Rush Limbaugh went on a rant against Bay Haven School of Basics Plus (an odd name for a school) based on some bad information from a caller. Yes, more little victims for Rush! The claim was that the school was going to honor Veterans Day by honoring conscientious objectors. During the rant, Limbaugh had his listeners call the school, and of course they became inundated with callers accusing the school of doing something it never intended to do. From Tampa Bay Online:
While office workers took up to 15 phone calls every 10 minutes from Limbaugh listeners and people who had heard about the controversy, Asheim-Dean emphasized that students at the school will gather tomorrow for a color guard.
"We will be honoring our veterans tomorrow in a very traditional way," Asheim-Dean said. "That was the plan from the beginning, and that is the plan now."
