Outrageously homophobic conservative blowhard Rush Limbaugh is still alive and running his mouth on the radio, and after finding himself at the end of a Don Lemon tongue lashing, he responded by reminding everyone that Don Lemon was gay.
After being called a “stunt king” for trying to tie soon to be former L.A. Clippers owner (and enormous racist) Donald Sterling’s comeuppance to a lack of Obama campaign contributions, Limbaugh responded with the following retort that a fifth-grader would probably rethink for being too juvenile:
“Well, over at CNN, they interpreted that to mean that I was defending Sterling! How did they get there? I don’t know how they get there. Erin Burnett played the sound bite and then went to Mr. Black Hole himself, Don Lemon—who sleeps with men, proudly—for comment.”
Sometimes we wonder what it’s like to live in the haze of pills and alcohol that is Rush Limbaugh’s head, but these rants are as close as we want to get.
Yes, Don Lemon is gay. He came out in the New York Times. He wrote an entire book about it. We don’t really need a reminder at this point.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
However, we do thank Limbaugh for reminding us that even though he may get one thing right every once in a while, he remains an enormous asshole.

When will Limbaugh od on Oxy and leave us alone?

Because in Rush’s world and in the world of the right wing, simply stating that somebody’s gay IS enough to negate their humanity and their argument. The fact that Lemon isn’t ASHAMED of it is just the cherry on the sundae for them.
It’s the same reason when they are discussing black people that they use the word “Thugs” “gangs” “Urban” etc… and why when they talk about Crime they never mention the cities with the ACTUAL highest crime rate, such as Memphis, Houston, Detroit, St. Louis, etc… in the nation, they ONLY talk about Chicago…because it’s in a Blue State and is where Obama is from.
In Rush’s world, if you are black or gay you’ve already lost, he just needs to point that out and then thinks he has won the discussion.

Limbaugh, Bimbo, is a mentally ill with sever erection dysfunctions that needs to get F.U.C.K.E.D by a Camel. There is no cure for his mental disorder.

Yes, Don Lemon does proudly sleep with men. It beats taking a handful of pills, like that oxy-junkie. If he weren’t white & famous, he’d be in jail.

Rush Limbaugh is nothing but a drug addled,fat,putrid sack of hate.

It certainly must be embarrassing for Limbaugh to be named in honor of the stinkiest cheese in the world: Limberger. It is almost as stinky as Rush’s 2-month old underwear that he should have changed last week!

Limbaugh wouldn’t be allowed to proudly pander to anti-semites on the public airwaves, but he knows he can always get away with spewing thinly veiled homophobia.
Apparently Bill Maher’s “Gay Mafia” isn’t nearly as all-powerful as he imagines it.

Limbaugh just being himself is the best Karmic payback he could get. Just look at him and you can see the ugly hatred that oozes out of his empty soul. Words fail to describe how disgusting and vile he is. He deserves his own company.

@Geeker: Your auto-correct changed you word “shit” for “hate”. You have to watch that auto-correct function sometimes.

@abuelo: You absolutely correct. All I could see is the evil coming from his whole face.

And here’s the stark contrast between being a bigot toward gay people and being a bigot toward people of colour: Rush Limbaugh won’t suffer any consequences for being a bigot toward gay people.
Despite all the apparent progress toward equality for gays, it’s still acceptable for someone to be homophobic, openly and unambiguously, virtually without repercussion.
It might be tempting to point to recent counter-examples like Brendan Eich, who manifestly worked against equality for gays, but a concerted effort was required to make a deal out of something he did some three years ago and he won’t go long without work. The fast, clear and consensus response to Donald Sterling’s disgusting racism is commendable and right, but it’s fairly clear when Rush Limbaugh and his ilk can say what they say, publish anti-gay literature and generally openly condemn gay people with virtual impunity.
Thomathy
, that there’s still a long way to go in the fight for equality for gays, a way further (if different) than people of colour have yet to go.

his nails are too long. ew.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Sounds like someone has been sending the housekeeper on outside errands again…………..
There is a thing called karma. Rush Windbag recently discussed his hearing issues. And for all practical purposes he is completly deaf. His cochlear implants allow him to hear on a very limited basis. He can not distinguish musical notes, nor have a conversation in a room with multiple people speaking.
For years we have heard him spew his vile hatred upon our community and karma bit him in that large butt by making it virtually impossible to hear anything

Typical Republican.

He is a pathetic excuse for a human being, and his drug addiction, hom0phobic addiction, and r@cist addiction don’t help matters.

Unfortunately when you are rich,bigget and own a microphone you can say whatever you want.
It dosen’t make you right, just that you are Stupid!
Thanks, Rush
