I'd say that is fair, if I were a communist. You left out the "D" grade he received in his college speech class Wikipedia felt compelled to include. No mention of any other grades of course.

The reason I "left out" the D grade was that what I posted was not from wikipedia. It was from that phoney conservative site conservapedia

Overall wikipedia is fairer and less judgemental of Rush than conservapedia. It gives basic information, positives, and negatives. Conservapedia gives basic information, and negatives.

wikipedia: "Some progressive groups and individuals have questioned Limbaugh's accuracy."

conservapedia: "Limbaugh has repeatedly been the subject of scandal and controversy."

And as for that "D" grade: Context. Context. Context.

The reason Wikipedia felt compelled to include it was "Rush failed Speech" is an "Einstein failed math" thing.

As you (well not you, but any rational person) would realize if you bothered to read the citation for the statement
(5)^ Smollar, David J. "RADIO: The prof who 'flunked' Rush Limbaugh in speech is alive and well and running a California university campus." The Orange County Register. February 25, 1996. Pg. F3
