More fodder for the Flush Rush movement.

Notice how he uses terms like "these three people" and "staying in this malcontent's house". Not three young women held captive.
Disgusting.

(15,189 posts)He probably liked it since he could play video games all day and not go to school. Who knows where they come up with this shit. Yes being held captive not knowing if you're going to be killed or raped any minute is worth the fun of playing video games, and ditching school. Who would want to leave?

I watched it this morning after taping it last night.

(6,185 posts)I was at work until late and was in the middle of the episode when I got a call from one of my nephews telling me all about the Cleveland case. He caught me totally off guard and at first I thought he was kidding and watching the same 5-0 episode. Girl kidnapped and held for a decade as a prisoner. What are the odds?
How eerie is that?

(101,341 posts)He is trying to make 'entertainment' out of the kidnap and rape of 3 women. And 'score political points' too. Is there fucking nothing he won't stoop to?
hughee99
(16,113 posts)without any information and suggesting a scenario that allows them to try to score political points? Only the repukes would stoop that low... That would be like suggesting the Marathon bombers were teabaggers just a few hours after the bombs went off.
muriel_volestrangler
(101,341 posts)It would be like saying the police should have arrested and interrogated all the victims of the bombing, on the grounds that bombers often get caught in their own bombs, and so one of them was probably guilty. The language he's using is blaming the victims - "staying in the house". But you also need to remember that Limbaugh bills himself as an 'entertainer' - it's his excuse when he steps over the line - "oh, this is all just a bit of knock-about politics, lighten up, won't you?" So he is trying to run his 'entertainment' show with 'jokes' about how women have been imprisoned and raped, for years.

Any bets on how long it will take Glenn Beck to blame this on Obame because he let those three 'Muslin' brothers run loose in Cleveland.
Naturally Alex Jones will prove that this is just another FBI false flag event designed to let Obama take you're guns.
fox news will then report that three 'muslin' brothers were caught in a failed CIA sting while attempting to collect food stamps because Obama needs to buy support with 'free stuff'.
Keep an eye on freeperland for the story.
