re: #34 ProGunLiberal

I’m slightly curious why it was this one incident that is bringing him down.

The best I got is that he attacked a specific person, which makes his attacks less abstract, combined with his insinuation about those women in the nation who are taking Birth Control. That meant many people could see themselves or their loved ones in Fluke. And, people get more riled up against Rush then before because it’s personal.

That and when you actually watch her testimony, you quickly realize just how dishonest Rush is being. She never once mentions her sex life, or anyone’s sex life. Her testimony was limited to insurance coverage for contraception and she points out that women take birth control pills for more than just avoiding pregnancy.

His lies are immediately obvious to anyone who cares to look. Plus, we’re in a very tech-savvy age where social media plays a big part. It’s real easy to tweet and share and post on Facebook, so it’s real easy for people to express their outrage and mobilize to defend Sandra Fluke.
