Rush likes this. He is very controversial. I think he should not have made fun of trying to save the young girls. They seem to be making strides on trying to find them. Conservatives need to pick the battles that make sense. Making fun of kidnapped young girls might not be the best option. However, Rush is making news and that is what he does best.

I have long thought that what benefits Rush Limbaugh directly (controversy gets him ratings), isn't what translates into getting votes for conservatives.

One could easily argue that (aside from Michelle Obama, who is clearly doing it for attention), regular people are hashtagging SaveOurGirls to get the attention of politicians, not Boko Haram. These girls were missing for two weeks before much was said on the news - all most people saw was the #SaveOurGirls stuff.

The people who have tweeted #SaveOurGirls or posted it to Facebook have been across the political spectrum as far as I can tell.

This was tone deaf at best. If joking about the kidnapping and probable rape of hundreds of children is funny or an opportunity to make a statement, I guess I just don't get it.

If making fun of regular people is funny or an opportunity to make a statement, I guess I just don't get that, either.

Give it a rest….controversey does not get Rush ratings…..sheesh…..so many Freepers on this thread being outted as sheep for the main stream media spin.

It’s your right to like Rush or not, but you will be corrected when you are just flat out factually wrong about him.
