Rush Limbaugh: Removal Of Confederate Flag Is About "Destroying The South"
http://mediamatters.org/video/2015/06/23/rush-limbaugh-removal-of-confederate-flag-is-ab/204108
Limbaugh grew up in Missouri, and one of the big names on the radio there was Billy James Hargis, a preacher who described anything *HE* didn't like, as "communism."
Rock and Roll
Integration
Etc...
But listen to Hargis here railing against John F. Kennedy, and tell me who he sounds like.
Hargis self-destructed when two people he performed a marriage ceremony for confessed to each other that they both had had sex with Hargis.

(16,254 posts)This Hargis guy sounds familiar. No wonder so many people in the Midwest were scared of Communism. I remember hearing that the Russians sent the Beatles over to influence our young people and poison their minds. (I was one of those young people at the time and that was a warning from parents that made us laugh.)
That's how sick the rumors were. Actually, those rumors weren't too far from what the RW is saying about Obama today. Sick minds that will never change.
