Limbaugh Re-Interprets Thanksgiving. Get Ready For Other Holiday Re-Interpretatons
Click here for more.

<snip>

Keeping in the spirit of his re-interpretaton of Thanksgiving, listeners may want to mark their calendars now, in case Limbaugh spews these other re-interpretations of upcoming holidays:

-- "The Real Story Of Hanukkah" (Dec. 16). "What the left won't tell you is that Hanukkah shows how desperate people can become if they don't have a sensible, pro-growth energy policy. Had these Jews committed to exploratory drilling, they may have had oil not just for eight days, but hundreds."

-- "The Real Story Of Christmas" (Dec. 25). "Santa Claus is representative of the success of American capitalism. Here we have a sole proprietor who succeeds because he doesn't have to worry about elfen labor laws. If the liberals had their way, Santa's workshop would have been closed years ago."

-- "The Real Story Of Martin Luther King Day" (Jan. 15). "The liberals don't want you to know that King was a Republican, and would not have supported the creation of this holiday. I believe there are quotes from King saying other Americans are more deserving. The fact that those Americans are white males is irrelevant."

1. The real story
is that the Pilgrims came to the New World financed by capitalist adventurers. They didn't find the gold they hoped; instead they nearly starved to death-only the Wampanoags stepped in to help out. Actually, the experiment in socialism Limpaws talks about was survival mode for these folks.

2. He's seriously disturbed
He knows the world is the way he wants it to be, so he's put his right-wing spin on Thanksgiving.

5. absolutely
he could spin anything to sound as if it were orchestrated by Ken Mehlman or Karl Rove, even if it took place hundreds of years ago. It's part of his agenda -- that our nation has always favored traditional conservative values ... like slavery, and child labor, and women being barefoot and pregnant. SARCASM

3. Rushitbag is no more qualified to speak on these matters than Charles Manson
Who the hell is this drug-riddled clown, anyway?

6. in the comments field on JABBS
one conservative tries to defend Rush by saying that some teachers around the country prefer to teach things as is, and not the giving thanks mumbo jumbo.

Is this an actual movement, or just a fringe thing?
