    At least one of the women said that the 2008 lawsuit gave her the courage she hadn't had.

    Frankly, I don't think either of us has the right to judge anyone, especially a woman in this society, for taking a long time to come out about such an intimate violation- unless you happen to be a rape victim yourself. I'm not one.

      It's curious enough in itself why Limbaugh cares enough to try to cast doubt on the accusers. Why not just let the legal process play out?

        I think there's a reason this guy says he "felt like a pimp"....

        Source: Today.com


        A former employee of NBC Entertainment who says he worked for Bill Cosby has come forward to claim he regularly brought young women to Cosby's dressing room. He also says he was asked to send money to multiple women over the years.

        Frank Scotti claims that as Cosby's right-hand man, it was once his job to guard the door after bringing young women to Cosby's dressing room in Brooklyn, but that he doesn't know what went on behind closed doors.

        "I felt like a pimp,'' Scotti, 90, told Kate Snow in an interview that aired on TODAY Monday. "Every time he had somebody I had to watch, I had the girl stay there. I felt dirty."

        Could it be, that if he did what he claims to have done, that he WAS acting like a pimp?
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          Cause Limbaugh is not a news commentator -- he's an entertainer who thrives on controversy.

            I don't think he is trying to cast doubt on the accusers.

              And here's the part where I get dogpilled...

              It seems to me that Limbaugh has a real ax to grind against women who feel wronged by men- from calling that woman campaigning for birth control a slut, to claiming feminism causes small penis sizes, to his bizarre apologia for "seduction." I'm sooooooo surprised he's been married four times or whatever the number is.

                It's all about the ratings.

                    Sandra Fluke outed herself as a Edited by a Moderator slut (she basically admitted to having sex so often that she couldn't afford the contraceptives). His stance against militant feminism is spot on. And I have no idea about the "seduction" thing. Never heard that one.

                      I haven't listened to Rush in AGES, but even when I did, he wasn't claiming to be in the news business, but claimed to be an entertainer.

                      "I combine two elements: irreverent humor and serious discussion of issues," says Limbaugh, who doesn't know when he'll stop. "People tune in for both. But the key is having credibility. This has led to critics saying I am just an entertainer. I'm proud to be an entertainer. This is showbiz. At the same time, I believe everything I say."

                        Presumably for the same reason that the majority of commentators care enough to treat Cosby like he's already been convicted.

                          Fluke does seem to have a crappy argument for state funded birth control, I'll grant you that. Limbaugh's remarks about her were still pigish and say a lot more about him than about her.

                          You actually believe being raised by a feminist causes small penis size?

                            The legal process will not reveal any truth unless someone has proof. What it will reveal is who gets what or who does not. No information on what really happened. Personally I have problems with all the hype and attention. Even attention from me.
                            Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

                                The statement that Limbaugh was objecting to,
                                “the act of knowingly, actively and voluntarily agreeing explicitly to engage in sexual activity.” The guidelines explicitly state that “the absence of ‘no’ does not mean ‘yes,’” and that “it cannot be implied or assumed even in the context of a relationship”
                                doesn't preclude that kind of thing if you're being respectful and listening to the other party. Either Limbaugh badly misreads the statement or he's talking about the kind of "seduction," in the Blurred Lines video. If he's really as smooth as he thinks he is, then there should be no reason that straight up asking somebody if they want to have sex is "taking the romance out of everything." But then again, I'm just a virgin beta male, so maybe I don't get it.
