Heartbreaking: Former Abductee Responds To Rush Limbaugh’s LRA Comments - VIDEO
Heartbreaking: Former Abductee Responds To Rush Limbaugh’s LRA Comments

Recently, President Obama authorized the deployment of 100 military advisers to help forces in Africa fight the Lord’s Resistance Army. Quickly, Rush Limbaugh criticized the President, accusing him of sending troops to fight a “Christian group” just because it was at war with Muslims. Unfortunately though, Limbaugh was either unaware of or chose to disregard a small detail about the LRA; they are actually a terroristic militant group that is responsible for the brutal massacre of thousands and the kidnapping, beating, and brainwashing of tens of thousands of African children.

Well, Limbaugh certainly knows now. Amidst a surge of controversy over his comments, one of those kidnapped children, now grown, has recorded a message for the radio host and it is truly heartbreaking.

Evelyn Apoko is now 22 years old and works with the Strongheart Fellowship Program, a non-profit group designed to “help bright, resilient young people from extremely challenging circumstances around the globe.” However, her scarred face shows the pain she once faced.

3. Rec'd
Between Limbaugh's bloviating stupidity that this is a "Christian war" and many on the "left" saying that those 100 troops are being sent in to secure Uganda's oil (each one of those troops must be 9 feet tall with two heads, 8 arms and superhuman strength in order to secure the oil fields of an entire country) I honestly don't know which line of attack is more idiotic.

My heart goes out to that young woman. But if she thinks she's changing Limbaugh's black heart or closed mind, she may be disappointed.
