How did I miss this one??? Rush defending Saddam!!!!!
Originally I linked to DU from Liberal Slant . I haven't been going there lately because they don't update much anymore. Today I needed a copy of the Hermann Goering quote that they post at the top of their page, and I found this new quote there:

"And now the liberals want to stop President Reagan from selling chemical warfare agents and military equipment to Saddam Hussein, and why? Because Saddam 'allegedly' gassed a few Kurds in his own country. Mark my words. All of this talk of Saddam Hussein being a 'war criminal' or 'committing crimes against humanity' is the same old thing. LIBERAL HATE SPEECH! And speaking of poison gas . . . I SAY WE ROUND UP ALL THE DRUG ADDICTS AND GAS THEM." - Rush (oxycontin) Limbaugh, Nov. 3, 1988

1. It's a fake quote from the comic strip "The Boondocks"
Not real, sorry.
I could easily see Rush saying that, though.

4. snopes snopes snopes
Claim: Talk show host Rush Limbaugh's 3 November 1988 broadcast included a statement approving the selling of chemical warfare agents to Saddam Hussein and the gassing of drug addicts.

Status: False.

Is Liberal Slant doing us a favor putting bogus quotes up?

12. Thanks to trash like Rush, I genuinely NOW have hate speech for traitors
like Limbaugh.

Actually, I don't know what to say. Outrage doesn't begin to say how I feel right now.
