Rush Limbaugh selection in children(CNN) - Rush Limbaugh - radio host, conservative firebrand and... children's book author of the year?The Children’s Book Council and its Every Child a Reader program released on Thursday their author-of-the-year finalists for their annual Children’s and Teen Choice Book Awards.
Limbaugh is one of the four finalists, and his nomination has prompted outrage on social media, given the host’s often-incendiary nature.
Limbaugh's book is titled, "Rush Revere and The Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans" – a time-traveling tale of colonial America and the latest of two books in the "Rush Revere Series" published last year by Simon & Schuster.
Thats like having Geobbels write a children book. lol
BAHAHAHA!! I don't know which would be worse for the child.
Here's one guaranteed to set off nightmares of pantsuits devouring young children.

Now I'll have to vote for her twice.

If you have kids, or nieces/nephews you want to get interested in American History, these are some good reads.
Isn't that how every Democrat votes? Twice per election.

Retarded comparison, a complete demonstration if Godwin's rule and a good example of why you have the most appropriate username on the forum.
I wonder how many people who will, no doubt, trash this book have actually read it. I haven't, so maybe it is complete garbage. On the other hand, I'm not offended either by the thought of a book that's actually positive about our nations beginnings.

"Feminazi."
Granted, it's somewhat absurd to fact-check a book that features a talking horse who transports people into the past and sometimes makes himself invisible. But there are plenty of real facts in the book. And perhaps even more noteworthy is the book's tone, which bears little resemblance to Limbaugh's bombastic, confrontational radio show.
This book is downright sweet. And warm. And positive.
It also has an unsophisticated and even corny sense of humor that may underestimate 13-year-olds. But it's never mean-spirited.
Rush Revere is the author's alter ego, a substitute middle-school history teacher who dresses like Paul Revere and time-travels with his magical horse named Liberty.
Rush and Liberty, sometimes accompanied by two bright students, go back in time to the Pilgrims' Atlantic crossing on the Mayflower and the establishment of the Plymouth colony. Many of the book's details line up well with historical accounts.
Limbaugh's political viewpoint certainly shows up, but less than you might expect. He even defines "American exceptionalism" in a manner unlikely to offend Rachel Maddow: "It does not mean that we Americans are better than anyone else. It ... means that America is special because it is different from all other countries in history."
Review: 'Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims' by Rush Limbaugh - Chicago Tribune
The 15 best lines from Rush Limbaugh’s historical fanfiction about himself.
Yes, Rush Revere has a talking, time-traveling, time-stopping horse named Liberty who is always hungry. Also, he befriends a quarterback named Tommy and a girl of Native American heritage named Freedom (who can talk to animals with her mind?). He goes back to 1620 and 1621 to teach Pilgrim leader William Bradford about, among other things, the evils of redistributionist economics. I am in no way exaggerating this.
It is basically historical fanfiction that Rush Limbaugh has written about himself — okay, about “Rush Revere” — where he pals around with Pilgrim leaders Myles Standish and William Bradford. And if you don’t believe that this is every bit as amazing as it sounds.
If Mr. Limbaugh wants to stop doing the radio thing and write these books full time, I would be heartily in favor of it. He has a definite gift.

Doesn't take away from your Godwinning the thread. Have you read the books? I have no use for Limbaugh personally, but that does not mean he might not have a talent for writing interesting children's books, and I strongly approve of the notion of kid's books that promote an interest in history, so I am not going to jump to conclusions about them.
14. “In a way, [mean girl] Elizabeth was like Massasoit. She was the leader or sachem of this school. Students either feared or revered her. She watched and waited for any sign of weakness in her classmates or any opportunity to send the message that she was in control. I wondered when our next meeting would be. And I wondered what happened in the meeting between the Pilgrims and Massassoit. I doubt Massassoit had brought pink cupcakes.”
13. “I mean you might be a mugger or a zombie or even worse, a vacuum cleaner salesman!” (This doesn’t make more sense in context.)
12. William [Bradford] pointed to the frame on the ground and said, “This will be the Common House. It is one of the first buildings. It belongs to everyone. We’ve agreed to set aside our want of personal property or personal gain and instead create a community where the houses and buildings and profits belong to everyone. We are trying to create a fair and equal society.”
8. As [Native American visitor to the colony] Somoset used his hand to sample each item, William turned to us and whispered, “He seems like an honest fellow and eager to befriend us.”
“Yes, but can we trust him to stay with us overnight?” asked Myles, suspiciously.
“Rush Revere, what do you think?” said William.
7. I approached William [Bradford] and said, “That was a difficult situation but you handled it well.”
6. “You are always thinking of the future, Rush Revere,” said William, smiling. “I like that about you.”
5. As we finished our sticks of salted beef, I walked over to William and said, “I just wanted to say that I think you make a fine leader.”
William said, “Thank you, Rush Revere.”
4. As we reached the gangplank William Bradford recognized me and said, “Rush Revere! It does my heart good to see you again.”
Thats like having Geobbels write a children book. lol
Not even close. They are very good books. And despite the bull****, Limbaugh isn't the boogeyman you want him to be.
He is just another moron showman trying to pad his own pockets by running his mouth.
There are too many of these money-grubbing stooges around these days.
My Golden Retriever is more of a leader and visionary.
Haters gonna hate. Mans been top of radio for how many years now?
