First off Rush deserves this award. Secondly it was a nice thing for Trump to do. Third it was an excellent in your face to the left wing media which Rush has provided a counterbalance to. "It’s awarded by the president to those “who have made exceptional contributions to the security of national interests of America, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors." https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/4665020002
It was awesome watching his reaction when the President told him he'd be getting the Medal of Freedom. I can't think of a better patriot to give such an award to.
I'd complain about a racist piece of **** getting an award, but them I remember he'll be dead soon so I smile.
Exactly. But it's not even about the snub in the left's face. Rush actually fits the mold of the kind of person who should receive this award.
Sorta, while America has long celebrated fat racists lazy war drafting pieces of shits, times have changed.
You think? I thought you agreed with Rush getting the award? Why are shocked at the things he's said? I was simply quoting el rushbo.
“Look it, let me put it to you this way. The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”
“You just gotta be who you are, and I think it’s time to get rid of this whole National Basketball Association. Call it the TBA, the Thug Basketball Association, and stop calling them teams. Call ’em gangs.”
“Holocaust? Ninety million Indians? Only four million left? They all have casinos — what’s to complain about?”
“To some people, bankers — code word for Jewish — and guess who Obama’s assaulting? He’s assaulting bankers. He’s assaulting money people. And a lot of those people on Wall Street are Jewish. So I wonder if there’s starting to be some buyer’s remorse there.”
Means nothing? You mean like when the Nobel Committee gave Barack a prize simply for becoming president? Then Obama became a warmonger to rival G.W. Bush.
Why? It is unfortunate the guy has been stricken with Cancer, and even overlooking his three decades of pimping hate to make himself a millionaire, explain to us exactly what has he done, accomplished, contributed to earn the award? As you noted, the recognition is given "for those who have made exceptional contributions to the security of national interests of America, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors," so explain to us which of these standards Limbaugh has met?
Thanks to the pioneering efforts of Rush, the political Left no longer has the equivalent of exclusive control over the collective 'voice' of the nation's media outlets. Hence Rush heavily contributed to the SPIRIT of Freedom of Speech.
Don’t forget quotes from trump, my favorite: “Really bad news! ... Too bad!” I don’t wish cancer, suffering or death on anyone but this “award” being given to this man is a slap in the face to the astronauts, soldiers, scholars, missionaries and others that sacrificed so much of themselves to better humanity.
