Rush Limbaugh wins children's book author of the year award

[Old Rocks]

But if a liberal drug addict, obese, drunk, drug smuggler had tried to make himself the hero, we'd never hear the end of it.

He can posture and jiggle all he wants but he is not worthy to call himself Rush Revere.

Really, that's just trashy and exactly what we have all come to expect from him.

Let him write all the books he wants but he is no hero.

LOL do you care that terrorists who have blown up the Pentagon, Capitol and Senate, committing murders and kidnappings write books and teach our children?

Nah, I did not think so. I personally can't stand the man but the hypocrisy is hilarious.

So what if Rush had a drug problem. Every other person is molly coddled when they are drug addicts, or use illegal substances. In fact we give them free syringes and places to shoot up. Some former illicit drug users are elected as president of the United States.

Thousands of people die from heroin overdoses every year, but, the only one who mattered was Philip Seymour Hoffman, found his dealer within a matter of hours. 730 fatal overdoses in NYC alone last year, but Hoffman mattered. Fuck the rest, give those New Yorkers' more needles so they can shoot up more!

Can't say one person addicted or illicit drug user is any different from another. They are all the same, some just treated a little more special.

What the bubble headed libtard jerk off piss for brains like buttlypoundrite fail to mention is, Limbaugh USED to be addicted to PRESCRIPTION oxycodone, that he got LEGALLY prescribed to him for back pain, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in the same predicament. The drug is an opiate which is not only good for pain, but also gives the user a very nice feeling. It is HIGHLY addictive, and can happen to ANYONE. It doesn't make you a bad person. In fact Rush got the help he needed and broke the addiction. He should be commended.

Like hell he got it legally. Had some poor slob with just a normal job doctor shopped as he did, that person would have been sent up.

"Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. ... And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up," Limbaugh said on his short-lived television show on Oct. 5, 1995.

Not sticking up for Rush here, but many of those who become addicted to pain medication see it different than what they deem as 'drugs'. If I recall correctly he became addicted after years of being prescribed the drug then sought it through his housekeeper?

For whatever reason those who become addicted do not equate it as the same. Since its' 'a legal drug". I had a co-worker who became addicted after a shoulder dislocation while playing football. He never saw what he was doing and used the same rationalization-'its legal'. He lost his friends, and nearly his job before he finally got help.

In fact, Obama's cocaine use was a felony in Hawaii, and had he been caught would have no doubt kept him from becoming POTUS.
Just think, one little snort in the backseat of a friends car, and had it been pulled over by a cop, we wouldn't be dealing with this fuck right now. We were that close to never having to deal with the political career of Adolf Obama.

Good for him.

Have to give the Scholastic people credit. When the left demanded that Rush be pulled from the list of nominees, they refused.

Rush Limbaugh wins children’s book award

NEW YORK (AP) - Rush Limbaugh has won a children’s book prize designed to be chosen by kids themselves.

But that doesn’t mean all of his voters were young people.

On Wednesday night, Limbaugh received the Children’s Choice Book Award for author of the year, defeating such superstars as Veronica Roth, Rick Riordan and “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” writer Jeff Kinney, the winner in 2012 and 2013. The conservative commentator won for “Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims,” a book that landed on the best-seller lists of Amazon.com and other outlets despite limited mainstream coverage.

Nominees for best author are determined by how many copies their books sell, while the winners are supposedly picked by kids, who vote online. But executive director Robin Adelson of the Children’s Book Council and Every Child a Reader, nonprofit organizations that co-founded the awards seven years ago, acknowledged Thursday that adults could easily vote and vote multiple times, a problem not uncommon for Internet competitions.

“Every one of our finalists gets fake votes every year,” Adelson told The Associated Press. “We like to think that’s the enthusiasm of adults who love children’s books.”

Adelson cited three ways that people can vote: a widget that can be embedded in such popular kids’ websites as Poptropica, a link on the awards website (CBC) that allows individuals to vote and a link on the awards site that allows teachers, librarians and others to submit bulk votes on behalf of their institution.

Adelson said she doubted that parents or other grown-ups were voting through Poptropica, but acknowledged the awards site was more likely to be manipulated. An individual voter can vote multiple times and does not need to provide a verifiable email address or proof of his or her age. Bulk voters are required to submit a verifiable email, but there is no guarantee that a given teacher or librarian is really expressing the wishes of others.

“We send emails and make phone calls. A lot of manual labor goes into verifying (bulk voters),” Adelson said. “Do we catch them all? Of course not.”

Finalists were announced in March, when Limbaugh touted his nomination on his radio show and on his website, Home - Rush Limbaugh - The Rush Limbaugh Show . Adelson said Limbaugh initially enjoyed a wide lead, but that voting tightened considerably in the final weeks and the outcome was “fair and close.”

“It’s not as if he received millions of votes and everybody else and received 10,” she said. “It was far, far closer.”

Adelson said total votes this year only increased modestly, from 1.1 million to 1.2 million, and added that voting has generally gone up each year. She emphasized the awards have no mission beyond encouraging kids to read.

“We’ve received some hate mail,” she said. “We’ve been accused of endorsing Rush Limbaugh and supporting Rush Limbaugh. We endorse and support children.”

I imagine adults did most of the voting. Children do not care about politics, except where they have political issues foisted upon them by adults.

Review: 'Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims' by Rush Limbaugh - Chicago Tribune


<Rush Revere is the author's alter ego, a substitute middle-school history teacher who dresses like Paul Revere and time-travels with his magical horse named Liberty.

Rush and Liberty, sometimes accompanied by two bright students, go back in time to the Pilgrims' Atlantic crossing on the Mayflower and the establishment of the Plymouth colony. Many of the book's details line up well with historical accounts.

Limbaugh's political viewpoint certainly shows up, but less than you might expect. He even defines "American exceptionalism" in a manner unlikely to offend Rachel Maddow: "It does not mean that we Americans are better than anyone else. It ... means that America is special because it is different from all other countries in history."

Limbaugh, like other conservatives, seizes upon the Pilgrims' story as an example of the terrible things that can happen when people pool their resources in a collectivist manner. The author seems particularly offended by the idea of a "Common House" at Plymouth. To him, the pilgrims suffered from the evils of Common-ism (my word, not Limbaugh's) and survived only by belatedly injecting individualism and free enterprise into their settlement.
>

<Limbaugh is also wrong in the same way that much of American history is wrong — in deifying the founding fathers. Limbaugh declares that they "believed all people were born to be free as individuals." The founding fathers were great in many ways, but the fact is, four of the first five presidents owned slaves. If they believed all people should be free, they certainly didn't act on it.>

Almost impossible to even discuss US history without 'opinions'. Somewhat disturbed at some of the ideas Limbaugh seems to present and more concerned about those of the article's author.

Much was said when PBS or NPR produced a cartoon series on US history---many well known celebs were involved. So 'whatever floats your boat'? I watched it a few times--never noticed anything 'upsetting'. Probably miss a lot.

Liberty's Kids

The Theme Song is performed by: Aaron Carter and Kayla I see a land with liberty for all Next thing I know the truth will rise and fall That's just the way it goes A word now to the wise The world was made to change Each day is a surprize I'm looking at life with my own eyes I'm searching for a hero to idolize Feeling the pain as innocence dies I'm looking at life through my own eyes I'll take my heart into battle Give that freedom bell a raddle Get my independence signed Declare for it on the dotted line Let Philadelphia freedom ring and patriotic voices sing Red, White and Blue Never give up You represent America! I'm hoping and praying for a brighter day I listen to my heart and I obey How can I see it any other way? I'm looking at life through my own eyes

No--the leaders of the nation should not have owned slaves. I can only assume that in the process of creating a new nation---there was chaos. No excuse I suppose. I would want my child to think critically about politics.

Based on this, he's delivering a false view of American history, which is not only sad but dangerous.

It’s also consistent with the propensity of most conservatives to disdain the truth and facts, which often conflict with rightist dogma.

The best part about it is how much it pisses off the liberals.

Even though the likelihood is that most of the voting was probably done by adults? Think about it, logically if you can. The fan base for Limbaugh is not children. His fan base is adults, and he focuses on political issues. Without any push from adults, right or left wing, children are not interested in politics. They like a good story and a simple good versus evil theme, which is why Harry Potter novels are so popular.

I am not 'pissed off' by this Limbaugh award, but I find it very, very sad that rightwingers are so rampant in their desire to try to paint America as being behind the kind of thing Limbaugh represents that they would use children this way and try to warp reality. Left on their own, children prefer reading good stories that do not present any specific political slant.

Your post, sj. points out that you care more about partisan politics than children. And, that meshes with the overwhelming impression that the right gives in that they also care more about partisan politics than the good of the country.

You're the one who cares more about partisan politics than children.

You're so consumed by your hatred for the man you can't understand that he just might have other talents and interests. It must be hell being so full of hate.

That's a very ironic statement coming from you. I believe that the vehement and vicious television and radio people like Limbaugh are mainly at fault for the extreme partisan politics in today's America. Nothing like this was in existence before such people began to be media sensations.

I don't hate Limbaugh because I don't personalize it and because politics is not the center of my life by any means. What does disturb me is the vitriolic and partisan atmosphere that infuses American politics and social issues nowadays. It is destroying America. I don't know who said it, but it goes something like America will destroy itself from within; it will not be destroyed by outside entities. The American people themselves are far more of a threat to the country than Al-Qaeda terrorists, or any kind of terrorist.

People like Limbaugh are responsible for much of the extreme divisiveness in America today. The fact that a book or series of books he wrote, focusing on politics, has been voted by internet readers as most popular simply indicates that people are using political views to slant reality. I know children and I know what they like to read: children are not interested in politics. This 'award' is a false award based on adults who are fans of Limbaugh. It is not based on what children love. Children love stories like Harry Potter. That is the reality.

The contents of the book and the type of things he writes, the themes he presents, all have been outlined above. There are many, many works of literature I want to read. I don't have time to read something a right wing hack writes. I'm not intereted enough in politics to read political work from anyone, right or left. I am interested in literature for my reading: art, not politics.

That's a very ironic statement coming from you. I believe that the vehement and vicious television and radio people like Limbaugh are mainly at fault for the extreme partisan politics in today's America. Nothing like this was in existence before such people began to be media sensations.

I don't hate Limbaugh because I don't personalize it and because politics is not the center of my life by any means. What does disturb me is the vitriolic and partisan atmosphere that infuses American politics and social issues nowadays. It is destroying America. I don't know who said it, but it goes something like America will destroy itself from within; it will not be destroyed by outside entities. The American people themselves are far more of a threat to the country than Al-Qaeda terrorists, or any kind of terrorist.

People like Limbaugh are responsible for much of the extreme divisiveness in America today. The fact that a book or series of books he wrote, focusing on politics, has been voted by internet readers as most popular simply indicates that people are using political views to slant reality. I know children and I know what they like to read: children are not interested in politics. This 'award' is a false award based on adults who are fans of Limbaugh. It is not based on what children love. Children love stories like Harry Potter. That is the reality.

So, you've read the book and it's a hateful and political book that kids hate? Or are you just spewing your venom because you hate Limbaugh? I think it's obviously the latter, being that your entire post was a rant against Rush, without any knowledge of the contents of the book that won him the award that you just KNOW was false and based on his fans. But you're not full of hate, are you?

The contents of the book has been outlined above. There are many, many works of literature I want to read. I don't have time to read something a right wing hack writes.

Well, the thread is about the book, so why do you keep ranting about Rush, if you have no interest in it, can't resist the opportunity to express your hatred of Rush? Perhaps you're not honest enough to admit it.
