Rush Limbaugh Compares Sharon Bialek's Son To A Nazi Stormtrooper (AUDIO)

Rush Limbaugh

Rush Limbaugh escalated his attack on Sharon Bialek, the woman who has publicly accused Herman Cain of sexual harassment, on his Tuesday show. Limbaugh even compared Bialek's teenage son to a Nazi.

Bialek made the allegations during a Monday press conference with her lawyer, Gloria Allred. Limbaugh drew attention on the same day for making a slurping sound while discussing the correct pronunciation of Bialek's name (he pronounced it "Buy-A-Lick," a made the sound to mime a licking noise).

On Tuesday, Limbaugh played an interview that Bialek did with CNN's Carol Costello. Costello brought up Limbaugh's Monday soundbite, saying that the host had made a "not very attractive sound with his mouth" in referring to Bialek.

Limbaugh cried foul, choosing to focus on Costello's other claim that he had mispronounced Bialek's name. He said that he was only pronouncing it as Allred had. "I'm used to it, folks," he said of the criticism.

Limbaugh also attacked Bialek's son. In the CNN interview, she told Costello that her son had encouraged her to make her allegations public. "You think Obama doesn't love hearing this?" Limbaugh said. "A 13-year-old tattle-tale. I mean, that is a brownshirt preview here. Exactly what big government types like."

The brownshirts, of course, were the members of the Nazi paramilitary group known as the Stormtroopers.

A relative unknown upon his entry into the race, Herman Cain has experienced promising numbers in both name recognition, as well as the new metric of "positive intensity." These upward trends have since propelled him to the top of many GOP primary polls.

In late June, a Gallup poll showed Cain's name recognition up 25 percent from earlier in the year, to 46 percent. Meanwhile, his positive intensity score stood at 24, among the highest of any candidate in the field.

Enthusiastic supporters have also helped Cain take impressive wins at a variety of early straw poll events. He's taken the top spot at the Western Conservative Summit, the Georgia GOP Straw Poll in August (Georgia is Cain's home state), and more recently in Florida and Chicago.

Cain also won a February straw poll at an Arizona Tea Party event, beating Ron Paul in a vote among attendees, though at the time he was the only officially declared 2012 candidate involved.

The contrast between the Penn State situation and the Herman Cain situation is stunning. With Penn State, we're all outraged that nobody came forward and reported a sexual assault. With Cain, half the country is outraged that people ARE coming forward.

Rush Limbaugh is to political commentary what Jerry Sandusky is to mentoring young people.

I am having a hard time with the creditability of Sharon Bialek’s allegations and its impact on the public’s speculations about the other accusations.
There seems to be so many unanswered questions. She had such a vivid and detailed memory of what she was wearing, how many glasses of wine she had and exactly the sequence of how the groping occurred, however she cannot provide or recall any of the following specifics.
• What was the exact date in July 1997?
• Can anyone collaborate she was in Washington in July 1997?
• Does she have a record of the room stay at the hotel?
• Did she rent a car in Washington and does she have a copy of the car rental agreement.
• What was the name of the Italian Restaurant?
• Who paid for the Dinner and if she did, is there a copy of the check or credit card Receipt.
• Dose she remember the color or type of car the groping occurred in.
• What airline did she fly to Washington on and does she have any documentation from the flight.
If she did not save any of her receipts, she could request copies from the Credit Card Companies, Hotel, and airline etc.
The problem I see is if we give her story credibility, we assume the other alleged claims involved physical contact, at worst; the other assertions could have been no more than a misconstrued comment or look.

Anyone who wants to see Herman Cain President has already demonstrated that they're a crackpot with a thinking disorder, so please... Continue. I'm enjoying it.

Exactly what big-government types like? A 13 year old gives advice and is mocked (as usual) by Limabuh? I wonder if Limbaugh is one of those child-molesters in secret? He probably secretly mocks those sexually raped children that assistant lowlife coach molested. Time to bring out the snipping scissors and de-masculate this one and the assistant coach. Limbaugh and Cain are cut from the same cloth.

I listen to Rush. I did not hear this statement. He was critical of the mother who consulted a 13-year old for advice. I simply did not hear the remark. Perhaps the remark never happened. Interesting what people filter to achieve the explanation they will accept.

If the son is a "nazi stormtrooper" then obviously, Limbaugh must be his commanding officer.

Hey Rush, there's a color made just for you. As Bugs Bunny would say, "What a Maroon!"

There isn't a shred of humanity left in this guy who has sold his soul for cash. He will say anything, no matter how vile, and he's so corrupted, he thinks it's appropriate.

This isn't the first time he's picked on children.

Does anyone in their right mind give a serious hoot to anything, including drool that spills out of the mouth of Limbaugh?
09:22 AM on 11/11/2011
Unfortunately, yes. Its all the mindless drones with blinders on. this guy hasn't made a coherent thought since he QUIT taking hydrocodone. This guy is so far out of touch, he doesn't know what to say.

If most sensible people consider Rush Limbaugh's tasteless, juvenile, and hyper-critical, just imagine what they would feel about the Dittoheads, his loyal followers.
