I cannot let this latest outrage by one of the lying heads of the Far Right pass without challenge.
Wisconsin Freeloader Protestors Whine About What They Want
RUSH: We have a montage here, protesters whining about what they want.
PROTESTOR: I've been teaching for over 25 years and I deserve respect for what I do, and I don't deserve to have my rights taken away.
PROTESTOR: Walker wants to take away my rights and everybody else's rights.
PROTESTOR: We're making history. We're making change.
Rush tries to characterize these true statements as whining?
TEACHER: I think we've lost the sense of democracy. I feel like what people in Egypt are fighting for right now, that's exactly what I feel like I'm fighting for right now.
RUSH: What an absolute idiot. It's a crying shame that this glittering jewel of colossal ignorance is teaching students. Comparing this to Egypt? "I feel like that's exactly what I'm fighting right now." What was Egypt even about? Do you even know, ma'am? Bottom line, it's not about what they want. We all "want" things. Very few of us run around demanding that somebody give us everything we want! Most of us have more class, most of us have more understanding, most of us are more mature than to run around whining (sobbing), "This is what we want! (sobbing) I want my dignity! I want my respect, and I want my benefits (sniffle), I want my health care!" Well, go earn it! It's not about what you want. In your case, it's about what can be afforded. They're trying to make themselves out to be oppressed. You're not in Egypt. You're a bunch of people who feel entitled to be freeloaders.
Its inconceivable to Rush that mere peons, working people, should be accorded either dignity, or respect in their workplaces by their employer. Limbaugh thinks that when workers stand up for their dignity and demand respect from their employer with the help of a union, then the unions must be crushed.
RUSH: It is narcissistic. It's also hypocritical. These people have been getting by for years on the notion that they are devoted, that they are sacrificing, that they are subordinating themselves to the lofty ideals of the children and their education and so forth -- and it isn't about that at all. It is about them. The children are just pawns. They're just pawns, as so many of the so-called "little guys" the Democrats are trying to help, they're just pawns in the game of how these people take care of themselves.
Talk about pawns Rush Limbaugh got a big fat tax cut and now Rush wants the real pawns here, his dittoheads to attack hard working people. Teachers, and State Workers who play many vital roles in making ours a civilized society.
The idea that a man who has grown rich telling lies for a living, would stoop to denigrating dedicated hard working teachers as freeloaders infuriates me. My Brother is a Teacher A good one. He works hard. He is not a freeloader Mr. Limbaugh. If anything he is underpaid.
