Limbaugh quotes Cain accuser: it was "nothing overtly sexual", but how?

[certainot]

During his Tues Nov 1 show Rush Limbaugh said the woman accusing Herman Cain of sexual harassment admitted it was "nothing overtly sexual".

He used the same exact phrase 3 times. When someone wants Limbaugh to sell a talking point he'll repeat it a few times. If it's one of the major think tanks buying that time, like a Koch Bros think tank, it's possible Sean Hannity used the same phrase later in the day- that's the usual procedure. Then it might also be repeated by other talkers, maybe even go local.

He used it as a a direct quote. So, did he get that from Perry supporters or did he just make it up?

Maybe her lawyer needs to know.

1. In Limpballs parlance

'nothing overtly sexual' may mean 'he didn't whip it out right in front of her.'

[zbdent]

6. no, it means

that the officials in the Dominican Republic looked the other way when he flashed them $$$ ...

[Cirque du So-What]

9. Typical Oxyrush

Double meaning.

[Boojatta]

22. Actually, what you describe is nudity, and nudity is not necessarily sexual.

After all, there are nudist camps that don't permit orgies.

[TBMASE]

2. it was a direct quote from the Politico Story

[salin]

3. if so, it is misleading. Politico didn't speak to either of the women

who left with settlements. Nondisclosure agreements and all of that. The quote has to be from someone else (they spoke to others working at the assn at the time).

So the quote is used to sound like it is one of the women saying it/clearing him.

7. i screwed up, but you're right. & the lawyer needs to know his client is being quoted to 20 mil

lion americans, or more if all the talkers run with it to protect cain.

[seabeyond]

12. the lawyer has spoken out. the victim has contacted him adn told him that she wants to speak out

that cain is lying. i dont know where the threads are, but the lawyer is saying he is checking out to see if she can talk, since cain is lying.

[Kingofalldems]

4. Oops.

[certainot]

5. thanks, my bad. maybe i should delete the diary. but as salin says below he used it as a direct quot

e.

maybe the lawyer should know anyway.

[Kingofalldems]

18. And now there is a third victim

[certainot]

21. and a radio talker says he dis same with some of his staff...

it just keeps coming out- to me it sounds like he's more of a jerk than he seemed at first

8. Rush no doubt thinks if it wasn't RAPE, it can't be "overt" sexual harrassment.

Ignore the fat man with the anal cyst.

[certainot]

14. can't ignore him, he's their real leader. seen more reference to him lately- a good sign.

he needs to be yanked out from under that rock. i really don't care how much he makes. he's already set this woman to get buried under a barrage of further harrassment from the teabagger/dittoheads when they hear her name. he's got a warehouse full of trophies he's going to add her to. he needs to be reduced to a few stations in communities where local sponsors will say they love him. right now his empire depends on sponsors that won't defend him but are never asked, and universities that should be ashamed to be associated with those stations.

he gets a free speech free ride, and exposing him and referencing him as much as possible as the standard bearer for the modern republican teabaggers would do a great deal to advance OWS and put the GOP away.

every time i watch debates or panels with representative of both parties, or their flaks, i see opportunities for the 'liberal' to respond "that's what limbaugh says".

10. He probably got it from where he gets most of his "facts"

Al Franken used to refer to it as "The Institute of Rush Limbaugh's Butt."

[hobbit709]

11. The only Limbaugh quote I'd believe is the sound of breaking wind.

[mentalsolstice]

13. It doesn't matter if it was overtly sexual or not.

If Cain acted in a way that was intended to make this woman uncomfortable, or if a reasonable person could infer such, then it's harassment, clear and simple.

[Ter]

15. Define "nothing overtly sexual"

Wouldn't that be something like a female worker over-hearing me say I'd like to do Megan Fox?

[JuniperLea]

16. I know it's too much to ask...

But wouldn't it be delicious of Rush crashed in the same 'bring it on' as Cain?

Elvis Costello says it best...

Once upon a time, I had a little money.
Government burglars took it long
before I could mail it to you.
Still, you are the only one.
Now I can't let it slip away.
So if the man with the ticker tape,
he tries to take it,
well this is what I'm gonna say.

Blame it on Cain.
Don't blame it on me.
Oh, oh, it's nobody's fault,
but we need somebody to burn.

Well if I was a saint with
a silver cup
and the money got low
we could always heat it up
or trade it in.
But then the radio that heaven will be wired to your purse.
And then you can run down the wave band,
coast to coast, hand in hand.
Bad to worse, curse for curse,
don't be dissatisfied.
So you're not satisfied.

I think I've lived a little too long
on the outskirts of town
I think I'm going insane
from talking to myself for so long.
Oh but I've never been accused.
When they step on your face,
you wear that good look grin.
I gotta break out one weekend
if I do somebody in.
But every single time
I feel a little stronger,
they tell me it's a crime.
Well how much longer?

[WinkyDink]

17. Oh, it was "COVERTLY" SEXUAL? THE SLOW ADMISSION BEGINS THAT IT WAS SEXUAL IN NATURE.

Drip, drip, drip, Herman.

19. Was it just a frat prank asshole?

This dipshit could say the sky is green and yellow plaid and his Shittoheads would swear to it.

20. thanks for the wonderful images!
