What follows is an obviously satirical song that has Democrats boasting of their racism and various unpleasantries that Cultural Marxist (Jewish) propaganda emphatically associates with racism. JUST DISCOVERED: This 1930s progressive anthem uncovered in the DNC basement sums up the core values of Democrats. For better and worse, he succeeded.THIS POST APPEARS on Dinesh D’Souza’s Twitter page:
Thirty-plus years ago, Limbaugh had a different mission as a conservative talk radio pioneer. Someone with his innate talent and skills, but who uses those skills not to rile up conservatives and demean the left, but to educate conservatives and respectfully debate the left. What’s needed is a serious, truthful Rush Limbaugh to come on the scene in conservative talk. And by trafficking in so many lies and conspiracy theories, you’ve helped ensure that a sizable segment of the American voting population no longer believes in basic truths. But by so demonizing the left, you so contributed to the ugly and dangerous polarization of our politics today. But Limbaugh was all about the ratings, and wanted to remain the king of the hill until the end.īesides rest in peace, what else can be said? Thank you for creating modern talk radio. What makes me especially sad is unlike Hannity and so many others, Limbaugh knew better. Like so many other conservative talkers and Fox News personalities, Limbaugh, disappointingly, sold his soul to Trump, and in his last few years on the radio seemed to be just a mouthpiece for the former president. Limbaugh was still pushing the “stolen” election lie after Jan. 7 compared the rioters to our American revolutionary heroes) and others like him pushed the false narrative that Joe Biden and his supporters “stole” the election from Trump. 6 Capitol riots, after Limbaugh (who on Jan. This became wrenchingly clear during the Jan. Because Limbaugh achieved such success by being fundamentally dishonest, he is responsible for the alternative reality that conservatives and Trump supporters live in right now because so many who followed him have imitated him. We’ve seen this play out during the pandemic with deadly consequences. When you look at talk radio and Fox News today, the most successful employ the same model of dishonesty and manipulation of their audience. Sadly, the vast majority of conservative media feeds misinformation to their audiences. Politifact, the fact-checking website, has analyzed about 50 of Limbaugh’s higher profile controversial statements and labeled the majority of them “mostly false,” “false” or “pants on fire.” Recent examples include his assertions that House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry of Donald Trump “doesn’t feature the opposition party, it doesn’t feature cross examination,” that Joe Biden’s Democratic Convention speech “had to be taped in segments, and the segments had to be edited together,” and that “the coronavirus is the common cold.” This area of dishonesty I find most troubling because it is pervasive in the conservative media world and Limbaugh led the way on lies and disinformation for most of his career. That gets me to the greatest harm of Limbaugh’s legacy: the destruction of truth, the manipulation of his audience and the promotion of conspiracies. I also realize that as a talk radio host, as I was as a politician, I can only speak my truth. He helped make our nation more divided and polarized than it has been in years. He also leaves behind a conservative movement no longer interested in truth. He leaves behind a conservative movement shaped by his voice and his politics. He’s gone now, dying at the age of 70 of lung cancer, his wife, Kathryn Limbaugh, announced on his radio show Wednesday.
Rush Limbaugh was the original superstar conservative talk radio show host, helping to give birth to many other hosts over these past 30-plus years, including myself. My son kept laughing at me because I spent most of that five-hour ride talking out loud to the radio, fired up because finally there was someone out there who sort of spoke for me and my politics. I had my year-old son in the back, flipped on a talk radio station and there was this cocky voice throwing insults at liberals and echoing so much of what I believed. I was on the road, driving from Chicago to see my sister in Cincinnati. I first heard Rush Limbaugh on the radio circa 1989.
