In yet another of his attempts to whip up the uneducated and uninformed masses of Red-Publican listeners, Rush "His Fatness" Limbaugh has made wild, unfounded accusations against our POTUS.
He accurately reports that Obama is sending troops to Uganda to help quell some violence. Where he gets it all KINDS of crazy wrong is when he uses the name of the violent group to support his accusations.
The LRA, or "Lord's Resistance Army" certainly sounds like it would be the sort of thing Limbaugh would support.
The problem lies in the fact that the name is just that: A name. And, as Shakespeare once wrote A Rose, By Any Other Name Would Smell As Sweet. and, by inference, A Death Squad, By Any Other Name Would Kill/Kidnap/Maim/Rape/Pillage As Much.
And, Limbaugh has done his usual quality work when it comes to finding out what he's talking about. Or, for those not familiar with his "quality work", you could just assume I mean :
As Little As Possible.(He read the Wikipedia page that was created and edited by the LRA...)
Here is the comedic breakdown of events, by Stephen Colbert, of The Colbert Report. Yes, Colbert plays it for laughs, but as my kid would say: "It's Funny, Because It's True."
