In Limbaugh's world, a rape victim is a "ho"
When a caller asked Limbaugh to speculate on why Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson hadn't become enmeshed in the immigration debate, Limbaugh said that Sharpton was too busy trying to insert himself in the controversy surrounding recent allegations that white Duke University lacrosse players gang-raped a black exotic dancer during a raucous party. Limbaugh put it charmingly: "He's trying to figure out how he can get involved in the deal down there at Duke where the lacrosse team uh, supposedly, you know, raped, some, uh, hos."
When another caller asked him to clarify if he had indeed called the victim a "ho," Limbaugh offered an apology and then something of an explanation. Unfortunately, it made no sense: "Well, because, because I'm running on fumes today, [caller], and I felt terrible about it. And I knew somebody was gonna call and give me a little grief so I'm takin' the occasion of your call to apologize for it. That was, it was a terrible slip of the tongue. I'm sorry."

fyi
It seems like Salon owes the players an appology for calling her a rape victim.
Turns out she wasn’t a rape victim. Just a ho.
The Ministry Of Thought got Imus, and they smell blood.
Granted, Imus was low-hanging fruit...
This guy is a little confused about who said what, isn't he?
In 1989, a young woman jogger in Central Park was viciously raped and beaten by a gang of youths. Sharpton led a mob outside the court which claimed, without a shred of evidence, that "the boyfriend did it," and screamed that the victim was a "whore."
From This thread.
so ‘progressive’ Salon tries to get Limbaugh fired and risks all 1st amendment rights including their own in the process.
Scumbags.
It’s OK. He didn’t say nappy-headed.
I thought she was.
Rush is right 99.6% of the time.
She isn’t a victim. She never was.
You’re exactly right; it’s a damn feeding frenzy.
But every person who is a talking head or host must be censoring every thought they have, since you can’t guarantee who will be next (unless you’re a liberal.)
Chilling.
Wow.
Some women callthemselves "escorts" but will be your ho.
Your right, here we go. But unlike Imus. Rush is a different story, I for one will go to the mattress for Rush. Bring it on as they say.
Who is the rape victim? No rape victim here. If you mean the stripper who had accused 3 black men of rape when she was 14, had sex the night before the party and then decided to cash in by accusing 3 innocent white men of rape. The woman who was willing to send 6 innocent men to prison (3 black and 3 white) for rape that never happened so those men could possibly sodomized and killed for their “crime”. If thats the person Rush was talking about I think ho is getting off easy. This person is not a rape victim.
I thought Salon went down the tubes with the rest of the garbage, like Air America.
Here it comes! Right on time.
No proof that’s what she was, but that was certainly the implication that the media wanted you to draw when they pointed out that the DNA tests showed she had seamen from many men, none of whom were on the Duke Lacrosse team.
Turns out she wasn’t a rape victim. Just a ho.
