      India attacked Pearl Harbor?
      Next Rush will be saying Peanuts were attacked by George Washington Carver.
      It's "The Other" that Mr. Limbaugh is Referring to, anyone different than Me & You.
      It wouldn't surprise me if Rush blamed Muslims if his Fat-Ass slipped on some Morning Due.
      
      Speak truth to power.
      
      Mr. News

    Thanks for the exclamation (declarative?) !! I've been away for a bit, and when I saw this headline that's exactly what I said, outloud. LOL! Poor Rush Limbaugh little does he know, that he IS the vanguard of the decline of the American Intellect

  Professor Pedophile strikes again. How scary to think that possibly a million or so Americans listen to this guy and don't realize he's a moran.

  Why not? Did India attack us on 12/7/41? [Very few Hindi folks in Japan].
  
  Oh, and there is a Muslim place of worship already IN the Pentagon.

  Note: He changed something about this but, when tuning stations I heard him say something about building a mosque near the Pentagon.
  
  In a previous post, someone mentioned that a mosque already exists inside the Pentagon.

    Prince, did you hear the caller today who, very calmly and politely, gave Blimpy a list of reasons why this was no big deal ?
    
    Rush's "comeback" was awesome. There was a long, stupefied " Uuhhhhhhh...", followed by a question to the caller about what he had against America.
    
    Serious, that's all fat Boy had - " Duhhhhh, how come you hate Amurika ?"

  2. There are very few Hindus in Japan:

  And Blimpy's brain dead audience won't notice, won't care. In their minds, all non-Christians are Godless Heathens, anyway.

  I believe he meant to say "Shinto"- but to Rush and his listeners, all them foriegn religons are equally evil.

  Hey Rush, a lot of Japanese are Shintoists, not Hindus.

    And since 200,000 Japanese-Americans live in Hawaii, there are several Shinto shrines and yes, they are near Pearl Harbor...

  Rush you may have corrected yourself but you are still a hate filled bigot. Get off all government regulated airwaves with your pollution.
