Fluke.  My mistake if that wasn't your intention."

No, you immediately answered with a copy of my post.....and nothing else.  THAT's why you made a non-issue into an issue.  Couldn't simply have left it with "thank you for the clarification" after post#15.  You just had to keep digging with what I can only assume is what you thought I was nefariously trying to say, without actually saying it.  Unlike the power you apparently possess, I go on what people actually say

With such power comes great responsibility.  Best work on that

If the government forces you to buy something, the wrong term for this is tax?

Is this not the thread in which we are discussing Ms Fluke and her assertion that the cost of her contraception should be required of us all?

Considering her testimony, is this picture funny or unwarranted and cruel?

Quote from: BT on March 15, 2012, 10:07:08 PM


Strikes me as funny.
