Obama Awarded the Medal of Freedom to a Sex Predator, But Liberals Are Triggered by Rush Limbaugh's
PJ Media ^ | 02/05/2020 | Matt Margolis

If you watched President Trump's State of the Union address, one of the more touching moments was when he recognized Rush Limbaugh, acknowledging his recent cancer diagnosis, and announced that he was awarding Rush with the nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which was awarded to him on the spot by First Lady Melania Trump.

True to form, liberals were outraged that such a high honor would be bestowed upon a man they've hated longer than Trump.

"Oh FFS Rush Limbaugh getting the Medal of Honor [sic] is a low I sure wasn’t expecting," tweeted former Rep. Katie Hill. You probably remember her for resigning from Congress after her affair with a staffer was revealed by RedState in October.

"Only one thing to say about Rush Limbaugh getting a Presidential Medal if [sic] Freedom at The State of the Union: I loathe this f***ing man," tweeted Rob Reiner.

There are reactions from triggered liberals I won't bother quoting, but I will explain just how disgusting and hypocritical they are, by pointing out that these liberals had no problem when Barack Obama awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to a pedophile rapist.

That's right, in 2009, Obama's first year in office, he awarded the late gay rights icon Harvey Milk with a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom. Harvey Milk "dedicated his life to shattering boundaries and challenging assumptions," Obama said during the ceremony. "As one of the first openly gay elected officials in this country, he changed the landscape of opportunity for the nation's gay community. Throughout his life, he fought discrimination with visionary courage and conviction."

Before presenting the award to Milk's nephew, Obama added, "Harvey Milk's voice will forever echo in the hearts of all those who carry forward his timeless message."

Thanks for the cool book art.

Huh, the 'startling twist' looks like a rewrite of the 'The Final Countdown'.

The Democrats are jealous of Rush and Trump. Rush raises millions for charities and his books are loved by children across the country. Caller Olivia this week told Rush how his books inspired a 7 week cross country trip for her family. I’m sure many listeners are thinking of following Olivia’s family lead. Both DJT and Rush share a great love for America.

I don't pretend to know whether Barack Obama was eligible to serve as President or not, but any one of the Senators or Reps could have raised a point of information or some such on the day they counted the Electoral College votes and asked the simple question: "Is this person eligible to be President?" None of them did what they could have, on the one day it would have mattered, to support and defend the Constitution in this matter. It was that day that I first realized that NO incumbent in Congress had kept their oath of office. I haven't voted to re-elect an incumbent federal office-holder since.

Some claim that Obama can't be a natural-born citizen because his father was a Kenyan. Well, why must we believe his father was the Kenyan? If his biological father WAS an American, as at least one investigator insists, then this argument falls.

Others claim that Obama can't be a natural-born citizen because he was born in Kenya. The best evidence for this claim seems to be an audio recording of his purported Kenyan paternal grandmother answering the pretty straight forward question of whether she was present when Obama was born in Mombasa. Even this best evidence seems insufficient to conclude that we know he was born outside the country.

If McCain hadn't had his own eligibility problems, maybe he would have elevated the eligibility question during the 2008 campaign. Donald Trump's brief foray into this matter before the 2012 election started strong, but Mr. Trump folded like a cheap suit when that Hawaii birth certificate image was introduced into the public arena.

Well, to some extent. However, without giving too much away, the fleet for which the "USS Hillary Clinton" is the flagship consists of various multi-national warships, including Japanese, German, and British vessels. The "twist" that I saw in it was that some of the Japanese and German vessels went over to the enemy to fight for the Axis ... giving both sides some advanced technology.

Their vocal hatred, spitting, epithets and lunacy are like a lullaby to me. He better not get too worked up because he’ll need to save some for the first Wednesday in November.

The USNS Harvey Milk is under construction and will be an oiler and replenishment ship not a combat vessel. It may even be crewed by civilians though I could be wrong.

All USNS ships (Military Sea Lift Command) are crewed by civilian mariners. In certain circumstances they have Navy Security teams on board but the operation (and maintenance) of the ship are by the civilian crew.

[[We are a GREAT country and we dont imprison or hurt gays.]]

we should imprison them IF they prey on underaged kids- which harvey did- but nope- our ‘president’ nominated for presidential medal AND named a ship after him, AND praised him up and down-

Harvey was a sick predator- He shoudla been in prison, not awarded a highest medal and have ship named after him

They should get life.

Raping a child (statutory depends on exact circumstances and age) should be a life sentence. End of story.

agree totally- when a person destroys an innocent child’s life, the perp should get life- that child will forever be scarred- that will always remain with them-

I can’t even imagine.

I know a 36 year old woman that was molested at 5.

It’s one of her first memories.

It breaks my heart.

She has been diagnose with PTSD. I don’t like hard to nail illnesses being thrown around too easily, but being raped for 13 years qualifies.

“The fag oiler”
“What’s long and hard and has seamen in it? The Harvey Milk”
“The masturbator freighter”

I would never sail on it.
