Limbaugh Wonders After Tucson Memorial Ribbon, Is A Sing-A-Long Next?

Representatives Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Democrat, and Michael McCaul, a Republican, together encouraged all attendees of tonight’s State of the Union address to wear black and white lapel ribbons in honor of the Arizona shooting. Such a symbolic attempt at civility did not make Rush Limbaugh too happy.

The bipartisan letter, read by Rush, suggested wearing the Tucson Memorial Ribbon “as a symbol of solidarity with the community and the nation.” The significance of the colors is also explained:

The white ribbon represents hope for a peaceful, nonviolent society. The black ribbon is in remembrance of all who have died and been wounded as a result of violence.

Rush humorously thought that in the new era of civility maybe tonight Democrats and Republicans will also join in a sing-a-long of such musical hits like Ebony and Ivory, Imagine or We Are The World. Then Rush ridiculed the ribbon as the “Civility Ribbon” or “RINO Ribbon” and pondered why the ribbon was not blue and red instead.

Most surprising is that Rush’s criticism here was relatively tame, especially given that it’s not too hard to imagine him really getting angry over the decision to randomly make the ribbon black and white. Maybe softer jabs is Rush’s version of a new civility?

Definition of an Oxymoron: a phrase in which two words of contradictory meaning are used together for special effect – as in Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz!

This whole Kumbaya routine is a joke. The Dem’s had NO interest in playing nice with the Republican’s after they got their hats handed to them in Nov. They are only doing it now because they lost some of their power.

And Wasserman’s actions since the tragedy have been nothing short of disgusting. She went on tv and dragged her daughter into the lies of the liberal media. Poor girl was fed the lie that Gabbie was shot because of Obamacare and Little Debbie’s daughter was worried her mommy would get shot because she supported it. It’s too bad she feels the need to push her lies onto her daughter.

Why do we continue to give Rush the attention he so desperately craves?

Leave the children out of it, Glenn. Remember when Republicans had baby Maggie on the floor of the house to illustrate a point about the health care act which made no sense? Of course not.

Yes, wearing ribbons has been shown to keep the crazies from coming unhinged.

Don’t religious people sing when someone dies? or in times of great stress?

You make fun of hippies… but whenever there is a national tragedy, religious people run to sing and have a man that calls himself “father” make them feel better.

Stop acting like liberals are the only people that are touchy-feely…. religious people say everything without explanation is done by god, hippies thing it’s nature.

hmm.

That’s a racist ribbon. The white part symbolizes everything that is good, while the black part represents sadness and violent murder!

No, it’s actually an elitist ribbon, you can tell because it looks like someone above an eighth-grade education made it. Someone who probably passed geography and economics and can find Iraq and Iran on a map.

I don’t know why you are complaining. I mean your kids live with a brain dead buffoon who needs instructions when zipping up her pants – and they haven’t been taken away from you yet. Or have they?

But that contradicts what you said before, doesn’t it? So by my perspective I could say that all the many TRRK parodies which have been setup are the greatest flattery, right?

Why can’t we all just get along? We did it for years up until Reagan and his faux neo-liberal revolution. The Constitution itself came about from people just wanting to get along and compromising. One of the few times we couldn’t was when conservatives tried to block much of Roosevelt’s programs. Please inform me why we can’t disagree in a civil format.

UNreasonable Lib, your utter obsesssion with me is getting sad. You are constantly trying to catch me in a “lie” and seem content to manufacture one since you are unsuccessful. You are sad indeed.

For the record, I’m not contradicting anything because my claim that it’s flattering to me is spoken from the one being parodied and not the one doing the parodying.

What are you talking about? I’m just asking questions. What’s wrong with asking questions, ma’am? And no, you’ve already lied about me, no need to “try to catch” you in a lie or to “manufacture” one. I’m just asking some questions and you’re getting all belligerent, what’s wrong, Michele?
See, you answered the question. Was that really all that difficult? Lighten up and enjoy the party, gurl. Now as for the flattery, wouldn’t you also say the same for the TRRK accounts? He gets under your skin the same way Glenn does for some people, doesn’t he?

No because as I said that’s dodging the question. I requested your point of view. What’s so difficult about this? I haven’t been convoluted or belligerent in any way, what aren’t you understanding? Why can’t you just answer a simple question? Is there something preventing you from doing so? Do you not want us to know about your true positions?

It wasn’t hard at all, I just thought I was answering the question. The answer to your question, is I think they are flippin hilarious but NO I do not think they are flattering him. But like I said, from the perspective of the one being parodied, I take it as a compliment.

“Most surprising is that Rush’s criticism here was relatively tame”

What’s most surprising is that Rush would criticize a Tucson Memorial Ribbon at all.
greg454

I guess a T ribbon would be politically incorrect since it looks like a cross, and we all know how progressives hate religion (unless it’s Earth Day and Gaia worship).

Either way, Rush is right, I’m sick of ribbons, sick of seeing people with that silly Lance Armstrong yellow band, “oh, look at me, I’m wearing a ribbon, I care.” Bunch of showoffs is what they are, just like Al Gore making movies about global warming and then building a house by the beach.

As for calling Rush a drug addict, hey, Obama ADMITS using crack, cocaine and pot, so who’s the bigger drug addict?
