Conservative radio talk show host Rush
Limbaugh says Democrats are willing to “bend over” for gays and
African-Americans out of desperation for money.
In response to a caller's question on
the Monday, June 23rd edition of Premiere Radio Networks'
The Rush Limbaugh Show, Limbaugh attempted to answer why
Republicans are willing to ignore Christians and conservatives. “I
want to know how the Republicans don't need Christians and
conservatives, and they think we're 30 percent. Twelve percent black
people in the population. Ten percent – they claim – homosexuals
in the population. Rush, honey, when did 30 percent get to be a
small number?” the caller asked.
Limbaugh responded: “I don't – I
think it's actually larger than 30 percent. But let me see if I can
get your question right. You want to know why the Republicans are
willing to say, “Screw you,” to 30 percent or more of the voters
and yet Democrats will bend over, grab the ankles, and say, 'Have
your way with me,' for 10 percent and 2 percent of the population?”
Limbaugh has a long track record of
demeaning minorities. For a while, HIV/AIDS stories would open with
Dionne Warwick's song “I Know I'll Never Love This Way Again.”
After a break, Limbaugh expanded on his
thought by saying that the Republican party was embarrassed by Southern
pro-lifers.
Yet, he said, lowering population
figures for blacks and gays, “the black population totals 10
percent, don't know what the voting population is. The gay
population – what is it? One percent, 2 percent --- that's --- 12
percent, and we're not even factoring out the adult population, the
voting population there.”
“One of the multiple answers to this
– but one of the first answers is money. The far-left – and
don't – I'll tell you something, the politically active gay
community on the left is worth a lot of money. These people send the
Democrats more money than you can possibly imagine.”
Limbaugh admitted that pro-lifers
donate a lot of money to the Republican party, adding, “But it
embarrasses them. It still embarrasses a lot of country club
Rockefeller types.”
“The Democrats – what are they
embarrassed about? They're not embarrassed about anything. The
Democrats have never set any standards for themselves. As far as
they're concerned, everybody's a victim, even on their side. So, I
mean, yeah, these victims are just fighting to be heard. Fighting
for their rights, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The conservative
rights – conservative right is viewed as trying to deny people
rights, blah, blah, blah, you see.”
“Democrats are scared to death if
these people take their money and go away or go to a third party or
what have you. And so they will cater to them left and right.”
