Sandra Fluke: the aggrieved victim

    DNC speaker Sandra Fluke, who was so wounded by Rush's euphemistically calling her a "slut"earlier this year, has reached the pinnacle of Leftist iconography.
  She was allowed the opportunity to represent the aggrieved victim on the DNC stage, eliciting sympathy from the adoring victim-hungry crowds.
  Here's part of her speech. Note the victimology language, which makes her sound like a defenseless, innocent child who was attacked by a meanie man:
We’ve also seen another future we could choose. First of all, we’d have the right to choose. It’s an America in which no one can charge us more than men for the exact same health insurance; in which no one can deny us affordable access to the cancer screenings that could save our lives; in which we decide when to start our families. An America in which our president, when he hears a young woman has been verbally attacked, thinks of his daughters—not his delegates or donors—and stands with all women. And strangers come together, reach out and lift her up. And then, instead of trying to silence her, you invite me here—and give me a microphone—to amplify our voice.
  Now, choice is only something Leftists want for you when it comes to killing babies, even if full term. It does NOT include what you ingest, buy, read, drive or even sometimes where you live.
  And why on earth would insurance companies charge one gender more for health care than another? Could it have something to do with more medical procedures one gender will need because of something called childbirth?
  This America of which Fluke speaks is not one we know. 
  She describes it this way, as if we live in Pakistan or something, where women are beheaded for being, well, women:
In that America, your new president could be a man who stands by when a public figure tries to silence a private citizen with hateful slurs. Who won’t stand up to the slurs, or to any of the extreme, bigoted voices in his own party. It would be an America in which you have a new vice president who co-sponsored a bill that would allow pregnant women to die preventable deaths in our emergency rooms. 
  And so forth.
  You'll note that Fluke seems oblivious of the horrendous slurred uttered against Black and/or female conservatives such as Sarah Palin or Condeleezza Rice, whether they are currently political or not. 
  Sandra Fluke, whether she's willing to admit it or not, is a political operative, a 30 year old woman who has long supported extreme abortion positions that most of America rejects and, in fact, abhors.
  Not everyone accepts Fluke's depiction of the US as such a meanie country trying to hurt her, including Democrat (albeit a reasonable one) Kirsten Powers, who tweeted several times that she was offended by Fluke's characterization of the US as such an abhorrent country:
My response to Fluke: The US is one of the best countries in the world to be born in if you are a woman. I thank God that i was born here.
  Twitchy has much more
  The DNC has repeatedly shown itself this week to be extreme and out of the mainstream as far as Americans' sacred beliefs.
  Leftists seem unable to be objective when it comes to politics anymore, particularly the likes of icons.
  Meanwhile, we wait for Powers to be thrown under the bus.
