From the June 9 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: They [mainstream journalist Leftists] have spent their lives since the Reagan Presidency trying to rewrite those eight years, and they have -- they -- they have no choice but then to face full square their failure, by simply witnessing public events this week...Their effort to rewrite the '80s has failed. And they know it. So they're starting all over again. They're continuing it. ... [H]e [Reagan] didn't do enough to stop AIDS. And he did -- he did -- he didn't anything for AIDS, so he's anti-gay.
[...]
LIMBAUGH: And remember, back then in the '80s, one of the accompanying -- there -- there -- there -- there was a lot of fear-mongering going on around -- about AIDS, as a lot of people were scared about it. And one of the things that -- that the -- the AIDS activists said regularly back then was, oh, this is only a matter of time before it spreads to the heterosexual community. It's only a matter of time.
And they used that as -- as one of the weapons to try to get people like Reagan to start talking about it from their standpoint. And of course it -- it hasn't. It -- it didn't, and it hasn't, other than in Africa, and in Africa it is -- it is being spread not just by -- it -- it -- it's promiscuity that -- that -- that spreads this, if you want to know the truth. It's promiscuity.
But it -- it hasn't made that jump to the heterosexual community.
[...]
And when Reagan would not go to the bully pulpit and say what they wanted said, despite the money he spent, he was allowing people to die from AIDS, because he wasn't spreading the propaganda about it they wanted spread.
I think we need to do some investigation into Oxycontin and brain damage.
