Do you think Rush Limbaugh deserved the presidential Medal of Freedom?

Asked by Demosthenes (14937points) February 5th, 2020

Please try and say more than just “yes” or “no”. I can guess how some Flutherites will answer, but let’s try and expand on this a bit and not just turn this into “I hate Rush/Trump” or “I love Rush/Trump”. Rush and Trump are polarizing figures, I get it.

The questions I’m interested in are:
1. Is the Medal of Freedom meaningful? What kind of person deserves it? Here is a list of recipients: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Presidential_Medal_of_Freedom_recipients
2. Was the SOTU an appropriate venue to announce an award?
3. Was the award only given because of Rush’s cancer diagnosis? Was the award only given to piss off Democrats (which is like shooting fish in a barrel for Trump, but I digress…)?

Let’s discuss and speculate. :)
