No, Rush Limbaugh’s Comments About Buttigieg Are Not Homophobic
The Federalist ^ | 13 Feb 2020 | David Marcus

Posted on 02/14/2020 4:10:14 AM PST by Rummyfan

Conservative radio host and recent recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom Rush Limbaugh found himself in hot water Thursday over remarks he made about former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s presidential campaign. In a nutshell, the fiery right wing superstar opined on how Democrats view the impact of Mayor Pete’s homosexuality in a potential debate against Donald Trump, who Limbaugh views as an alpha male.

Here are the remarks in question:

Then they’re sitting there and they’re looking at Mayor Pete, a 37-year-old gay guy, mayor of South Bend, loves to kiss his husband on the debate stage, and they’re saying, ‘Okay. How’s that going to look, a 37-year-old gay guy kissing his husband on stage next to Mr. Man, Donald Trump? What’s gonna happen there....

Many women I know are the ones most disgusted by it.

Let’s be real, Rush revels in being “in hot water” and now that he’s fighting for his life with stage 4 cancer we can all be 100% certain he doesnt give a .... darn ... about how much “concern” leftists feel about what he says.

There's no such thing as homophobic. It was a made up word to take away your Right to Free Speech, Right to practice your religion and to make you liable for lawsuits. No More!! That gives homosexuals great power over MOST of the general population.

The use of the term "homophobic" to label any and all who oppose of even fail to affirm homosexual relations is actually psychological tactic designed to intimidate and put the opposition on the defensive, consistent with the tactics laid out years ago in the "art of war manual" for the prohomosexual movement, "After the Ball." https://www.conservapedia.c...

However, rather than everyone who opposes or fails to affirm homosexual relations being driven by a irrational fear of homosexuals or of being one, the class of persons this term rationally applies to are those who submit to the PC demands of the prohomosexual movement out of fear of being called "homophobic" and other means (like forms of "economic sanctions").

Meanwhile, if a consensual religious practice such as taking part in the Lord's supper was the cause of HIV transmission btwn men in over 80% of cases, and at significant cost to taxpayers for treatment and or prevention, then it would not be promoted, and those who oppose (which would be overwhelming majority) and warn of it would hardly be accused of being driven by an irrational fear.

God made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified (Mt. 19:4–6) - and Scripture only condemns homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with.
Homosexual relations versus the Bible.html (http://peacebyjesus.witness...

Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47

The word homophobic makes no sense. Phobia mean fear. No one fears homosexuals. Many don’t accept it. Need a new word.

It's actually a psychological tactic, see post 23 .

Always remember that when one uses the word “phobe” or variations thereof, unless they are talking about snakes or spiders, they do not know what the **** they are talking about.

I am always amazed at how quickly conservatives adopt the propaganda of leftist, such as using the term “progressive” for leftists -— a term riding on the positive sentiment of progress (who can be against progress), and especially the idiotic term “homophobia” which rides on the very negative term “hydrophobia.”

Homophobia is a completely fictitious term that was introduced to push out the more accurate label of “sexual perversion” and attempts to suppress the shudder that is innate in most every human regarding the perversion. Now the attempt is to romanticize it with “who you love” and “marriage.”

The traditional nuclear family is not being promoted in the public schools, but homosexual “marriage” is, and even starting in the first grade to make sure the indoctrination and brain washing is successful.

What makes you think the DNC doesn’t want Mayo Cheat? They manufactured the Iowa app crisis that allowed a clear victory to be taken from Bernie and given to Cheat. It is only because of that manufactured “victory” for Cheat that he surged in the polls and now has the most delegates. He’s got all the CIA/Obama-team backing too.

Might the Clinton syndicate be ultimately hoping for a Bloomie-funding Hill and Cheat ticket? Sure. But they put Cheat in the position he is in today. Oh, also, reportedly the stolen votes that were not given to Cheat went to Corrupt Amy, too.

The DNC does not want Sanders and it does not want Buttigieg. Where does that leave them?!

“”””With the DNC in panic mode things are looking up for Hillary.”””

That is the plan. With the debacle in Iowa to insure there is no front running. NH was a draw. There will be no clear winner by the convention.

I think you are correct.

I see no front runner

The communist and the queer are tied. I saw one report where the queer had one more delegate than the communist

All normal people are in hot water with the raving lunatic set.

If Rush had just said, 'it is a beautiful day,' the SJW lunatics would still be raving.

For 31 years, Rush gets in “trouble” for speaking “Truth”.

Most people can’t handle the truth. And, goodness knows, none of us are allowed to speak an opinion? Or, even to openly question the motives of others.

This is just a glimpse of what Is to come. Any reference will be called “homophobic”, a BS term. No one is afraid of Poofters.

That is nothing any different than what most Democrats are saying, just without cameras present.

“Kissing his husband”

Remember how Bill Clinton was declared the first black President. Petra, will be the first female President.

If Democrats were that damn high on his gayness, they would be crowing about it 24/7.

Absolutely NONE OF THEM will even mention it. Not one from the press down to Hollywood Twitter.
