Just as an unrequested addendum to Bob Patterson’s fine article below, here’s what spoiled rich boy Rush posted on his website along with his diatribe mocking poor kids.
Somehow ‘screaming a-hole’ just isn’t strong enough for this arrogant lowlife bastard. I wonder if his working-class and barely white-collar listeners, most of them one paycheck away from abject poverty themselves, really think crap like this is funny -– making fun of poor people’s kids? Some of their kids are no doubt taking advantage of free school lunch programs, too — I wonder if they make the connection?
Not that many Dittoheads ever heard of Anatole France, but they might recognize Rush’s demented philosophy in this quote:
“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.”
France also wrote this line that applies to Rush’s audience:
“It is better to understand little than to misunderstand a lot.”
