Club G'itmo Paraphenalia


I was shocked and angered when I received an e-mail from a friend of mine showing me the incredible ignorance and arrogance displayed by the extreme radio arm of the right-wing, Rush Limbaugh.
I would normally never mention someone so full of shit as Rush Limbaugh, but he and his followers have gone too far this time.
The EIB (Excellence in Broadcasting) and Rush are now selling products making fun of prison abuses and inhumane treatment of prisoners at Gauntanimo Detention Facility in Cuba. Both the Red Cross and Amnesty International have made formal complaints about prisoner abuses at Gauntanimo and Abu Garab prisons.
Rush likened the abuses as that of a "Fraternity prank" by US soldiers and interrogaters on his radio program shortly after the abuse photos and information became public.


Now Rush is continuing to promote ignorance and intolerance by selling car flags, coffee mugs and tee shirts poking fun of our governments breaking of the Geneva Conventions. The "war on Terror" has been used to extract information by torture and inhumane treatment of prisoners by our military and intelligence communities, many who have not even been charged with a crime.
I'd like to send Rush on a Club G'itmo vacation package because I think he would soon have a change of heart once the Oxycontin wore off.
What a sick son of a bitch!!
