MLD Woody Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Any answer without memes, insults, etc? We saw plenty of backlash when a magazine gave an award to Greta, so I'm trying to put this much more prestigious award from a president into context.

MLD Woody Posted February 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 So nothing then? Alright. That's fine. This board has set my expectations very low. I'm genuinely curious what posters on this board will provide as reasoning. I'm sure a right wing outlet has already told them what to say. I'm just looking for that.

What was Obama's reason for giving his medal of freedom to Robert DeNiro? Tom Hanks? Ellen DeGeneres? Robert Redford? Bruce Springsteen? Rush Limbaugh has done enough charity work to deserve the medal...at least as much as the people above Obama gave the medal to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well everyone loves Tom Hanks. That's an easy one. I'm guessing those were for charity and bringing people together. I'd have to read up on it. Rush just seems like a pretty divicive guy... to say the least. He's got quite the highlight real of racist, misogynist, and other ist remarks.

Rush has done a lot of charity work and that alone would make him deserving of his medal. For all of the talk about Rush making racist comments I have yet to see any evidence of that and you would think with all the years he has been on the radio they should have some kind of recorded evidence.

I'll give you this OBF, the more I'm reading into the award the more I'm realizing how the level of prestige has seemed to lower in more modern times.

The Limbaugh comments about Michael J Fox were big news at the time. It would be hard if I was Marty McFly to not have a good laugh in public knowing how things have shaken out.

FairHooker11 Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 I was glad to see Limbaugh receive the medal of freedom right there in the chamber for the reasons that are purely my own feelings. Trump honors a guy who has a YUGE daily listenership (like it of not)....(and I can guess what the OP is looking for...) and gives him (Limbaugh) an opportunity to see the love and the hate reaction from those the same room! as well as millions across the entire broadcast watching! and for an ego as big as his? truly astounding when you think of that. Like Trump and his meteoric rise these last few years and the equally effective TDS it leaves on his haters, Rush Limbaugh managed to navigate and call out the corruption that resides on the left - and the try and change the long time conservative response of "eating" that SHIT sandwich, Until a guy like Trump came along and shown everybody what pushback looks like. and do it in an entertaining way that some here decry as offensive? (like we are to believe that the left doesnt do the same behind closed doors or in their tight circles?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush is a conservative and he makes no pretenses that he is going to take anything but the conservative side on the issues. He doesn't try to deceive anyone about where he stands unlike our fake media who try to claim they are neutral but most of the time they are peddling the DNC talking points and narratives. The thing that Rush does not get credit for that even liberals should appreciate is his charity work. For that alone he was as deserving as some of the other freedom medal recipients past presidents have given the medals to. He is battling stage 4 cancer and I applaud Trump for giving him his freedom medal at the SOTU. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he's conservative commentator who has had amazing popularity for an amazing span of time. Even though he wasn't the first he is certainly at the Vanguard of the entire talk radio phenomenon. Which even you must admit is a pretty important thing, agree or disagree with their politics. Easily as important to Modern American Broadcasting as Edward R Murrow or Walter Cronkite. edit Plus there's always the element of pissing off the people who hate the president and Limbaugh.

I don't disagree with some of the criticism of the left of republicans chanting 4 more years during the SOTU. Chanting "USA" is appropriate, chanting "4 more years" not appropriate in a SOTU address. The SOTU is the president addressing the entire nation and not just his supporters. I also don't think the SOTU was the place to give Rush his freedom medal. I would have rather seen Rush given the medal at the White House. The reason again is the SOTU is an address to the entire nation and not just conservatives. What Pelosi did was way and I mean way over the top by publicly ripping up the speech for the world to see. That was one of the most disgraceful things I have ever witnessed in politics.

Of course the democratic base loved it but it did not play well with independent swing voters who are the ones who decide elections. And it was disgraceful.
