In the latest installment of Racist Theater, Rush Limbaugh (pictured) has a bone to pick with the coverage of captured Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhakar Tsarnaev. Rush takes issue with the way in which the media — excuse me, the “liberal media” — has shown images of Tsarnaev when he was as young as 14 years old. According to the conservative radio host, such depictions are intended to make him appear as a “normal” or a “mixed-up” kid to the public, instead of an accused terrorist and killer.
Rush lamented, “They’re regularly showing a photo of Dzhokhar that was taken when he was about 14. Soft, angelic, nice little boy. Harmless. Cute. Big, loveable eyes.” As Limbaugh points out, this is “not at all what he looks like today.” The same goes for Osama bin Laden, when he is shown “in his shepherd pose with his walking stick, walking through the mountains or whatever,” he added.
Of course, there’s a catch and his stupidity is two-fold.
