"Here Come the Rape Police." Limbaugh Reacts to Trump's Sex Talk Scandal

What Trump said was not only offensive, but it was describing what is known as sexual assault. Yes if the women is willing it isnt sexual assault, but Trump didnt differentiate between the two. He made it clear thats what he does with all women that turns him on. Even married women are not respected. He goes after them like a bitch too. Trump is pond scum.

And if you are not part of the problem with this so called rape culture then dont get all upset just assert that you are not. If you cannot debate without resorting to such behavior then you probably should find a new hobby. I barely even said anything to you and you freaked out, it was weird. Having a bad day?

An accusation like that is about as horrible of an insult that can be made. Retract it.
 
Something said by Rush Limbaugh is now "Breaking News Main Stream Media". Terrific.

Is this rock bottom? God I hope so...:3oops:

Unfortunealty I do not have as much hope as you. They will go lower. I am not sure how but I am sure they will
 
The funny thing is, what he said, in those quotes, is 100% true. If there is consent, everything is fine. The crazy part is that he's equating conservatism with the promoters of non-consensual sex. Which is where the idiocy comes in.

That is a good point. I do actually with everything Rush said there. Although I don't think consent is a "left" or "liberal" ideal. I thought it United States and to a large extent World law/beliefs. For Rush, I believe what I got told in another thread is "he is just human".

Look its simple, you admitted, or hell you asserted that what Trump said isnt describing sexual assault. Which means that you are ok with people touching women inappropriately if they think they can get away with it. That my friend is advocating sexual assault. So dont act all but hurt like I highly offended you/insulted you. All I have done is state the obvious facts of the matter. And if you cannot figure out how bad it is (what Trump said) then indeed you are part of the problem. Trump made it clear that he believes he is in a position where he can force himself onto women without their consent. He thinks being a celebrity comes with that perk. Perhaps there are some gold diggers that oblige him but that doesnt make it ok for the rest of his victims.

What Trump described doesnt explain a mutual decision (if it did) Trump wouldnt have been unable to get anywhere with that married women he was talking about in that video. What Trump is saying is that he moves in fast (hence describing his actions as "bitch") he moved in like a bitch he said. There is nothing indicating mutual interest in kissing touching or whatever. Trump asserted that he does it and doesnt even wait. What he implied is that he doesnt wait for consent. He just goes for it and if it works then the Donald scores if not then he gets slapped and he moves on. My guess is that any woman that ever thought about bringing charges against him was intimidated by Trump in some fashion.

What I said was that what Trump said does not prove sexual assault due to an unknown variable... context. You have not shown the ability to be able to differentiate. Once I realized that earlier today I was less offended than before. It is OK. I have moved on.

Odd.... I dont remember ever saying that it proved sexual assault. Must be why that was never my point.

They were absolutely intimidated. The reporter discussed the event with her peers, and was told basically that Trump could and would ruin her life if she went public. The poor little receptionist who worked in his building was also told by her family that if she disclosed it, Trump would probably sue her and the legal fees would bankrupt them all. Considering I heard on one of the cable news channel discussions that he has filed over 20,000 lawsuits, none of his victims would have ever even thought about reporting his behavior. If not for that tape bragging about things he had already done to them then denying it during the debate I'm fairly certain none of them would ever have come forward at all.

It is OK. I advocate sexual assault. Good job.
 
"Here Come the Rape Police." Limbaugh Reacts to Trump's Sex Talk Scandal

Don't put words in my mouth. I never said any such thing and prior to this I have said, that your relationship with your wife and girlfriends was different from context of Trump where he's caught on tape. The context provided in that tape, that of a man preparing to work with a woman, is not the same as you being in a dating situation. He prepared to just kiss her. In a professional situation, or that as the owner of the pageant, is not a dating situation.

Locker room talk, huh? Bragging doesn't make it untrue either.

Yes, they are very clear. You are inventing a requirement that he needs to say he continues to kiss them. He could have added that, but he didn't.

I didn't say he did kiss her. I'm saying that he provided a context. There was a beautiful woman so he was popping tic tacs "in case" he wanted to kiss her. This is his mindset. He said he just kisses them and he was getting prepared in case he wanted to kiss this one. Words have meaning. You're trying very hard to ignore them.

Where does he say he got their permission? He doesn't he says he just does it.

No you did not clearly prove your case in any way. You had to invent a context which does not exist in his comments (that of a man to his wife and girlfriends). You also created this weird requirement that his words alone would convict him. No, of course not because there needs to be someone accusing him of the actions. There are now.

And it was a fair question, asked three times of Trump, did he do the things he himself alleged on the tape. He said no and since then, multiple women have then come forward to say he did. He was caught saying it, he needed to answer for it.

As an added note, i think it is absolutely disgusting that Trump pre-meditated freshening his breath, that planning was somehow justified, but still couldn't be bothered to acquire consent.

My takeaway from that is that Trump would rather avoid having bad breath than committing sexual assault.

It seems obvious that he places little to no value on the idea that women should have freedom over their own bodies.

Yeah, what ??? Why would he willingly align conservatism against consent ...?
 
My actual point was never about you. When I mentioned that you are part of the problem, that was a side not.

Irrelevant... once you cross the line. *shrugs*

Dont worry. Im just some guy on the internet.

WHAT IS SEXUAL ASSAULT?
Sexual assault is any unwanted sexual contact, including unwanted intercourse (rape), unwanted touching, and unwanted kissing. It is a crime of violence, power and control in which sex is used as the weapon. Sexual assault can take the form of rape, child molestation, incest or sexual harassment.

The problem with what Trump said is that he was asserting that he kisses and fondles women before they have a chance to give explicit consent. He thinks his celebrity status gives him the right to walk up to women kiss and fondle them and that they will automatically consent because he is the Donald. Its clear as day that Trump was describing sexual assault. He said that he cant resist beautiful that just walks up and starts kissing them. That alone is a admission of guilt. You cannot just walk up to women at start kissing them. Sure you might find some kissing back but some will not. Its those that do not want to be kissed by the Donald that matter.

I provided context that perhaps changes his statement. You refuse to acknowledge how i in fact can change the meaning. You need to learn to think... outside the box.

No what you did is tried to make a excuse for Trump. Trump made no attempt to defend himself other than brushing it off as man talk. Yet you spent time to try and defend him?

I am not defending Trump... I am talking about words and what they mean. It could have been anybody that said it. Trump is scum. If you can't disassociate yourself from your dislike of a person then I can see your problem. Anyway... you insist I am part of the problem regarding sexual assault and that makes you look like a completely uneducated fool.

Of course you dont feel that you are part of the problem. That is because you do not understand what Trump said and the context of what he said. That doesnt mean that you somehow like Trump or that you advocate sexual assault. I am sure that you are obviously against sexual assault. What caused me to say that you are part of the problem is that you do not understand the significance of what Trump said. You searched out a circumstance that in your mind made those words benign. Thats great and all but it has zero to do with Trump. So sure I concede that your little example is right but has nothing to do with reality. You win the pointless semantics argument that you are peddling. The problem is that you cannot your example with Trump. You have no evidence that says that its possible that is what he meant. Why didnt Trump just say thats what he meant? Why the locker room excuse?

In this reality that we are in right now what Trump described is very unacceptable behavior. In most cases it can be considered sexual assault. Considering that yes I think Trump is a idiot, I wont be giving him the benefit of doubt. And guess what? I am not required too. I can and will view what he said as describing sexual assault. You havenet said anything that would convince me otherwise. All what youve said is that if you look at it this was it could not be viewed as sexual assault. Im not buying it. It was weak.
 
Why do all the Trump voters want rape? That just seems odd.
 
How come?

Because my second grade teacher, Miss Penny, used to always tell us that rape was wrong. And I know Miss Penny wouldn't lie to me.
