Rush on CNN: 'They've got idiots in positions of prominence'
By MACKENZIE WEINGER | 1/9/13 5:17 PM EST
Rush Limbaugh on Wednesday knocked CNN for its take on a segment from his show about pedophilia "normalization," saying the network needs to "find some people who have comprehension skills."
On Monday's show, Limbaugh said "there is a movement to normalize pedophilia" and likened it to the push for same-sex marriage. Limbaugh was discussing the issue in light of a recent article in the UK newspaper The Guardian.
CNN's Soledad O'Brien, meanwhile, held a discussion on Limbaugh's comments on her show today. Limbaugh's response, via his Wednesday show transcript:
Okay, so here's Soledad O'Brien of CNN, who cannot do an interview without crib notes from bloggers -- she cannot do an interview with somebody opposite her worldview without help -- and she's wondering about how my mind works. Now, what does it say about the so-called reporters, journalists, the best of the best? What does it say about these so-called reporters that they couldn't figure out what I was saying when all I was doing was reading from a story from the UK Guardian?
If they couldn't figure that out, they probably can't figure out most things. Maybe what CNN needs to do is find some people who have comprehension skills. This was not hieroglyphics. I was simply reading from a newspaper article in Great Britain. As I say, obviously their problem is that I was the one talking about it. They just have a problem with me. Which is fine. It's a badge of honor and all that stuff. But it still is amazing.

Badda boom, badda bang! Rush nails the turds again...........
They will be trying ban Rush again, someone’s feelings got hurt.
On no, someone’s feelings got hurt. Look out!
Duh
‘They’ve got idiots in positions of prominence’
Rush is slipping.... this isn’t news it’s the new normal everywhere you look.
I think some of his rebuttal is personal in knowing her maybe. His message about the article is right on. Making the decency level so low to where they condition a majority of people to go along. Beat it in your head, over n over until you give in/throw your hands up and claim it’s pointless. It is never done and over, folks because it is too many of us who love our freedom.
Oh, goody! When I tune in tomorrow Rush will talk about how he doesn’t like talking about himself while playing cuts of people talking about him and talking about it.
Ironically, I am sitting here watching CNN in my hotel room (default channel when I turned it on). It is an abomination of common sense.
