[W:300]Trump says he will award Rush Limbaugh with Medal of Freedom

[Lursa]

Well this is an enormous insult to all those who have gone before and received that honor from previous presidents. I totally believe Rush deserves it because he can talk **** forever and refuse to be interrupted. :doh

Trump says he will award Rush Limbaugh with Medal of Freedom - CNNPolitics

According to a person familiar with the discussion, Trump informed anchors he will bestow Limbaugh with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in the coming months. Limbaugh has been a staunch ally of the President's for years, and dined with him at his Palm Beach golf club over the holidays. Once, during an event in the Rose Garden, Trump praised Limbaugh as someone who "can speak for three hours without a phone call."

People close to Trump say he personally enjoys granting his friends the nation's highest civilian honor. He bestowed the award upon seven recipients in 2019, and several more the year prior.

For reference:

The Medal of Freedom is bestowed to "individuals who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors," according to the White House.

Rush Limbaugh has certainly been a noticeable part of the American political radio scene, but that doesn't mean his stuff had merit.

Perfectly said.

Trump was elected in order to troll Democrats. This will annoy Democrats, so of course he'll do it.

 

[Ikari]

I don't mind Rush. In fact, I credit him with getting me into politics. I used to listen to him religiously. Have his books, everything. I am saddened by his cancer diagnosis and wish him the best.

That being said, he does not deserve the Medal of Freedom.

Not exactly. Trump was elected because he could troll the media and survive. However, I concede the second point.

Draft dodging community college drop out hate monger with women issues.

Sounds like Trumps butt-buddy.

Agreed. But I think it's just as much about wanting to do something nice in light of Limbaugh's situation.

don't forget to add rabid racist.

Actually GW Bush made a joke out of our highest civilian award long ago by awarding it to George "slam dunk" Tenet.

For reference:

Obama doled these things out like candy to many top Dem celebrity fundraisers after Hillary lost - consolation prizes & political pay-offs.

So if cheapening the award is your concern, Obama's been there & done that.

Also - speaking of cheapening things - consider that both Kissinger and Obama have won Nobel Peace Prizes.

THAT is truly sickening.

:hm

 

[bongsaway]

Who's next, rudy?

 

[trixare4kids]

There's some recipients that Obama chose that I wouldn't have...So many from Hollywood but so what?

The president's choice is clearly a subjective decision.

You either like Rush or you don't. There are people like myself who believe he is a great educator. Over the years I have learned a lot about politics from Rush. For those who don't like him they should ask the question of why Rush has the biggest radio audience in the country.
He makes money for radio stations whereas whining Liberal talk show hosts have to stick to big cities where anti-Conservatives can keep them alive.

Precisely the underlying point of my last post. :clap:

I think think Trump should give him the Golden Bone spur award for the pimple on his ass that kept him out of the Nam.

 

[prometeus]

There are people like myself who believe he is a great educator.

And that is also a function of their own education. Enough said.

For those who don't like him they should ask the question of why Rush has the biggest radio audience in the country.

Because there are a lot of low intellect morons out there who prefer to hear something bigoted instead of trying to learn something real.

You'll probably love what former governor, Mike Huckabee had to say on the matter then...

to honor Rush Limbaugh with the Medal of Freedom, who is fighting lung cancer. Rush single-handedly revived AM radio and virtually created modern talk radio. Rush has been a strong voice to promote freedom and free enterprise. Praying for him!

Has Mike Noticed that AM radio has more Mexican radio stations than Gringo stations?

Do you have something against Mexicans promoting freedom and free enterprise?

Sad to see you agree with this sickening practice.

IMHO, only those who have never served applaud this BS.

The freedom medal was a joke a long time ago. Hell, Streisand got the damn thing...lol

 

[Helix]

while i do hope that Limbaugh recovers, giving him the medal of freedom is ridiculous, which makes it an obvious move for the impeached orange fool.

 

[Moonglow]

Not at all, have you ask Mike Huckabee the same question?

 

[Lovebug]

Wow, when you thought you heard it all.
