Limbaugh Out of Control

Thursday, October 8, 2009

President Obama has been accused of another outrageous claim by Rush Limbaugh. This does not come as a surprise, since Limbaugh's success depends on the number of listeners and followers he gains.

His latest antics stem from a St. Louis school yard fight between two students, one black and one white. According to Limbaugh the blame should be put on president Obama for causing black-on-white racism in America.

Limbaugh said "You put your kid on a school bus you expect safety but in Obama's America the white kids now get beat up."

This isn't Iraq bombing American territories or another terrorist attack, it's a school yard fight. I feel this goes to show how much some of the press, you could call it entertainment press, attempts to generate interest.

The sad part about it is there are many American's who probably get their news from these sources. It's a shame people base their political education on these sources when voting or protesting.

I think that there are people that do get all their news from Rush Limbaugh, but I don't think it's the majority. Limbaugh has made his name by saying controversial things on his radio show. I don't listen to it, but I can assume it would fall into the "shock talk" category some of the time and should be taken with a grain of salt.

There are radicals from both sides, not just Limbaugh. He brings up some good points sometimes, you just have to sort through all the crap like this to get to it. I agree with Zach.
