On Tuesday, radio superstar Rush Limbaugh attended the State of the Union address at the Capitol. There, one day after he announced he had advanced lung cancer, the 69-year-old Limbaugh was awarded the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Liberals’ heads exploded. They trotted out all the same old saws to decry the move, especially their favorite, that Limbaugh is racist.
So we popped over to Wikipedia to see who various presidents had awarded with the prize. There, we saw the recipients were broken into 18 categories. Here are 17 of them:
1. Arts
2. Business and economics
3. Computing
4. Education
6. History
7. Humanitarian
8. Law
9. Media
10. Medicine
11. Military
12. Philanthropy
13. Philosophy
14. Politics and government
15. Religion
16. Science
17. Space exploration
18. Sports
But even before we started reading through the names, category No. 5 caught our eye.
5. Hatemongers.
Wait, there’s a whole category of “hatemongers” who have won the Presidential Medal of Freedom?! Right away we click on that link. Here’s what it says:
“Rush Limbaugh, 2020.”
Seriously. See the picture above.
Wikipedia is a ridiculously biased site. But calling Limbaugh a “hatemonger” is really beyond the pale.
