Quote:Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh used an analogy about rape Friday to blast this week’s decision by the Senate's Democratic majority to change the chamber’s filibuster rules despite the unanimous opposition of minority Republicans. The so-called “nuclear option” will allow a bare majority of senators – as opposed to 60 - to approve most judicial and executive branch nominations. The Democratic caucus controls 55 of the chamber’s 100 seats. "Let's say, let's take 10 people in a room and they're a group. And the room is made up of six men and four women. The group has a rule that the men cannot rape the women. The group also has a rule that says any rule that will be changed must require six votes, of the 10, to change the rule," Limbaugh told listeners. "Every now and then, some lunatic in the group proposes to change the rule to allow women to be raped. But they never were able to get six votes for it. There were always the four women voting against it and they always found two guys.” Limbaugh continued: “Well, the guy that kept proposing that women be raped finally got tired of it, and he was in the majority and he was one that (said), 'You know what? We're going to change the rule. Now all we need is five." “And well, 'You can't do that.' 'Yes we are. We're the majority. We're changing the rule.' And then they vote. Can the women be raped? Well, all it would take then is half of the room,” Limbaugh said. “You can change the rule to say three. You can change the rule to say three people want it, it's going to happen. There's no rule. When the majority can change the rules there aren't any." Friday’s analogy isn’t Limbaugh’s first inflammatory comment about women. Last year, the radio host apologized for a comment he made on his show about Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke, calling her a "slut" after she testified about contraception on Capitol Hill. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/11/22/rush-limbaugh-uses-rape-analogy-to-decry-filibuster-rule-change/?hpt=hp_t3

"When the majority can change the rules there aren't any". Just like McCain, totally insane. The majority SET the rules in the first place...majority of Americans, majority of Congressmen, majority of Senators, you name it. Poor brainless fool. Limbaugh sure has sex on the brain...prostitutes, rape, he keeps comin' up with 'em...must say something about him.

Then McConnell turns around and threatens to do the very thing he's complaining about. Boy, the irony is so thick you could hang your laundry out to dry on it. SGG

Quote:Originally posted by SHINYGOODGUY: Exactly, Niki. I've heard him refer to women in the most nasty way. He has a problem with women in general, but his hate-filled vomits are most heinous towards women in power or in positions of influence. He's probably got Weiner issues, and is in need of a flashlight, tweezers and a magnifying glass. Ha, ha............I kill me! SGG

It is lacking because he forgets about every other check and balance in the US government. I do not fear God, I fear the ignorance of man.
