It really, really bothered Washington Post deputy editor of the "Morning Mix" feature, Timothy Bella, that Rush Limbaugh received the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Tuesday during President Donald Trump's State of the Union address. It irked him so much that in his long article he kept returning over and over to the theme that Limbaugh was somehow not worthy of the award in comparison to others who received it.
The very title of Bella's article, "Rush Limbaugh joins the likes of Mother Teresa and Rosa Parks as recipient of highest civilian honor," even suggested that he was not as worthy as those others. That was followed by the same suggestion that Limbaugh did not really deserve the award right at the top of Bella's story and continued from there:

I hope Timothy Bella reads this. When you mention Rush’s name you are suppose to genuflect and say “We are not worthy”.
Considering all the people who have received the medal, it’s almost insulting that Rush got it, too. He’s deserving a higher honor than the one those ignorant losers got.
This POS sh*t is jealous he doesn’t have lung cancer so I very much wish for this POS to get it and Rush a miraculous recovery. Liberals are pure scum.
I think Rosa Parks did. She and others like her broke government-mandated segregation and made us all free-er.
I had forgotten that the segregation left in the 50s was still partly from government as opposed to private businesses (lunch counters, buses, etc). Ike desegregated the schools, though, so you’re right. Hard to envision things have changed so much.
I know who Rosa Parks and Mother Teresa were and I respect them. But they weren't family to me.
Last night was the closest I will ever get to receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom MYSELF.

The initial bus segregation was ALL government-driven. After the laws were passed, the bus-drivers ignored it for years until the governments started threatening to throw THEM in jail. That said, by the 1950s it was ingrained in ‘the way things are’, in addition to the laws.
Posts like this cheapen FR. Would you have done what Rosa Parks did even if someone paid you? She wasn't someone from Actors' Equity.

CERTAINLY Rush Limbaugh is a advocate of Freedom.

He also joins the ranks of Dinero the asshole. Also Lowell Thomas and Paul Harvey, radio legends.
Interesting insight. Good point.
EXCELLENT point!Rush is all about promoting love of freedom.
In fact, the video of his reaction to the honor is what
a lifetime patriot being recognized for patriotism looks like.
Brilliant move on Trump’s part giving Rush the medal at the speech.
