EVANSTON -- Some Evanston students want to write letters to Rush Limbaugh. Others want to call him out for a debate.

The reaction to the conservative talk-show host comes after Limbaugh put down Evanston Township High School's multicultural curriculum during his nationally syndicated radio show.

[rface]

they're trying to get Rush to "take the bait" - he should ignore and let them ferment in their own ignorance.

[cyborg]

I think he should take them up on their offer and then wipe the floor with their raggedy little arses!

>>"That speaks volumes about how unimportant he is," Hayman said.<<

A heck of a lot more people know of Limbaugh than this self-important twit.

Some Evanston students want to write letters to Rush Limbaugh.

Unfortunately they didn't know how.

Evanston Supt. Allan Alson said Limbaugh spoke "inaccurately and unconscionably" during his May 10 commentary.

"Everyone knows who Hitler is," said senior Brian Minor.

"That was bogus," said junior Robyn Curtis.

LOLOLOLOL

[MikefromOhio]

sure they know who Hitler is....

He was a President of the United States right? /sarcasm

[nmh]

Ever notice how easily and quickly the liberal left get out of control when they are criticized?

Their emotional immaturity and ignorance is astounding!

[Behind Liberal Lines]

I'm sure they DO know who Hitler is. After all, their teachers probably compare him to President Bush every single day.

[Mark in the Old South]

I have a different solution. Rush should take the bait but with a twist. They debate a team of Home schoolers organized by Rush's people. That should be fun to watch and hear. I bet they back away faster than a mouse from a lean and angry cat.

[Unam Sanctam]

Of course they know who Hitler is -- he was someone almost as evil as Bush!

[RichInOC]

Kids, you might think Rush Limbaugh is a master baiter...but in comparison, trust me, you are raw apprentices.

[Bossy Gillis]

Like Rush always says, when someone is making a fool of themself, get out of the way.

[Lazamataz]

"Everyone knows who Hitler is," said senior Brian Minor.

Yeah.

George W. Bush.

[Paul Atreides]

"Everyone knows who Hitler is," said senior Brian Minor.

Given the way some wantonly throw around the Hitler name, I don't think so.

"That was bogus," said junior Robyn Curtis.

What a vocabulary!

[I_like_good_things_too]

"That was, like, bogus, dude! We's smart!"

[rface]

how up to date can you be on current events - if you have never even heard of Rush Limbaugh.....?

To know Rush Limbaugh is to love Rush Limbaugh - to Not Know Rush Limbaugh is to not care about current events.

"Students must take three years of history, including U.S. History in 11th grade."

Oh, I'm sure they do! I just wonder if they were permitted to study the evil white men from Europe that founded this country. Or ever read the Declaration of Independecne or know what Memorial Day, Labor Day or know who George Washington are. Yeah, they study something but it's typically unpatriotic and smacks of hatred for our conservative leaders.

[bannie]

Oh, they know about Hitler...it's part of the culture of hatred.

They might, however, not know much about Washington, Paul Revere, or the signers of the Declaration of Independence.

[nmh]

I was just thinking that ... Bush is the "modern day" Hitler according to the left.

[Paul Atreides]

"That speaks volumes about how unimportant he is," Hayman said.

No, it speaks to how uninformed you are, twit.

[righttackle44]

". . .but some said they never had heard of Limbaugh.

"That speaks volumes about how unimportant he is," Hayman said."

No. It actually speaks to how dead they are to American culture.
