I wonder which of these quotes won Limbaugh the same distinction as Rosa Parks?
25 quotes from Rush Limbaugh:
1. "Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"
2. “Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is also a White House dog?”
- in reference to 13-year old Chelsea Clinton
3. "Women should not be allowed on juries where the accused is a stud."
4. “When a gay person turns his back on you, it is anything but an insult; it’s an invitation.”
5. "Mrs. Clinton's testicle lockbox."
(is he jealous that she has more balls than him?)
6. "Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society."
7. "The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team."
8. "I think it's time to get rid of this whole National Basketball Association. Call it the TBA, the Thug Basketball Association, and stop calling them teams. Call 'em gangs."
9. "Women still live longer than men because their lives are easier."
10. "He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act. ... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting."
11. “Look it, let me put it to you this way. The NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it."
12. "Obama's America, white kids getting beat up on school buses now. I mean, you put your kids on a school bus, you expect safety. But in Obama's America, the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering "Yay! Right on, right on, right on, right on."
13. "Holocaust 90 million Indians? Only four million left? They all have casinos, what's to complain about?"
14. "Everything in Africa's called AIDS. The reason is they get aid money for it. AIDS is the biggest pile of-the biggest pot they throw money into."
15. "Moochelle Obama"
16. "Michelle, my butt."
- another nickname for First Lady Michelle Obama
17. "Liberals should not be allowed to buy guns, nor should they be allowed to use computer keyboards or typewriters, word processors or e-mails, and they should have their speech controlled. If we did those three or four things, I can’t tell you what a sane, calm, civil, fun-loving society we would have. Take guns out of the possession, out of the hands of liberals, take their typewriters and their keyboards away from ‘em, don’t let ‘em anywhere near a gun, and control their speech. You would wipe out 90% of the crime, 85 to 95% of the hate, and a hundred percent of the lies from society.”
18. "'Ching cha. Ching chang cho chow. Cha Chow. Ching Cho. Chi ba ba ba. Kwo kwa kwa kee. Cha ga ga. Ching chee chay. Ching zha bo ba. Chang cha. Chang cho chi che. Cha dee. Ooooh chee bada ba. Jee jee cho ba.' Nobody was translating, but that's the closest I can get."
- regarding Chinese President Hu Jintao on January 19, 2011
19. "There's rioting in the streets now! And there's going to be more rioting in the streets because that's part of the program here. And next up there are going to be race riots, I guarantee it. Race riots are part of the plan that this regime has. That's next.
- discussing President Obama's economic plan in 2011
20. "I'm a huge supporter of women. What I'm not is a supporter of liberalism. Feminism is what I oppose, and feminism has led women astray. I love women. I don't know where all this got started. I love the women's movement, especially when walking behind it."
21. "Beyonce used to be the lead for a three-girl group called Destiny’s Child, and their songs were attempts to inspire young women not to take any grief from men… Beyonce’s now saying, 'Go ahead and put up with it.' And you know why? Because she got married. She’s married to a rich guy… She now understands it’s worth it to bow down."
22. "Obama says he's a Christian, but where's the evidence?"
23. "Those of you who are not mobilizing to change the Second Amendment, those of you who are not mobilizing to make it more difficult to get guns and weapons are the modern equivalent of people who sat around and let Bull Connor turn his dogs loose on the marches at Selma. ... If a lot of African-Americans back in the ’60s had guns and the legal right to use them for self-defense, you think they would have needed Selma? I don’t know, I’m just asking.”
- comparing gun fanatics to civil rights activists
24. "What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex -- what does that make her? (pauses) It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute."
25. "If any race of people should not have guilt about slavery, it's Caucasians."
Bonus: “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”

It's nice that you and Mitt Romney are better than the rest of us. Your moral compass apparently consists of digging up 30 year old quotes from someone dying of lung cancer to make yourself look better. At least, that's what you think. I think it makes you look small.People with a moral compass, for one.

It's much better to compare Mother Theresa and Obama's pick, Robert De Niro. He seems to have similar love in his heart.People with a moral compass, for one. People who understand the dignity of an institution, for another.
That Rush Limbaugh has now been honored at the same level as Mother Theresa should make any centered person's hearts break.

I'm just curious, did you feel the same when the award was given to Ellen DeGeneres or Robert DeNiro? It baffles me that people pick out a name like Rosa Parks, but ignore all the others who have also received the award. And I'm not even saying Rush deserved it, but if you look at ALL the names on the list, can you argue they did?I wonder which of these quotes won Limbaugh the same distinction as Rosa Parks?

In before Septic's treatise on "whataboutism and why it's a logical loser."I'm just curious, did you feel the same when the award was given to Ellen DeGeneres or Robert DeNiro? It baffles me that people pick out a name like Rosa Parks, but ignore all the others who have also received the award. And I'm not even saying Rush deserved it, but if you look at ALL the names on the list, can you argue they did?
If you look at every name on the list, it's not like it holds the value some think it does. They hear "highest civilian honor" and names like Rosa Parks, and they "ooh" and "aah". But if you read them the rest of the list, you'll find it doesn't really amount to much. It's not much more than a political tool for Presidents to get good publicity.In before Septic's treatise on "whataboutism and why it's a logical loser."
