Rush Limbaugh on Saddam Hussein

[ck4829]

"And now the liberals want to stop President Reagan from selling
chemical warfare agents and military equipment to Saddam Hussein, and
why? Because Saddam 'allegedly' gassed a few Kurds in his own
country. Mark my words. All of this talk of Saddam Hussein being
a 'war criminal' or 'committing crimes against humanity' is the same
old thing. LIBERAL HATE SPEECH! And speaking of poison gas . . . I
SAY WE ROUND UP ALL THE DRUG ADDICTS AND GAS THEM."
Rush Limbaugh, Nov. 3, 1988

2. Oh, that HAS to be a joke, right?

How come that is the first I've ever heard of that quote?????

How come it wasn't posted on billboards all over America????

3. Too good to be true

Especially without a link

4. If this is true

forward it to Al Franken...he would eat this up!!

Mom's against Bush

edit...found the above link!

5. Far as I can tell, the quote (regrettably) is not legit:

It supposedly came from a 1988 "classic" Boondocks strip.

Boondocks did not exist before 1999.

I could be wrong, but I don't see a single mention of it in the Newsgroups from 1988 to 2002.

8. It was a joke...

supposed to be what Rush would be saying back in '88.

6. Edited to correct the link

7. Some people say he could have said this

sounds like him anyway.
