In his latest crazy on-air rant, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh accused “the Obama Regime” of trying to unleash on red states a scandalous scourge of lesbian farmers.
“What they’re trying to do is convince lesbians to become farmers,” he told listeners.
There’s a specific sinister motive to the sapphic shift, Limbaugh claimed: Ruining conservative voting blocs.
“They are trying to bust up one of the last geographically conservative regions in the country; that’s rural America,” he said.
In fact, it may even be part of Obama’s plot to take away your guns.
“Rural America happens to be largely conservative. Rural America is made up of self-reliant, rugged individualist types. They happen to be big believers in the Second Amendment,” he said.
“So here comes the Obama Regime with a bunch of federal money and they’re waving it around, and all you gotta do to get it is be a lesbian and want to be a farmer and they’ll set you up. I’m like you; I never before in my life knew that lesbians wanted to be farmers.
“I never knew that lesbians wanted to get behind the horse and the plow and start burrowing. I never knew it. But apparently enough money [made] it happen, and the objective here is to attack rural states.”
Limbaugh’s atrocious Aug. 17 rant — which just started gaining traction online over a week later — was sparked by the Iowa LGBT Rural Summit. For the Des Moines event, the USDA collaborated with LGBT groups to educate the gay community about a variety of policies, including “rural housing loans, community facility grants and bullying,” according to the event website.
The Washington Free Beacon fanned the flames of lunacy with an Aug. 16 article titled “Feds Holding Summits for Lesbian Farmers.”
“The all-day summit will teach lesbian and transgender hillbillies how to get subsidies from the government like rural housing loans and ‘community facility grants,'” the conservative paper wrote.
Limbaugh took that and ran with it.
“You sit in there and laugh. Okay, go ahead and laugh at it, but I’m telling you what they’re doing,” he said.
Twitter took the shock jock’s advice and had a nice hard laugh at his expense.
“#limbaugh says federally paid lesbian farmers could invade your town! And we’re growing zucchini, people! Lots and lots of zucchini,” tweeted comic Dana Goldberg.
“Rush Limbaugh is back on hillbilly heroin, again, Lesbian farmers. Won’t they get dirt in their Birkenstock’s? Twit,” said another Twitter user.
“Rush Limbaugh is correct, btw, after work I head straight for the fields. Can’t stop won’t stop,” wrote journalist Meredith Bennett-Smith.
