Rush Limbaugh Cartoon by Ian D. Marsden of marsdencartoons.com (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Wow, this is going to be harder than I thought. After listening to Monday's Rush Limbaugh Show, I think it might be less work to highlight the few times he actually tells the truth. Basically, if this guy is breathing he's lying or at the least just plain wrong.

In a diatribe against gay marriage Monday, Limbaugh had this to say. "This is something that concerns me, because I think freedom is being misapplied or maybe incorrectly defined. Freedom does not mean hedonism. Freedom does not mean the sybaritic pursuits, 'Just do what you want,'"

He then goes on to say how the Left has branded themselves as the party of freedom and liberation even though according to him that's not true.

First things first. It's Limbaugh's assertion that the only reason Democrats support gay marriage is because they are immoral and want to spread their immorality to everyone.

"To young people today, that's exactly what freedom is," Limbaugh said. "Freedom is hedonism. Freedom is sybaritic pursuits"

He adds that it's only a scam to paint the Republican party as oppressors.

Now that I've identified just some of the lies from his rant:

1. Regardless of how Limbaugh paints his picture with such broad strokes, no one can deny that gays are denied the freedom to marry that all other American citizens enjoy. This represents an inequality that must be corrected. This inequality exists and has nothing to do with immorality or hedonsim. Gay people are citizens of the United States of America and should enjoy the same rights guaranteed to everyone else.

2. Being homosexual is not immoral because it isn't a choice. There's tons of confusing science about how much homosexuality is related to genetics, environment and brain development. However, there isn't one scientific study that shows that homosexuals made a choice to be so. And in fact to suggest that homosexuality is a choice is just ludicrous. What person would consciously make a choice to be ostracized discriminated against even in some cases losing their own family as a result.

3. Limbaugh and his audience are only against homosexuality because the Bible is against homosexuality. But the Bible is also against divorce and Limbaugh the great moralist  has been married four times. Now if you have any experience with the Bible, what that means is that according to the Bible, Limbaugh is an adulterer. And adulterers will suffer the same punishments in hell prescribed for homosexuals. In other words, Limbaugh is a raging hypocrit as is anyone who would use the Bible to deny homosexuals the right to marry.

4. The Republican Party brought America the Patriot Act, warrantless wire taps and Homeland Security. They introduced American's to having their library card records, their email and their phone records snooped through by federal agents. No matter how much Limbaugh denies it, the Republican Party are the oppressors.

I grow weary of this topic. Until next time, I'm Jeff Stevens. Feel free to comment, follow me on Twitter at pSSdOffPatriot or read my other blog at incredulousnation.blogspot.com

Limbaugh Lie #1
Limbaugh continually declares that Obama has increased the national deficit by $6 trillion dollars, when the Congressional Budget Office clearly shows Bush left a deficit of over $11 trillion dollars. Since, 2008, we have paid interest on Bush's debt every year which according to the Treasury Department was approximately $450 billion per year or another $2 trillion since he left. In other words, Bush is actually responsible for a deficit of about $13 trillion. The proof and the truth are in the numbers.

Purpose

By Jeff Stevens
99% of my brain asleep and still smarter than Limbaugh

The greatest threat to America is not communism, nor socialism. It's not the Democratic party. The greatest threat to America isn't even fundamental Islamists. The greatest threat to America and the freedoms it enjoys is propaganda.

It was propaganda that brought down Germany's democracy. Propaganda that handed it over to Hitler and propaganda that kept that country in that dictator's iron fist until his death.

That was more than three quarters of a century ago and Joseph Goebbels used the technology of film and radio to hand Germany and most of Europe over to a mad man. Today, we have the Internet and it's ability to spread propaganda and lies to every corner of the world.

And America's Goebbels uses every technology available in his decades long crusade to destroy American freedom. In case you missed the conclusion; the greatest threat to American freedom is Rush Limbaugh.

Limbaugh has been called the voice of the Republican party. He proclaims daily, he was sent by God himself and that he is at least 45 percent smarter than anyone else on earth. Conservative estimates put his radio audience at 15 million and that doesn't account for his website, his phone apps, his "newsletter" and all the myriad other ways he shills for his corporate masters.

Despite all his protestations, Limbaugh doesn't give two flips about America, freedom, the constitution or the rule of law. As evidenced by everything he says, his only aim is to continue the current trend of legally robbing the most people of their resources and turning over those resources to the smallest number of people.

Every program he refers to his friends at FreedomWorks which is nothing more than a lobbying group for the the oil billionaire Koch brothers. And the company that syndicates his show, Premiere Broadcasting, is owned by Mitt Romney's Bain Capital. So the next time, Limbaugh cries about the Liberal Media, ask yourself how many times you've heard on the Liberal Media, that most of Limbaugh's cash comes from Mitt Romney and David Koch. I'll bet you've never heard that and will be looking up that little fact as soon as you finish this article.

Premiere Networks, which is owned by Clear Channel, syndicates Limbaugh's show. Clear Channel is owned by Bain Capital. Below are links to Bain and Clear Channel.

So given that Limbaugh is the greatest threat to American freedom, this blog will serve to correct the lies and misinformation he daily spews forth. I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to add your comments and send me an email if you wish to contribute. The right has an army of liars in their service. The only hope for freedom is an army of truth.
