The Oxycotin must be getting to Rush Limbaugh's brain again.

Someone on my Facebook page shared one of his posts, and apparently, we're all going to be attacked by evil Syrian refugee three year olds. Quoted:

"ISIS in Afghanistan shows how to raise young children into jihad, right on the heels of Obama saying, 'You know, those Republicans fear three-year-old orphans?'"

So....in all your pill popping wisdom, Rush, letting in child refugees fleeing Syria is foolish because of what ISIS in Afghanistan is doing?

As much as I hate this rat bastard, I listen to hear the memes the GOP is/will be using.
He was discussing a PBS Frontline episode on Jihad that featured an Afghani family that trains their very small children how to "Jihad" - including showing them training videos of how to make bomb vests, IEDs, shoot weapons, etc. Scary. OxyRush was using this as proof that the GOP's fear of 3 year olds is valid.

Whack - but with a smidgeon of truth spun wildly.

I take that as his listeners, and Fox News believers, not being allowed to know about Christie's statement.

You don't have to have a brain to have your own radio station, talk show, tv program etc.. Just the ability to blow large amounts of hot air over long periods of time will do.

Look at Bill O'Lielly, Dick Cheney, Michael Savage, Dennis Hastert, Tom Delay, Mitt Romney, Donald Trump, and dozens more repukes who turned 18 during the draft.
