Oh get real Limbaugh, you are not that important, outside of your brain-dead sychophant listeners.

Rush Limbaugh accused President Obama of plagiarizing him during his speech at the United Nations on Wednesday.
Obama’s speech drew attention mostly for his insistence that the Palestinian delegation drop its attempt to be recognized by the UN as a fully independent state. Limbaugh, though, focused on what he seemed to think was Obama’s overuse of some of his favorite aphorisms.
Apparently, Limbaugh wrote a 1988 column that contained his “35 Undeniable Truths of Life.” (The full list is a very vintage document.) One of them, he said, was uttered “verbatim” by Obama at the U.N.: “peace does not mean the absence of war.” (Technically, Obama said that “peace is more than just the absence of war.”)
“I feel like I have been plagiarized,” Limbaugh said. “…No, no! Of course he didn’t credit me.” He also accused Obama of cribbing from his 14th “undeniable truth,” “to free peoples, peace means the absence of threats and the presence of justice.”
Limbaugh said it was “almost like somebody in the regime read this and liked portions of it and lifted it for his speech.”

You know, I think Apollo had a similar line in an episode of the original “Battlestar Galactica.” Maybe Limbaugh ripped him off?
Or any of the other people who have said the same thing over the millenia?
