You just gotta love the spine of Rush Limbaugh. Truth can be hard. While I would like to give Rush credit for always dealing with topics truthfully regardless of the consequences, I believe Rush’s DNA prevents him from dealing with them otherwise.
From Rush’s cautioning of conservatives not to jump on the Ross Perot bandwagon to commenting on the media’s unrealistic portrayal of Donovan McNabb, telling the truth has gotten Rush in trouble.
Rush’s most recent offense of ‘truth telling’ is his analysis of the media’s distorted, bias and fault coverage of various aspects of the Haiti disaster. One of the media’s falsehoods pointed out by Rush is their claim that Obama’s response to the Haiti disaster is far superior to Bush’s response to Katrina. Rush understands that unchallenged mis-truths later become facts.
In typical fashion, the usual suspects in the media distorted Rush’s remarks and accused him of saying things he did not say. They called Rush a racist and mind-spirited; standard names guaranteed to make white conservatives run for cover.
Thus, once again, I find myself thanking God for giving America Rush Limbaugh. I thank Him for creating a man who simply does not know how to go along to get along. There are not many things in life you can count on. But, you can always count on Rush Limbaugh telling it like it is.
