Wow! Kirsten Powers was definitely not a fan last night of Sandra Fluke’s speech at the DNC, calling it offensive and saying after it was over “I hope that any young girl who saw that Fluke speech has someone to tell her it’s a lie: women are powerful and have freedom of speech.” BAM!
Here are Kirsten’s tweets about the speech:
Is Sandra Fluke talking about Saudi Arabia or the United States? Women are "silenced"? Please.

When a person insults you they aren't trying to silence you…..they are trying to insult you.

I really don't see how this speech helps Obama.

Also didn't Obama stay silent when Bill Maher attacked various women?

I find this speech so offensive as a woman. The idea that women are silenced victims.

Sandra Fluke should visit Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and then see how she feels about how the US treats women

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.

I hope that any young girl who saw that Fluke speech has someone to tell her it's a lie: women are powerful and have freedom of speech.
