Limbaugh hits #BringBackOurGirls
Politico ^ | May 9, 2014

Posted on 05/09/2014 7:18:48 PM PDT by SMGFan

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh slammed the Twitter hashtag campaign, #BringBackOurGirls, which is drawing attention to the kidnappings of schoolgirls in Nigeria, calling it “pathetic.”

“I just think this is pathetic. I’m just stunned. We got 300 Nigerian girls kidnapped by an Al Qaeda group, and nobody cared or talked about it for a while, Hillary [Clinton] wouldn’t call ‘em a terror group. Now all of a sudden, for some reason, we’re on a big push to get ‘em back and this is how… ?” Limbaugh said Thursday on his radio program, according to a transcript.

Just like the Kony nonsense.

Just another chance for liberals to spout off and feel good about themselves. They care more than you, don’cha know?

That, and also that a hashtag is ASTONISHINGLY lame when compared with the enormity of the situation. Along the lines of Britney tagging #badBokoHaramBAD!

He's absolutely right. Exposure means absolutely nothing to this group, who care as much about a #twitter campaign as they care who signed your high school yearbook. This is typical of the idiocracy: they think the trivial things that are so terribly important to them actually matter in the real world.

Bad news: they don't.

Vladimir Putin isn't going to pull back his troops because of nasty Facebook posts, and Islamist slavers/murderers are laughing at everyone who thinks CHANGING THE CONVERSATION means anything other than blowing gas.

IIRC, the one thing about Kony, as he was/is labelled a “Christian,” so they had no problems calling him evil.

Things getting done? boko haram have been slaughtering Christians across north nigeria since the commander zero’s been PRESidENT so ,yeah, I guess twitter makes it impossible to ignore anymore. Maybe they’ll have a concert and the first couple can throw a shindig at the section 8 crib on PA Ave.

OK The hashtag is a good start—but that is all! How about sending a bunch of troops to that sorry land and get the French and Brits and manybe the Germans to come—I bet even Putin might send a few men—If we are going to smash this group and free their prisoners—lets do it and not hashtag and talk it to death. Where is Teddy Roosenvelt when you need him?Even John Edwards would be a better leader in the White House!!!

Well, apparently, Hollywood can relate to the exploitation and destruction of boys.
