Conservative commentators such as Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Michael Savage frequently employ rape metaphors when discussing progressives or progressive policies. For example, Beck said that New Yorkers are "being raped by [their] government," while Limbaugh, during a discussion of health care, told his listeners: "Get ready to get gang-raped again.

I'm a survivor of Domestic Violence. At several times I've been: beaten, strangled, nearly killed and I NEVER used the R-word because it's too important to toss out.
Yes, I had to have sex with that THING and I HATED every moment of it... but I STILL AGREED TO IT.
I agreed because he had to be "satisfied" to leave me alone for the night, I agreed because I thought I couldn't get out of the situation- whatever, but I DID agree.
Did I like it? Hell no! But it WASN'T Rape!
Rape is when you say: NO!

How. Dare. They. Honestly. Absolutely fucking disgusting. If any of these men were ever to experience a sexual assault (which I don't wish on anyone) then they would NOT be throwing around this word so freely. Just goes to show what selfish, ignorant, insensitive bastards they all are. Fucking trash. That's all they are. Complete and udder slime.

"Likewise you could legalize rape and call it the Civil Rights Act of 2009, and it would probably pass."
You mean the same way you can destroy fourth amendment rights and calling it the Patriot Act would get passed?

The way I see it, the word "rape" "gang rape" still has some shock value to their very jaded audience. It is also an attention getter for those mongoloids that think with their crotches first above all and have primative thought processes, so it's only natural for them to use this typw of language over and over. I am not surprised that Limbaugh used it quite a lot recently. I also doubt without the help of a pharmacy old Limbaugh is getting it up these days, so it's also projection.

Incredibly creepy. These men are not taking the implications of the word rape seriously. If they were to be fucked against their will, they'd probably not use this kind of language. This is really disrespectful to victims of sexual assault and shows a ridiculous amount of insensitivity.

And to the commenter who said "you idiots are too stupid to understand that they use the word rape in the" taking without consent" context". I think you should watch the video again. They clearly say "bend us over and nail us", they use the phrase "gang rape", create imagery of a crying and disheveled rape victim when describing the Statue of Liberty, and allude to Polanski. They are clearly implying rape as it relates to sexual assault. It's insensitive and manipulative.
