RUSH LIMBAUGH IS GAY!
by Friends of Liberty Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2002 at 4:24 PM

.... not that there's anything wrong with that.

RUSH LIMBAUGH IS GAY...

ST. LOUIS MAN CLAIMS RUSH LIMBAUGH AFFAIR (Breaking Hard, ho ho...)

St. Louis xxxxx xxxxxxxx
Dec. 8, 2002
A 46 year old music store owner from the St. Louis area, Elliot Sanders, is claiming that while a college student at Southeast Missouri University in 1971, he had an affair with Rush Limbaugh. Sanders claims that he and Limbaugh, the well known talk radio star, had an affair that went on for about 3 months in the fall of 1971...

Sanders stated that he met Limbaugh in a class he was taking, but it was only after meeting his sister, who was openly gay at that time, that he found out Rush himself was gay. "Rush was a charming man privately," says Sanders, "I met him in a class I was taking, and got on a first name basis with him. I didn't realize he was gay until his sister came to visit him. She was gay, and like, we hit it off, and she seemed shocked that I didn't know Rush was gay as well. When I found out I was like ... wow!"

Sanders says that privately, Limbaugh was very sensitive and caring man, but that he was furiously angry that KFBK, the top 40 radio station he worked while still in high school would not offer him a full time job.

"He was furious about that," said Sanders, "And he often told me that he was really going to show them." According to Sanders, Rush's politics at the time were somewhat middle of the road. "Rush said that he though most people are incredibly gullible, and he felt that the key to radio programming was to reach that crowd, and that it would be really, really easy. He thought he thought he could get anyone to believe anything he said, and the more outrageous is was, the more they would believe it."

When asked when he thought Limbaugh "went straight," Sanders replied, "What are you talking about? I mean, he's been married four times now, do people really not get why he doesn't stay married? I guarantee none of those marriages was ever consummated."

Sanders would not divulge any further details, but when asked if he feared retaliation from Limbaugh for his revelations, he stated, "No, Rush wouldn't do that, he's really a sweetie at heart, but some of the people who listen to him might. I think most of them are psychotic. I don't think these people realize he's just pandering to them for ratings, but if they find out, I wouldn't want to be there."

The guy is 46 now. 31 years ago, while in college, he had an affair with Limbaugh? That would make him a 15-year-old college student. Something's not right here.

I wonder what all of the right wing, gun-nuts, racist, homophobes, and "macho men" who listen to him will think .

The leader who they idolize is gay.

ridiculous
by Marc Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2002 at 3:39 PM

This is the only comment to the article from the above link. Seeing as how the major news didn't do squat with this "story," and acknowledging the disturbingly voracious zeal with which they LOVE to smear people (and Rush has a lot of anti-fans in major news organizations!), one would have to conclude that the article is an absolute fabrication. Someone actually sat around and wrote this?

In my opinion
by Eric Tuesday, Dec. 17, 2002 at 6:24 PM

the left spends entirely too much time fixated on Rush. Why do you suppose that is? I'm on the right and haven't listened to Rush in about 10 years.

on Rush
by Marc Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2002 at 10:47 AM

I'm no fan of Rush, to be sure. While he is witty and intelligent, he has repeatedly shown an aptitude for bigotry and homophobia to say the least. (Note: I could include links here ad infinitum, but they took me took long to go through, and it gets somewhat pedantic) Besides, he was a flavor which conservatives love, but have already moved on to Sean Hannity, so it doesn't matter anyways.
Fabrication of stories on the other hand, is downright repugnant. If it is to be accepted as satire, then the author has done a bigger disservice to homosexuals than any damage intended for Limbaugh.
Limbaugh could be an effective debater, however he makes the same fallacy as anyone who is extremely ideological, be they left, right, or whatever: blind adherance. This all but eliminates critical thought, and leads down the road of another fallacy ideological extremists: demonizing their "opponents" without substantivally arguiing the merits of the information they disagree with.
But I suppose, it's hard since
"NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... " - I still bust up when I see Michael Palin in that skit...

If you want to do something about Rush Limbaugh besides piss and moan, join the boycott and spread the word.

Gays don't want him
by Baphomet Thursday, Dec. 19, 2002 at 4:12 PM

I think the gay community would be horrified at the thought of Limbaugh being gay. Simply horrified. They would never claim him.

The unsubstantiated charge that Rush Limbaugh is either ridiculous nonsense or a serious allegation and charge of pedophilia on a college co-ed that was 15 years of age at the time?

Let us do the profile and the math.

"Elliot Sanders"
"46 year old"
"college student at Southeast Missouri University in 1971"
Claims to have "had an (HOMOSEXUAL) affair with Rush Limbaugh"
and "had an affair (with Rush Limbaugh) that went on for about 3 months in the fall of 1971..."

2002 - 1971 = 31 years ago

46 years old - 31 years ago = 15

No something most certainly isn't right. If the story is true, Mr. Limbaugh is a pedophile. I understood the story to say that while Mr. Limbaugh was a college student.

Actually, Traveller, the Rush boycott IS working
by GRINGO STARS Thursday, Feb. 06, 2003 at 2:40 AM
gringo_stars@attbi.com

SIX advertisers have already bowed to pressure and decided to cut ads that run on stations that broadcast Rush's show.

It's the only thing that capitalists understand; money. Hit them in the money belt if you want it to hurt.

But dammit, RED LOBSTER is still advertising with Rush. They are bowel-destroying, gut-wrenching fish-slingers who are out to keep Americans on the toilet for all eternity.

Limbaugh did not work at KFBK when he was in HS. Limbaugh did not arrive in Sacramento until after 1980, well into his 30s.

Even if Rush WAS gay, what does it matter, he's still smarter than all the left put together and his facts are bulletproof.
