Representative Press Blog

Are you guys basically agreeing with Rush Limbaugh?!?!

RUSH LIMBAUGH: "The Australian Broadcasting Corporation is reporting that the new Iraqi Prime Minister Allawi has executed six insurgents in front of witnesses, wanting to send a clear message to these people. Good. Hubba-hubba.

Now that's right. Now, you're going to have -- you're going to have -- you're going to have some of the powerless fearful Left in this country saying see, this is what Bush has done. Bush did this, no due process, they just kill them when you find them. We can't -- America's going to be hated in the world, blah blah blah blah. Well, the Iraqis are handling their own affairs."

Rush is an asshole. It was wrong of the US to put this murderous thug into power in Iraq in the first place. If the report from two eyewitnesses is correct then we have horrific proof of the evils of US directed foreign policy. What the **** does it take for people to realize that YES, US foreign policy makers have wronged the Iraqis? This isn't "Iraqis handling their own affairs" this is a hand picked US puppet who murders and a horrible thing to do to the Iraqi people. They didn't pick this guy, we did. And shitheads like Rush wonder why people around the world end up hating the US? It is because of these vicious immoral policies and hand picked murderous thugs that we impose on people. US policy makers don't want real democracy in Iraq, that is why thugs like Allawi are selected to rule over the people. The US could have ran some public opinion polls and used the results to get a very very close approximation of a general election. WHen the poll shoed the most popular choices, the people who the Iraqis themselves wanted could have been placed in the Iraqi government positions, instead the US policy makers selected their CIA backed thug as Prime Minister.

What part of that don't you understand? When the **** are people going to wake up. These actions shit on the efforts of all the American men and women who dies to "bring democracy to Iraq". It turns out to be a sick lie, wake the **** up people. Rush says, "Good. Hubba-hubba."?!? How the hell can anyone make an excuse for a **** Nazi like Rush Limbaugh? When the **** are people going to demand that their representatives stop our government from spreading misery around the world?
