Some people lack the intelligence to comprehend complex ideas. There are others too who do not understand sadly because they choose not to understand.
In the case of one particular CNN personality, he’s presenting himself as someone who is either not willing or not capable of understanding a host of opposing view points. And whether due to choice or stupidity he’s misinterpreting another person’s words with the outcome being entertainment for his audience–in the form of simple humor and crude denigration of that person.
The person who is being used for humor and being denigrated is the recently departed Rush Limbaugh.
According to Breitbart News, CNN media analyst Bill Carter attacked Rush Limbaugh stating that he was not a “heroic figure.” Many believe Carter made a big mistake. Some would say he committed sacrilege.
Carter said:
“Well, it’s kind of shocking because, first of all, you know the Governor of Florida is just playing for conservative attention in doing that. But the justification is really questionable. Look, Limbaugh had a huge following and was very popular among a group of right-wing listeners, but he wasn’t a heroic figure.”
Note how Carter accused Rush of “playing for conservative attention,” but he is blind to his own playing for liberal attention. What Carter either refuses or is unable to understand is that Rush was answering a calling. He was a prodigy. Some would say, A gift from God. Carter, however, is merely a garden variety liberal idiot.

Also from CNN, anchor little Brian Stelter had this to say:
“Rush Limbaugh died Wednesday at the age of seventy. He has been remembered as a hero to some. He is remembered as a hate-monger on the left. He was clearly a harbinger of many political changes in this country. Now the governor will fly the flags at half-staff in Florida in the coming days whenever the funeral is scheduled. What is your reaction to that decision?”
And that wasn’t sufficient for little Brian. He continued:
“He had a lot of incidents that were extremely questionable, and his views were pretty ugly, and they hurt a lot of people. They hurt some people personally. An awful lot of people are justifiably saying, why are you celebrating a guy who attacked Barack Obama on race, who sang Barack the magic negro, and all kind of extremely outrageous things that, frankly, the conservatives loved. They loved him for that. He established the brand. He did. That was a brand. But to make it a heroic thing or something that should be celebrated like a war hero, I find that pretty questionable.”
Socrates said:
“I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think.”
These two schadenfreude from CNN, who obviously drank the Kool-Aid at tender ages, refuse to be enabled to think. And it’s this myopic liberal mind set which has long proven to be a terrible detriment to the well being of America.
Whether you choose to remember him as a hero or as the brilliant prodigy he most certainly was, Rush Limbaugh endeavored each day to make America a better place to live for all Americans. His thirty-plus years of conservative leadership, of being the “voice of American conservatism” greatly assisted the Right in it’s never-ending battle against the Left, good against evil.
God speed Rush. You are missed.
