Saturday’s Moonbat

Rush Limbaugh has drawn the ire of celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred, who sent a letter to the Palm Beach County state attorney requesting an investigation into whether the popular radio host should be prosecuted for calling a law student a “slut” and “prostitute” last week.

“Mr. Limbaugh targeted his attack on a young law student who was simply exercised her free speech and her right to testify before congress on a very important issue to millions of American women and he vilified her. He defamed her and engaged in unwarranted, tasteless and exceptionally damaging attacks on her,” Allred told POLITICO Friday afternoon. “He needs to face the consequences of his conduct in every way that is meaningful.”

So much for Free Speech. But wait, stop: Emulate Andrew [Breitbart] and don’t accept the meme: Sandra Fluke DID NOT actually testify before Congress. She didn’t even testify before a Congressional Committee. She met with Queen Nancy and a few other Democrats at an unofficial meeting about contraception and she was the ONLY witness. Do not accept the base lie that is the premise of this story, and torpedo the left with their own words. Here is the original story from CBS News, the more-than-just-leaning-left Dan Rather “fake but accurate” network:

House Democrats on Thursday sought to capitalize on the controversy surrounding the government’s role in providing contraception to women, holding a high-profile discussion on the matter and asking supporters for money as soon as the talk was over.

Led by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats held a pretend hearing while Congress is not in session to listen to the views of a third-year Georgetown Law student and activist ...
...
Specifically, she said contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 dollars ...

And she said contraception is not just used for birth control, but also for other health issues including the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome and even seizures.

No Republicans attended the mock hearing.

As we have all learned in the past few days, Fluke’s statement that contraception can cost $3000 a year is only true for the most extreme and highly rare type of birth control pills which are prescribed to primarily treat the maladies she stated. In terms of regular contraception for the use of not getting pregnant, the cost rarely exceeds $500 per year. And we all know that most non-religious colleges hand out free condoms like candy, and we’ve learned that there are at least 3 Planned Parenthood and other places that distribute free contraception all within a couple blocks of Georgetown University which Fluke, 31 not 23 as originally portrayed by the MSM, attends. But the point is that the liberal media itself at first reported the truth: Fluke is a known activist and the meeting was neither official nor fair and balanced. So right away lawyer Allred (what an appropriate name, huh?) is really spinning things here, as she tries to jump on the bandwagon as it leaves town.

In a letter dated March 8, Allred, writing on behalf of the Women’s Equal Rights Legal Defense and Education Fund, requested that Palm Beach County State Attorney Michael McAuliffe probe whether the conservative radio personality had violated Section 836.04 of the Florida Statutes by calling Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke the two derogatory words.

The statute stipulates that anyone who “speaks of and concerning any woman, married or unmarried, falsely and maliciously imputing to her a want of chastity” is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree.

Oh yeah baby, I’m sure Rush is quaking in his boots. You’re going to try and get him busted by a law that MIGHT result in him getting a $50 fine. WOW. [actually the maximum penalty of that statute is a year in jail and a $1000 fine] Although all Rush really needs to do is plead No Contest, and have his lawyers appeal that the law itself is sexually discriminatory and should be annulled. And he will win, guaranteed. The Blue Laws all went out the window at least 40 years ago. Every last one of them is unconstitutional, and I think that all but this one have already been thrown out. Allred is just shooting her mouth off trying to stir things up again; she knows she doesn’t stand a snowflake’s chance in Hell of winning this one.

This publicity hound has a serious problem with liberty. She constantly bellyaches about her client’s right to free speech while hypocritically seeking to stifle the same from her opponents. It would be amusing if it weren’t so nauseating.

Perhaps we can get the prosecutor to arrest and charge Allred under one of the “excessive noise” statutes.

Perhaps we can get the prosecutor to fine Allred a few tens of thousands for being a nuisance and a grandstander.

Limbaugh’s contentious remarks, made against Fluke for testifying on Capitol Hill about women’s access to contraception, resulted in widespread public outrage and dozens of advertisers pulling their commercials from his three-hour program.

But let’s get back to not accepting the meme. Note how misleading the above quote is. If I stand out on the sidewalk and orate my views, then I too am testifying on Capital Hill. Congress? Official committees? What are those??



Fight the bullshit. It’s time to promote an Army of Davids to an Army of Andrews. And for that, I’m already qualified!

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
