16. But Bill Maher is not the leader of the Democratic Party.

See the difference??

The defacto leader of the GOP attacked a woman for daring to try and testify to congress.

Bill Maher is not the defacto leader of the Democratic party. Not even close.

It is not simply a "conservative" who attacked Fluke, but one of their leaders. And if you dispute that Rush is one of their leaders, you are not being serious ... the GOP presidential candidates are terrified of having to call him out for his three day attack, in which Rush LIED repeatedly about Fluke's testimony. That is how scared of Rush they are.

Interestingly, Fluke's testimony was not even about herself. And yet Rush and the GOP decided to make her the issue anyway in an obvious effort to silence her.

That has failed. And the right wing becomes more shrill about that fact almost daily.
