Is anyone else hearing stupid jokes about how supposedly ugly Sandra Fluke is?

If you ever check out Free Republic you'll see them at their most disgustingly misogynistic but it happened on another more bipartisan forum I was posting at, one guy when asked about if he'd do something rather unpleasant responded "Ugh, no I'd rather see Sandra Fluke in a bikini." as if that was quite horrid.

I mean it'd be one thing albeit still crass and tasteless if she actually was unattractive, but she really isn't. She's kind of plain looking in the first videos she appeared in because she looks like someone concerned with more than looks...like someone in law school. She wasn't dressing to pick up guys in a club. And at the DNC she looked great:



That's just the topper in how disgusting and misogynistic the whole thing is.

Seems like a lovely person, and such courage. Very impressive indeed.

And as someone who has always had the hots for Winona Ryder, I can attest that Sandra Fluke is similarly attractive.

And yes, she looked particularly fine at the DNC. Her new fiance is one lucky dude.

I mean, I'm not suggesting that that's all she has going for her, but if the subject is her attractiveness, I think by most objective standards of normal human beings that she is. Plus, she has a kind look about her, which in my book adds to it. But then I never understood the Chelsea Clinton jokes by conservatives. I always thought she was a very cute child and she's become a beautiful woman.

Frankly, I really don't like makeup unless it is subtle and only on special occasions. She's not caked in it in any clip or picture I've seen. I seriously hope she becomes a leader in the Democratic Party and perhaps runs for president when she's old enough. She has the character and integrity for the job.

Who do they have, except Ann ( ) Coulter?

Sandra Fluke is a lovely, intelligent young woman and I'm proud she is a democrat.

in general.

If they have the nerve to advocate for Dems instead of staying in the kitchen and voting the way their husband tells them, then they're "feminazis."

My grandma was first generation in a Welsh-speaking part of Scranton.

I agree, Wales is great! I love it there.

It's a principality of the United Kingdom.

Someone once said that the USA is a nation composed of fifty states. The UK is a state composed of four nations.

Her looks have nothing to do with her ideas or her worth as a person.

Besides, I'll probably never get to meet her. And even if I did, she would *probably* think I was a little too old for her (but you never know!).

The freepers are hilarious. I wonder how many of them have had a woman that lovely even *look* at them?

All those years of looking at (and even worse, listening to) Coulter and Ingraham has warped their taste in women.
