Rush Limbaugh furious that Bud Light dropped offensive slogan claims rape culture is a concoction of the LeftOnly politically motivated people hear "the perfect beer for removing 'no' from your vocabulary" and think "rape"
SCOTT ERIC KAUFMAN
Rush Limbaugh insisted yesterday that the response to Bud Lights infelicitous new slogan the perfect beer for removing no from your vocabulary for the night was overblown because theres no such thing as rape culture in America.
Even though Bud Light already apologized for the ambiguity built into its new slogan, Limbaugh claimed that the only people who would understand it as a tacit endorsement of sexual assault are people who politically motivated to. What must be your baseline of knowledge to read that tagline and assume that the company was promoting rape? he asked.
There is no such thing as rape culture in America! Limbaugh shouted. Its a myth! Like so much of liberalism! He acknowledged that we have people that rape we have bad actors in virtually every aspect of life but to call it a rape culture is a concoction of the left, done so as to demand more liberalism in society and more limits on freedom.

Limbaugh lit into liberals who are concerned with raising awareness, claiming that because there are only rapists, but no rape culture, all this talk of raising awareness is merely the vehicle for moving the agenda of the Democrat (sic) Party.

Remind me again how we don't have a problem with misogynist trolls on DU?
