fredxmertzIt upsets me that people pay that attention to Rush Limbaugh. Does it really matter what he says?
From May 2009: (source: http://mediamatters.org/limbaughwire/2009/05/20)
LIMBAUGH: Bill Clinton, envoy to Haiti. I'm just gonna tell you, if I was named envoy to Haiti [laughing] I'd quit government. Envoy to Haiti? You can't even pick up a prostitute down there without genuine fear of AIDS. This is not Clinton's place.
No, it doesn't matter what this fat gasbag says. I wish we could ignore him and his ilk with a better degree of detachment. After all, he's aspiring to bring us down to his level by spewing hate speech, so that we hate his filthy stinking foul putrid decrepit guts. BUT! we should love our enemy without exception- separate the action from the individual. Here's a pompous, entitled white male, given a megaphone, money and prescription pain killers... what damage can we do to the poor bastard?
hmmmm...... tase him, bag and tag him and put him in a stockade in Port Au Prince? Thats how I would show my love for him I guess.
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy; but I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven; for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.--ST MATTHEW v. 43-48.
yeah, 'it rains on the just and the unjust' but rain on the just really pisses me off.
