Plenty of freepers here who make a living on this forum metaphorically with the same old confederacy smear...non stop

vitriol towards southern whites as racist conservatives is not limited just to the wacky left

Rush is of German stock so even though his family has southern accents ..likely they were Missouri Union sympathizers

though I’d be glad to claim him

..I can hope his momma’s side had some rebs

According to the database, a lot of Limbaughs fought for the Confederacy -- including several from Missouri -- more than fought for the Union.

I wouldn't be surprised if David or Albert or Jacob Limbaugh in the 8th Missouri Cavalry regiment was an ancestor.

But even Obama had Confederate ancestors (I think. I haven't been able to find any in the army yet).

It doesn't say anything about present-day politics.

It would be a smear, if it what I said about the confederacy or its proponents was false.

If it is true, it isn’t a smear. It is just stating the facts.
