Rush Limbaugh the a personality in the news

Since this is a person who reaches 20 million people or even more, I felt the necessity of knowing more about this intelectual genious, now I dont know wheter the imformation provided is true, but I believe if it wasnt, then this page would had being already sued.

If for some reason the administrator or moderator decides to move this post to the conservative forum, because of its relevance on the field, I have no objecton in doing so.

Rush Limbaugh was spawned in Cape Girardeau, Missouri on January 12, 1951. He was born to Rush Jr. and Mildred. Rush was a chubby kid and described as "not the most popular". He became interested in radio as a lad reportedly, Rush worked for a top 40 station during this time. With the exception of education, Rush was influenced by his father who was a successful attorney. Rush's father imprinted conservative ideology onto his kids at a very young age.

At the urging of his father, Limbaugh attended Southeast Missouri State University but dropped out after three semesters.

During this time, the Viet Nam war raged on. But Rush Limbaugh was to have no part of it. He got a "4F" through a pilonidal cyst (pimple) on his posterior. Rush vehemently and wildy accuses those who do not favor war of being un-patriotic yet when it was his time, Rush Limbaugh skated right out of harms way. It is amazing that Rush's devoted listeners who claim to be the bastion of American values completely ignore the duplicity of their idol. Rush Limbaugh avoided serving his country and is now cheerleading a fight that will result in death of true patriotic Americans.

In 1971, Rush landed a job at WXYZ using the name, Jeff Christy. He was to read the news, sports and weather but couldn't help from adding his own commentary. This lead to Rush being fired. This seemed to be a pattern for Rush having been subsequently fired from KQV, KUDL, and KFIX.

Rush later went to work for KMBZ. He dropped the stage name and went on air using his real name. He read the news and this time was allowed to do commentary. But Rush Limbaugh felt it necessary to dwell on political commentaty and logde attacks in the process. Management asked him to ease off but Rush did not. He was fired again.

Rush's first "successful" radio program was in 1984 at KFBK, in Sacramento, California. The station needed someone to replace Morton Downy Jr. Rush was allowed to do harsh, attack oriented commentary as that is what this program sold. In the tradition of his father, Rush espoused conservative ideology but mixed it with preachy pop-psychology (and still does). Rush became a hit as the listening audience was given to being soothed by such rhetoric.

It is quite ironic that Rush realized a big boost for his name and popularity during the Gulf War when Ted Koppel would have Rush Limbaugh on as a guest commentator. The same Rush who avoided serving in Nam through a boil on his posterior and is a great propagator of the myth of the "liberal media", advanced his own name through preaching war and on a program used by conservatives to foist a myth on the populace.

Rush went on to write books and later sign with Premiere Radio Networks where he now makes millions distorting facts, voicing innuendo, reducing awareness, cheerleading war and launching baseless attacks. A million fruit flies can be wrong. They cling to Rush and think he offers valuable information.

Well bach, I looked at your links and that tells the story.

A pilonidal cyst is hardly a pimple as the leftist author suggests.

Here are a few facts courtesy of Bradley E Chatlin, MD, Staff Physician, Department of Emergency Medicine, Denver Health Medical Center
Coauthor(s): Erik D Barton, MD, MS, Associate Director, Assistant Professor, Department of Surgery, Division of Emergency Medicine, University of Utah Health Sciences Center:

"Most doctors think that pilonidal cysts are caused by ingrown hairs. Pilonidal means "nest of hair." It is common to find hair follicles inside the cyst. Another theory is that pilonidal cysts are acquired through trauma to the sacrococcygeal region. During World War II, more than 80,000 soldiers developed pilonidal cysts that required a hospital stay. People thought the cysts were due to irritation from riding in bumpy Jeeps. For a while it was actually called “Jeep disease.”

A pilonidal cyst is an abscess or boil. It needs to be drained, or lanced, to get better. Like other boils, it does not get better with antibiotics. Antibiotics don’t make a pilonidal cyst go away. High rate of recurrence (It is hard to remove the entire cyst, which make come back. It is also usually done in an operating room and requires a specially trained surgeon.) A complete cure is possible. If a pilonidal cyst is not surgically corrected, it can come back. Even if you have surgery, the cyst may return."

Let us also remember something here, you are looking at today's medicine, not medicine from 30+ years ago. The military is not interested in taking folks who require medical care on the assumption that everything will turn out hunky dunky.

This entire article lacks even the semblance of objectivity and reeks with bias. Case in point ... a pimple hardly describes a cyst.

O well.
