Top Democrat Calls For Radio Stations To Drop Rush Limbaugh After He Suggested ‘No Means Yes’
A top Democrat on Tuesday called on radio stations to stop broadcasting the Rush Limbaugh Show after the conservative radio host mocked rape victims by suggesting that no means “yes.” Ohio State University’s new sexual assault policies require students to agree to sexual activity, rather than leaving it up to someone that can’t tell yes from no.
Think Progress reports:
On his show on Monday, Limbaugh claimed that requiring affirmative consent is an unreasonable standard because guys know that “no means yes if you know how to spot it.”
In the segment, which was first flagged by Media Matters, Limbaugh claimed that “seduction used to be an art” and college campuses are now making it into something that is considered to be “brutish” and “predatory.”
He suggested it’s unrealistic to require students to ask for permission every step of the way during a sexual encounter. “Are these not lawsuits waiting to happen?” the radio host said.
Limbaugh’s critics wasted no time calling for his removal, pointing out that his approach to sexual assault has no place in a society that’s currently grappling with the best way to respond to intimate partner violence and campus rape cases.
“There’s simply no excusing comments of this offensive nature, especially at a time where our country is having a long-overdue conversation about violence against women,” Democratic Congressional Committee Chairman Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY) said in a statement. “Plain and simple — Rush Limbaugh is advocating for the tolerance of sexual assault and should be taken off the air immediately.”
The stations that still broadcast this man’s show, do not care about rape victims. This is hardly the first time Limbaugh has disparaged females. He called Sandra Fluke a “slut” and a “prostitute” in 2012 for a week straight. The list is endless.

Here’s some GOOD news about El Rushbo:

He’s slowly but surely crawling back into his hole, one super-station at a time. Pretty soon he’ll be a whiny little voice on the puny, small market 5,000 watt daytime only AM stations–like the one in my red little town.

Limpbutt, should have been let go a long time ago. But the problem is with our Federal Communications agency. The RW propaganda and hate talk stations are allowed to say what they please. They call is freedom of speech. But it isn’t. It is lies, racism, and hatred being broad-casted over the airwaves. This needs to stop. They need to do their job.

Are you kidding? Jabba the Rush is the best thing to ever happen to the Dems. Representing Conservatives and calling a college co-ed a slut right before a presidential election?
Limpbag is campaign gold.
M D Reese September 16th, 2014 at 20:44
Oh man–that would do it for me. Even in the dark, just knowing it was there.

It glows with toxic, radioactive malevolence.
M D Reese September 16th, 2014 at 20:43
We-the people OWN the airwaves. We need to take them back. If they want to spew hate, they can go off to some corner of the interwebs like Beck.

Ladies Young & Old Alike Grab the Cattle prods & Hot Curling Irons & Let us Teach this Fat Sleazy Old Pervert The Real Meaning of No! This Tub of lard will be Yelling Noooooo but really he means Yes. We will see. We’re coming for you Rush. Bend over & take it like a Man!

Women who have been raped since rush said this should sue his fat ass for every penny this slob has because he instigated their attack, then sue his entire family for letting him exist.
M D Reese September 16th, 2014 at 20:42
I’m not sure if he has a family. His wives are usually under contract, and insist on their own houses.
Suzanne McFly September 17th, 2014 at 11:17
Maybe that is his problem, he has absolutely no one in his life, no love and no one too love. I would be a royal ass too.
M D Reese September 17th, 2014 at 13:36
I’m alone also–I don’t take it out on others.
Suzanne McFly September 17th, 2014 at 13:45
You are not alone, you have people in your life who genuinely care for you. You have people online who don’t even know you who care for you and appreciate your view points. I don’t believe anyone, except old grumpy white men on Viagra, even likes rush, he knows this and this is why he is so damn hateful. Proof money won’t buy you happiness.
M D Reese September 17th, 2014 at 13:49
Oh–I’m happy–and I enjoy a few folks here and there. Just not in my personal sphere.
Frank Harrison September 18th, 2014 at 01:18
Gee, sounds like the both of you are taking it out on Rush right now. How’s that making you fell. Empowered. Yutz’
M D Reese September 18th, 2014 at 18:56
Not at all–Rush is a pile of crap no matter how you look at him. He thinks that head-butting a woman is just seduction, and knocking her out is just another way to say “I love you”.

Money trumps tolerance. Until enough people demand that he goes away, by very vocal and visible boycotts of his sponsors, local ones especially, this human pestilence will continue to pollute the airwaves.
Frank Harrison September 18th, 2014 at 01:17
And even then. Conservatives couldn’t get Al Franken off the air, and libs didn’t even listen to him. He had no listeners, yet, he stayed on local radio, and even got on Sirius in the beginning. Radio’s the lost medium. No one cares. And he’s not on Pandora. Or iHeart, I think.The only people that care, are the ones who are too big a batch of losers to let comments like this go, ignore him, and let him fader off into nothingness. Its funny how liberalism works like that

So on top of all of his previous misogynistic remarks, the Bombastic One has endorsed rape — why are we not surprised?
On a side note, when Rush says “no more pie for me”, he really means “keep feeding my fat face!”
Suzanne McFly September 16th, 2014 at 19:50
It is almost like he is trying to get fired, that will possibly increase his speaking fees? I don’t know what he is doing, but it is for a dollar, that is what motivates this slob.
M D Reese September 16th, 2014 at 20:40
I don’t think he can be fired. He IS however being down-graded from 50,000 watt super channels to 5,000 watt local channels. A few years back he down-played his self-induced deafness until he negotiated a big contract–and now they are stuck with him. He’s included in a package deal.

forced to resign maybe. keep him in his contract but, instead of lots of time, 30 min a day on the weakest station.
M D Reese September 17th, 2014 at 13:39
I’ll bet they just play out his contract. It’ll be fun to watch though.
M D Reese September 16th, 2014 at 20:46
If we were to interpret everything he says as the opposite, wouldn’t that make him a bleeding heart liberal? He’s really going to hate that.
Frank Harrison September 18th, 2014 at 01:13
Obviously, so are liberals. Because if it turns out he is a liberal, then liberals will have to stop going after him. Oh wait, what am I thinking. Liberals go after each other all the time. It’s just considered to be more civilized when that happens since liberals are so “evolved.”
