Ironic Limbaugh quote from 88 -- How prophetic!!

"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 TOO!"

Rush Limbaugh, Nov. 3, 1988

There was a guy raging about how wonderful the OxyMoron is in my chatroom so I posted the above quote. 6 or 8 republicans immediately left the room. Too funny.

4. It's not a real quote.

It was satirically used in a Boondocks comic strip, but it's fake.

5. It was the RW buzz back then

Edited on Tue Jan-11-05 08:17 PM by LynnTheDem

And would be again today if the left were to start pointing out that it was REAGAN and POPPA BUSH who armed Hussein.

Nobody can FLIP-FLOP as fast as the rightwingnuttery.

8. Smiling.

I did believe it was a Rush statement. I bet even most Rush followers would believe it was, also. That is funny.
