Georgetown students who disagree with Fluke may be afraid to speak up

A third-year law student from Birmingham, Ala. who jokingly describes himself as “a dirty liberal who surrounds himself with other dirty liberals,” Elliot Labovitz said students with conservative or religious values who disagreed with Sandra Fluke’s position on contraception may not only be afraid to do so publicly, but if they do, they may face wrath.

“Now is not the time,” he said. “I think they might experience something comparable to what happened to Sandra. I don’t think people would respond reasonably.”

Outrage and insult is certainly some of what one student found when she wrote what her editor called a “snarky, cynical” blog post for a site called The College Conservative titled, “Sandra Fluke Does Not Speak For Me.” Angela Morabita writes that Fluke is a liberal show pony, a “skank,” and that she has no pride or respect for religious freedom. Like many of Fluke’s detractors, Morabita also calls into question Fluke’s sex life. Shortly after her comment was posted, Limbaugh, too, had it on his own website. Morabita wrote in a separate post that the piece sparked “some of the most hateful things I have ever heard.”
