I used to harbor an irrational hatred of Rush Limbaugh. I had never listened to him; I had no logical reason to hate him. I had listened to Democrats' lies. The Feb. 9 article about Rush continued to spew disinformation. Much of what Rush says, such as calling himself "America's truth detector," is tongue-in-cheek, designed to irritate liberals. His comment that he hopes President Obama fails was taken out of context -- he just wants Obama's plans to fail. The writers of this article would know that if they listened to him.
