Limbaugh - is he EVER right about ANYTHING? (Letourneau/Jacko comparison)

[UdoKier]

I was listening to Franken this morning, and as usual got bored, so I turned over to Limpballs' program for a few minutes as I occasionally do.

Today, after spewing a bunch of nonsense about Bush's "class act" performance last night, he started to go off on how the "liberal media" are trying to tear down Michael Jackson BECAUSE HE'S RICH (and not because he has allegedly molested any number of young boys), and then said that the fact that one of the TV gossip shows broadcasting the Wedding of May Kay LeTourneau and Vili Fualaau proves that they APPROVE of a 39 year old woman molesting a 13 year old boy! Never mind that their affair was consensual, and that he is 22 now and she's 43!

He went on and on about how "liberals" would say (in a lisping voice) that "there are children now, and those children love like any other child, so we can't be judgmental."

HELLO LIMBOSEVIC! The woman served her time! The boy is an adult and still wants to be with her! What's to be judgmental about?


Then he said that liberals would still not approve of Michael even if he married one of his victims (apparently because he's rich).

Hey, if he could wait until these boys were 18, and they were stupid enough to want to be with a freak like Michael, it would be fine with me. The problem is that Michael may be molesting little boys. Little boys who are not yet mentally or emotionally ready for sex. That's why pedophelia and statutory rape are illegal, and highly unethical.

What Letourneau did to Vili was just as bad, but we cannot force him to hate her for it. She did her time, it's over.



It amazes me that Limpballs is so stupid that he can't even see the difference between a case of two adults (one with a criminal past) getting married, and a grown man who is accused of using his wealth, power, and alcohol to lure young boys into sexual situations that are NOT consensual.



Maybe "Jeff Christie" did more than just pose for photos with little boys, and that's why he sees nothing wrong with what Michael is being accused of?

1. It doesn't matter

if their relationship was consensual. It was statatory rape at the time. Do you understand that?

[UdoKier]

3. Of course I do. That's why she went to jail.

He's acting like their getting married now is the same as what Jacko might have done.

I totally think that what she did was wrong.

But nobody can really justify ragging on them now, since he's an adult and she did her time. If nothing else, they are very stubbornly "in love".

2. That is one seriously creepy picture. -eom

4. Franken's dittohead friend

I remember last year, prior to the election, Franken challenged his dittohead friend (Mark Luther?) to find an instance where Rush told the truth about something. I don't get to listen to Franken very often, but I remember the question coming up over a few weeks time - so, it took at least weeks, if Luther ever found anything.

5. that pic is weird

do you know the background to that pic?

who is the guy in the painting and why does this picture creep me out?

[UdoKier]

7. It's a pic from when Limbaugh was known as DJ "Jeff Christie"

Apparently he used to spin pop platters on some radio station. The pose is for a cerebral palsy fundraiser, I think.

9. thanks

what a weird painting to take a picture in front of.

6. If only someone could find the police records

For Jeff Christie in Pittsburgh in the early 70s (about the time that pic was taken). He was arrested for soliciting a male undercover police officer, and was fired from his job at a local radio station a couple of days later.

Wish I lived in Pittsburgh; that's before computers so it would require digging through TONS of paperwork. But supposedly, it happened and was in the local papers.

8. If it was in the papers, shouldn't it be on microfiche in the library?

Just wondering...

11. She should have been kept in jail at least until he turned 18

Prosecutors had asked the judge to sentence LeTourneau to 6 1/2 years in prison. But the mother of the boy, who was 13 at the time of the sexual relationship, asked the judge not to send LeTourneau to jail, saying she "is not a bad person, just a human being that made a terrible mistake...She said her son did not feel victimized and would only feel guilt if LeTourneau went to jail.

Superior Court Judge Linda Lau cited the "express wishes of the victim and his family" in opting for the short sentence.
But she ordered LeTourneau to stay away from the boy, and she warned that she would send LeTourneau to prison for seven years if she violated any of the conditions of her release. link

And the outcome?

...Letourneau was found in a parked car with the boy - at 3:00am...(P)olice (also) found $6200, a passport...clothing, beer and snack food...Letourneau gave a false name.

...Letourneau was speedily brought before the same judge and sentenced to serve her full 7 years...(A)dditional charges of child rape are being considered which will add to her sentence. link

If the judge had done taken the prosecution's advice the first time, the boy would have been free of Letourneau until he was a legal adult--and he wouldn't have knocked her up a second time. Well, all they have left is each other now, so leave them alone.
