Limbaugh: Sandusky Is “A Gay Guy” But “Gay Lobby” Won’t Let You Say That
Homophobic Rush Limbaugh says that Penn State accused pedophile Jerry Sandusky is “a gay guy” but the “gay lobby” won’t let people say that, and adds the mere mention of this will probably “end my career.”

Media Matters reports:
A caller asked Limbaugh today about the “elephant in the room” that he had mentioned. The caller said that “we’re always told that homosexuals are not pedophiles, but in this case, he sure was. And the same thing with Michael Jackson.” Limbaugh replied, “Nah, not pedophiles, but I do think it’s the elephant in the room that is never — it’s not called a homosexual problem or scandal or — see there — and the reason, there’s a very powerful political gay movement, and it’s oriented towards supporting the Democrat Party.”
Limbaugh also said he didn’t “want to be misunderstood.” He explained:
LIMBAUGH: Sandusky does not represent all of homosexuality, just like the priests in the Catholic Church don’t represent all of homosexuality, just like the aberrant criminals in heterosexual society don’t represent all heterosexuals. But because the gay lobby is very powerful, people don’t go there. People don’t address it, they don’t talk about it, and as such, an element of the problem never gets dealt with.
Limbaugh asserted, apparently without any evidence whatsoever, that “Sandusky has to be — he’s a gay guy. Nobody’s mentioning that aspect, because it’s just too dangerous.”
Whether Sandusky is gay or not is totally immaterial. Experts say that men who molest young boys aren’t necessarily gay, and there is no credible link between homosexuality and pedophilia.
Earlier this month, Limbaugh said that “women lie,” and invoked Tawana Brawley to defend Herman Cain against the accusations of sexual harassment.
Recently, Limbaugh said former Bush Secretary of State Colin Powell will vote for President Obama again because “melanin is thicker than water.â€
