Can someone fill me in on Rush = pedophile?
It's just a little hard to believe because he looks like he would hate kids so much - like the only use he would have for kids is working in his coal mine. Now Hannity, he looks like the guy on the poster warning kids not to get in a car with a stranger.

1. Theres only anecdotal data tbh
But, he was caught by authorities re-entering the US with a bunch of viagra after vacationing in the Dominican Republic, where you can get underage sex easily. Its kind of the Thailand of the Carribean.

2. I prefer the term "child molester"
The accusations of pedophilia are unjust, because pedophilia is a mental condition requiring psychiatric help. The truth is we don't know how many children Rush molested in his trip to the child sex haven of the Dominican Republic, we can only speculate:

3. I have no idea either, but I notice that Rush has yet to officially deny these rumors
Reminds me of this quote in the movie "Blue Chips" (starring Nick Nolte and Ed O'Neil)

"How long are you gonna keep this bullshit up,Ed? Huh? You know goddamn well there was no such incident. There was an alleged incident which you invented. In the same way that if I assert that you sleep with sheep, then it is alleged that you sleep with sheep."

4. Some People say there's a definite connection!
Now, I'm not saying that I have any proof or evidence of such (beyond, of course, the old Dominican Republic/carload of Viagra incident).

However, Some People say that there's a linkage of some kind.

And where there's smoke . . .

5. No matter if it's true or not
This country is awash in important issues at in our history, and wasting time talking about there idiots is counterproductive. I know that there has to be humor here or we would all be crying 24-7, but get a grip. I don't care what these idiots do privately, as disgusting as it might be. The issue should be what about the lies and distortions they spread from their lofty positions in the media.

6. Good point, but...
if some of Rush's fans knew he was porking girls the age of their daughters, they might be a little turned off

10. Or they

8. Psssst...
Some people with a sense of humor,

or maybe they're on crack,

must've started a vicious rumor,

to get a rush paying Limbaugh back.

- old nursery rhyme

9. As a matter of face, if Rush Limbaugh is molesting children, I hope he's caught
and put in jail. I'm serious. I don't think it's ok and it's not his private business. If he's doing this, he's ruining people's lives. Children's lives.

7. I don't know but some people say that Rush Limbaugh is a hardcore junkie pedophile.
I'm not saying this, necessarily, but some people say it.

11. Let me be clear
If he is then he should be put away like any other pedophile. The thin is that when you state something, then add, "some people are saying" that is the very thing that we get so angered by when the rethugs do it. I know they do it all the time, but should we descend into that slimy world?

15. yes--whatever works
in case you didn't notice, the right wing declared war on "liberals" a couple of decades ago.
playing "nice" just doesn't cut it in war.

12. IIRC, one of his ex-wives made a comment to that effect.




You do the googling, but I have heard it more than once.

14. So, what you're saying is that Rush is a pill-popping child molester?
Series????
