Obama Awarded the Medal of Freedom to a Sex Predator, But Liberals Are Triggered by Rush Limbaugh's
PJ Media ^ | 02/05/2020 | Matt Margolis

If you watched President Trump's State of the Union address, one of the more touching moments was when he recognized Rush Limbaugh, acknowledging his recent cancer diagnosis, and announced that he was awarding Rush with the nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which was awarded to him on the spot by First Lady Melania Trump.

True to form, liberals were outraged that such a high honor would be bestowed upon a man they've hated longer than Trump.

"Oh FFS Rush Limbaugh getting the Medal of Honor [sic] is a low I sure wasn’t expecting," tweeted former Rep. Katie Hill. You probably remember her for resigning from Congress after her affair with a staffer was revealed by RedState in October.

"Only one thing to say about Rush Limbaugh getting a Presidential Medal if [sic] Freedom at The State of the Union: I loathe this f***ing man," tweeted Rob Reiner.

There are reactions from triggered liberals I won't bother quoting, but I will explain just how disgusting and hypocritical they are, by pointing out that these liberals had no problem when Barack Obama awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to a pedophile rapist.

That's right, in 2009, Obama's first year in office, he awarded the late gay rights icon Harvey Milk with a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom. Harvey Milk "dedicated his life to shattering boundaries and challenging assumptions," Obama said during the ceremony. "As one of the first openly gay elected officials in this country, he changed the landscape of opportunity for the nation's gay community. Throughout his life, he fought discrimination with visionary courage and conviction."

Before presenting the award to Milk's nephew, Obama added, "Harvey Milk's voice will forever echo in the hearts of all those who carry forward his timeless message."

The definitive biography of Harvey Milk was written by a gay man



Harvey Milk may have been a gay rights icon and one of the first openly gay elected officials in this country, but often left out of his biography by those who choose to celebrate him was the fact that he liked to have sex with underage boys.

One such example of this is Milk's "relationship" with a 16-year-old runaway, Jack Galen McKinley. As told by San Francisco Chronicle reporter Randy Shilts in his 1982 biography of Milk, The Mayor of Castro Street, “Sixteen-year-old McKinley was looking for some kind of father figure…At 33, Milk was launching a new life, though he could hardly have imagined the unlikely direction toward which his new lover would pull him.”

Shilts was also a close friend of Milk's and wrote of many of his encounters with teenagers as though there was nothing wrong with them. “Harvey always had a penchant for young waifs with substance abuse problems,” Shilts wrote.

There are no words to describe the awfulness of the Democrat Party.
None.
They are the enemy.
They will get worse.
And we had better be ready to take what they give us and hand it back multiplied by ten.
I respect no one in that party and will treat them as such.

Reading Obama’s statement about Milk brought back terrible memories of his time in office and all the craziness that he brought with it.

A liberal lady friend of mine posted on her Facebook page racist quotes supposedly attributed to Rush. I check the first one and it turned out, of course, to be a hoax. I commented and told her, but she’s deep in the throes of TDS.

“...There are no words to describe the awfulness of the Democrat Party....”

Oh, I can quote plenty.. but it would get me banned.

“..And we had better be ready to take what they give us and hand it back multiplied by ten....”

Absolutely spot-on.

No we don’t you photoshopped it.

But you’ve always been honest on here.

So...either you photoshopped it and I DONT cut my wrists.

Or it’s real and shoot myself in the gut and cut my wrists RIGHT BEFORE taking my feet off the chair and hanging myself

JK mods..i’m not suicidal...but will be incredibly depressed if it’s true.

We must NEVER allow the Constitution to be violated again.

Natural born citizens only.

Natural born citizens are born here of citizen parents.

The children of foreign nationals are PRECISELY who the founders were excluding with the natural born citizen requirement as they are NOT naturally Americans because they are also born something else.

Well, I think an aircraft carrier would be befitting of Rush Limbaugh then. The USS Rush Limbaugh.

Sadly, it is just as true as the fact that both parties cooperated to violate the Constitution and allowed an ineligible usurper to occupy the Oval Office.

The Medal of Honor is only for the military who have distinguished themselves in combat by an act of valor. Civilians are awarded the Medal of freedom.
