Have You Seen the Bigger Piggies?
10th November 2014MalloyProducer1 Comment
Confirmed: Rush Limbaugh's Ratings Are In The Tank
Poor Rush Limbaugh. I mean, really poor, as in empty pockets-poor. Rush “deaf by temptation” Limbaugh is demanding an apology and threatening to sue the DCCC for defamation and financial hardship, claiming they cost him advertising dollars by unfairly publicizing his comments (let’s examine that again), yes his comments on his 9/15 program about consensual sex and date rape. He claims his comments were taken out of context and the publicity is costing him advertisers. Poor baby, no more million-dollar junkets to the Dominican Republic with illegally-obtained Viagra? No more expensive Cuban stogies?
As a refresher, this is what mighty mouth had to say on the subject when he was bemoaning the Ohio State University on-campus sexual assault policy. This is from the transcript on his own website, so we can assume it’s sanctioned by the golden microphone misogynists:
Agreeing on the “why” takes all the romance out of everything, takes all the seduction. Seduction used to be an art. Now of course it’s brutish and it’s predatory and it’s bad.
Here’s what consent is at Ohio State. After you and your partner decide that you’re gonna make out or have sex, you agree to do it, then you have to agree on why. “Consent is the act of knowingly, actively and voluntarily agreeing explicitly to engage in sexual activity. Consent must be freely given and can be withdrawn at any time.”
“You have to be sober, not coerced, imaginative, enthusiastic, creative, wanted, informed, mutual, honest, verbal. The absence of ‘no’ does not mean ‘yes.’ It must be asked every step of the way. It cannot be implied or assumed, even in the context of a relationship. Circumstances in which a person CANNOT legally give consent: (No matter what he or she might verbalize): The person is severely intoxicated or unconscious as a result of alcohol or drugs. The person is physically or developmentally disabled. The victim is under the age 13 or is elderly. So as long as the girl is thirteen years old, she can give consent for sex, provided it’s creative and enthusiastic.”
“Consent must be freely given, can be withdrawn at any time, and the absence of ‘no’ does not mean ‘yes.'” How many of you guys, in your own experience with women, have learned that “no” means “yes” if you know how to spot it? Let me tell you something. In this modern world, that is simply not tolerated. People aren’t even gonna try to understand that one. I mean, it used to be said it was a cliche. It used to be part of the advice young boys were given.
{speaking facetiously}See, that’s what we gotta change. We have got to reprogram the way we raise men. Why do you think permission every step of the way, clearly spelling out “why”… are all of these not lawsuits just waiting to happen if even one of these steps is not taken?
I don’t know how men can be held to that Ohio State agreement, policy, anyway, because everybody knows in sex men don’t think with their brains. Not the one in their heads, anyway. It’s just so silly.
{commentary added}
Defamation. If you have a minute, visit the link and read the whole transcript. Before waxing idiotic on Ohio State, he was off on a rant about how professional sports had become “sissified” when discussing the NFL’s firing of Ray Rice for beating his girlfriend. But I digress . . . .
El Rushbo isn’t backing away from his comment about “no” meaning “yes,” mind you, because this is a fair representation of the hostility he bears toward women in general (more on that in a moment). But he is claiming the DCCC unfairly zeroed in on one phrase and used it in an email blast. This is from WaPo:
The legal threat is the result of DCCC fundraising appeals sent out in the wake of Limbaugh’s on-air comments about a new policy at Ohio State University that instructs students to get verbal consent before having sex. The DCCC highlighted one particular sentence from his commentary — “How many of you guys .?.?. have learned that ‘no’ means ‘yes’ if you know how to spot it?” — saying it was tantamount to condoning sexual assault.
Limbaugh says the DCCC took the comment out of context and twisted it in its fundraising appeals. “We love opinions, but this crossed a very bright line,” said Limbaugh’s spokesman, Brian Glicklich, in an interview. “They lied about his words. They quoted something specific and out of context, and it is a lie.”
Glicklich also said the major basis of Limbaugh’s threatened legal action is not political, but economic, since the DCCC letter also called for the boycott of advertisers. [the] letter accused the DCCC of “an attempt to damage his radio program and the small businesses that communicate with his audience.”
Uh, okay. So the complete statement is above, is it any less offensive in context? I maintain you could’ve pulled a dozen lines from his screed and they would have all been offensive to women. Where is the lie? Jabba the Rush was clearly expressing his outrage over Ohio State’s “silly” definition of consensual sex, claiming that getting consent takes all the “romance” out of sex.
Because, you know, rape is fun. At least for the guy, in his opinion, because they don’t think with the “brains” in their heads – wink-wink.
What a pig. A filthy rich pig who is now making the ridiculous claim that the DCCC is causing serious financial harm to his “small business.” Like he’s running a little mom-and-pop supermarket or something. Preposterous for a millionaire making over $25 million a year, from his wealthy backers if not direct advertisers.
Defamation – the hypocrisy is staggering. I wonder if he’s also planning to sue Sandra Fluke for costing him advertisers when he repeatedly called her a slut who was having “so much sex” she needed taxpayers to pay her to have sex . . . all this because she advocated for insurance companies to cover birth control pills. Why not sue her, Mr. EIB? She cost you more than the DCCC by covering the “out of context” comments you made about her. Was that defamation, too? Did she harm your pristine reputation?
The oxymoron has a long history of tirades against women. Remember when he held up a photo of Chelsea Clinton and said “the White House has a new dog?” She was about 13 at the time. Here are some of his biggest hits, thanks to Linda Lowan writing for about.com:
The Sandra Fluke controversy was not the first time Limbaugh’s words got him into trouble. Below is a sampling of some of the most widely-quoted Rush Limbaugh comments about women from his radio show:
On feminism and unattractive women:
“Feminism is about victimization. Don’t forget Undeniable Truth of Life Number 24. Feminism was established to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream.”
– The Rush Limbaugh Show June 9, 2011 from MediaMatters.org
On college education being “feminized”:
“Colleges have been chickified. Men aren’t showing up in as many numbers as they used to…This is what we have done to boys and men. The feminists / feminazis have been working for years to this end: advance women by diminishing men.”
– The Rush Limbaugh Show January 19, 2010 from MediaMatters.org
On the definition of misogyny:
“The definition of a misogynist is a man who hates women almost as much as women hate women. That’s what a misogynist is. Did you know that…A misogynist is a guy who hates women almost as much as women hate women.”
– The Rush Limbaugh Show March 2, 2012 from MediaMatters.org
On female politicians and physical appearance:
“Female politicians get a pass on every aspect of their appearance. You would never have stories about how some female politican’s fat… There are plenty of lard-ass women in politics, and they get a total pass on it.”
– The Rush Limbaugh Show October 4, 2011 from MediaMatters.org
On where he gets his knowledge of women’s behavior:
“My cat comes to me when she wants to be fed. I have learned this. I accept it for what it is. Many people in my position would think my cat’s coming to me because she loves me. Well, she likes me, and she is attached, but she comes to me when she wants to be fed. And after I feed her…she’s off to wherever she wants to be in the house, until the next time she gets hungry. She’s smart enough to know she can’t feed herself. She’s actually a very smart cat. She gets loved. She gets adoration. She gets petted. She gets fed. And she doesn’t have to do anything for it, which is why I say this cat’s taught me more about women, than anything my whole life. — The Rush Limbaugh Show November 30, 2006 from MediaMatters.org
On sexual harassment in the Herman Cain controversy:
“You can’t call a woman a broad even if it’s affectionate. You can’t even say, ‘Hey baby.’ No, you can’t even do that. What did Herman Cain do here? He goes up and says, ‘Can maybe we go to dinner?’…and that means we have a predator on our hands? You know and I know that during the 90s, and you guys who have lost your kids in custody fights you know exactly what I’m talking about. The feminists / feminazis went out there and there was a period of time in this country where every man and every husband was a predator by virtue of his existence alone, by virtue of just being a man. This is what the feminazis taught. And I think this is its legacy in part….I’ll tell you, you women. Why don’t you just make it official, put on some burkas and I’ll guaran-damn-tee you nobody’ll touch you. You put on a burka, and everybody’ll leave you alone if that’s what you want.”
— The Rush Limbaugh Show November 8, 2011 from MediaMatters.org
On why liberal women are responsible for the Anthony Wiener scandal:
“I wonder: Why is it that Anthony Weiner turns out to be the kind of guy he is? How does that happen?…What kinda women has Anthony Weiner been around his whole life? He has been around a bunch of these kinds of women who have been attacking testosterone, who have been attacking traditional male roles.He’s been around women to whom the idea of a real guy is some metrosexual. Is it any wonder, ladies and gentlemen?…Hollywood is working on four or five (it might even be six) sitcoms about how men have basically just been just beaten down to pantywaist, Milquetoast wimps — and they’re comedies. It’s in vogue to make fun of weak, worthless, wimp sissies. That’s who the men are in these upcoming shows. Now, how do these men turn out that way? Who makes them that way?
‘Cause that’s not their natural state. I mean, you look at Weiner. We cannot blame what happened to Weiner on testosterone. We’re looking at a guy here who is kiddie whipped…somebody here who’s been hanging around these kind of women — and he’s doing anything he can to break out. He’s doing everything he can to step out and get away from their control. This, to Anthony Weiner, is being a guy. He’s not allowed to be a guy hanging around a bunch of liberal women.”
— The Rush Limbaugh Show June 13, 2011 from RushLimbaugh.com
Fire up your lawyers, file the lawsuit. Claim you’re forced to live on ramen noodle soup because the DCCC repeated your disgusting comments. Demand an apology for your reprehensible comments about consensual sex.
Poor little Pigman. Such a victim of liberal propaganda.
