Why Rush Limbaugh Really Is a Nazi Creep

When I'm in the combustion-engine family transportation device (which is rated 34 in the city) I sometimes find myself listening to A.M. radio, and we do after all have a flagship liberal talk station here in The Valley of Free Solar Energy Over Three-Hundred Days a Year Which We Have Yet to Fully Appreciate With Our Advanced Technology.

When they go to a commercial break I push different buttons and sometimes other voices, demonous and horrifying, emanating like loose neutrinos and just as piercing, come through.

As providence would have it, at just the moment I went to Rush a liberal caller had made it past the screeners. At first he politely expressed objection to Rush's term "enviromentalist whackos" when discussing people who advocate for clean air and water and such. The caller suggested that Rush might develop a better understanding of the beauty of nature if he'd go out and hike the forests and mountains, and that maybe Rush would then use less divisive terms.

As if. The image of Rush in a Boy Scout outfit trudging the mountain trails made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

Rush defended his rudeness with more by claiming that we was merely "describing the truth" or some such obvious childish evasion. This was after he'd said that he had a greater appreciation for the enviroment and "creation" (tossing a sop) than the caller, who he had never personally met.

Then the caller said that they were not going to get anywhere on the enviroment and mentioned the Iraq war. Very few people support the McCain Doctrine (the caller did not use my terminology) for sending more troops into the grinder, the caller noted. Rush then told the caller that he "just hated America and wanted us to lose," and the caller said that was an unfair characterization and Rush had only spoken to him for a few minutes.

Then came the good part. Rush proclaimed that things were going well in Iraq and that more people were being killed in a lot of large cities here in America.

He meant, I am sure, that violent urban death rates here in The Land of The Formerly More-Or-Less Free outstrip the handfuls of American troops that die pulverized each day in Iraq.

Rush completely avoids any concern at all for the tens and most likely hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians, women, children, and the elderly, who have been lost and crippled by the violence. He doesn't acknowledge their humanity. So these deaths do not concern him. He does not see these people as human, no more than Hitler and his ilk saw early twentieth-century Jewish people as fellow humans.

It's as if Rush is deliberately evading the simple scientific fact that all of us, each and every person, shares the genome. That probably accounts for some of his spectacular racist slip-up comments.
