Pissing off subversives~Trump says he will award Rush Limbaugh with Medal of Freedom

[Issa]

Just out of curiosity, what has Limbaugh contributed towards this country? This sounds more like Trump giving out the highest civilian award just because he feels sorry he has cancer.

BTW.................here's what the medal is.....................

Presidential Medal of Freedom - Wikipedia

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is an award bestowed by the president of the United States. The Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal are the highest civilian awards of the United States. The presidential medal seeks to recognize those people who have made "an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors".[2] The award is not limited to U.S. citizens and, while it is a civilian award, it can also be awarded to military personnel and worn on the uniform.

It was established in 1963 by President John F. Kennedy,[3] superseding the Medal of Freedom that was established by President Harry S. Truman in 1945 to honor civilian service during World War II.

Well, like him or not, Limbaugh pretty much created talk radio. It's because of Rush that AM talk radio even exists. If you say "talk radio" to a group of 5 people one of them will say at some point they listened to Rush. He should be recognized for that.

NEVER listened to him, I heard of him and his thoughts just some of the folks at foxnews....they are wackos.

Good for Trump. I cannot stand Limbaugh, but he has been around for a long ass time. I still remember listening to him on the Armed forces radio in Okinawa and Korea back in the early 90s.

President Trump is a genius. ‬And a Patriot. ‬

"Rush pretty much created talk radio"? Really? Are you so stupid or young that you have never heard of Paul Harvey?

Not the same.

Paul Harvey was a great commentator.
He could call a turd a turd without using the word itself.
In such a way that you understood who was doing wrong and what the wrong was.
But his programs were short-form.
He did not take phone calls.
I loved his programs.

He was in the mold of Lowell Thomas (but his smiles were more frequent).
A neat anti-Gabriel Heatter (who seldom smiled despite his eternal "There's Good News Tonight!).

If you want to find who originated what most people consider "talk radio" you need to look to Joe Pyne and his sort...

Pyne was one of the first, if not the actual first, with "It's Your Nickel" in 1950.

(pay phones public booths cost 5-cents a call at that time).

Compared to Joe Pyne? Rush Limbaugh is a moderate.

But you still heard of him. Had to have listened to be sure he wasn't your cup of tea.

I wouldn't listen to that trash I came to this country to be a better person not a racist regressive ****. Those that listen to him or any other talk shows have too much time on their hand and that's why they believe all the fear mongering and they live in paranoia.

I'm trying to figure out why Republicans keep saying liberal heads are exploding.

They almost act as if Rush didn't deserve the honor.

Look at all the good he's done.

So he make fun of pre teen girls. So what?

And he pushed the Obama was born in Kenya narrative.

And, well, he did good stuff too.

Look at all the examples.

I find it odd when this award is given to professional athletes like Tiger Woods.

Rush just like Trump He is a demagogue, who seems to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

Who were these assholes appealing to?

Love him or hate him you've got to admit that he is one of the main reasons why we question media reporting these days.

He was right about that and continues to be right about it.

Now, continue your hate-fest.

[Mac-7]

Rush Limbaugh was the most significant and influential conservative of his time

After Reagan left office and before Fox News Limbaugh was a beacon of light for ordinary Americans who had nothing but the lying liberal media to inform them

Because of Limbaugh ordinary Americans realized that their belief in traditional values was not the minority opinion in America as the liberal media would have us believe

"Rush Limbaugh awarded Medal of Freedom
at State of the Union "



SNOWFLAKE REACTION...

 

[sartre play]

When we bestow a high honor on some one who deliberately expresses a very one sided point of view, finds only the negative when talking about one party, and only the positive with regards to his party of choice. anger & negativity not my choice for medals of honor.

 

[sartre play]

And would feel the same way if the award was given to some one from the other party who pushed only negative thinking in regards to opposing party.

He’s one of the main reasons the right wing has descended into their bubble. The distrust of outside information has led to a bunker mentality where they reinforce their own ideology.

If there was any doubt, Trump is just doing this to troll. Just look at this thread for evidence.

It worked on you.

Typical Rush hater.......I would never listen to a word he says because he does nothing but spew hatred and racism.

Yes, If Democrats had given Margret Sanger this award the rest of America might be as upset as the Dems and snowflakes are over this deserved award.

Snowflakes, this feeling of outrage and disgust that 'THIS PERSON' received 'THIS" award is how the vast majority of America felt when Barry received the Nobel Peace Prize for 'Potential'.
