Rush Limbaugh Calls Herman Cain Accuser’s Son A ‘Brownshirt’ For Encouraging Mom To Come Forward
Rush Limbaugh may have had a little too much fun on his program yesterday making fun of Sharon Bialek, the first woman to publicly accuse Herman Cain of sexual harassment, and the fact that, to him, her name sounded like the phrase “buy a lick.” This morning he responded to the inevitable criticism by calling CNN reporter Carol Costello his “stalker” for criticizing him and escalating his animosity towards Bialek– and her 13-year-old son, who he argued President Obama would be proud of for being a “tattle tale” by supporting his mother.
Insisting that all the blame for the “buy a lick” joke should fall on the shoulders of attorney Gloria Allred, Limbaugh insisted he was merely trying to correctly pronounce Bialek’s name. “There ought to be a clip where Allred tells the press how to pronounce her name,” he argued, adding, “If ‘Bialek’ is not how you pronounce the name, you have to go to Allred, not me.”
He then played a clip of Bialek discussing her decision to go public with her accusation, in which she explained that she consulted her son about the matter and he was happy to support and encourage her to go public. “You don’t think Obama loves hearing this,” Limbaugh suggested, “a 13-year-old tattle-tale.” Calling him a “brownshirt preview,” he claimed the child was typical of the liberal mentality for encouraging his mother to “tattle.”
To round out the comments, Limbaugh turned to criticism he received from Costello, “who is my own stalker,” and noted that, despite the media firestorm, Gallup polls are showing that “nobody is paying attention to all this,” and Cain’s campaign so far has been surviving.
