"Limbaugh: Democrats who set up George W. Bush to go to war with Iraq now organizing 'silent coup' against Trump"
"Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Friday wagged his finger at Democrats and U.S. intelligence agencies, arguing they tricked former President George W. Bush into the Iraq War and are now trying to do the same to President Trump."
"The deep state, Limbaugh asserted, planted fake evidence of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) to push Bush into the Iraq War and is now "making up evidence" of Russian ties to Trump."
"Nonprofit group On the Issues pointed out that the radio host, who recently received the Medal of Freedom from Trump, was a huge supporter of the Iraq War and the claims of WMDs as reasoning for the conflict. Limbaugh in 2006 announced his plan to 'get out the truth on weapons of mass destruction,' blaming 'the obdurate stubbornness and blindness of the Democrats and the drive-by media"

Does the hypocrisy on the right have any limits?
And the sad part is that there are a whole lot of conservatives out there that will believe this dribble

It's kind of ironic that this societal cancer creator has cancer now himself. Him kicking the bucket wouldn't change mutch though as someone will just grab the torch and go. So I'm just going to hope his brush with death may open new insights and heart. Maybe even see the error in his ways and try to change things. Yes, I am hoping for a miracle.
Cheney and Rumsfeld were Democrats? Damn, they get everywhere!

Who didn't see this coming in 2003?
War opponents were called traitors & terrorist sympathizers. Radio hosts like Rush said Democrats in general were on the 'wrong side of history.'
It was only a matter of time before it became "The Democrats' War." We now live in the post-truth era. Reality is whatever anyone wants it to be.
Exciting times.

Being lazy I would copy and paste Grind's previous answer to this if I could find it because it's a good one. Cliff Notes: Liberals have dominate the media, arts and entertainment for so long there was never an opportunity for someone like Rush to exist on the left. Rush and Fox News came about because conservative voices weren't represented in the media. As the internet has taken off and more right wing outlets existing Rush has carried far less influence than he once did.

Just to add - this is a preview for what we can expect in about a decade when it comes to Trump.
After the spell lifts, those who were most vocal about supporting Trump (the "he's better than Lincoln" crowd) will pretend that they never "really" thought he was a good candidate or President, but the Dems forced their hand by nominating Hillary.
They had no choice.

Looks like the tumor has spread to his brain. What a bloviating blowhard.
BTW, who else remembers when he hated Trump?

This is the second time in recent history that the GOP gave this lying bullhorn the highest civilian ward the Congress could give. The first time was under Reagan/Bush (go figure).
Books have been written documenting the out right lies, exaggerations and racist/sexist insults of Limbaugh. He has been paid VERY well for his propagandistic blathering. Despite his drug abuse and misogynist actions, he still has supporters. But God has punished him....first with his hearing and now with lung cancer. I just wish God would act a little faster, but then all good things come to those who wait.
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
