NeoCon Pundit: GI's Engaged In Torture Because They Watched Porn (re: Why Are NeoCons So Cluelss?) |
Another conservative finger-pointer seemed to get Rush Limbaugh all hot and
sweaty during his week-long quest to downplay the images as nothing more
than college fratboy games. Donna M. Hughes, on National Review online,
asked, "Why are we shocked by these images from Abu Ghraib, but when the
victims are women (or gay men) the images are called pornography or 'adult
entertainment'?" Yes, she was attempting to explain and excuse the
behavior-and give anti-porn crusader John Ashroft more grist for his twisted
mill-by claiming that the reservists might have engaged in these acts of
torture because they'd seen them played out in porn films. (Of course,
according to that logic we should ban The Passion of the Christ, because if
people played out the sadomasochistic scenes in that film, we'd be taking
down bloody crosses from every street corner.)
That got Limbaugh thinking and making some lurid confessions: "If you look
at these pictures, you cannot deny that there are elements of
homoeroticism .I've seen things like this on American websites. You can find
these if you have the passwords to these various porn sites, you can see
things like this. And [Hughes'] point was maybe these kids-the soldiers, the
guards, whoever, who are of a certain age group, who've grown up with access
to this are simply acting out what they've seen on these websites or
something, just for the fun of it, or maybe other reasons."
Another crackpot deflection regarding the brutality, to be sure. But now we
also know what Limbaugh was doing on those oxycontin-dazed nights: fumbling
for his passwords, looking for those homoerotic websites. Live and learn.

Y'know, he must still be taking those pills to be saying such
ridiculous things. I've heard other excuses: that it was feminism's
fault, that it was "Don't ask, don't tell," that it was exposure to
_Dumb and Dumber_ and other Farrely Bros. movies.
Here's my theory: they're the victims of abstinence education.
The sophmorish attitudes towards nudity, the clear lack of any real
understanding of just how cruel such sexual attacks can be, points to a
complete failure of any real education in sexuality coupled with the
kind of pent-up sexual rage that can only come from the self-denial and
self-loathing abstinence education creates.

Right wing radio appeals to butt fuggers. Where do you think Limbaugh
got that anal cyst.
