    Default "Rush Limbaugh Admits Presidential Medal Of Freedom Less Of An Honor"

    "Rush Limbaugh Admits Presidential Medal Of Freedom Less Of An Honor Knowing That Rosa Parks, Maya Angelou Also Received It"

    "Saying his initial enthusiasm had faded after learning about the award’s history, conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh conceded Wednesday that receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom was less of an honor knowing it had been bestowed upon Rosa Parks and Maya Angelou, too."

    “While I understand this medal represents the highest civilian honor possible, I was a bit disconcerted to discover this morning that I share this distinction with both a civil rights icon and a poet who gave a voice to black Americans,” said Limbaugh, who explained that he hopes people don’t doubt his integrity as he joins the ranks of the award’s previous recipients"

    "“I almost sent it back. But instead I have decided to keep my Medal of Freedom and let it stand as a testament to my willingness to tolerate others. I hope my acceptance of it will go some way toward reclaiming this honor from the Martin Luther Kings and Nelson Mandelas of the world.”

    Figured why not, I been on this site scanning posts for ten minutes and I have already seen "brietfart," "daily wire," "gateway," "World Net Daily, "infowars," and a whole array of weird right wing websites, so, why not, all seems the same

    You’ve seen all those sites in the last ten minutes here? That’s impressive. You go through the search function looking for them?

    This seems to fly in the face of the rest of his feigned dignity...

    Why doesn't he be really honest and just say it was a cheap photo-op trick so Trump the attention hound could do some grandstanding.

    It was TV showmanship. That is Trump's business. I was waiting for Johnny Olson to say " C'mon Down'. That black girl he gave a scholarship to has one at an advanced Charter school. She does not need it That is why she looked so confused.

    The onion LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Bunch of lies.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    So, what's your point? You knew it was garbage, we knew it was garbage, the whole world knew it was garbage. What's the point?
