If you're going to have an opinion on Rush Limbaugh - atleast have an educated one:
Rush Limbaugh Quotes:
"Why should Blacks be heard? They're 12% of the population.
Who the hell cares." -Rush Limbaugh
[to black skinned african tribal leaders]
‘take that bone out of your nose and call me back.’
Rush Limbaugh
"When you strip it all away, Jerry Garcia
(former Grateful Dead guitarist) destroyed his life on
drugs. And yet he's being honored, like some godlike
figure. Our priorities are out of whack, folks."
(which is increasingly hilarious seeing as Rush said this line while he was on his own drug addiction)
"Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive
women easier access to the mainstream of society."
If we are going to start rewarding no skills and stupid people--
I'm serious, let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely
no knowledge whatsoever to do--let the stupid and
unskilled Mexicans do that work
"The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get
a liquor store and practice robberies"
"The only way to reduce the number of nuclear weapons is to use them."
"We have more trees in this country today than when the Declaration of Independence was written. The wackos will tell you that's impossible."
"There are more acres of forestland in America today than when Columbus discovered the continent in 1492"
Limbaugh: "The poorest people in America are better off
than the mainstream families of Europe" (radio, 1993).
Reality: The poorest 20 percent of Americans can purchase
an average of $5,433 worth of goods with their income.
Meanwhile, in Germany, the average person can purchase
$20,610 worth of goods; in France, $19,200;
in Britain, $16,730 (World Development Report 1994,
published by the World Bank).

But yeah - you're right. Rush Limbaugh knows all and he is mighty and worthy of praise
As a recovering Rushbaby - i can tell you one thing - the man is full of hat gas. Even david letterman agree's
I challenge you to try and call into Rush's show and question him about any of the aforementioned quotes
my guess is the same thing will happen to you that happened to me
he refused to answer it on the premise that "i've already talked about this" and he hung up on me.
He's a big fat coward.
Anyone who takes anything he has to say is just as stupid now - as i was when i used to.
Rush Limbaugh will say anything to make buck. Thats fine, whatever, but he DOES have to live up to what he says.
He's a racist, a bigot, and a homophobe.
End of story.
