YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"Rush Limbaugh may have stooped to a new low.
On his radio show yesterday, Limbaugh mocked the children appearing alongside President Obama at Wednesday's announcement of gun safety measures, calling them "human shields."
"Obama uses kids as human shields, " Limbaugh told his listeners. "He brings these kids who supposedly wrote letters to the White House after Newtown, bring them up there to present a picture of support among the children for the president to do something about guns. It's gonna be very difficult, very difficult to oppose it."*
