BLAST FROM THE PAST. Sunday, February 9, 2020 DONALD TRUMP AND RUSH LIMBAUGH: WELL, HITLER NEEDED GOEBBELS.

Instead of going through the TRUCKLOAD OF OFFENSIVE AND IRRATIONAL STATEMENTS THAT RUSH LIMBAUGH HAS REGURGITATED OVER YEARS, HERE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES FROM WIKIPEDIA TO REMIND US OF HIS LEGACY OF HATE AND IRRATIONALITY. 

Limbaugh claimed that the October 2018 United States mail bombing attempts were perpetuated as a false flag operation to draw public attention away from Central American migrant caravans. He reiterated these claims two weeks after the arrest of the primary suspect Cesar Sayoc, a registered Republican.

On his show, Limbaugh has said that the Christchurch mosque shootings of March 2019 may have been a false-flag operation. Limbaugh described "an ongoing theory" that the shooter was actually "a leftist" trying to smear the right. Despite providing no source or evidence, Limbaugh continued: "... you can't immediately discount this. The left is this insane, they are this crazy."

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". 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.

Limbaugh supported the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity as well as Trump's claims that he lost the popular vote due to voter impersonation by illegal immigrants.

In 2010, after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Limbaugh speculated on his show that eco-terrorists deliberately destroyed the oil well to justify President Obama's deepwater drilling moratorium. Limbaugh also claimed that the media was exaggerating the environmental effects of the disaster.

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." 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." 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.


Limbaugh is critical of feminism, which he views as advancing only liberals and not women in general. During an interview with Time magazine during the 1992 presidential election he stated that it "was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society." He has criticized Democratic congressmen calling for more women in Congress as hypocritical due to their opposition to female Republican candidates. He has also regularly used the term "feminazi", described by The New York Times in 1994 as one of his "favorite epithets for supporters of women's rights". According to Limbaugh in 1992, for certain feminists, the "most important thing in life is ensuring that as many abortions as possible occur." He also used the term referring to the half-million large 2017 Women's March as the "Deranged Feminazi March". He credited his friend Tom Hazlett, a professor of law and economics at George Mason University, with coining the term.


A real "INTELLECTUAL HEAVYWEIGHT." WELL, AT LEAST WE NOW KNOW THAT THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM CAN BE AWARDED TO ANYONE, FOR ANYTHING.
MAYBE WE SHOULD START A SCUMBAG CATEGORY.

Tell Congress: Expand and protect health care in the COVID relief bill!

 

DAVID - Millions of Americans lost their employer-sponsored health insurance during this pandemic — on top of the millions of Americans who already lacked insurance. There’s much work to be done to transform our fundamentally flawed health care system — but Congress can do a few things right now to help close the coverage gap. As the House and Senate negotiate on the contents of a final COVID relief package, they must hear from us on key provisions that could expand and protect health care for millions of Americans that need it the most: Expand the Affordable Care Act with a subsidy boost to make health care plans more affordable for people on unemployment, low-income families, and middle-class families that don’t qualify for assistance now; Incentivize red states to expand Medicaid, encouraging them to cover health care for up to 4 million low-income Americans who aren’t covered now; and, Expand emergency funding for Medicaid-provided home and community-based services to enable millions of disabled Americans of all ages to live safely at home. Join us in contacting your member of Congress and Senators: We need COVID relief now, and we need health care. Keep the provisions in the COVID relief bill that expand and protect health care for millions of Americans! Thanks for all you do, Bob Fertik

A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF "FASCIST" CHRISTIANS SUPPORTING TREASON OVER DUTY.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill.- I HOPE YOU ARE SINCERE IN YOUR DESIRE TO MOVE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AWAY FROM THE TRUMPIAN POLITICS OF HATE AND IRRATIONALITY. IT WOULD BE A DEFINITE IMPROVEMENT TO HAVE BOTH MAJOR PARTIES CARING ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

AS FOR YOUR FAMILY: I'M SURE TRUMP AND PUTIN ARE PLEASED. UNFORTUNATELY, YOU CAN'T SAVE FASCISTS AND FOOLS FROM THEMSELVES.

Family feud: GOP Rep. Kinzinger's relatives admonish him for impeachment vote.

JANE C. TIMM

February 16, 2021, 10:41 AM

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., is being shunned and scorned by relatives after voting to impeach Donald Trump, according to a letter published in The New York Times this week.

Eleven members of his family signed a letter lambasting him for his vote last month to impeach the then-president, who they defended as a Christian.

“Oh my, what a disappointment you are to us and to God!” they wrote, accusing Kinzinger of going “against your Christian principles” and joining the “devil’s army.”

"It is now most embarrassing to us that we are related to you," they added.

His relatives also sent the letter to other conservative lawmakers.

“We should listen even more grievances against you, but decided you are not worth more of our time to list them,” the letter from his relatives continued. “You have embarrassed the Kinzinger family name!”

Kinzinger, one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump last month, also voted this month to strip Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., of her committee posts for espousing conspiracy theories.

He’s betting his career on disavowing Trumpism, pushing for an alternative path for the GOP. He recently launched a "Country 1st" political action committee, which seeks to put some money behind the political effort confronting a party largely still aligned with the former president.

"The reality is this — this is the time to choose," Kinzinger said during an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" on Jan. 31. "Let's take a look at the last four years how far we have come in a bad way, how backward-looking we are, how much we peddle darkness and division. That's not the party I ever signed up for."

In the interview, he hinted at the letter, saying he'd received two certified letters "disowning me."

It's likely to be an uphill, lonely battle: During the impeachment vote, Kinzinger asked Democrats for more speaking time to make a bipartisan pitch for the impeachment of Trump, according to the Times, but was denied. Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming voted to impeach Trump and only narrowly held on to her leadership position in the House when her party mounted an effort to strip her of it.
