I need a conservative to explain exactly what did Limbaugh do to earn

He did not start "talk radio on a national basis," where do you people come up with this stuff, right wing talk radio dates back to the 1930's, Father Coughlin was the example I gave, and prior to Limbaugh there existed conservative talking heads, Joe Pyne comes to mind, who even I admit could be funny.

What Limbaugh was was one of the first to realize with the end of the Freedom Doctrine he could make millions presenting it all as a melodrama, easy format, which allowed him to demonize and personally attack individuals in a safe environment, nobody gets to ask questions on talk radio. Roger Ailes imported the same techniques to TV, "fair and balanced," it was never about balanced, rather a format giving people what they wanted to hear

I have yet to hear from a conservative who can offer a logical reason why Limbaugh got this award


limbaugh really has been orders of magnitude larger than those guys, groundbreakingly so. you don't respect it. that's fine. but know your facts, and don't fool yourself.
 
President Medal of Freedom?

It is unfortunate the person has been stricken with cancer, and even overlooking his thirty years of pimping hate to make himself a millionaire, what has he done, contributed, accomplished, etc., that would qualify him as a recipient of the Medal of Freedom?

According to the White House website the Medal of Freedom is awarded "for especially meritorious contribution to (1) the security or national interests of the United States, or (2) world peace, or (3) cultural or other significant public or private endeavors." Which of this criteria did Limbaugh meet?

Can a conservative answer the question

LIMBAUGH sponsors dozens of charities.


What did Robert DiNero do???
 
So you can not answer the question?

Your Messiah just awarded the guy the Medal of Freedom and you have no clue other than Obama did something that explains why Limbaugh was given the honor?

I suspect it was to piss off people like you, so a result, n'est ce pas,?
 
You think Limbaugh's contributions have been "meritorious", and we do not. Life goes on.

Now it is an attempt to dismiss what I wrote by labeling it a "strawman," seen that one before, thinks doing such saves him face in his inability to invalidate anything I offered, predictable, and always unsuccessfully

And the rest again is the usual boring personal crapola, I really think "truthie" believes if he extends his posts with inane insults it makes it look like he understand the content he can't deal with, again, always entertaining, but now it is getting trite, moving on, already seen anything "truthie" has to offer

Poor Arsecheese, still stuck on arrogant, insufferable moron. No shit-for-brains, you don't get to fabricate your own version of reality and will continue to get bitch slapped with your partisan hack bullshit.

What a whiny punk you are. :laugh:

There is nowhere anyone could from there, "rush always provided the objective evidence," beautiful, here's a taste of Limbaugh's "objective evidence" (https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/list/?category=&ruling=pants-fire&speaker=rush-limbaugh), and there are hundreds of others

And thinking about it, I beleive you are another one who told us Trump never lies, which now seems appropriate

^Another pile of illiterate bile lacking factual content. Arsecheese is quite full of it.
 
If I were a leftist....I would also be attempting to deflect away from this latest asskicking handed out by Donald J. Trump. Acquitted from the impeachment hoax....killed it in the State of the Union which embarrassed the hell out of the do nothing democrats...directing his attention to winning the black vote which the democrats have ignored for years......with the latest JOB numbers doubling the projected numbers.

Yeah...lefts TALK ABOUT RUSH......:laugh: Its been a baddddddddddddd 6 months for the democrats.

you liking him isn't a prerequisite

ontroversies and claims of inaccuracy
The July–August 1994 issue of Extra!, a publication of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), alleges 50 different inaccuracies and distortions in Limbaugh's commentary.[171][172] Comedian Al Franken, who later became a Senator, wrote a satirical book (Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations) in which he accused Limbaugh of distorting facts to serve his own political biases.[173]
Of Limbaugh's controversial statements and allegations they have investigated, Politifact has rated 84% as ranging from "Mostly False" to "Pants-On-Fire" (a signification for extremely false), with 5% of Limbaugh's contested statements rising to the level of "Mostly True" and 0% rated "True".[174] These debunked allegations by Limbaugh include suggestions that the existence of gorillas disproves the theory of evolution, that Ted Kennedy sent a letter to Soviet General Secretary Yuri Andropov seeking to undercut President Reagan, that a recent lack of hurricanes disproves climate change, and that President Obama wanted to mandate circumcision.[175][176][177][178]
Limbaugh has been criticized for inaccuracies by the Environmental Defense Fund. A defense fund report authored by Princeton University endowed geoscience professor Michael Oppenheimer and professor of biology David Wilcove lists 14 significant scientific facts that, the authors allege, Limbaugh misrepresented in his book The Way Things Ought to Be.[179] The authors conclude that "Rush Limbaugh ... allows his political bias to distort the truth about a whole range of important scientific issues."
On October 14, 2011, Limbaugh questioned the U.S. military initiative against Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), based on the assumption that they were Christians. "They are fighting the Muslims in Sudan. And Obama has sent troops, United States troops to remove them from the battlefield, which means kill them." Upon learning about the accusations leveled against Kony, which included kidnapping whole schools of young children for use as child soldiers, Limbaugh stated that he would research the group.[180][181] The show's written transcript on his website was not changed.[181][182]
Michael J. Fox
In October 2006, Limbaugh said Michael J. Fox, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, had exaggerated the effects of his affliction in a political TV advertisement advocating for funding of stem cell research. Limbaugh said that Fox in the ad had been "shameless" in "moving all around and shaking", and that Fox had not taken "his medication or he's acting, one of the two".[183] Fox said "the irony of it is I was too medicated",[184] adding that there was no way to predict how his symptoms would manifest. Limbaugh said he would apologize to Fox "bigly, hugely ... if I am wrong in characterizing his behavior on this commercial as an act."[185] In 2012, Fox said Limbaugh in 2006 had acted on "bullying instincts" when "he said I faked it. I didn't fake it.", and said Limbaugh's goal was to have him marginalized and shut down for his stem cell stance.[186]
Phony soldiers
Main article: Phony soldiers controversy
In 2007, Media Matters' reported that Limbaugh had categorized Iraq War veterans opposed to the war as "the phony soldiers". Limbaugh later said that he was speaking of Jesse MacBeth, a soldier who falsely claimed to have been decorated for valor but, in fact, had never seen combat. Limbaugh said Media Matters was trying to smear him with out-of-context and selectively edited comments. After Limbaugh published what he claimed was the entire transcript of phony soldiers discussion, Media Matters said that over a minute and 30 seconds of the transcript was omitted without "notation or ellipsis to indicate that there is, in fact, a break in the transcript."[187][188] Limbaugh said during the minute and a half gap Media Matters had pointed out, he was waiting for relevant ABC news copy on the topic, and the transcript and audio edits were "for space and relevance reasons, not to hide anything."[189] Senator Harry Reid and 41 Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, signed a letter asking the CEO of Clear Channel to denounce Limbaugh. Instead, he gave the letter to Limbaugh to auction. It raised over $2 million for the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation.[190]
Sandra Fluke
Main article: Rush Limbaugh–Sandra Fluke controversy
On February 29, 2012, Limbaugh, while talking about contraceptive mandates, included remarks about law student Sandra Fluke as a "slut" and "prostitute". Limbaugh was commenting on Fluke's speech the previous week to House Democrats in support of mandating insurance coverage for contraceptives. Limbaugh made numerous similar statements over the next two days, leading to the loss of 45[191] to "more than 100"[192] local and national sponsors and Limbaugh's apology on his show for some of his comments. Susan McMillan Emry co-organized a public relations campaign called Rock the Slut Vote as a response to Limbaugh's remarks.[193]
