Rush Limbaugh mocks, demeans NJ students protesting teacher cuts.
I’ll give this much to Rush Limbaugh: He is a brave man for posting the
transcripts of his radio program online and allowing everyone to read the absolutely ridiculous things he says on the air. Then again, being so rich as to have a staff at home which “lights fragrant candles throughout the house to greet his arrival from work each day,” he probably doesn’t care what anyone thinks about the vitriol he spews forth each day. I don’t particularly care, either, when it comes to politics. After all, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi got in the game knowing critics like Rush spend their lives looking for ways to pick apart the ideas of others.
However, I do care when his vitriol spills over to people who don’t deserve it, which is what happened during a portion of his Thursday program. George Jones and Jamel Gamble are two high school seniors who, like thousands of New Jersey students this week, protested Governor Christie’s impending state budget cuts that will result in massive teacher layoffs.
