Limbaugh Calls Poor Children Receiving Free School Meals "Wanton Little Waifs And Serfs Dependent On The State"
December 12, 2011 2:43 pm ET
Listen to this all the way through. When I saw the headline I thought he must be trying one of his lame attempts at satire, but he's not. He's clearly of the very serious opinion that feeding needy children is wrong because they won't learn how to feed themselves. He especially objects to feeding them during the summer time, but says that this is to be expected because by feeding them during the school year they have become "wanton little waifs and serfs dependent on the state."
I guess he thinks poor second graders should get jobs so they can buy food. Apparently, he's now supporting Newtie.

I don't understand how even his dittoheads tolerate him these days.

From the looks of Limbaugh, he could probably finish a kindergarten class by lunchtime.
