Rush Limbaugh had an important role in the brain washing of Jen Senko’s dad.
Jeff Cohen said that Limbaugh became “the champion of the overdog. Any powerful group that was challenged by scientists or medical people was the victim. For example, the tobacco company was the victim.” Likewise environmentalists and Ralph Nader, consumer advocate, are victims. The world is topsy-turvy in other words in the land of the extreme right.
According to a commentator in the film here are the top 10 Limbaugh lies, that his followers were prepared to believe:
There are more Native Americans alive today than when Columbus arrived.
- The government is going to be able to get into your bank account with the health care bill and make transfers without you knowing it.
- Egyptian men are soon going to be able to have sex with their dead wives for up to 6 hours after their death.
- President Obama shut down NASA space flights and turned the agency into a “Muslim outreach department.”
- The US has more forestland than it did in 1787.
- President Obama wants to mandate circumcision.
- There is no conclusive proof that nicotine is addictive and the same thing with cigarettes causing emphysema, lung cancer and heart disease.
- If the ice caps melted the ocean levels wouldn’t rise.
- Styrofoam is biodegradable.
- I’m not making this stuff up folks!
President Donald Trump gave him a Medal of Freedom. US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas officiated at Limbaugh’s 3rd wedding. According to Jeff Cohen, Thomas does not listen to mainstream media, but he records Rush Limbaugh’s show! That 3-hour show was Thomas’ “window into the world,” according to Cohen. A pretty dim window I would say. Similarly, Justice Antonin Scalia, the darling of the right, also said, “I get most of my news, probably driving back and forth, to work on the radio…talk show guys mostly.”
In America little is revered more than ignorance.
Rush Limbaugh was Trump’s kinda guy. Some Americans love bullies, and the more ignorant the better.
