Rosa Parks was an NAACP employee that was used to stage a fake race incident.

But not 0bama handing them out willy-nilly?

[Fido969]

I wonder if this guy was irked by Obummer’s Nobel Prize?

[stanne]

Walk editor irked!?

Well, ya. Good.

[PLOM...NOT!]

Rush is a national treasure.
I started listening in the Clinton years when it seemed conservative opinion was non-existent. He was a shining light in that darkness.
Local news, national news all spouted how wonderful the new emperor with no clothes was, while I sat there dumbfounded wondering if I was crazy.
Rush made everything make sense. He does it with ease and wit. He has done more for the conservative party than anyone I know.
Prayers and much love up for you Rushbo.

Embrace the Irk, WaPo.

Yeah, because Obama recipients Warren Buffet and Emilio Estefan were so much more deserving!

I also was an AVID listener in the Clinton years LOVED those songs he had they were hysterical I believe Rush will pull through this he is a FIGHTER!!! We need a divine intervention and only VERY STRONG prayers from all of us will get this!!!

Also little noted is that Rush single-handedly saved AM radio and perhaps even broadcast radio as well

[Leep]

It worked.

Not to mention a serious alternate voice in a sea of leftist gruel.

I prefer to say, “Sticks his thumb in the way of all the right people”. Either way, it is AWESOME :)

Went looking at the long list of past recipients. I see that Hillary Clinton is not on the list. Another thing she probably has a slow burn about.
