The wait for Sandra Fluke paid off, as the law school graduate took the stage at the coveted prime-time 10 p.m. slot to deliver a brief speech on behalf of other women who are “shut out and silenced.”

Fluke: "And then, instead of trying to silence her, you invite me here"

It's so terrible that Sandra Fluke was silenced! Watch her silence! It's so astoundingly silent!

Sandra Fluke was so silenced that she was asked to testify before Congress, give countless interviews and speak at a party convention…

Fluke acknowledged that following the election, “your new president could be a man who stands by when a public figure tries to silence a private citizen with hateful slurs” and praised President Obama for thinking of his daughters, “not his delegates or donors,” when a woman was verbally attacked.
Fluke says that when she was "attacked", Obama "thought of his daughters, not his donors." Indeed, he didn't think of Bill Maher at all.

Yes. Sandra missed those multiple instances. RT @kirstenpowers10: Also didn't Obama stay silent when Bill Maher attacked various women?

The speech didn’t last long, but here are some shorter versions.

Shorter Fluke: I DEMAND PERSONAL FREEDOM FOR MY BODY, but I want YOU TO PAY FOR MY BC! #DNC2012 #WarOnWomen

Fluke did manage in her few words to accuse vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan of co-sponsoring a bill “that would allow pregnant women to die preventable deaths in our emergency rooms.”
Dr Biden gave Fluke a standing O–so does she agree that Paul Ryan "wd allow women to die preventable deaths" in ERs?? Shameful, hateful.

Yes, Fluke did leave the stage to a standing ovation.
Silly me-me exits the Bizarro World stage to standing O. The exaltation of Nanny State poster chick Sandra Fluke is complete. #DNC

“@Cameron_Gray: Compare the extended standing ovation for Sandra Fluke and the loud booing of Jerusalem at the DNC and vote accordingly”

Watching Fluke? At the RNC, this was the Condi Rice slot. You compare. #DNC2012

Fluke said she was there to speak out on behalf of women, but not all women were happy with their DNC surrogate.
I can't take it. Sandra Fluke makes a mockery of the women's movement. I'm sorry. Women overcame and are NOT VICTIMS. Man.
— Melissa Mackenzie (@MelissaTweets) September 6, 2012
Is Sandra Fluke talking about Saudi Arabia or the United States? Women are "silenced"? Please.
— Kirsten Powers (@KirstenPowers) September 6, 2012
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.
— Kirsten Powers (@KirstenPowers) September 6, 2012
.@SandraFluke talks personal freedom. Like the freedom to decide whether or not you want health insurance? #mandate #DNC
— Jedediah Bila (@JedediahBila) September 6, 2012
For the record, Fluke has never spoken about any other issue than birth control. Not jobs, not foreign policy, just birth control. #DNC2012

Feminism weeps as Fluke and other DNC women get on their metaphorical knees to beg for government to take care of them.

Dear @SandraFluke : I have chosen. I have chosen to fight the culture of dependency that you promote, and that creates the REAL victims.
