Rush asked on-air by caller to comment on Sex Tourism in Dom Rep

[iconoclastNYC]

This guy got thru and asked about Sex Tourism:

I promised you folks I'd punch these fuckers in the mouth whenever I had the chance (rhetorically - with words, that is).

Here's another example.

The wind up was kind of long, and I can't be sure Rush allowed the audio to be broadcast to his radio affiliates, but I got it on tape from his live-feed.

Hopefully more of our partisans will continue the whispers because I want to make the bastard deny it...

10. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! ***mega-dildos****

Thanks for the laugh, that was clever!

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. That was great

Dontcha love the way Rush avoided the question and went right back to the topic of the NY Times article?

3. I LOVE Mike Stark. Awesome! Here is the transcript:

:applause:

MIKE: I think that China is the country that tells the press what they can print and what they can’t print, and I think that China is the country that monitors their citizens’ emails. It’s un-American, and you only have to go back 30 years to the Nixon administration to look at where this goes. He was spying on political enemies, using all the same tools, infiltrating anti-war organizations, which they have done <RUSH SIGHS> at my university—the SUNY Albany university. They have intercepted our emails, and they have sent moles in to intercept our groups. It is not American. And you know what? They have already expanded this war on terror to the drug war. They said drugs finance terror. What are you going to do when they expand it to, say, sex tourism in the Dominican Republic?
RUSH: I think they’re actually doing a pretty good damn job around, on the drug war. They’re getting a whole ton of people coming through customs with Viagra. But, uh, let me tell you something Steve, it’s a nice try, but what you’re sadly doing is making a series of mistakes that conform exactly to what is on the minds of the left today. You look at this administration as Nixon and Watergate, you look at this war as Vietnam, you compare this administration to the Triconf. Now that’s offensive. I’m worn out. I’m literally worn out with this kind of thinking. I—you have to be smarter than this.

"The Chinese spy on their people." We’re not spying on Americans with the NSA program. We’re not tracking the financial transactions of Americans unless there is a terrorist connection. And it is working. The NY Times was not commanded not to publish. The administration asked them not to publish. They spent weeks trying to explain to them the program, and Bill Keller just admitted, “hey, we’re not judging the success of the program, a lot of people have told us it’s a successful program. We’re just concerned about whether or not it’s legal and blah blah.” That’s the arrogance. This is a time of war. To equate this with Nixon’s spying on the Democratic National Committee at Watergate is ridiculous. And I have to think—I just have to think you know better. We all have partisan leanings and yours are obvious, so much so that you’re willing to overlook some facts, some realities here, that make this dangerous. And I’m going to tell you, when I was—I had this great weekend down in the Dominican Republic—

4. Oh, Rush was hoping that the comment slipped by most listeners...

...because he has no__I repeat, NO--reasonable explanation for taking a bottle full of illegally prescribed Viagra to the Dominican Republic. In fact, I have no doubt that he's on strict orders from his lawyers STFU about it.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

5. Oh, I'm sure he was bringing it to donate to the needy, impotent Dominican

poor!

8. I know you're joking but I can attest to the fact that the DR

...is not suffering from erectile dysfunction. I went there, when I worked for an international child sponsorship agency. Most people know that it's an extremely impoverished nation but what surprised me was that, in almost every Santo Domingo slum I visited, a significant percentage of the children had been abandoned by their fathers.

What they need are planeloads of condoms but, in the absence of a government that's willing to help them, many of the Dominican poor cling to the Roman Catholic church, which, of course, forbids the use of birth control.

Anyway, once you get away from the beach resorts, it's pretty much all heartwrenching poverty and desperation.

9. That's what I saw, too.

The resorts are a different world. One family tried to get a girl in the group before us to adopt their two daughters--and she was a college student at the time. They wanted a better life for their daughters. Still gets to me when I think about it.

11. Sex Tourism? The Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Ironies

The irony about right-wingers practicing sex tourism in the Caribbean is that these are often the same right-wingers who claim that allowing US tourists to visit Cuba would promote sex tourism.

If ol' Rush wanted to show that he was practicing those famous right-wing "family values", why didn't he visit someplace prim and uptight like Barbados or the Grand Caymans? He could have saved the expense for Viagra tablets, too.

12. I haven't been able to bring myself to listen to Rush since the mid-90's.

He's sounding kinda tired.

That makes my heart glad! :evilgrin:
