Limbaugh channels his inner Santorum while waxing philosophic on rape and consent

“You can do anything, the left will promote and understand and tolerate anything, as long as there is one element,” the conservative talk show host said in comments posted online by Media Matters. “Do you know what it is? Consent.”

“If there is consent on both or all three or all four, however many are involved in the sex act, it’s perfectly fine, whatever it is. But if the left ever senses and smells that there’s no consent in part of the equation then here come the rape police. But consent is the magic key to the left.”

Limbaugh was attempting to make an argument for “moral standards” while at the same time dismissing the concept of consent. At one point, he even claimed “consent” somehow meant people could have sex with animals.

“If you could get the dog to consent with you, if you can get the horse to consent, we got no problem with it,” Rush said. “And they don’t! So morality has been boiled down to consent, is my point, and it’s true.”

It makes my skin crawl but I actually agree with him on something (stopped clock and all), it does require consent.

BUT, he neglects to point out (so I will) a minor cannot consent.
A horse (or sheep) can't consent.
A turtle can't consent. (Yes, I think I remember someone worrying about man/turtle abuse.)

Its like they go so far down the crooked path they eventually go in the right direction (?)

It's not just "fine", but one hell of a good time! Woohoo!

And the more he tries to justify it, the more it makes him look guilty.
