🦀Truly a great 48 hour news cycle🦀
I love to just take a little stroll down the Views and Controversies sections of these ghouls wikipedia’s when they almost die. Let’s get to it!
Limbaugh is known for making controversial race-related statements with regard to African-Americans.[65] He once opined that all newspaper composite pictures of wanted criminals resembled Jesse Jackson, and another time that “the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons.”
Limbaugh has asserted that African-Americans, in contrast with other minority groups, are “left behind” socially because they have been systematically trained from a young age to hate the United States because of the welfare state.
Limbaugh, who has expressed anti-LGBT rhetoric in the past and views homosexual sexual practices as unhygienic, made serophobic statements about HIV/AIDS victims in the 1990s, and called the virus “Rock Hudson’s disease”[71] and “the only federally-protected virus”.[72] Limbaugh claimed in 2007 while defending President Reagan’s response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic during the 1980s that it did not “spread to the heterosexual community.”
Limbaugh dismisses the concept of consent in sexual relations.
In 2014, Limbaugh criticized a policy at Ohio State University encouraging students to obtain verbal consent, saying “How many of you guys . . . have learned that ‘no’ means ‘yes’ if you know how to spot it?”
Galaxy brain take time:
On his television show on October 5, 1995, Limbaugh stated, “too many whites are getting away with drug use” and illegal drug trafficking.[87] Limbaugh proposed that the racial disparity in drug enforcement could be fixed if authorities increased detection efforts, conviction rates, and jail time for whites involved in illegal drugs.
Limbaugh is critical of environmentalism and climate science.[91] He rejects the scientific consensus on climate change, and the relationship between CFCs and depletion of the ozone layer, saying the scientific evidence does not support them.
Limbaugh is critical of feminism, which he views as advancing only liberals and not women in general.[74] In a Time magazine interview during the 1992 presidential election he stated that it “was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.”
Limbaugh was supportive of the Iraq War, and first suggested bombing Ba’athist Iraq in 2002 in revenge for the September 11 attacks.[106] Even after no Iraqi weapons of mass destruction were found, he supported theories that they had existed.[106] On the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse scandal, Limbaugh said, “This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation … And we’re going to ruin people’s lives over it and we’re going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time.”
Rush Limbaugh strongly opposed Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential election, and spread false claims that Obama was a non-citizen not born in the United States.
Limbaugh has also claimed that the 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull were God’s response to the Affordable Care Act being passed.
After the Unite the Right rally and vehicle-ramming attack in Charlottesville, Virginia, Limbaugh defended Trump’s controversial response to the rally and claimed that the violence had been provoked by Black Lives Matter activists, Antifa, and Robert Creamer.
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.”
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Limbaugh asserted that the virus was the common cold.
Phew. I saw the headline that said it was headed “in the wrong direction” and thought it might have meant the wrong direction for humanity.
Shouldn’t have a problem obtaining pain pills eh Rush?
