This week many were outraged by the unfair, mean-spirited attacks by Rush Limbaugh on law student Sandra Fluke, whose testimony Darrell Issa refused to hear among his committee of men regarding the importance of women’s access to insurance coverage for contraceptives. Limbaugh’s tirades and inappropriate characterization of Ms. Fluke’s testimony made clear the fact that he had not bothered to listen to the story she had to tell. It was also obvious that Mr. Limbaugh has no idea how contraceptives work or what purposes beyond contraception “the pill” serves. Here is Sandra Fluke on The Ed Show telling her story.

Many thanks to MSNBC and The Ed Show for addressing this in prime time and for employing strong, fearless women leaders to comment. The misogyny and sexism that we saw and heard against Hillary Clinton and other female candidates for public office continues in the MSM. While The Ed Show was in progress, Bill O’Reilly came out in support of Limbaugh and his statements. Krystal Ball and Karen Finney stood firm and did a tremendous job Friday night. As far as I am concerned, they knocked it out of the park! Thank you Ed, Karen and Krystal!
