Former Abductee Responds To Rush Limbaugh’s LRA Comments [VIDEO]
Edited on Thu Oct-20-11 01:53 AM by Adenoid_Hynkel

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.

<...>


Her video begins with the simple text, “Dear Mr. Limbaugh,” and then Apoko begins talking, finding the words difficult either because of tears or her wounds.

Will the right's favorite drug addict apologize? If not, will the GOP condemn Rush? Does he still speak for them? Every Republican politician who has ever kissed his ass (Bush, Cheney, Boehner, Palin, etc) should be asked this by the media.
