Sexual Harassment and Political Correctness are Political Tools of Left

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Well, even though I'm on the radio, folks, it's now obvious I have to be very, very careful with my gestures, because there's a camera in here. And that camera broadcasts this program all over the world. And any gestures deemed inappropriate by a bunch of feminazis, who knows where it could lead. You know what sexual harassment is? You know what it really is? It's a political tool. It is a political tool invented by the left. Just like political correctness is a political tool of the left to shut people down, sexual harassment is a political tool of the left to get rid of people, or to score money gains, whatever is most desired.

No, I'm not saying sexual harassment doesn't happen. I'm just saying that it doesn't happen a whole lot of times people admit to it happening. They'll make a settlement out of court rather than go to court to litigate it just to get rid of it. It's become an accredited way for malcontent women to score some money; there's no question about it. You're not gonna have big corporate human resource people admitting this because they don't have the guts to. But that's what it's become. Just like everything else there are genuine, legitimate cases of sexual harassment, and there are phony, fraudulent, fake ones. And the phony, fraudulent, fake ones are not about sexual harassment; they're about politics, pure and simple. It's undeniable. Don't even try to argue it with me, I'm not in the mood.

Telephone number is 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program. Don't tell me how to do the program. You don't like it, don't listen. E-mail address, ElRushbo@eibnet.com.

So I'm worried about the gestures. I make gestures here all the time. Remember when I was astounded at the Michael J. Fox ad in that Missouri Senate race that he did for Claire McCaskill? I'm an impersonator, and I was trying to describe for people what I saw Michael Fox do. I was not making fun of him. Of course that didn't matter, and that became a political tool as well. Can I tell you how tall Kathryn is, can I show you? I'm still trying to figure that out. Herman Cain is talking to a woman -- somebody has to explain this to me. He's talking to a woman, he says, "You're about my wife's height. She comes up to about here on me," and you put your flat hand on your chin, and the woman goes, "You cad, you get away from me. What kind of woman do you think I am?" I don't understand it. That's what he says the gesture was. He just said to her, "You know, you're about my wife's height," and he put his flat hand on his chin. This is how he described it last night on Greta Van Susteren's show on Fox.

CAIN: There's one incident that I recall as the day has gone on. She was in my office one day, and I made a gesture saying, oh -- and I was standing close to her -- and I made a gesture, "You are the same height as my wife," and brought my hand, didn't touch her -- up to my chin and said, "You're the same height as my wife," because my wife comes up to my chin, my wife of 43 years. And that was put in there as something that made her uncomfortable as part of the sexual harassment charge.

RUSH: All right, now, if that's indeed the way this went down, men in the workplace had better start wearing straitjackets. 'Cause I don't understand. I've been trying to think about this, I'm doing it right now, and if anybody at Politico is watching I know I'm running a real risk here. But, okay, yeah, my wife comes up to about here. Actually my wife in heels comes up to about here. What does that do to you? What does this make you think? (interruption) Oh, it's different here, it's different with the chin than above -- (interruption) really? Now, we have a resident sex-and-women expert on our staff. That would be Bo Snerdley. What is the difference in the two gestures? One here at the chin and one over the head, what does this mean? (interruption) Okay. Okay.

Here's the thinking on this from our resident female expert. You're saying that this could be interpreted by a woman as a sexual harassment gesture? Snerdley says -- this is the Official Obama Criticizer, by the way -- says that you make a gesture, and if you're fortunate to have the Dittocam, you're a subscriber to Rush 24/7 you can watch me do this, the telecast is going all over the world. Snerdley says that putting your hand right here by your chin like this to designate somebody's height -- what did you say? That it's close to the mouth. Okay, it's close to the mouth. So a woman might think that, "You know what, you're about the same height as my wife, here, my wife comes up to about here on me," and you put your hand on your chin, you're saying that there are women who could interpret that to be a request for a Lewinsky? I don't see it. I just don't see it.

You know, isn't it true, folks, when I turn the teaching on this program over to others, isn't it amazing what you learn? So depending on the kind of woman that Herman Cain was talking to, he could have been in her mind asking for a Lewinsky. Really? That's worth five figures? I'll tell you what this is, it is a stretch.

Seems to me that the early development of a pattern can be detected with the sexual harassment allegations vs Cain.
A similar thing happened to Clarence Thomas. Old, unproven allegations resurfaced with a vengeance.

Juan Williams, a black Democrat political analyst, recalls the Thomas witch hunt saying how vicious they were. He worked at an agency and was contacted during that search for dirt.

Liberal attacks against all conservative black men is, in fact, racist. Such action unveils the old fashion prejudice of days gone by that black men cannot control their sexual urges. Such a notion was at the core of some of the most heinous lynchings of black men for white rapes.

We see this same despicable dual standard and scapegoating in white Bill Clinton getting a pass, “It’s only sex.”

Liberals are the racists, not only seeing black men as animals incapable of controlling their passions, but viewing blacks as incapable of competing on a level playing field as evidenced by Affirmative Action.

Holding blacks down and keeping them dependent, “on the plantation”, is necessary for Liberals to maintain their coalition of power. Herman Cain, as a successful, self-made businessman, represents a major threat to that Liberal coalition.

I think it can be said that things like racism and sexual harassment, at one time a serious problem, have now become little more than a case of people wanting to have their cake and eat it to and wanting to punish people when they don’t do that.

[Navy Patriot]

Yep, listened to Rush's entire program today and he made the DemoRat/MSM/Femanazi/racecard cockroaches scurry for the dark when he uncovered them,..... again as usual.

We need a word for the worthless university degrees,....Edufraud?

After 10 years of service, I was accused of sexual harassment for a going away roast I gave to a long time employee and personal friend. She said they pulled her into an office before she headed out the door and asked if the roast had been harassment. She said, and HR admitted that she said, “No.” But the harassment policy says, “If an uninvolved third party overhears and believes the statement or conversation to be harassment, then it is harassment.” So, I was written up because an employee at the off-site luncheon (this is a quote) said, “I didn’t. But I think somebody else might take the comments as harassment.”

Not only did this company have a harassment policy that virtually nobody at our site except HR and the “Ethics Manager” had seen, but they had in place a manager of that policy. Now, I ask, if you give somebody the job to find harassment and then (most likely) a metric to meet; will they not find harassment?

Incidentally, they stopped visibly enforcing the policy when I pointed out that their reason for enforcement was to declare an offsite luncheon set up using company email a “company sponsored function.” I pointed out that if they declared my use of company email a “company sponsored function” then anybody who set up a bowling league or golf league meeting at the local bar (a frequent occurrence) was creating a “company sponsored function.” In which case the company was assuming liability for any deaths resulting from the drunk driving afterwards. The ethics manager disagreed, but the company lawyer apparently quashed the whole thing behind the scenes and it was quietly dropped.

You said it all

[jmaroneps37]

To help Herman send him something http://www.hermancain.com/
but also “like” him at facebook.com.
Facebook likes are a new way to count “buzz.” Starting from way back, Herman has increased his “likes” by 8% in just the last week. Mitts has a huge lead in “likes” but he has been running for a long time.

What have been the Sexual Harassment charges filed against the officers and ordinary employees of Politico?

Liberals are the racists, not only seeing black men as animals incapable of controlling their passions, but viewing blacks as incapable of competing on a level playing field as evidenced by Affirmative Action.

They are the sexists, too, by implying that although women are "equal" in the marketplace, they need "protection" (provided by liberals) because otherwise they can't compete head-to-head. I'm a woman and this nonsense drives me crazy.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Last time I looked Herman Cain had just under 300K “likes.” He’s at 312K now.

[SaraJohnson]

They have two newly minted departments of leftist oppression to beat Americans over the head with: homophobia and Islamabhobia.

Did you year one of the OWS herds had a young MAN raped by homos? In liberal circles, it is not only women who are raped. We are progressing towards equality?

[SaraJohnson]

Before feminazis enacted sexual harassment training and laws, women and honorable men handled perverts. Most men, back then, were honorable.

Men have the power to harm and the power to protect. How they are socialized makes the difference. Since feminism, male honor is taboo or politically incorrect. I hate feminists for doing that to women by cleansing men of public honor expectations.
