The difference between Rachel Maddow and Rush Limbaugh:

Rachel Maddow is brilliant with a Ph.D. in political science from Oxford University.

Rush Limbaugh is an obtuse-thinking boneheaded college dropout and oxycontin addict with zero political credentials.

Tell that to your right wing "friends" when they challenge you on where you get your sources of information as compared to them.

1. She does not just have a PhD, she is also a Rhodes scholar

A Rhodes scholarship is considered to be the most prestigious academic honor a person can receive, only a small handful of people receive the honor and nearly everyone who does receive it goes on to do great things. Whether people agree with her or not, there is no denying that Rachel Maddow is an extremely intelligent woman.

Limbaugh on the other hand...most second graders seem to be a lot smarter than he is.

I think all the Oxycontin has killed the few brain cells Limpbaugh had left.

With the answer being one. Rush hasn't exploded yet. Other then that they are both big fat balloons full of hot air.

and be proud of Limbaugh as being a great self made man who overcame the odds.

Ya can't win when you try to deal with people who can't distinguish between left and wrong.

11. Reason Right Wingers Hate Rachel Maddow and others
Tue Dec 24, 2013, 08:17 PM
Dec 2013

The reason right wingers hate Rachel Maddow as well as others (mostly from the left) is because those on the right wing cannot tolerate those who are more intelligent than they are. They instead prefer to listen to the drivel of useless windbags like Limbaugh because those like Limbaugh appeal more to the less intelligent crowd.
