Limbaugh on marriage equality: Whos to say you cannot have sex with a child?

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday concluded that permitting same sex marriage would effectively legalize pedophilia.
In a clip posted by Media Matters, Limbaugh expanded on a callers argument against the Supreme Court coming down on the side of LGBT rights.
She was talking about contracts, folks, just so you understand, the radio host explained. Everybody can contract with a member of the opposite sex to marry them. But her point was that if same sex fits the bill of the contract then everything fits the bill.

And at some point, whos to say that you cannot have sex with a child? he asked.

(22,143 posts)Limbaugh is a fucking idiot. Well, his character and followers are anyway.

(3,660 posts)Including many high ranking GOP political figures. I think deep down inside they know what they believe is illogical, and bred out of hatred and discrimination, but they just can't help themselves. They choose to live in a fantasy land where facts don't apply. But Limbaugh in particular will use any slanderous and down right idiotic storyline to spread his intolerance. Deep down inside I don't believe that Rush really believes a word of what he said, but he says it because sadly he knows that there is a market for it, and people like that will do almost anything to make a buck.

The talk show host just laughed at him.

(10,893 posts)because without them, he would be nothing. They are the true believers, and I'm willing to bet that half of the stuff that comes out his mouth, he doesn't truly believe. The guy is filthy rich, so why would he care whether gays get allowed to marry or if women have access to birth control?

(65,616 posts)it is based on personal reflection of their private lives. Otherwise, the statement makes no logical sense and is not validated by anything of substance.

(17,469 posts)It is like whenever I hear a homophone who is REALLY obsessed with the actual mechanics of gay sex and keeps dwelling on how "gross" it is. The guy is deep in the closet and in denial.
Rex
(65,616 posts)and I wondered the same thing - WHY are you so engrossed in the details if it is something that is abhorrent to your character? Always look for what makes no logical sense and cannot be validated with the GOP and you will soon find a hypocrite.
Rush is a living, breathing, farting example or he could be the poster boy for hypocrisy.

He gets paid to perform. He managed to get paid well that day.
It's ridiculous to think that Sir Elton is anti-gay because he got paid to do a show. Elton has done more for gay people than almost anyone alive or dead.

(15,189 posts)The Dominican Republic anymore. And why can't men marry little girls now? They're only pedophiles if the man chooses a male child? Oh well Rush, children can't agree to a contract so this is all moot. I think it's just him hoping it would legalize pedophilia so he wouldn't have to travel so far for it.

Shame on him. Scrodless zippen-doofer.
