A few posts ago, I said this: “The only differences between Rush Limbaugh and the mainstream media, is that Rush admits he's partisan, and Rush actually has talent.”
I guess I should add another difference: Rush Limbaugh raised $2.1 million, and gave $2.1 million of his own money to a foundation that helps the families of fallen soldiers and police officers.
It's just unreal.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not some huge Limbaugh supporter, thinking he's the savior of America. All I'm saying, is that whatever he is, wherever he stands, he's giving millions of dollars of his own money to help American families.
You can accuse him of whatever you want, but at the end of the day, he gave $2.1 million dollars to deserving American families, and I'm pretty goddamn certain you didn't.
I was listening to his show today, and the father of a soldier killed in Iraq called in, near tears, and thanked Rush Limbaugh for comforting him and his family, and helping them remember the ideals their son believed in and died for.
I have a hard time being impressed with the “journalists” who pat themselves on the back for “telling the truth” about Iraq, and think themselves insightful and valuable because they figured out that war is hell, and spreading democracy is hard.
It's doubly hard when the guy I'm supposed to think is part of the problem, who I'm supposed to think is a greedy oppressor, who I'm supposed to distrust and dislike, is giving millions of his money away to support American soldiers and policemen.
