RUSH: Man, oh, man, what a strategy the Democrats seem to have assembled here, folks. I mean, it looks like theyre willing to throw an endless number of people overboard on the sexual harassment stuff just to get Trump and Roy Moore. Its kind of breathtaking to behold this.
Greetings. Great to have you. Rush Limbaugh at 800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program. The email address, ElRushbo@eibnet.us.
There are more sexual harassment revelations today. The NFL Network and three players, including Marshall Faulk and Ike Taylor. Ike Taylor, number 24, cornerback for the Steelers, former. And Marshall Faulk of course for the St. Louis Rams. He played for a while for the Indianapolis Dolts. And theres another player in there. Oh, yeah, McNabb is in there, thats right. Donovan McNabb is in there identified as a harasser. Its a makeup artist thats alleging all of this abuse at the NFL Network.
Weve got a Disney guy that has been forced out, another one at NPR. Its just incredible. Somebody sent me today a clip do you remember oh, whats the name of the movie? Its a Cary Grant, Doris Day movie. Something about The Trouble with Mink or Touch of Mink or so some such. Anyway, doesnt matter what the title is. Somebody sent me a YouTube clip of it, and basically Cary Grant is a billionaire businessman and shes the secretary. She works for him. He offers her a whirlwind romance. Touch of Mink. Thats what it is. Touch of Mink. This is a fifties movie, maybe early sixties.
Ive seen it. My parents let me see this kind of stuff, but my neighbor would not let their kids go see anything with Doris Day in it when we were single digit age-wise. I told Doris Day that once. She got the biggest cackle out of it. Anyway, this billionaire businessman, Cary Grant, offers this secretary a whirlwind round-the-world romance while a building is being renovated and redecorated. And its one of the most lavish nobody would turn the trip down. And she says, Wouldnt you just marry me instead, couldnt you just marry me?
And he says no. And he makes it clear this is a one-time thing. Theres no love involved here, no romance, its totally up to her. The point is that this exchange today would be sexual harassment. This exchange today would be sexual harassment, whereas many years ago it was standard operating procedure. Now, in the movie, Doris Days not offended, shes not upset, the guys not wielding any power over her, she doesnt have to go on the trip to keep her job. Hes just looking for a good time with a good-looking babe for a little while and makes it clear its nothing more than that for no longer than what it would take to do the trip.
And she counters with a demand for a ring. And he tells her, Nope, nope, not happening, not gonna do it. Im Cary Grant, I never get married in movies. Just wouldnt work. Image and all that. So it was a stark contrast, because that kind of activity was common back then. This is not Mad Men behavior. Dont misunderstand. This is all sophisticated and aboveboard with total honesty. But he was the boss; she was the secretary.
And when you look at it, you realize that what is in many cases, not all in many cases today whats being called sexual harassment was normal, everyday interplay between men and women at one time. It was not considered harassment. It was considered seduction. It was considered dating. But, man, all of thats out the window.
And the Democrats are leading the charge here in all of this. Well, no, Im not saying that Donovan McNabb and Ike Taylor and Marshall Faulk are Democrats. But its never ending no matter where you look. They may well be, for all I know. I dont know what their politics are. If theyre at the NFL Network, the odds are they are liberal Democrat, but thats not the point.
And so yesterday three or four of the women who accuse Trump of sexual misconduct resurfaced to demand that Congress investigate Trumps past. Now, to those of us paying attention, this is obviously a strategy, and it is a written policy somewhere, and all of these events are happening according to a timeline and plan.
Democrats Willing to Throw Endless Number of Liberal Men Overboard to Get Trump

And so yesterday three or four of the women who accuse Trump of sexual misconduct resurfaced to demand that Congress investigate Trumps past. Now, to those of us paying attention, this is obviously a strategy, and it is a written policy somewhere, and all of these events are happening according to a timeline and plan.
So they make Franken walk the plank, Weinsteins walked the plank, any number of other prominent Democrats are being told to walk the plank, and after enough of them have done so, then they go out and get the Trump babes. And they were on with Megyn Kelly and I saw one interchange. One of the women claimed to be traumatized because Trump asked for her phone number. And Megyn Kelly dutifully said (paraphrasing exchange), How did you feel when he asked for your phone number?
Well, I was scared. I knew I had to give it to him and I didnt want to give it to him, but I did, oh, my God, it was stress, I cant tell you. I didnt want to give him the number, but I knew I had to so I did.
How did you feel when he asked for your phone number? As though such a thing is life changing traumatic. Thats just one example. But the key here is that they are demanding that Congress investigate Trumps past, and theyre also demanding that he resign the presidency. One of these Trump accusers, Samantha Holvey, said Monday that Trump ogled her and other Miss USA pageant contestants in their dressing room in 2006.
Trump ogled them. He just stared at them in their dressing room. Did Trump own this pageant back then? He owned it at some point. I just dont know the date range. Imagine, my friends, ogling a beauty pageant contestant. I mean, thats beyond the pale. What kind of reprobate pervert ogles a beauty pageant contestant? I mean, it never happens before, nobody ever does this.
Everybody knows that nobody civilized ogles beauty pageant contestants, particularly during the swimsuit competition. It never happens. You know as well as I do during the swimsuit competition at beauty pageants, the viewers are imagining the IQ and the intelligence of the women and are eagerly waiting for that section of the show where they get to show off how smart they are. Or they go to the bathroom. They do anything. Theyre not interested in the swimsuit portion, right? Theres no ogling of beauty pageant contestants there.
And Trump is the owner of the pageant, obviously interested in putting the best face forward often as he can on these kinds of things. You know, if this is true, if Trump was really ogling beauty pageant contestants, he should resign, go to reeducation classes now. Weve gotta get this right. We cant have the president of the United States known as somebody who ogles beauty pageant contestants, can we? Who would ever think that ever happens? I was shocked when I heard this. I was literally stunned. Have you ever ogled a beauty pageant contestant? You have?
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Senator Fauxcahontas. CNN breaking news: Elizabeth Fauxcahontas Warren has accused Trump of slut shaming.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: And, look, a couple of minor corrections. Doris Day did not work for Cary Grant in the stupid movie, A Touch of Mink. The trip was to Bermuda and they got married at the end of it. So if she didnt work for him, then I dont get what the comparison to sexual harassment is. If she just worked in a secretarial pool but not for him, then I dont know why people are analogizing it to sexual harassment.
Sexual harassments all about powerful men threatening horrible things to women who dont comply. Anyway, we have a break coming up here, but I need to keep going on this Democrat strategy, because, folks, its amazing. Theyre willing theyre not just willing; theyre doing it! They are throwing a lot of Democrat elected officials and others overboard on sexual harassment allegations, and its clear why. Trumps the target next which means, I guess, the Russian collusion thing aint working out the way they had planned.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Until Trump is forced out, the Democrats, it looks like theyre gonna allow each other, Democrat men accused of sexual misconduct who have been fired. And the reason for this is that, as soon as any leftist organization the Democrat Party, you name it as soon as they give a pass to a man accused of sexual misconduct, their strategy crumbles. Thats why whenever a Democrat today is accused of sexual harassment, hes gone! Theyre jumping on him, theyre pressuring him to leave, to resign, or what have you, because this is how they are going to moralize, occupy the moral high ground to force Trump out.
Now, these four women that have alleged sexual harassment by Trump came forward yesterday demanding congressional investigations. But the thing about the Democrats here is theyre not out to protect women. This is not about protecting women, its not about loving them, its not about saving them. It is about them gunning for Trump. And if this keeps up, this is gonna be a long, rough ride for a bunch of these phony male feminists. You know, all these Hollywood guys whove claimed to be pro-choice, pro-feminist, all so Hollywood women would embrace them and let them in and be close.
Guys are always gonna do what they think they have to do to get where they want to go with women, and if you gotta be pro-choice, if you gotta be pro-feminist, you gotta love the NOW gang, then thats what Hollywood men are gonna do. I wonder how many Hollywood men really dont care one way or the other about pro-life or pro-choice. I wonder how many Hollywood men may actually be pro-life but they dont dare say so. I wonder how much genuine phoniness there is in this issue?
Folks, its an amazing thing to watch. Look at this. I have a story here from the AP. #MeToo Spotlight Increasingly Pointed at Past Trump Conduct. And so we now see the realization of what we have been predicting for months. Ever since the Weinstein stuff hit the fan, we have known, I have made it clear what I think is gonna happen here. This is the latest effort theyre making to get rid of Trump.
And heres the APs story. Donald Trump sailed past a raft of allegations of sexual misconduct in last years presidential election. 11th-hour accusations that were presented without the slightest shred of any substantiation, by the way. As I recall, none of the last-minute allegations about Trump stood up to even the slightest scrutiny.
One of those claims, if you remember, was that Trump was making out and groping a woman in first class, which was supposedly witnessed by somebody who came forward to say it didnt happen. And then after the election, these women disappeared back into the woodwork, back into the ether. As soon as the effort failed, these women went away. They were brought forth for political, October Surprise type things. When it didnt work, they faded away.
Now, the AP says, The national #MeToo spotlight this is women joining the crowd is turning back to Mr. Trump and his past conduct. Several of his accusers are urging Congress to investigate his behavior, and a number of Democratic lawmakers are demanding his resignation. With each day seeming to bring new headlines that force men from positions of power, the movement to expose sexual harassment has forced an unwelcome conversation on the White House.
Unwelcome conversation on the White House? Its the Democrats that are dropping like flies. Ninety percent if not more of the allegations of sexual harassment are made against liberal men. Men who work in liberal media. Men who work in liberal Hollywood. It really is uncanny the number of liberal men who are being accused. And what a bunch of phonies. These are the guys that have been preaching to all the rest of us about how you must respect women, we must all be pro-choice, and they try to convince us theyre feminists and all this in a political sense.
And you look at what they really have been doing, and they dont have any respect for women, and they dont have any love for women. They dont care or protect women. It really is scuz bucket behavior on the part of these guys. And the denials they issue are some of the most baseless, halfhearted denials that I have ever seen. And yet in all of this, an unwelcome conversation has started in the White House?
In a heated exchange with reporters in the White House briefing room on Monday, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders steadfastly dismissed accusations against the Republican president and suggested the issue had already been litigated in Mr. Trumps favor on Election Day. But to Mr. Trumps accusers, the rising #MeToo movement is an occasion to ensure he is at last held accountable.
Look, she has a point. The Access Hollywood video and all of these last-minute allegations, and he still was elected. And isnt that how Hillary is trying to excuse any refocus on her own husband? Well, thats in the past. Thats been handled. Thats old news. Weve dealt with that, Hillary said. You cant go back and hold Bill accountable. But theyre doing that, even. These people in the Drive-By Media are willing to throw Bill Clinton overboard with a 20-year hindsight retrograde look just to get Trump.
One of the leaders of this movement, one of the Democrats leading the charge to force Trump to resign over these allegations is the gracious and lovely Kirsten Gillibrand. Now, lets remember. Kirsten Gillibrand got elected to Congress back in 2006. And if you remember, her election was a huge upset, because the district well, the district that shes from is rock-ribbed conservatives. There was a story leaked to the press that John Sweeney, her opponent, John Sweeneys wife had called 911 to report that her husband was knocking her around the house.
The police report was never produced, and his wife later said she never made the call. You remember this? I doubt that you do. Very few people do. But this is how she ends up being in the United States Senate. Theres a bogus call from somebody claiming to be Sweeneys wife who says he beating her up inside the house, 911. The police report was never produced, and the wife later said she never made the call, and oddly enough, the Gillibrand campaign never denied leaking that story to the press, either.
So Gillibrands election to the Senate was a special election since the Senate seat had been vacated by Hillary being picked to be Obamas secretary of state. So shes out there demanding that Trump resign, that Trumps this, that, and the other thing, Trumps a scuz bucket. And Trump tweeted this: Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office begging for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!
Now, the left is just in a tizzy over this Trump tweet. They practically had to shut down MSNBC today because all the oil in the gaskets was exploding over one thing in this tweet. Gillibrand came to my office begging for campaign contributions and would do anything for them. They are claiming that Trump is saying that she was well, you fill in the blank that she would do anything.
They think that Trump is insulting her sexually, her sexual character. And they are flipping their wigs in the Drive-By Media. This gives me pause to make an observation. How many times a day do you encounter stories or people on TV asking, theorizing, Why does Trump do this? Why does Trump tweet so much? Why cant Trump stop? These tweets, gotta be the end of him. Somebody needs to tell Trump he needs to stop tweeting.
How many of you have an idea why he does it? Ill tell you what it isnt. A lot of people think Trump does it because its the only way he can get his side of the news out there. Thats not why he does this. Thats not why he tweets multiple times a day. I mean, its a result. He does get his side of the news out there. He does combat the narratives that the Drive-Bys report.
But thats not technically why he does it. There are actually many reasons why he does it. But the first and foremost reason why he does it is because he loves toying with these people. He loves wrapping the Drive-Bys around his little finger. He loves tweaking em, just like I do.
I love getting close to the line of saying things that I know are gonna upset em and send em into all kinds of convulsions just for the fun of doing it, and that is a large part of why Trump does this, just to create the reaction that he gets. From Kirsten Gillibrand, the reaction tweet: You cannot silence me or the millions of women who have gotten off the sidelines to speak out about the unfitness and shame you have brought to the Oval Office. So Trump reads the reaction and says, Bingo. Success. Theyre reacting to me.
You know what a bad day for Trump is? When his names not in the paper, when people arent talking about him, when he hasnt irritated somebody. If two days where Trump hasnt irritated somebody go by, hes gonna fix it. And they cant Theyre used to presidents and very powerful political people not acting this way. This is This is This is not decent! Youre not supposed to share what you think. Youre not supposed to provoke your opponent this way. Youre not supposed to laugh at them, make fun of them.
Youre not supposed to do this. This is so unseemly. Its unpresidential. They cant stand it, and they cant stand that Trump loves it, and they cant stand that Trump gets pleasure from it. And they cant stand that Trumps supporters love it and want more of it. They keep feeding him. Against their best interests, they keep feeding the guy. Theyre in such perpetual outrage that they have lost focus. Just like this Russia thing. They are so immersed in it, they think it really happened. They do!
Im convinced that they really do think it happened. Its not that theyre knowingly trying to prove what they know is not true. They think it did, theyre so immersed in it. And likewise they think Trump is just such a low-rent scuz bucket that they dont take the time to analyze how hes toying with them. They havent the ability to see themselves as Wile E. Coyote. They see themselves as some great enforcer thats gonna get rid of the people they dont like. But of course thats not working out for them, either.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Okay. Lets go to the phones. We will start in Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania. Hi, Lynn. Great to have you on the EIB Network today. How are you?
CALLER: Im good. This is the first time Ive ever called in and Im calling in because of outrage. Two points. First point, very quickly: How can they come after Trump for unsubstantiated accusations when Clinton went on national TV and admitted his abuse? Second, more importantly
RUSH: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold it a minute. When did Clinton admit it? He lied about it. He said he didnt do it.
CALLER: Im under the impression that he finally went on TV and apologized to the American public? Didnt he?
RUSH: I dont recall if he did that or not.
CALLER: All right. Thats my impression that he did, and theres the dress. Whatever. But more importantly, Im outraged with the women of this country. Im a professional woman of over 30 years and I have been harassed dozens times. As a woman as an adult, professional or not we all have the opportunity to say no, shut the door, or walk away. I know, in fact, for a fact. I worked for a woman who had a deliberate affair with a superior and then turned around and sued for millions and got it.
And its reprehensible. And I dont believe these women. Theyre out for notoriety and/or money. There are women who are absolutely unintentionally and unwantingly harassed and raped and whatever. But its my belief because Ive seen it so much in my profession that there are women that allow that to happen and then turn around and point the finger, and that outrages me. Because I have successfully said, No, thank you, walked away. And I dont sue. If I had, Id be worth millions today!
RUSH: Well, I hear you. I have to tell you, Im very sympathetic to women who are abused/harassed by men who have the ability to fire them, to cut their salaries, to not give them raises, to penalize them. I think that would intimidate women into shutting up if they have no other job to go to. I think that would frighten them. They would be afraid to behave as you have described your own behavior. Theyd be afraid theyd be fired. That makes them a threat. Refusing the advance and then getting in the face of the harasser and telling him off and then leaving, she now knows something and shes not afraid.
She becomes a threat. So now shes a target for either getting fired or other things. I think what youre reacting to is what a lot of people are reacting to. All of these allegations of sexual harassment that are brought forth against politicians are viewed suspiciously because politics is politics, and politics corrupts things, and you are dubious, say, of women who sat silent for 38 years and then all of a sudden before an election claiming a guy attacked them or did something as in the Roy Moore case.
And some of these other charges. Like these allegations against Trump now. You dont believe these women are traumatized like theyre trying to tell you they are. You think this is being done to gain political advantage and youre standing up and defending the people being accused. I totally understand. I think there are two different things here, and real sexual harassments being corrupted yet again by the Democrat Party.
They don’t recognize ‘individuals’ in a commune............
The leftist morons at reddit believe that liberal men being purged is the work Roger Stone and Bannon.
OK by me!
Because this is the chief failure of socialism/command sorts of societies, in that they use tactics like these to divide and conquer, but ultimately the results are even more divisive and self contradictory.
I ran the #s. There are about 140 harassment settled claims “out there” (30% of congress). We’re not even talking about the SENATE (30 members).
This means we’re looking at significant #s of WOMEN who will come out (Gills, FinkStink), etc.

At this point, if you date at work, you are probably a fool.
Bill Clinton did get on national tv and said that he "had sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinski." But only after his DNA had been found on her blue dress.
So the caller was right.
If both parties signed non-disclosure agreements and private money was used for payoffs, is there any way to know about those settlements? Other than asking every member of the House and Senate if he/she has ever been a party to one.
Democrats bragged about being the ‘party of women’ - - champions of ‘Women’s Rights’.
WE NEVER MADE THAT CLAIM.
We’ve the Chauvinist Pigs, RIGHT? We should tell our guys’ to cool it... but there’s no reason to jump on the liberal elits’ hate men bandwagon.
Besides - this poster tells the truth - see if you can find the pattern.

Well, fortunately for them, they have an endless supply.
Trump isn't going anywhere, but somehow he's going to arrive at re-election.
And it will all backfire, boomerang back to them.
Well, Franken hasn’t gone anywhere yet. As a stratagem, this is a real head scratcher. By the time Dems get through purging all the pervs who refuse to go quietly, Trump will have served 2 terms and be a great granddaddy....
I agree with your conclusion. I’m also surprised to hear folks reference Franken by saying something like, “Now that he’s gone...”
As you stated, he hasn’t gone anywhere, and the women are just fine with that evidently.
The article repeats it’s paragraphs at least three times, but I get the message. I’m waiting for Phase Two; when the Democrat women are also sacrificed on the altar of Progressive Power Grabs. Wonder if Mad-Maxine Waters has anything to worry about? In her case, it would probably be misappropriation of federal funds to buy her new houses, cars and wigs.
>>it looks like theyre willing to throw an endless number of people overboard
In the Progressive mind, these arent people. These are just menunnecessary, disposable, replaceable men.
Bob Packwood is a great example of this dynamic. For years, he was the darling of the Left due to his being a reliable pro-abortion ally on the right.
He was a Republican counterweight to Republicans who might curtail wholesale abortion, so he was a maverick, and the press let him be. Kind of like John McCain, a tool.
As long as they needed him, he was their darling, and he was safe.
Then, in November 1992, as soon as the election was done, and an openly pro-abortion President had won the election, The Washington Post began running stories about Packwood and sexual harassment. (This pattern starting to look familiar, anyone?)
He was forced out, and replaced by...Democrat Tom Wyden, a far, far leftist who still holds office.
If there is anyone who doesn’t think this is a tool used by the Left, they aren’t paying attention.
