Bill O’Reilly Attacks Sandra Fluke: Claims She Wants Government To Pay For Her ‘Social Life’

[Galraedia]

Bill O’Reilly has joined Rush Limbaugh’s sexist assault on 30-year-old law student Sandra Fluke. On tonight’s broadcast, Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly attacked and mocked Sandra Fluke, claiming that Fluke was insisting the government pay for her “social life.” O’Reilly’s attack mirrors Limbaugh, who has insisted on that Fluke’s advocacy for contraception coverage is motivated by sexual promiscuity.

1. lifestyle drugs...

The 10 Best-Selling Drugs

The IMS reports that Americans spent $307 billion on prescription drugs in 2010. The 10 drugs on which we spent the most were:
Lipitor, a cholesterol-lowering statin drug -- $7.2 billion
Nexium, an antacid drug -- $6.3 billion
Plavix, a blood thinner -- $6.1 billion
Advair Diskus, an asthma inhaler -- $4.7 billion
Abilify, an antipsychotic drug -- $4.6 billion
Seroquel, an antipsychotic drug -- $4.4 billion
Singulair, an oral asthma drug -- $4.1 billion
Crestor, a cholesterol-lowering statin drug -- $3.8 billion
Actos, a diabetes drug -- $3.5 billion
Epogen, an injectable anemia drug -- $3.3 billion


Who's paying for all these drugs? Commercial insurance helped pay for 63% of prescriptions, down from 66% five years ago. Federal government spending through Medicare Part D covered 22% of prescriptions.

9. Hey, Bill O. Your character's been done before.

And Carroll O'Connor was much funnier as Archie Bunker.

[xtraxritical]

20. Where do these twits get the idea that any tax dollars are involved?

It's between a woman and her health insurer. Are these Republicans stupid? Do they think we're stupid? Yes and yes. They insult everyone's intelligence with their stupid spin.

[underpants]

2. What on earth is Janine Turner doing on TV?...oh that's right BillO's show is softcore porn

Seriously, the gym I used to go to had the morning re-run of his show on at 5AM. The last 20 minutes of his show is always a table discussion with at least one, usually two, "attractive" females who fall all over themselves to agree with them. Usually blonde. The 8 PM showing is a nice skirt-show for old white men before they go beddy bye.

3. This from a sexual predator who got his ass sued and settled out of court.

[JJW]

4. Epic fail

He gets free Viagra just like Limbaugh. And Limbaugh even get frees recreational drug, Oxycontin.

So the truth of the matter is, that these wide stance Republicans just hate women.

[shcrane71]

5. If O'Reilly wants to go down this path, he's dumber than I thought.

[fascisthunter]

6. sociopaths will say anything... not surprised to see the bimbos helping him

attack other women.

[Fearless]

7. Better her "social life" than her child as a ward of the state...

So to speak.

[noiretextatique]

8. republicons really should not have started this war

[2ndAmForComputers]

10. Trying to be a watered-down Limbaugh? Tsk. How unoriginal.

[Botany]

11. This from a guy who had a buzz toy up his butt as he played w/ his "little billy" ....

.... and talked dirty to a scared subordinate who later got millions from
him in an out of court settlement for sexual harassment? Pour some more gas
on that fire Billy.

BTW what Ms. Fluke was doing was talking for all women about the need to
be able to get the health care that they need and to be able to do in private.

Griswold v. Connecticut 1965 .... this is settle law but the republicans want to
pull the pin and hold the "sticking your nose into what is none of your business
hand grenade?" Fucking A go for it.

[SunSeeker]

16. AK! THAT'S what his settlement was about?! Link & brain bleach please. nt

[Botany]

17. Bill O. sent Andrea Mackris a dildo that was mailed from Fox News' office and .....

.... told her to "name it" so that they both could get off when he called her
on the phone. That was after she had told him that she was not interested
and to leave her alone but Bill would not take no for an answer. Although
the settlement called for privacy it is thought that Ms. Mackris then taped
Bill O. on his next call or calls to her. I don't know exactly what the settlement
was about but enough information is part of the public record so it is a reasonable
guess that Bill or Rupert paid real big $s to shut down the law suit.

Plenty of stuff @ the blue links in the story ..... Bill is a reel creep.

I know Bill is carrying the right wings and Rush's water in attacking Ms. Fluke
but his lawyers must be "shitting kittens" right now. Maybe we hit the daily
double and both Rush & Bill will get taken down in this mess.

[SunSeeker]

18. EEEEuuwww!

But thanks for the link...I think.

[Botany]

19. read "the stuff" in small doses.

Funny the more somebody talks about values and the family and or "teh gays" the
more likely they are to have some real issues on their own.

[Fla Dem]

12. This just show how STUPID these people are. They don't even know what her argument was.

Her message was that contraceptives are used for more than just family planning. They are a legitimate medical treatment for many female health issues. Also, there are many MARRIED students that use contraceptives to postpone beginning a family until after they completed their education. Furthermore, the health plan offered at Georgetown is not subsidized by the university. It is fully paid for by the student.

These idiots have just been saying she wants to have lots of sex and therefore has to use a lot of birth control, so ergo, the public is paying for her sexual activity.

This so distorts the position Ms Fluke presented at the Democratic "forum" in Washington. She never once referred to her need for contraceptives for her own personal use.

Here is her testimony. It is very compelling and is only 4 pages long. If any of these idiots had taken the time to read it....oh wait, they really don't care, do they? They have their hate spin, so why worry about the facts.

What also bothers me, is both Chris Matthews and Ed Schultz, while being very critical of Rush, did not clearly explain what Ms. Flukes argument was really about. Rachel Maddow did a pretty good job of that last night.

15. Excellent post. Thanks for the link. nt

13. OMG, first thing out of this blow-hards mouth is "entitlement"

Entitlement is exactly what conservatives operate from. They hate government, except when it favors them, because in their minds they are entitled, they are worthy of what they would like to deny everyone else.

I had to stop the video just after this first line because it is so outrageous that these bullies get away with corrupting simple truths like this. Now i will listen to the rest of the garbage that will follow.

[me b zola]

14. So Bill-o doesn't have insurence, eh?

What a lying creep. And BTW, Bill-o, rush has put out a fake apology, when will we see yours?

[SemperEadem]

21. go after his local sponsors

start boycotting local businesses who advertise..

[SemperEadem]

22. which includes all of his female coworkers

so is he going to tell them all that he "doesn't want to pay for their wretched fukkery and slattern lifestyles"? Fux's female workers are all sluts and ho's now with that huge, broad brush with which he's painting all women. How is he going to make the distinction between them and the rest of the US female population without pissing his coworkers off?

that restaurant he goes to for dinner after work: every female employee might be spitting in his food before he's served.

[marble falls]

23. boycott

First Limpbaugh, and now O'Really should be next.
