Or there is more truth in what he's saying than his political opponents will admit...

MAKING ENDS MEET


Limbaugh: On the official poverty line: "$14,400 for a family of four. That's not so bad" (radio, Nov. 9, 1993).
A few months earlier, Limbaugh was talking about how tough it was to live on more than 10 times that: "I know families that make $180,000 a year and they don't consider themselves rich. Why, it costs them $20,000 a year to send their kids to school" (radio, Aug. 3, 1993).


One is a lie... Guess which one?

A POOR EXCUSE


Limbaugh: "All of these rich guys--like the Kennedy family and Perot--pretending to live just like we do and pretending to understand our trials and tribulations and pretending to represent us, and they get away with this" (TV, Nov. 18, 1993). Versus Limbaugh: Limbaugh's income was an estimated $25 million over the last two years (Forbes, Sept. 26, 1994).


Pandering???


Other quotes:
"I don't give a hoot that [Columbus] gave some Indians a disease that they didn't have immunity against" (Ought to Be, p. 45). [racist]

"The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies" (radio; reported in the Flush Rush Quarterly, January 1993). [racist and inflamitory]

And this means what to me? I do not listen to Rush. Last time I listen to Rush was well over 13 years ago. Last I heard he was getting over a drug addiction or some crap. At any rate, again, if all these are lies then these that say them will face charges and or lose there job eventually.

Cmon bring up the drug thing too you know you want to.

The difference is that Mr. Limbaugh does not 'pretend to live like us' nor does he even attempt to promote that pretense. Quite the opposite.
