CAITLIN MACNEAL MAY 15, 2014, 4:56 PM EDT
Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Thursday said that Hillary Clinton's "only and greatest achievement" is that she's a woman, and that's why many Democrats are eager for her to run for president.
During his show, Limbaugh discussed a recent video in which young people excited about the possibility of Clinton running struggled to name any of her concrete achievements as secretary of state.
These people readily acknowledge that they dont know anything about they cant name one achievement," he said. "And yet they are enthusiastic about her becoming President. And you know why? Because she would be the first woman."
He then launched into an argument that Democrats are focused on electing a someone who's part of a minority group as President because he or she will be immune to criticism.
"One of the reasons why Mrs. Clinton is back in the mix is because of gender. And if it isn't Mrs. Clinton, the Democrats are going to go for an Hispanic, because they see what they have pulled off here with Obama," he argued. "The first African-American President beyond criticism. You can't criticize anything, you can't chronicle his failures, you can't do anything because you're being racist. And the Democrats have learned this."

What has Rush Limbaugh done for anyone? That's an honest, objective question. He goes on the radio and gives his own opinion for 3 hours a day. How has that changed the world for the better in any type of respect?

(45,851 posts)Talk radio is all about angering the listener, getting them emotionally involved in the show.
It does not matter whether you agree or disagree with the host, the objective is to get you angry, that's the easiest emotion to reliably evoke and it's as addictive as any drug. People will keep coming back for more anger, it's actually a pretty good remedy for physical tiredness and it can help you through a long and boring day.
So if you hear what Limbaugh says and get angry he has won.
Do this instead.

(4,190 posts)not Senator Clinton or Secretary Clinton, as is proper. Because, as posts up thread have pointed out, Senator and Secretary are, indeed, accomplishments....

(30,247 posts)That's rich, just on that achievement alone she would have been ahead of him.
Hillary's achievements are so extensive that it would take several posts to list.
Limbaugh always imparts verbal turds because he knows they are like catnip to his audience. It's not worth taking seriously anything this bloviating windbag expounds on, it gives him more importance that he deserves.
