The Missouri House passed legislation Thursday that would make Jan. 12 “Rush Limbaugh Day”, according to The New York Post.
Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh died in February after battling lung cancer. Many paid tribute to Limbaugh, including Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy who said he “revolutionized American radio” and led the conservative movement, according to The New York Post.
Limbaugh began “The Rush Limbaugh Show” in 1988, which boasted the most listeners of any radio show in America. Former President Trump awarded Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom following his death and former Vice President Mike Pence narrated a series on Fox Nation honoring the talk show host.
Some Missouri Democrats are fighting the legislation, arguing that Limbaugh had a history of misogyny, racism and homophobia, The New York Post reported.
“Have you ever heard him say any negative things on the radio about any race or another?” Democrat Rep. Jerome Barnes asked Republican Rep. Hardy Billington, who sponsored the bill.
“To me, he had been an outstanding deal; he had done so many great things,” said Billington, according to St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “Now I think I told you before he probably had not been perfect by no means of the imagination but he had done an outstanding job.”
Republican Rep. Sara Walsh said Limbaugh provided a good example by showing “courage to speak boldly,” The New York Post reported.
Leftist heads to explode in 3...2...1...
*BOOM!*
Mega Heavenly Dittos, Rush.
Bout time somebody came up with a holiday that honors somebody that actually accomplished something, that helped people advance themselves intellectually and was an American Patriot.
Very nice and appropriate.
“Some Missouri Democrats are fighting the legislation, arguing that Limbaugh had a history of misogyny, racism and homophobia...”
Rush LOVED women - married three times! (Maybe 4?)
His ‘Show Observer’ (Snerdly) was a big black guy, LOL!
He had the biggest flaming ‘mo play at his wedding - Elton John!
Keep lying, Socialist Democrats. You look stupider by the minute. In fact, LOOK IN A MIRROR, YOURSELF!
Yeesh! These people!
Right-on, right-on! <3 <3 <3
Are you going to take us on a journey to the Grooveyard of Forgotten Favorites tonight, Gina? 😁
“Leftist heads to explode in 3...2...1...”
A man they DESPISED...because he understood them, COMPLETELY.
Even here, I would say most people don’t understand this bunch (otherwise we wouldn’t debate them on Voter ID, for example - we’d flat-out say they oppose it because it cuts into their cheating capability). I do understand them, I went to college with them, I read ever Leftist rag that I could find (and that was a lot at ESU), I went to their ‘Teach-Ins’, I wanted to understand them, fully.
Rush didn’t do jack in college (to speak of)...yet he understood them as if he were a clone of myself. It absolutely blows my mind that he could understand them so well, given his very limited exposure to them.
...and that is why they DESPISED HIM. He knew their game and NEVER got fooled by them.
Right On !!!!!!
:-D I’m working on doing that right now, PROCON! :-D Going through my Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits.
God bless him and God bless them.
“Some Missouri Democrats are fighting the legislation, arguing...misogyny, racism and homophobia”
What else would Democrats do if they didn’t do this? They couldn’t get up in the morning.
A very well deserved honor! God bless Rush!!!
“President Trump awarded Limbaugh the Presidential Medal of Freedom following his death”
Huh? I saw Melania Trump put it around Rush’s neck while he was alive.

—————Ditto, and that dear FReeper friends, is an example of really shallow reporting. Probably meant to post the picture of Rush receiving with the article. So what else is a lie?
RIP/MEMORY ETERNAL.
