And now the liberals want to stop President Reagan from selling chemical warfare agents and military equipment to Saddam Hussein, and why? Because Saddam allegedly gassed a few Kurds in his own country. Mark my words. All of this talk of Saddam Hussein being a war criminal or committing crimes against humanity is the same old thing – liberal hate speech. And speaking of poison gas, I say we round up all the drug addicts and gas them.
- Rush Limbaugh (3 Nov 1988)
I’d love to know the citation for this, to know if it’s a real Rush quote (it had two typos, but that could have been from transcription). It almost sounds like a caricature — but it’s kind of hard to tell the difference with Rush, and the quote is, if real, twenty years old.
UPDATE: And my instincts were correct. Fake, a transcription from a Boondocks comic strip.

Thanks for checking! The quote is Google-UN-shared. Though as you say, it’s difficult to tell satire from reality with that guy.
