Fox News analyst Monica Crowley on Friday apologized for tweeting the news of Sandra Fluke’s engagement with the comment, “To a man?”
Crowley’s initial post Thursday about the Georgetown Law student prompted a flurry of responses, including ones calling her “homophobic“ and a ”terrible person.” She retweeted a few of them, and tweeted that she loves “exposing the Left’s total lack of a sense of humor.”
That came to an end Friday afternoon, however, when Crowley wrote: “Regret my tweeted question caused a stir. I certainly & unequivocally apologize to Sandra & anyone else I offended. Not my intention.”
Fluke — who gained instant notoriety when Rush Limbaugh termed her a “slut” after her congressional testimony about contraception access — told the Daily Beast earlier this week she was engaged to her longtime boyfriend Adam Mutterperl.
Fluke responded to Crowley‘s tweet Thursday night on MSNBC’s “The Ed Show,“ calling it ”blatant homophobia.”

Exactly? Adam Mutterperl & Sandra Fluke cannot afford birth control between the 2 of them?
2 College educated people in their late 20s cannot afford birth control?
What a bunch of losers!
Is Adam Mutterperl the type of man that would have other people pay for that which he can pay for himself?

Posted on April 28, 2012 at 2:11amWouldn’t it be small-minded of us to assume she is engaged to a man?
I am led to believe that the proper thing to do would be to ask…
The left confuses me; I’m in trouble if I expect the engagement to be traditional, and I’m in trouble if I ask.
I’ll never catch on…I guess it‘s ’re-education’ for me.

Posted on April 28, 2012 at 6:08amWTF stands for What the Fluke.
To be used when Peter wants Paul; to subsidize his sex life.
Peter (meaning Sandra Fluke in this case) can afford the pills, but if peter is forced to subsidize said pills then Peter can have money left over for foreign “vacays”.

______________________________
So true. I expects Sandra to keep her surname or at most hyphenate it. As supposedly Waspish as America is suppose to be, the name Mutterperl will become a goldmine for people pointing out Sandra’s some to be numerous faux pauxs.
Just Sandra’s asking people to subsidize her birth control while attending one of the most expensive colleges in the nation & then jetting off to Spain invites comparisons with Michelle Obama.
Sandra is the the female Joe Biden. She is the gift that keeps on giving.

Posted on April 27, 2012 at 3:39pmWhat I find disturbing is that every day there are more and more calls for speech to be restricted or sanitized as to not be offensive. The people calling for this sanitation of speech, usually speech only they deem offensive, are digging a giant hole for themselves that they will one day want to get out of but cannot. Free speech means free speech..Period! All the folks that cry about being offended need to stop and think about what they are promoting. Too bad if you are offended. That is life. The answer is not to take peoples freedoms away. That is never the answer. People like Fluke are destroying this country and our freedoms and are too stupid to realize it because they are too blinded by their personal agenda. Being free means you will be offended. There isn’t any other way. I also really wish that people stop apologizing every time some ******* demands it. That does nothing but encourage them to do it again. They won‘t change their views about you and they aren’t going to sing your praises. All they will do is use it as a club to beat you down so you won’t have the guts to stand up and say something when it really matters. It is intimidation. Nothing more, nothing less. Please people…quit letting yourselves be intimidated by these people. We will never win if we are scared to even speak.

Posted on April 27, 2012 at 11:29pmExactly, blackopps did Monica say that came even close to what the liberal whackos say? She asked a legitimate question. Is she engaged to a man? Why is that homophobic or evil in any way….I would have asked the same question. Since lesbianism is the latest fad for females…it is a reasonable question. There it goes again. Somebody says something that isn’t offensive, but the offended group who is offended by everything is offended. What is new about that? That is why I disengage whenever I realize I am talking to a liberal. Know how I know when I am talking to a liberal? I have to explain every word that comes out of my mouth. With a real person, I don’t have to do that. Monica, don’t apologize. Rescind your apology….let her put a condom over her ears if she doesn’t like what you said.

Posted on April 27, 2012 at 3:38pmIt may have been rude to intrude, but well, I for one would like to hear Miss Fluke’s answer. We all need to lighten up – and I am glad Ms. Crowley is open minded enough to be happy about a potential engagement for Dick Cheney’s daughter. If it were, then she could playfully ask who would be the wife?

Posted on April 27, 2012 at 3:44pmBased on her calculations for her needs of Birth Control, being 10 times what the cost for one person is, I would say she evolved into some that doens’t need knee pads, they’re are either caloused up already or numb from spending so much time in that position…
Again if the left wants boys to marry boys, girls to marry girls, boys and girls to marry pets, and now obama’s muslim brotherhood friends want to allow sex with dead significant others for up to 6 hours… I would think asking gender of fiancee is a valid question and no appology is needed…. maybe asking age and time of death maybe be valid also. Any disgust from the left means they have not embraced same sex marriage like they have claimed would it not?

If you sneeze at the wrong octave in this country someone gets their feelings hurt, and everyone starts using popular buzzwords like offended, appalled, shocked, racist, homophobe, ad nauseum!
Ms. Fluke should have responded with, “Actually, I found a loophole in the law that will allow me to marry my hands. Which is awesome because foreplay only consists of kissing my hands a couple of times. And they will go as fast or as slow as I want them to. And they’re gauranteed to get me off every time!”
