Rush Limbaugh has been providing us with no shortage of choice quotes throughout the Herman Cain sexual harassment scandal. So far, he’s reminded us that women can lie, liberals are racist, and that conservatives should defend Cain no matter what. Thus, it should be no surprise that he had quite a bit to say on today’s big press conference with the fourth Cain accuser.

Appearing this afternoon on Fox News, Herman Cain advisor and self-described “good friend” Niger Innis defended the beseiged Republican presidential candidate, saying he had been the victim of racist stereotyping in the midst of his sexual harassment scandal. “I’m very disturbed by what I see as nothing more than an attempted character assassination using one of the more vicious charges and stereotypes — which I call the mandingo stereotypes, that being the overly sexed black-skinned, black man that has been used for a couple of centuries in our country.”

“I think what these attempted character assassins don’t realize is they underestimate the decency of the American people,” Innis continued. “And they underestimate the ability of the American people to read past this BS, that’s exactly what I think it is.”

Happening Now anchor Jon Scott noted that Karl Rove said he thought the allegations were going to take a serious toll on the former Godfather Pizza CEO.

“I would caution Karl, I would caution members of the political elite, that sexual harassment today is being used as a powerful political weapon the same way that the race card today is used as a powerful political weapon,” Innis exclaimed. “And I would caution these elites in the conservative media, as well as the liberal media — do you really think it’s just going to end? This political tool is just going to end with Herrman Cain? I caution them to be careful about what they say.”

Rush Limbaugh has some strong words to say about the new claims against Herman Cain of unwanted sexual contact with a woman when he was head of the National Restaurant Association. As Limbaugh explains it: “Political correctness, which is censorship, has now spread to behavior — not just speech. It’s spread to behavior.”

This certainly seems like an odd statement from any empirical or epistemological standpoint, as a normal assumption of society is that behavior should be more subject to regulation and restrictions than speech, which by itself is less prone to harm another person.

Also on the subject of speech, Limbaugh previously attacked the woman, Sharon Bialek, by mocking her name on Monday. He pronounced it as “Buy-A-Lick,” making a slurping sound, seemingly imitating oral sex.

“I have to tell you something. We’ve had liberalism roaring through our culture for 50 years. At times it has been sneaky, slow, deliberate. At other times it has roared its way through,” Limbaugh said Tuesday.

“And as I listen to earnest journalists in their 30’s and 40’s describe what Herman Cain is said to have done — no, sorry, when I listen to journalists in their 30’s and 40’s unable to explain what Cain has done, but treating it as through it is reprehensible — I sadly conclude, we’re losing this.

“Political correctness, which is censorship, has now spread to behavior — not just speech. It’s spread to behavior.

“And sexual harassment now is a political weapon, and it’s anything anybody wants it to be. You don’t need a specific allegation. All you need is the appearance of impropriety, and that’s where this gets dicey, because with this roaring liberalism through our culture, what appears to be inappropriate, in the old days was nothing!”
