Radio host Rush Limbaugh on Friday
suggested that the “gay lobby” has pressured the media into not
mentioning that Jerry Sandusky is “a gay guy,” Equality
Matters reported.
Sandusky, a former coach at Penn State,
has been accused of sexually molesting at least 8 underage boys,
charges Sandusky has denied.
A caller said that “we're always told
that homosexuals are not pedophiles, but in this case, he sure was.
And the same thing with Michael Jackson.”
Limbaugh replied: “Sandusky does not
represent all of all homosexuality, just like the priests in the
Catholic Church don't represent all of homosexuality, just like the
aberrant criminals in heterosexual society don't represent all
heterosexuals.”
“But because the gay lobby is very
powerful, people don't go there. People don't address it, they don't
talk about it, and as such, an element of the problem never gets
dealt with.”
Limbaugh added that “Sandusky has to
be – he's a gay guy. Nobody's mentioning that aspect, because it's
just too dangerous.”
