Right wing radio host Rush Limbaugh employed some – um – “colorful” words while explaining the Democrats’ relationship with gay and black voters during his June 23rd show:
CALLER: Hello. I want to know how the Republicans [think they] don’t need Christians and conservatives, and they think we’re 30 percent. Twelve percent black people in the population. Ten percent — they claim — homosexuals in the population. Rush, honey, when did 30 percent get to be a small number?
LIMBAUGH: I don’t — I think it’s actually larger than 30 percent. But let me see if I can get your question right. You want to know why the Republicans are willing to say, “Screw you,” to 30 percent or more of their voters and yet Democrats will bend over, grab the ankles, and say, “Have your way with me,” for 10 percent and 2 percent of the population?
Limbaugh later boiled down his reply to one word: “money.”

Loud mouth talks about bending over and grabbing the ankles while wearing a rainbow colored tie. He is such a closet case.

He should bend over. And fuck himself.

I have listened to this guy for years, is very small doses, (can’t take too much at once) just to hear “the other side.” While every side has a few people who distort or slant, this guy flat out lies. I remember years ago a supposedly Gay guy called the program and said he didn’t think he needed marriage because he had all his rights, didn’t he? (this was posed as a question to Rush the Windbag) – Well, Rush fumbled and bumbled around for a several seconds and said ummph, harumph uhhhh, I guess so. Well, Mary stop the train – that was a bald faced lie. This guy claims to read the New York Times, The Washington Post and everything in between from cover to cover to supposedly be a world class source of information. So, he KNEW Gays didn’t have any protections at that time. This is only one example. there’s so much more. I don’t know how this guy stays on the air. Yes I do, people don’t think for themselves.
Jaroslaw
And let’s not forget how many times HE has been married and as far as I’m concerned, he should be in prison for his prescription drug scandals.

There’s much more to what Limbaugh said during that segment than reported above. Look at Limbaugh’s reply after the caller said “I understand.” and then again after “mm-hmmm” Wow!
LIMBAUGH: I don’t — I think it’s actually larger than 30 percent. But let me see if I can get your question right. You want to know why the Republicans are willing to say, “Screw you,” to 30 percent or more of their voters and yet Democrats will bend over, grab the ankles, and say, “Have your way with me,” for 10 percent and 2 percent of the population?
CALLER: Delicately, yes.
LIMBAUGH: Well, I — nothing delicate about me on these matters. These are just innocent figures of speech —
CALLER: I understand.
LIMBAUGH: — that I was using. There is an answer to your — basic question is, “Why don’t the Democrats say, ‘To hell with you, you wacko nuts in the base,’ like Republicans do?”
CALLER: Mm-hmm.
LIMBAUGH: The — there’s a complicated answer to this and I’m going to have answer some of it in the monologue in the next hour, but one of the simple answers that will require some elaboration is that a lot of money is coming from these kooks — and I’m not talking about just the blacks — I’m talking about a whole kook-fringe base because George Soros is running it —
CALLER: It’s true.
LIMBAUGH: — and they need the money. We’ll be back after this. Stay with us.

As a comedian Limbutt is HILARIOUS. What he failed to point out is that for him he bends over for cash AND Hillbilly Heroin.
He is OVAH!
John
His continued popularity is a sad commentary on our inability to provide meaningful political participation to a large swath of our uneducated population. Like poor people, I guess this sort of loudmouth gasbag will always be with us. It could be the Oxycontin talking (or is that the acne treatement?).
todd
Rush used to be funny – now he’s just a washed up has been Jonesing for a fix…
CHURCHILL-Y
If only they were right, the Dems are only bending over for the first group they mention, the “homosexuals” are only getting and will continue to get the one finger salute by Hussein’s DNC.
CitizenGeek
CHURCHILL-Y, go back to the Log Cabin Self-Haters where you belong. Obama is the most pro-gay presidential candidate ever, and if you can’t see that, then you’re an idiot. Pure and simple: you’re an idiot.
Paul Raposo
Limpballs used to troll for sex under the alias Jeff Christie:
“Here, in his ‘Jeff Christie’ phase, Rush Limbaugh worked under an assumed identity, as do many self-loathing, closeted homosexuals. After being arrested for soliciting a gay man in Pittsburgh, Limbaugh was fired from KQV radio, according to numerous sources.”

Umm…how in the world could Rush Limbaugh ever bend over and grab his ankles?
He’s much to corpulent (I’m being nice) to do that. Heehee
chuck
*too*
hell's kitchen guy
there isn’t enough Viagra and meth in Chelsea to let me hate fuck this guy. He is to men what elephant shit is to hamburger.
martymartymarty
“Hate fuck”? What the hell is that? Sounds gross.
BobP
Just picture him crawling around on the floor in his underwear looking for the pill that got away.
And you know it happened.
BillB
Look at how fat he looks in this picture.
Rush and his cronies are Godless, and worse yet, philosophy-less Luddites spewing their own personal opinions and ideas, and no one else’s. If it were up to them, they’d rule. They aren’t for freedom of speech and supporting the foundation of America; they are for tearing it down, with their tyranny-laced diatribes and self-satisfying crap.
