TOM KLUDT FEBRUARY 11, 2014, 3:22 PM EST
More than 12 meandering minutes later, it's still difficult to make sense of what Rush Limbaugh was trying to say about Michael Sam on Tuesday.
Limbaugh spent the first seven minutes of a largely incoherent monologue focusing on the media's treatment of Sam, the All-American defensive end who could well be the NFL's first openly gay player. "This is going to be a totally media-driven story," Limbaugh declared. "Totally." But things turned strange shortly after the seven-minute mark of Limbaugh's rant.
"Why is homosexuality political?" Limbaugh asked, without a shred of irony. "Why is there a political aspect to or agenda associated with homosexuality?" Moreover, who's looking out for straight guys like Limbaugh, who have "no activists" looking out for them.
"Heteros--you say heterosexuality may be 95, 98 percent of the population -- they're under assault by the two to five percent that are homosexual," Limbaugh said. "So why -- I'm just asking, I'm just throwing it out there -- why is there a political agenda attached to and driven by homosexuality and there is no corresponding heterosexual agenda?"

(14,449 posts)I mean seriously. Have you guys ever noticed that the ones most afraid of "the gays" are the most ugliest people on the planet. They often feel like they are going to be "hit on" or attacked by "the gays". I find it so hilarious. I am one of those "the gays" and I know for a fact that if Rush was the last man on Earth, he would be SAFE....lol.
I've noticed that commonality with them too.
ugly on inside too.

(154,021 posts)I gotta wonder if Rush is ...
1.- a victim of bullying as a child, and therefore became a bully as an adult. It does happen
2.- Yes, I will go there, a closet gay. They tend to be the most vicious, trying to suppress their own reality.

(19,926 posts)It's heteros like him that have the agenda, the agenda to limit homosexuals' rights and keep them from living lives that heteros can live just because they are hetero. And whatever he thinks the gay political agenda is, why is it that a whole lot of heteros are fighting for it as well?
And who is under assault? Not heteros, that's for sure.
Opposite world.

(65,616 posts)Obviously the RW 1% cranks that love him, tried to get him a cushy spot in sports announcing - that was when they finally got to hear his unfiltered racist word salad. Why should anyone be surprised about what he says after that? Failsauce always fails.
I suspect Rush to be going the way of the Dodo bird.

"Gay Olympians and fans have nothing to worry about but added: "Please do not touch kids. Thats the only thing." Russia Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak
Now, don't go telling nobody, but I have a copy of the Gay Agenda! It isn't the 1% you should fear, but us "2%"!
