(trigger warning)
Whoa. On Dec. 22, Rush Limbaugh made it for 30 entire days with no vile rape mentions, according to the Days Without A GOP Rape Mention website. Then on Dec. 23, Limbaugh had to go and ruin his winning streak with his full-on raunchy attempt to defend Florida State football star and likely rapist Jameis Winston on his radio show.
snip:
Limbaugh goes on to remind us that Winston also never faced criminal charges. But of course, Limbaugh fails to mention that this doesnt prove Winstons innocence, it only proves our criminal justice systems continued leniency towards rapists. Especially rapists and wife beaters who win football games. Rush would go on:
Winston also avoided criminal prosecution stemming from the accusation he raped a female student at his off-campus apartment in December 2012.
Oh, because Winston never raped that woman. He had her full consent. How does Limbaugh know this? Because of the part of the testimony where Winston mentions his victim moaning. Because of course theres no way he could have misheard, misinterpreted, or made up his victims moaning.

Limbaugh then goes on to claim that moaning means consent. Moaning means she was digging it.
And moaning means consent. Moaning means she was digging it. Now, I wonder, has the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee heard about this? And the NAGs, moaning? I mean, thank God this guy didnt have to fill out a form and a questionnaire like they have to do in California now. At every stage you moan, does that mean yes or no? You moan, you moan, what does it mean? In Florida he still gets to interpret that. But what if moan meant no? I mean, thats lighthearted, right?

A well paid vile, rotten excuse for a human being which is why he spews the hate he does.

Moaning also means pain or discomfort or dismay or horror. I would moan a great deal if, God forbid, I were to find myself in some kind of sexual situation with Rush Limbaugh. It would not mean consent; it would mean I was about to vomit.

I don't expect anything out of his mouth to be fit for human exposure.

Laughs at his dittoheads all the way to the bank, I'd imagine.

but it was even better that they destroyed Jameis Winston yesterday. Suh-weet.
