Limbaugh: ‘Democrats Will Bend Over, Grab The Ankles, Say Have Your Way With Me’ To Blacks And Gays»

Media Matters notes that on his radio show yesterday, Rush Limbaugh told a caller that “Democrats will bend over, grab the ankles, and say have your way with me” to African-Americans and gays:

CALLER: Hello. I want to know how the Republicans 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?

CALLER: Delicately, yes.

Listen here:

Limbaugh said “these kooks — and I’m not talking about just the blacks — I’m talking about a whole kook-fringe base” have influence because they have money. But, he added, “in addition to the money aspect of this,” there is the “anti-war kook fringe. And it is huge. From MoveOn.org to Think Progress to My Base Book — whatever these things, these things — well, maybe not MySpace or Face, whatever it is.”

Limbaugh complained that these “kooks” have too much influence on the left. All this coming from the far right’s preeminent smear artist, a man who is — as John McCain says — “a voice that is respected by a lot of people who are in our [Republican] party.”

    And what would this lard assed, drug addled, gas bag do for the Bush Crime Family? These guys are unreal.


  2. blue state bob Says:

    Republicans do know a lot about bending over and having their way with each other.


  3. spencers mom Says:

    I take a great deal of pride in knowing that I’m exactly the sort of person that Rush hates. If he approved of me, I’d have to rethink my life.

    PEACE

    I didn’t even read this before saying what the…
    Please can we have some freaks show up to argue on behalf of this


  5. marlow Says:

    The way chimpy grabbed his ankles and let the bin Ladens have their way with three thousand Americans? The way cowboy Ronnie grabbed his ankles and let the Ayatollah have his weapons trade? The way this maggot-ridden anal cyst grabs his ankles for anyone willing to flip him an oxycontin? My kingdom for the person who rams that cigar up his and then makes him smoke it.

    Wow! Marlow, you got the four letter a word past the TP censors! Way to go!

    Can anyyone say “irrelevant?”

    Holy shit. Marlow Rules!!!

    So now we know what gasbaggy does on his trips to the Carribean.

    I wish Daryll were awake to comment on this, but the combination of meth and cheetoes is a powerful sedative.

  14. Nevar Says:

    I wonder if Rush will ever realize within his lifetime that he and his followers are the kooks?
    If he never gets it, then he’ll be back to try again.
    My guess is he’ll come back as a genetically engineered anaerobic bacterium.


  15. COProgressive Says:

    People still listen to that druggie windbag?

    why can I say sodomy but not anole eyes?


  22. bronco214 Says:

    Listen here
    What, are you nuts?

    3 out of 4 ain’t bad.

    (Wow. “ain’t” doesn’t even trip the spell check… and we can’t use a simple, and common, base word in our elucidations.
    Sad…..)


  24. barfly Says:

    Of course, republicans never bend over and grab their ankles for Big Pharma, Big Oil, and Wall Street - because they need their hands free for the political reach-around.


  25. dbadass Says:

    I really think that if TP will not offer up a list of no no words we will have to build a grassroots list on our own. Sometimes D-bag works it seems


  26. pete Says:

    “Kook”, from a turd like Lush Rimjob, is high flattery.


  27. Drooling Zombie Says:

    Funny, so Rush will only appeal to a single group because he can’t do math…
    “for 10 percent and 2 percent of the population?”
    No, no, no… unless you believe every gay person is black, the total is
    = 10% + (10% + 12%*(100-10)%) (100-10 takes out the overlap between the two)
    = 10% + 12%*90%
    = 10% + 10.8%
    = 20.8%


  28. pbg Says:

    “Is 30% such a small number?”
    It’s a lot less than 70%.
    Allow us to demonstrate…


  29. Zooey Says:

    It blows my mind that there are people who will listen to this disgusting moron, and agree with whatever filth comes out of his pie hole.


  30. ucsbclassics53 Says:

    love how he uses the sexual imagery to scare his Dittohead base…

    guy’s so racist and homophobic that he doesn’t even know it comes out…


  31. Innocent Bystander Says:

    Does anyone expect a narcotics junkie is getting paid $24MM/year to tell the truth?

    Delivering 5MM ignorant voters to the Republican Party….now that’s a great ROI.


  32. hussein toasterhead Says:

    I wonder how much it hurts Jeff Christie to spew this kind of homophobic crap.


  33. Alecto Says:

    The RECUHWING is getting so desparate.Tonight the other Rush Wannabe pussy, mark levin actually wa lamenting because he was not able to drive his car at 80MPH. It was classic bizrro-world fcuknut.
    I would like to ram that cigar down douchbag’s throat lit side first.


  34. Gregor Samsa Says:

    That Rush, he’s got such interesting sexual imagery.

    I guess we know now there is nobody this moron hates more than gays and black people.

    Although I have to agree this is probably one person who is respected by a lot in the Republican party. Homophobic and racist; how could he not be respected with those credentials?


  35. gummitch Says:

    Limbaugh said “these kooks — and I’m not talking about just the blacks — I’m talking about a whole kook-fringe base” have influence because they have money.

    Am I the only one who is amazed by this statement? Suddenly, blacks and kooks have enough money to influence the Democrats? We got rich?

    Not to mention the irony of a Republican complaining that wealth is influencing politics.

    And, finally, since when did the Republican party turn its back on conservatives and Christians? WTF? That’s all they’ve got left!


  36. Musk Says:

    This is for those who don’t know this true story about Rush. I figure there’s got to be a few.

    Whenever Rush blows his stink around and starts to get to me, I think back on the day he subbed for Pat Sajak, back when Pat was on late nite. Rush subbed for Pat one night thinking it would be a great opportunity for him to break into the mainstream. In other words, expand his audience beyond “ditto heads.” Some of the mainstream audience began to heckle him for all the outrageous bullshit he had said on his radio show. I tell ya gang, they were out for blood. The network [CBS I think] went to 1 . . then 2 commercial breaks, because things were getting pretty nasty. Now get this, after the second commercial they went back to Rush and the gang, only there was no gang [audience]. Things had gotten so out of hand that CBS completely cleared the audience out of the studio. Rush was playing to an empty house and was desperately trying to salvage the spectacle by trying to look fair and open-minded. He lamented that the audience didn’t get to know him. Damn, it was beautiful! On that night poor old Rush learned that there’s a lot of people that can’t stand him. He’s been surrounded by “ditto-headed” toadies ever since. Go to Youtube and type “A Bully Gets Bullied.”


  37. Gregor Samsa Says:

    Democrats will bend over, grab the ankles, and say, “Have your way with me,” for 10 percent and 2 percent of the population

    Funny, this is sort of like the way the Bush administration bent over, grabbed its collective ankles, and said “have your way with me” to the lobbyists in the K Street project headed by Abramoff and Scanlon. I believe that would be even less that 2% of the US population.


  38. kasinca Says:

    Who was bending over in all the Jeff Gannon visits to the Bush Crime Family headquarters?


  39. Zooey Says:

    Musk,

    Fantastic. :-D


  40. Dr. Hussein Matt Says:

    Reich-wingers will bend over and grab their ankles in airport bathrooms.


  41. Max-1 Says:

    .

    That BIGOT Limbaugh should be OFF THE AIR.

    He is ten times worse than Imus.
    He’s brainwashed far too many people in this Nation.

    He is NOT an entertainer when his freedom to express himself crosses over in the public’s eye as informative and insightful intellectualism… IT IS NOT!

  42. pete Says:

    Thanx for the link, Musk. I recall hearing about it, but, had not seen it.

  44. Hussein McCain Says:

    Rush, you are so sexy. Grab your ankles, I want to own every square inch of your glistening backside. Those kooky blacks and gays have to settle for democrats, but I’ll take nothing less than your oily bacon. Pie in the sky, Rush!

    What an unbelievable desperate little man. Once the Baby Boomers die off, there will be no place in a world of human beings for this type of pig . . . a pig that needs to be, well, whatever it is that is done with pigs.


  47. Hussein McCain Says:

    scytherius, as a baby boomer I resemble that remark. Maybe you meant baby bombers.


  48. pete Says:

    Off topic.

    According to local radio, McCain’s lead in his home state of Arizona is within the margin of error in the latest poll.

    Ouch!


  49. Hussein McCain Says:

    Rush, you are a farce to be reckoned with.


  50. pete Says:

    Um. I think that Lush’s demographic is a little older than most baby boomers. Though there’s plenty of idiots from all age groups.


  51. Hussein McCain Says:

    Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Sometimes it’s a megadildo, Rush.

    DUUUUDE! You bravely go where NO ONE follows. Don’t forget the clorox.


  53. Gregor Samsa Says:

    Limbaugh is understandably upset: He is repulsed by the idea of men bending over for other men outside the privacy of their own international airport bathroom stall.


  54. Hussein McCain Says:

    Marlow, some might call me brave. Some might just call me a rolex hunter.


  55. Robt Says:

    Limp-paw’a ratings must really be in the tank.

    Le Rushbo is entering Imus territory.

    You notice Beck, Rush, Hannity, Borts, O Rielly and the likes are all screaming for attention. By saying anything and everything?

    Not sure if it is a good move for them. I know I amnot interested in investing time or money into them.


  56. LibertyLover Says:

    George Carlin was just here a minute ago…

    but this buffoon continues to hang around and stink up the place. What a world.


  57. Keith Says:

    Limbaugh has always been worse than Imus. Remember, he told one black caller to take the bone out of his nose.

    70% oppose this war. That is not a “fringe”.

    I also resemble and resent the boomer remark.


  58. Max-1 Says:

    FISA votes come tomorrow in the Senate

    Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) filed a cloture motion on H.R. 6304, the FISA Amendments Act, which means votes should take place Wednesday. A leading opponent of the measure, Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) says he will not attempt a filibuster but instead settle for highlighting what he sees as the bill’s flaw. Speaker Pelosi, who voted for the bill last week, says an extended debate would be a good thing.

    The anger and anguish of the privacy absolutists/anti-Bush activists continues to flow, focusing on provisions that would, in effect, grant immunity to the telecom companies that assisted in post 9/11 surveillance of foreign-based communications. A federal district court will determine if the telecoms acted on instructions from the Administration, and — assuming so — then dismiss the more than 40 lawsuits filed against the companies.

    Salon’s Glenn Greenwald, a lawyer, is the go-to guy for the opponents of the bill; his commentary is here. And there’s a lot of this kind of sentiment, expressed at the Progressive Magazine: “Barack Obama’s rightward sprint is nowhere more obvious than in his betrayal on the FISA bill.”

    Perhaps there is a position Rush can assume in Pork Chop’s clos… oops, I mean cabinet


  62. nofltwlt Says:

    Rush is out of the closet. We now know what he thinks about. I always wondered about that big cigar.


  63. Jamit Says:

    A guy that takes 24 Viagra pills on a golf vacation with 3 “buddies” should never take about grabbing your ankles.


  64. Bluegene Says:

    Karl Rove and Rush Limbaugh are responsible for poisoning political dialogue and debate in the U.S.. They are a far greater threat to the United States than any cave dwelling terrorist. Poetic justice would have them sharing a prison cell. Which one would be bending over and grabbing their ankles in this scenario?


  65. valawstudent Says:

    And so Imus’s statement gets more press than Rush? WTF?


  66. upside99 Says:

    Is the rusher the ‘official spokesperson for the 23%ers’ now?

    Must make you proud, Limpballs!


  67. Cats r Flyfishn Says:

    If this is the man that McCain says Republics respect, then that explains why these “Rusholinis” are so stupid and ill informed.

    And btw, Rush knows a lot about “bending over and taking”.


  68. misshusseinmolly Says:

    While I don’t think I would ever have described political pandering quite the way Rush has, I am rather amazed at his chutzpah.

    It’s true that African-Americans tend to vote for Democrats more than Republicans, and gay Americans probably also vote for the Dems in larger numbers (Log Cabin Reps notwithstanding). But what has the Democratic Party really done for these groups lately? The best they can say is that they aren’t actively screwing them over, as the GOP does, which is why they can still count on their votes.

    The Republican Party, on the other hand, has danced to the tune of the evangelicals to the point where it has affected Supreme Court decisions. How can Limbaugh even suggest that the GOP has abandoned the Christian right with a straight face?

    I suspect that part of the perception is that abortion, prayer in schools, gay marriage, affirmative action, and other issues critical to these groups haven’t really made it to the list this election cycle — they’ve been pushed aside by the economy, our various wars, the health care crisis, and even global warming. But I look for some of these to be used as wedge issues by the right between now and November.

    The only real “bending over and taking” that I’m seeing is from BOTH parties when it comes to Israel. But that’s another thread.


  69. MrSquirrel Says:

    Oh, those kooky blacks! I bet they’re just being black to annoy good upstanding citizens like Rush.

    And those kooky gays! and kooky libruls! And those gay black libruls…. them’s the kookiest of all!


  70. DRxJ Says:

    WOW!
    Hey, maybe Rushboy didn’t need help after all on vacation. It seems he only needed one Viagra tablet to help the young boy from the Dominican Republic lessen his refractory time.

    Oh, and where’s Parodyll???


  71. Cats r Flyfishn Says:

    After watching the youtube, I can understand why Rush in on the radio and not in front of a live audience. He can’t handle the truth.


  72. upside99 Says:

    DRxJ Says:

    Oh, and where’s Parodyll???

    He will be along shortly. He is listening to the rusher’s broadcast for the 18th time, has him mesmerized.

    Regrettably this man proves Lincoln right. You can, indeed, fool some of the people all of the time (23% anyone?). There is none so blind as he who will not see.
    Impeach Pelosi, Cheney and Bush and Save the Constitution!


  75. GSD Says:

    Well, in Rush’s own words, just harmless frat pranks.

  76. Xisithrus Says:

    Rush is saying its good that the GOP says screw you?

    Lmao, the echo chamber is shattered.

    SO?


  77. Xisithrus Says:

    What part of “elected representative” does Lush not understand?


  78. Xisithrus Says:

    Glenn Murphy Jr. had a top spot in local Republican politics and was making a name for himself as president of the Young Republicans National Federation. But after a Young Republicans get-together last July, a young man claimed Murphy made a bold sexual advance on him.

    Police reports said Murphy shared a bunk bed with his victim, a 22-year-old who had had too much to drink, and the next morning the victim said he awoke to find Murphy performing a sex act on him. The victim said he told Murphy to stop and pushed him away.

    A GOPer will get you drunk, wait till you fall asleep and then molest you.

    Work hard on that one?


  83. Castelcomerkid Says:

    I recall something a person I worked for 55 years ago told me when I was ticked off at her and pointed a finger in her direction. It certainly applies to this disgusting gasbag of manure. She said “Remember, when you point a finger at someone else there are three fingers pointing back at you.” (try it you will see it is true)So Russy what you are saying applies three times over to you. Your back is out of joint because you are bent over more often than not. Not even a pig would wallow in the crap that you and your listeners, who are dumber than you, swim in constantly.


  84. Mr.NiceGuy Says:

    Media Matters are such whiners. Always complaining about some nonsense. Who cares what Rush says on his own show. He’s always been this way, 20 years now. He obviously isn’t going anywhere. Don’t like it? Don’t listen. Simple. Its not for you or MMFA to decide what should or shouldn’t be said on the radio. Free speech will never be controlled by mini stalinist commissars at MMFA.


  85. MapleStreet Says:

    As opposed to kooks ascribing world disasters to Gay Pride parades ?


  86. Leftside Annie Says:

    So, MNG, racism is perfectly ok as long as it’s Rush?

    I see.

    Well, not really, but I guess it works if you’re stupid.


  87. Mr.NiceGuy Says:

    Annie, I’m not sure that you understand what racism is. Even if it were racist, which it obviously isn’t, racism is not illegal. I don’t condone racism of course, but the point is that you have a choice to not listen if you think it is racist or in bad taste, whatever. However, you don’t (nor does MMFA) have the right to silence speech that you disagree with. That’s the whole point of the 1st amendment.


  88. republicanSScareme Says:

    If Rush Limbaugh didn’t have a company of bodyguards, he’d be hanging from a telephone pole.


  89. Mr.NiceGuy Says:

    So, repuclianSScareme you’re physically threatening Rush? Are you really sure you want to do that? because you should know that making threats is illegal and you could be held accountable. Is this the sort of tolerance we can expect from “the left” or would others want to disavow such a comment?


  90. lm945 Says:

    “Limbaugh complained that these “kooks” have too much influence on the left.”

    As opposed to the “kooks” on the right: Halliburton, BlackWater, Exxon/Mobil, the telecoms…


  91. Mr.NiceGuy Says:

    J-
    Yea I must admit that was a weird case. Jose did have his due process, though delayed indeed. I don’t agree with the Govt on that one although I’d like to think that they held him because they suspected there were other dirty-bomb plots that he knew about. Clearly it wasn’t a perfect situation but in the end he was tried and convicted. Iirc, that was the case where the court actually affirmed that the President could indeed legally declare US citizens enemy combatants provided that they could challenge that status. Weird case though. I’m not sure who won there. Seems like everyone lost.


  92. Mr.NiceGuy Says:

    whoops wrong forum. :/


  93. barfly Says:

    Is this the sort of tolerance we can expect from “the left” or would others want to disavow such a comment?

    Like Rush would says, its simply for entertainment purposes. Your fake outrage is funny.


  94. Robt Says:

    I would just like to remind people that the tough talk of Rush Limbaugh from behind the microphone. Is the whimpering half a man that cried, “I have an oowee on my butt” to get out of serving his country’s military during a time of need.

    Face to face, without his drugs, not leaving his gated community without body guards, not even viagra could make his right hand believe he is a man.

    This is your Rush, the conservative super hero….

    Flies private airways with four other men to an island known for boy prostitution. Is busted with bottle of viagra. What does four males do together on vacation on an island with only themselves and viagra?


  95. WesleyJI Says:

    Rush Limbaugh is a pimp. Period


  96. WesleyJI Says:

    Limbaugh is a funny guy who speaks a lot of truth. He doesn’t like McCain at all thouh, and i disagree with that. McCain is the best candidate for president no doubt. But Rush always talks bad about him, so i do disagree with Rush sometimes. But most of the time, he speaks the truth. Go Rush, keep it coming!
