Fox Nation, Rush Limbaugh Peddle Gay Marriage-Pedophilia Link
Fox Nation joined Rush Limbaugh in promoting a bogus link between support for same-sex marriage and the acceptance of pedophilia.
During the January 7 edition of his radio show, Limbaugh referenced a National Review Online (NRO) column, which criticized an article in The Guardian for highlighting the growing debate over whether pedophilia should be classified as a distinct sexual orientation.
Limbaugh - who has previously accused the "gay lobby" of trying to downplay cases of child molestation - attempted to link the growing acceptance of pedophilia to the campaign to legalize same-sex marriage:
LIMBAUGH: There is an effort underway to normalize pedophilia... I want to take you back. I want you to remember the first time, wherever you were, that you heard about gay marriage, and I want you to try to recall your reaction -- your first gut reaction -- when you heard that some activists or somebody was trying to promote the notion of gay marriage. What was your initial reaction? "Aw, come on. It'll never happen. That's silly. What are you talking about?" There is a movement on to normalize pedophilia, and I guarantee you your reaction to that is probably much the same as your reaction when you first heard about gay marriage. What has happened to gay marriage? It's become normal -- and in fact, with certain people in certain demographics it's the most important issue in terms of who they vote for. So don't pooh-pooh. There's a movement to normalize pedophilia. Don't pooh-pooh it. The people behind it are serious, and you know the left as well as I do. They glom onto something and they don't let go.
[...]
Now, there were people -- I just want to remind you -- back during the early days of the effort to redefine what a family is, and in the early days of the gay marriage activists, there were people who said, "Well, if this becomes mainstream, then someday marrying your dog is gonna be okay, and then having two husbands and two wives in one family is gonna be okay, 'cause who can say it isn't?" There were others who predicted that pedophilia would be mainstream, and there was an outcry of opposition to this.
The same NRO column appeared on Fox Nation, along with an almost 14-minute clip from Limbaugh's radio show:
Fox has a history of attempting to tether pedophilia to LGBT equality. Fox's resident anti-LGBT pseudoscientist, Dr. Keith Ablow - who is a member of Fox News' "Medical A-Team" - has previously criticized the American Psychological Association (APA) for "caving into cultural pressure" to destigmatize homosexuality and pedophilia. And last August, Fox's Bill O'Reilly defended the right-wing smear that child molesters are more likely to be gay.
Fox's promotion of Limbaugh's comments is also surprising, considering that the network has previously supported the idea that pedophilia is a distinct sexual orientation. In a FoxNews.com article, Ablow warned that a person's sexual orientation could be shaped by environmental factors, such as men who become pedophiles after viewing sexualized images of children.

:-D
Yep, its a parallel universe alright!
lol..
As I said 'best way is to try looking round the internet ' I dont just watch Fox I admittedly dont watch MSNBC CBS and NBC as they are left wing and dont tell the truth .I dont believe that nowadays the truth lies somewhere in the middle ..it may have done once .... .
Taking news from a single-source (ie: FOX, as you mentioned) and taking it as fact (without consideration to other sources), is a bit 'brainwashy' for my taste.
Have you heard the term, "The truth lies somewhere in the middle"?
Take in news from multiple sources, and generate your OWN opinion, based on those multiple sources.
Watching FOX only, is a little one-track-minded, IMO.

There's that dadgum parallel universe popping up again.
BBC is extremely left wing and always has been so is CNN ....all the media have a bias it seems ..best way is to try looking round the internet ..I would rather watch Fox which at least makes an effort to be fair and balanced
Reuters.com, CNN.com, BBC.com, Aljazeera.com... those are my main sources for information.
I find that BBC, Reuters & Aljezeera are the most unbiased, although sometimes, their "media bias" shines through.
It's truly difficult to find a news source that's COMPLETELY unbiased.
They all seem to have one agenda or another.

"...Rush Limbaugh is a disgusting pig of a man."
You will get no argument from me on that.
I get my news from the BBC. They usually spend their time on actual news, and its interesting to see ourselves as others see us.

Does the medical community consider pedophilia to be a mental disorder?
*Yes. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has included pedophilia in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders since 1968.
Is pedophilia more common among men or women?
*Pedophilic disorder is far more common among men than women.
Are pedophiles typically attracted to children of the opposite sex, same sex, or is there no particular pattern?
*Most pedophiles have a definite preference for one sex or the other. But it's tough to estimate the percentage of pedophiles who are heterosexual, bisexual, and homosexual in their attraction to children.

With that said, Rush Limbaugh is a disgusting pig of a man. Republican he may be, but he DOES NOT represent all Republicans. He represents himself, period.
FOX News, if they indeed support Rush and his stance on this particular subject, and the article is factual in what it stated about FOX's past support of various items regarding the topic, are also a bunch of disgusting pigs, and someone should call them on it. I watch FOX from time-to-time, but no more than MSNBC, or CNN, HLN, etc, but I'll be watching more closely for this sort of thing, and if indeed true, will shut them off for good.
You guys know how I feel about child-protection...

It is an old line that has been disproved countless times.
He really needs to lose airtime and if he is truly as unpopular as people (on the right) claim, then why is he in the news and why does anyone even bother with this slime?

The inference is that all gay people are pedophiles, which we all know (or should) is ridiculous.
Gay people equate with Pedophiles? This is absurb. This mentality makes me ill. I think Rush needs to stop throwing rocks inside his glass bubble.
If all pedophiles are gay men, how is it that little girls get molested? Maybe Rush can explain that.
A link between gay folks and pedophila is so far from the truth it's ridiculous and not even worth acknowledging. What a ridiculous thing for him to try to say......it's been proven time and time again that there is no such link. Good Lord, what next from this man.
Agreed..I don't know how he gets air time and I don't know why anyone acts like he has any credibility. He is a very bad joke.
Is this Rush off of the drugs? He did have a drug issue......maybe he still does.
Indeed antagonistic.......absolutely.
Busy trying to "dig up dirt" on others when he has plenty himself. What a self-righteousness "SOB."

Doesn't he have anything BETTER to do?
Apparently not. There is a certain type of guy that loves to be antagonistic and thrives on the negative attention. I think he revels in it.
The best thing we can do is not feed the monster, imo.

I won't say they all live in a parallel universe, but Rush certainly does.
The republican leadership won't ever cross rush but, as I have so often noted, they live in a parallel universe.
That is the reason I won't be a republican....
lol
