Rush Limbaugh is not Gay, so quit saying that he is!

[trumad]

I'm so sick of members here at DU implying that Rush is Gay, and using the Gay insinuation like it's a weapon of destruction.

Look, trust me, trust a guy who's been on DU for what seems to be eternity, Rush is not Gay. How do I know? I can't tell you...

Sorry...

[Cooley Hurd]

1. But, what about the Jeff Christie rumors?

:shrug:

[trumad]

3. Rumors...

thst's a hell of a word.

[Cooley Hurd]

But, wasn't there some sort of an arrest record...

...in which Christie was busted for solicitation of a male prostitute? :shrug:

(not that I'm doubting your word - after all you are trumad... ;))

[trumad]

14. No arrest record.

[Cooley Hurd]

17. That's the last time I listen to "rumors" then...

Out to the trash for you, my vinyl friend...:D

[B3Nut]

24. Oooooo

Great record!

Got that one on vinyl too...good songs on that one.

42. Rock on , gold dust woman!

[dave123williams]

2. Not gay, but loves it when people poop on him.

[tinanator]

8. what an awesome moment in the history of stand up

RIP Bill.

[dave123williams]

26. It still makes me chuckle....RIP Bill :)

We were robbed of Hick's light too early, I think.

[tinanator]

33. always thus with Messiahs

he was the second coming.

[dave123williams]

54. I think it's really too bad that more people haven't heard him..he was..

...a total prophet of the truth. Sometimes, when I put on 'Dangerous' or another of his rants, it's really scary how clearly he could see what was coming down the pike...

[MrScorpio]

4. I'm with you, Man

Fuck that "Rush is gay" shit.

It doesn't play.

What does play is that he's a evil bloated, drug-addicted, hypocritical, lying reprobate with delusions of grandeur.

The gay accusation is uncalled for.

[tinanator]

7. who is jeff christie?

eh?

[MrScorpio]

15. Look, my point is this...

Who gives a fuck?

If Rush sucked a cock or two in his past, mo' power to him.

I really don't care if he's been a bareback bottom in his past life.

What I do care is that he is currently a reprehensible piece of whaleshit spouting a constant river of bile on the airways.

If "Jeff" was some guys' bitch way back in the day, what does that have to do with the pill-popper in question?

[trumad]

16. Well... If fellow DUers keep saying he's gay when he's not

then in my mind thats homophobic behavior.

[MrScorpio]

18. Bingo, my man

Rush has enough faults at hand that we don't need to fall into that trap.

[tinanator]

34. quite a point

but I think its worth puzzling over the predominance of gay men in the reich.

[UdoKier]

53. In your own words, "If you're bi, you're gay"

So how the hell do you know he's not bi, and thus by your logic, gay?


Besides, who are you, the ACLU, defending ANYBODY, even the KKK? Of all the people in this country who deserve to go down in flames and blood and entrails (figuratively of course), Rush is fucking #1.

He is an evil, evil, filthy little man.

[Misunderestimator]

61. He's not defending Rush, he's defending gays...

seems obvious to me... the point being that using this "gay" accusation against everyone, without any evidence (unlike having websites selling oneself as a gay escort...), is denegrating to gay people and is turning the word into an insult.

[UdoKier]

63. Yeah, I get that.

He also insulted bisexuals by implying that they are inherently dishonest about their sexual preference. But I digress, I don't think gay should be an insult. But gay-bashers who happen to be closet gays should be outed.

Beats me if the junkie Limbaugh is gay, but I don't mind the gossip. It's just one more thing on the HUGE pile of evidence of his hypocrisy.

[Misunderestimator]

65. Well, the bisexual thing is another matter... in fact, it was another...

thread entirely, many days ago. I completely agree with you that hypocritical gays should be outed, but in this case, and I know why trumad knows Rush is not gay... it is just being used as a weapon, and I'm not comfortable with the indiscretion with which that particular weapon has been used these past few days.

Let's put real evidence in the huge pile of evidence, not rumors... it doesn't help the cause of exposing truth, and it doesn't help us. The Gannon scandal, on the other hand, is an entirely different matter, with mounting evidence of involvement in gay pornography and prostitution... in that case, "gay" belongs on the pile. Otherwise, it just begins to look like "gay" is just so much trash that ends up on every garbage heap.

[trumad]

69. But is he Gay?

Are you? If not, prove it.

[UdoKier]

79. I don't care if anyone thinks I'm gay

except maybe my wife...


And I don't demonize gays and all liberals on a daily basis on a propaganda radio broadcast.

I think Limbaugh should prove he never was arrested back in Jeff Christie days.

You say you have reason to be sure, but you can't be sure he never dallied, and according you your logic, anybody who has EVER done something with a person of the same sex is GAY, period. By your logic, I would be gay, and so would probably Limbaugh (and certainly more than just 5% of the population). Stick by your previous statement. If Limbaugh even so much as had a mutual handjob with a buddy as a 14-year old, HE'S GAY.

[Cannikin]

66. Amen.

[suziedemocrat]

20. It's the hypocrisy --- stupid!!!

I don't care who is gay or straight. But I do like to catch people in their hypocrisies!!! Whether it is a radio host saying we should be tough on crime, while he is a illegally purchasing gobs of prescription drugs. Or a black secretary of state doing everything he can to suppress the black vote. Or a fake journalist who advertised himself as a gay escort writing anti-gay columns. I think the main message is that the GOP is full of hypocrites who think "getting caught" is the crime, and homosexuality is fine as long as you stay in the closet.

[trumad]

23. Fine and I agree 100 percent with your point.

and if Rush annouced tomorrow that he was Gay, then go after him. But he hasn't and he's not Gay so therefore there's no hypocrisy on his part on this issue.

[suziedemocrat]

49. I think people are "fishing" for closeted GOP gays right now.

I haven't seen the posts about Rush, so I am not as aware as you are of these charges. But - I think people are on a kick right now to out GOP gays -- which I don't think is all that bad really. Maybe they are getting carried away and that is a bad thing. We have to be careful to not give the people who call us all "tin-foil hat" conspiracy nuts more ammunition. Or maybe those posts are made by "freepers" to discredit DU.

However, I don't think we should let up on uncovering GOP lies and hypocrisies.

[jdj]

56. that's because there are so many, and the gay libs who

know them are tired of covering for them while getting screwed, not literally, by them.

And Rush is as big a flamer as they come, I don't care how Trumad says he knows. Even if Trumad really is Rush, which is the only way he could REALLY know, I'd still say Rush is gay and not out to himself.

Of all the people to go to bat for, this is one of the stupidest.

[yella_dawg]

40. Scatmuncher

Don't forget scatmuncher in your diatribe.


Thanks Bill. RIP

[norml]

5. Sorry, you're going to have to tell us how you know?

Or at least tell us why we should take your word on this?

[trumad]

9. Because I am fucking trumad

teller of all truths.

[norml]

12. That may be, but still I'd like to know

from what you draw your conclusion.

[shadowknows69]

35. well I'm The Shadow

and I know what lurks in the hearts of men. GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[shadowknows69]

38. disclaimer

Although I do know the hearts of men I really don't have any clue about Mr. Limbaugh's sexual preference because I have never given (or taken) a big enough shit to bother to cast my all-knowing gaze his way. I do think he's a dork though and that's just a personal observation.

[jdj]

57. you're fucking yourself?

[Misunderestimator]

28. I know as well....

because I know trumad personally, and I know what he knows (about this)... Usually information that can somehow trace back to you, you would not want to broadcast on a public forum, at least I wouldn't... so I assume he would only tell friends.

[bryant69]

6. I agree

These accusations are not going anywhere really, and they make us look vaguely homophobic. Plus it's not like there aren't Plenty of thinks to slam Rush on without making stuff up.

[Edgewater_Joe]

10. Well ... He Could Be "Bi."

Or as Jon Steward said, "If you're on top, you're not gay."

Come ON! Any good, salacious rumors about Rushbo (and didn't Malloy insinuate in the last week or two that there's some Bill Bennett-esque rumors about Rush's predilictions?) are good.

At least they keep our spirits up, and God knows we need that.

[Ian David]

11. Yeah, calling Rush gay is unfair to the gay people.

[jdj]

58. Load of baloney. Most gays want conservative gays outed.

They are doing serious damage to us while banking GOP money.

Fuck them, and their hot military studs.

Out everyone of them, Rush included.

[Ian David]

67. I agree. But we need to do more

We need to actively seek to entrap and expose them.

In both gay AND straight sex.

[liberalmuse]

13. I agree...

but can understand why people here might think that. However, I believe he's just an ugly, fat (and yes, he is still porcine), pompous windbag, and add, misogynist, POS, milquetoast to that as well. It just seems some of the most homophobic, gay persecuting, hypocritical, bigotted, self-loathing a-holes in recent history have been tightly closeted gays. And I do not mean to besmirch gays in that last sentence. There are plenty of people of many other persuasions who eat their own, a trait I despise.

(Sorry, I feel like abusing adjectives this morning).

[tsuki]

19. Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat, chicken hawk of a coward

who spends his days in a drug induced alternate reality where he can irrationally believe he is John Wayne.

How's that? :evilgrin:

[Magrittes Pipe]

21. I can almost always recognize Black people when I meet them in person.

I think I have "Black-dar."

[arwalden]

45. Is There Such A Thing As Jewdar? Or Christdar? Or Atheidar?

[RBHam]

22. Limbaugh - Gannon collusion?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3135546

[Misunderestimator]

25. Rish Limbaugh is a misogynistic womanizer... I have on good authority

and pssst.... Trumad would know... AND... Apparently, though this I find harder to believe, the scat-boy is not a "bad guy" off the radio... all that doesn't change the fact that he's an asshole of the highest echelon of assholes. :)

Hiya, trumad... :hi:

[trumad]

27. Thanks Misunderestimator

My fellow DUers, I tell the wonderful Misunderestimator everything because I trust her 100 percent. She know's what I be talking about.

[RBHam]

29. Misogynistic womanizing is often a cover...

See "Dodgeball"?

[trumad]

30. Really... then I must be Gay.

[RBHam]

37. Just sayin'...

"Dodgeball" isn't an "authoritative voice" on anything...

[ozarklib]

39. "Misogynistic womanizing is often a cover..."

And often a misogynistic womanizer is simply a misogynistic womanizer. It is an appealing power position for right-wing thugs.

[jdj]

60. oh, but why?

whom do they really love?

wake up and smell the k-y jelly.

[ultraist]

77. Do you think there are more hetero male misogynists or

more homosexual male misogynists? Keep in mind, that hating women is about power, not sex.

[NewJeffCT]

31. I never said that Rush was gay, but SOME people say...

Just kidding... I don't really care that he's gay on than the hypocrisy angle.

[bunkerbuster1]

36. He's certainly not into GAY SEX. Rush and GAY SEX shouldn't be linked

any more often than a dozen or so times per day.

[Fleshdancer]

41. I respect the gay community too much to say Rush is gay n/t

[jdj]

59. That philosphy is killing our party.

If you liberal folks really believe, as you say you do, that homosexuality is genetic, then you should be able to understand that it exists irrespective of politics. It was there first. Many gay men have to be conservative to reconcile this culture's hatred of gays with their own self-image.

We are trying to help these POSs so quit hurting them and us by pretending that all or most gay people are political liberals.

Gannon just opened a huge window into this world of conservative gay fetishim of war and militarism, so don't let this message and this political tool get lost in muck of naive political correctness.

[ultraist]

78. Yes, there are gay conservatives

But aren't the large majority of gays are liberals?

[Neverarepublican]

43. No he is not gay,

he's just a big fat asshole.

[burn the bush]

44. what about the guy who says he had a fling with Rush in college?

I don't understand how you can KNOW someone is not gay. People find out their husbands are gay after years of marriage. How can you know? Even if you know he is a womanizer that doesn't mean he doesn't do other things. I am beginning to think that the right wing "gayness" is more of a power thing than a gay thing.

[suziedemocrat]

50. Good Point. n/t

[trumad]

51. What about that guy? I can say I had a gay affair with you last week.

did I... no.. but words are cheap.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

46. Homosexuality should never be used as a weapon.

Otherwise we're just promoting the hatred against it that we are supposed to be fighting against.

The important thing about Gannon is that he somehow got a press pass and he just happened to be the guy that asked super easy questions.

The important thing about Rush is that he is a liar, a racist, a sexist, and homophobic. If he's involved in illegal activity, that is what we should focus on. Not his sexual life.

[ultraist]

76. Well said!

I think the hunts for gays in the Repuke party is getting out of hand, how many threads and posts like this do we need: 'Queer like W' 'Whose Gannon's boyfriend in the WH', 'Rove is gay' "Rush is gay' etc. That's using homosexuality as a weapon.

People are also making remarks that incinuate gay sex is disgusting: 'ack' 'too much information' 'bad visual' etc.

We need to get a grip. We do not want to appear to be part of the hateful witch hunt against gays.

The FACT is, the LARGE MAJORITY of misogynists are heterosexual males who feel threatened by the power of women. They are the real oppressors of women, not homosexual males. The majority of homosexual males are liberals, not conservative oppressors.

The real focus should be on WHO in the WH hired Gannon? It wasn't Scott M, he was there before Scott.

[kweerwolf]

47. I sure hope Rush isn't a weinie-chugger!

After all, my people have had to claim Roy Cohn and "Jane" Edgar Hoover. Having to claim Rush as a member of the tribe would send me to the next fundie "ex-gay" bootcamp and force me to burn my Pet Shop Boys CDs!

[Coventina]

48. "Rush is not gay----so stop saying that!"

You were trying to be funny, right?

[trumad]

52. dead serious

[shadowknows69]

55. it was good for a laugh anyway

[Javaman]

62. Rush is gay

Sometimes I like poking the tiger with a stick.

[ret5hd]

64. maybe he turned you down cause he was busy...

:evilgrin: just sayin' :evilgrin:

[LittleClarkie]

68. Sort of like labeling the Columbine kids "Trenchcoat Mafia"

and the "Trenchcoat Mafia" kids saying "Hey, man, don't try to lump them in with us. They may have dressed the same, but they weren't with us."

Sorta...

[Zinfandel]

70. The pigman Limbaugh is absolutely gay, he loves the hard stiff ones!

What can I say, it's true...nothing wrong with it, so what's your problem dude?

And what the fuck does it mean, "trust you" because you've posted on DU for a while? So have I---since Feb or March of 01 doesn't mean shit, doesn't mean any more, than someone who put up their first post on DU today!

[trumad]

73. Well then you must have re-uped

because your profile shows you a member since Jan 29th 2004. But really, I could care less if you believe me. I do know that the DUers who know me personally and who I have told how I know what I know about Rush, are laughing at your silly ass post.

[BigBearJohn]

71. WTF! You suck ONE dick and they call you a cocksucker!

No one is using GAY as a weapon... they are using HYPOCRICY as weapon.

[Binka]

72. This Tread Confuses Me

There seems to be deep dark satire going on and fucks weighing in because they are lost. I am just confused because it is not funny and the serious shit seems too weird.

So this thread just falls into the farked off zone for me. I am checking out for now. Damn Fuckwittage.

[ken-in-seattle]

74. of course it confuses you, it is supposed to.

As a Liberal thinking human being I do not care one bit whether Rush is a sodomite or even a third beer queer.

The humor is in the horrified and confused responses from those who think there is something wrong with being gay. The Repubs and closet christofascist just have to come out to defend him. Those who suggest in this forum that Rush is a knob gobbler and enjoys his repeated insertions, are doing nothing different than Rush does to someone or some group every day on his show.

Demonization.

Is it a tactic we should adopt in the wider debate? No. But there is no debate in the Limbauger world there is only demonization and ridicule using false statistics, rumors and planted slant in the vast game of telegraph that is the right wing spin butt trumpet.

So. I don't mind this thread and I enjoy your confusion. Maybe it will make you think.

[98geoduck]

75. he's a sadist through and through...wip me beat me!
