Mr. Limbaugh is often wrong in my book, but mostly right here. Rosen's comments were inflammatory and stupid.

My husband worked his way up from the floor to management through his hard work and long hours so the burden was on me most of the time. And like MItt Romney he oftens has complimented me on the fact that my job was harder. I have held...
I respect your choices and your accomplishments, but to deny that there is a fundamental effort meant to divide the average citizen into groups of victims is near-sighted. Incrementalism is the way we have gotten to this point, and it's about time we started "roaring" that we've had enough.
