No one has done more to divide this nation in the last thirty years..

[kentuck]

...than Rush Limbaugh.

He is the icon of right-wing talk radio.

He has propagated hate and division since the days of George H.W. Bush.

He mocked and made fun of everyone, from dumpster divers to women libbers to black leaders and anyone that was vulnerable in our society. He did not hesitate to promote racism.

Then Donald Trump, at last night's SOTU, on the floor of Congress, gave Rush Limbaugh the Medal of Freedom.

I have seen it all...

[TheCowsCameHome]

1. Did he actually receive the award last night?

I did not watch, but was Limbaugh there?

(And I whole heartedly agree on your comments - he is the architect of hate radio.)

[genxlib]

2. Yes he did

Melania put it on him during the speech.

I had wondered about this myself but sure as hell, it played out in real time.

[TheCowsCameHome]

4. Oy, I'm glad I didn't watch.

That is too much. Nothing but a prime time MAGA rally on the taxpayer's dime.

5. Rush and the Slovenian sex worker

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. She should have yanked it back and twisted it

as hard as she could.

WTF does crap this have to do with SOTU????!?!

[dalton99a]

8. It was a big FU to Democrats

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. Indeed it was, and to the entire country

Awarding anything at a SOTU address is inappropriate, let alone to a hate mongering racist homophobic pig like Rush Limbaugh.

I weep for this county today.

[hatrack]

15. "Own TEH LIBTARDS!!! HUHHUHHUHHUHHUHHUHHUH!!!!"

That's it.

3. You are correct.

His words over the last three decades almost singlehandedly created the Republican Party as it is today. We didn’t realize exactly what was happening until it was too late.

There’s an amazing documentary a you can purchase on YouTube called “The Brainwashing of my Dad” that basically goes in depth on the impact Rush Limbaugh has had in America since his radio show started.

[TheCowsCameHome]

6. He is the founding father of hate radio.

Soon to be pushing up daisies, I hope.

[llmart]

9. +1

We can only hope. He's been and still is a scourge on our country.

[Baitball Blogger]

10. My prediction:

This is an award that will be corrected by history. After all these old guys are long gone and the nation comes to its senses.

[Jim_Pridx]

11. Appalling, to say the least.....

I'm just wondering if we've hit rock bottom? Or will it get even worse?

[Jade Fox]

13. I can still barely believe this is true....Rush Limbaugh????????

Just when you think things can't get any worse.......

[Golden Raisin]

14. With Trump and complicit Republicans there is NO bottom.

[Cosmocat]

16. YEP - until this country gets that and WTF up to what it means

we are fucked ...

HTF people can't see where this is heading is beyond me.

[Jade Fox]

17. A lot of people CAN see where this is headed....

and they like it.

Hopefully, they are a shrinking minority.
