GOP Sen. Inhofe Calls Out Limbaugh On Senate Floor For Backing Brutal African Guerrilla Group

By Alex Seitz-Wald

In the wake of President Obama’s decision to send a small contingent of troops to help Uganda fight the marauding Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) guerrillas, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh embraced the brutal group as valiant Christian warriors “fighting the Muslims in Sudan.”

In reality, as human rights groups have long documented, the LRA is a murderous “death cult,” best known for descending on villages, “capturing, killing, and abducting hundreds of civilians,” and forcing boys to become child soldiers and girls to become “bush wives.”

<...>

It’s unusual for any senator to take to call out an ideological out by name from the Senate floor, but even more so considering that Inhofe has in the past looked past egregious human rights violations to lend support for Christian leaders. In April, Inhofe defended former Ivory Coast dictator Laurent Gbagbo after other African and international leaders condemned him for taking up arms to retain power after losing the election to a Muslim rival. But the LRA is terrible enough for even Inhofe to reject.

Today, Limabugh responded to Inhofe on his radio show, admitting he was “misinformed” about the LRA. But Limbaugh seemed more bemused about having his name “entered into the Congressional record” than apologetic, giving a hearty laugh about it before quickly moving on to another topic.

The Republican Party is filled with hypocrites supported by morons.

5. Rush DraftDodger Limbaugh (R) totally jumped the shark on this one

He is spewing propaganda to get his Republicon listeners to support of brutal murderers, rapists, and mutilators.

Why do Rush and his Republicon sheeple support such violent, totalitarian, right-wing shit?

Disgusting. UnAmerican. InHuman.

7. Limpballs is a classic narcissist

Hearing his name mentioned - even if it's in a sentence indicting him for diddling little boys - gives him such a thrill.
