The Sultan of Hate -- The Medal of Freedom to Limbaugh?

As one blogger stated it "The only qualifier for that garbage [Rush Limbaugh] to get the medal of freedom is because in America he has had the freedom to be the absolute worst that humanity has to offer. Hopefully the next Dem retires this medal forever as being tainted & launches a Presidential Medal of Integrity instead."

My CommentThe blogger's suggestion is spot on. In this moment what Trump supporter should receive that honor? No one. There is not one shred of character, integrity or empathy in the entire lot of the supporters of Donald Trump except one. I would give it to Mitt Romney for the immense courage it took for a member of the Trumpian Republican Party to hold this lawbreaker president's feet to the fire convicting Trump on at least one impeachment count.   Giving this Medal of Freedom to Rush Limbaugh is like giving it to Joseph Goebels, the head of the Nazi Ministry of Propaganda. This act by Trump bestowing the highest civilian honor to the sultan of hate, Limbaugh, is the highest insult to all good men and women of principle and character everywhere and to those persons of artistic and cultural humanitarian excellence who have received it before!  See list of former recipients below.

Examples of just a few of the minister of hate's many malignant racist and misogynistic greatest hits of the most undeserving of the honor of bestowal of the Medal of Freedom in this nation's history.  WARNING: THIS LIST MAY INDUCE NAUSEA AND VOMITING! :

Racist:

“I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.” 
 “You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.”
 “Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”
“Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.”
“The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”
“They’re 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?”
 “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back (to an African American female caller).”

Insults against women:

“Women should not be allowed on juries where the accused is a stud.”
~Rush Limbaugh, 1994 List of 35 Undeniable Truths
“Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women access to the mainstream of society.”
~Rush Limbaugh, The Rush Limbaugh Show, August 12, 2005.
“Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is also a White House dog?”
~Rush Limbaugh, while holding up a photograph of 13-year-old Chelsea Clinton on his 1993 television show
“They’re out there protesting what they actually wish would happen to them sometimes.”
~Rush Limbaugh, on women who protest against sexual harassment, The Rush Limbaugh Show, April 26, 2004
So Miss Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here’s the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch.”
~Rush Limbaugh, The Rush Limbaugh Show, March 1, 2012
