The crass insincerity of Rusty Limbo

There’s no debating whether Limbaugh is a buffoon. Further evidence:

March 30

Obama and Mrs. Clinton are suggesting now that we make it official, that we start arming the rebels in Libya. They are suggesting that we arm Al-Qaeda – and yet, ladies and gentlemen, we, you and me, are the extremists. We are arming Al-Qaeda in Libya!

This guy’s got a chip on his shoulder about the country. He doesn’t believe in exceptionalism about America, doesn’t believe in America’s greatness. One of the reasons he’s not doing anything in Libya with Khadafy — has anybody got a clue? — is he doesn’t believe we have the moral authority to do anything other than mouth a bunch of words in the first place.

Can we at least agree that too many people have opinions on subjects they know nothing about? Why would anyone listen to Limbaugh, or Ed Schultz, for that matter, on Libya. Their opinions aren’t formed on experience or knowledge, just regurgitated talking points.

There’s good reason to oppose the military intervention in Libya, but “because Obama supports it” isn’t one of them. That’s nothing more than fourth-grade ideology.
