GOP Hypocrisy

Rush Limbaugh Won the Medal of Freedom for Hating the ‘Right’ Way — Look at His Worst Quotes

Appalling.

We don’t wish cancer upon anyone. To that end, we hope Rush LImbaugh recovers and learns from the experience.

We do, however, closely guard the highest civilian award that our nation bestows. We want to make sure that everyone is worthy, to maintain the Medal’s unique character for decades.

Want to know the type of people that won the medal? People like Steven Hawking, Mother Theresa, Jackie Robinson, Rosa Parks, Pope John Paul II …and about a hundred more. It is quite the list. People are taken from all walks of life, from science, literature, philosophy, economics, sports and entertainment. The only unifying factor being a career that bettered the United States and mankind generally.

Rush Limbaugh is now on the list.

We do not exclude partisan Republicans from the medal any more than we exclude partisan Democrats. But when a partisan like Rush spends his entire life inflaming the hatred that “his group” had for any group with which he disagreed, that’s entirely different.

Of course, we’re under Trump now, and similar to when presidential pardons took on a previously unconscionable application, the Medal of Freedom is now on the same path. Like pardons, the Medal of Freedom will be used solely to reward people Trump calls “Great,” meaning they favor Trump.

Rush “favors” Trump, because he and Trump live to hate others. They look to divide, and inflict pain upon “enemies.” Trump gave the Medal of Freedom to a man who said: (Compiled by the New York Times)

On native Americans:

Holocaust? Ninety-million Indians? Only four million left? They all have casinos, what’s to complain about?

Feminism:

Feminism was started so that unattractive ugly broads could have easy access to the mainstream.

On Sandra Fluke, the law student who testified that birth control should be covered by health insurance.

What does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute.”

On the NAACP

The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.

On black athletes in the NFL

The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and Crips, without any weapons. There, I said it.

*

Yes, “there” he indeed said all of it, all of it dripping with hatred for anyone or group that is not right-wing, conservative white men. Rush got rich of inflaming Right-Wing hatred before Trump ever made plans to run on that hatred as a platform. Trump and Rush represent the “entitled white man’s” last stand, brothers in arms.

“Hate” is not what the Medal of Freedom is supposed to honor.

Peace, y’all
