Sandra Fluke To Go After Akin In Obama Campaign Email Blast

Source: TPM

Sandra Fluke will rebuke controversial comments made by Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) in a mass email to be sent out Tuesday by the Obama campaign, ABC News reports.

Fluke, who was thrust into the spotlight earlier this year after Rush Limbaugh called her a "slut" after her Capitol Hill testimony on contraception, will speak at the Democratic National Convention in September.

The Obama campaign will later today send out a mass e-mail to supporters from abortion rights activist Sandra Fluke criticizing the comments of embattled Missouri Senate candidate Rep. Todd Akin, R-Mo., and trying to tie them to the GOP presidential platform, ABC News has learned.

The email will be just the latest attempt by the Obama campaign to link the presumptive Republican presidential ticket to Akin, whose widely condemned (and scientifically false) remarks about rape have been disputed by both Mitt Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., in addition to almost every national Republican official with a pulse.

"I don't give them Hell. I just tell the truth about them and they think it's Hell."

That's alll that the GOP is squwking about now.

Just keep on saying the truth and send their chances of ruining this country to Hell.

Nope this is going to be a campaign ad. For extra points put Romney's position in on personhood legislation.
