To clarify, Rush Limbaugh is NOT trying to start a riot

Rush Though he did say riots during the Democratic convention in Denver would be good for the Republicans. He also sang "I'm dreaming of riots in Denver" to the tune of "White Christmas" on his show yesterday, but that's just Rush being Rush, right?

Apparently, several Denver officials are not members of the Limbaugh Nation.
And it should be noted that some Democrats have promised "trouble" at the convention:

On Wednesday, Limbaugh had been discussing comments by the Rev. Al Sharpton, who had warned of "trouble" at the convention if the nomination was wrested away from Barack Obama by superdelegates.

Comments

Wow... this moron Rush made some more sick comments that are just idiotic?

Seriously, when can he be fired or just OD off of Oxycotin?

This whole thing is just stupid. It really shows how the democrats/media are grasping at anything they can to make the repubs. look bad. I think it makes them look like idiots for creating all of this drama out of a small joke on a radio show.

Fired for what? Sick comments? I've heard way worse things said on other radio shows. Think Howard Stern, Lazlo from 96.5, etc... Not to mention that you just made a sick comment about hoping that someone would OD and die. Hypocrits. Only because he is affiliated with a certain political party does everyone make a big deal out of it.

Al Franken was right. Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot.
Lindsay is right. There is a lot of venom and vitriol on the air, and Rush Limbaugh is but one small insignificant piece of it.
I am right. Nothing Rush says is worth the airwaves it floats over.

hahaha the demoweenies are crying because Rush said something they didn't like. Nothing like free speech eh? Oh yea as long as the lefty pinkos agree it's okay to have free speech.

Good gawd can the left cry anymore?

Blarney!

I'm sure the repubs love Rushes theory to demolish the democratic party by sabotaging the primaries by encouraging republicans to go and switch to dem and then vote for hillary to keep a scary black man out of office just because he'll be hard to beat in a general election and the other person is hillary, who many democrats won't even vote for.

LINDSAY!


Yea R2, I'm sure the whole Republican party is quaking in their boots in fear of the guy who has nothing to show for his time as an elected offical thus far, has a psycho church and pastor, history of Marxist support and also a terrorist as one of his best buddies. I'm sure everyone is afraid of Obama. LOLOLOL!

Thats not Rush's theory. The switching of parties to vote in the opponent's primary has been around for a long time. BTW, i'm not trying to insult your writing skills, but it would be much easier to read your post if you used some punctuation. Thanks!

Rush L. a freaking drug addict who constantly pontificates about people who use pot. One of the most hypocritical guys in the world.

Rush is a litmus test for idiot conservatives. If you agree with this POS you are a dimwit who believes it's ok to be a hypocrite.

I am sure Blarney has an autographed pix of him.

Liberals are humorless nimrods.

What does it make me if I agree with you?

I watched Rush once back in the late 90s to see what all the fuss was about. The guy is just a comedian telling jokes. At the time he was joking about the Clintons.

Liberals get their panties all in a bunch over this guy. Want to take away his freedom of speech when he's only joking.

What a bunch of fascists. Jeez,. dangerous.

A sense of humor is a sign of intelligence.

KC, you hit the nail on the head. It's funny to watch all these people who think things like freedom of speech are important as long as they agree with it whine and cry over Rush.

The guy is an entertainer he says that straight out. The only thing the left has to hang onto is that he was addicted to painkillers from back pain. Of course they have ridden that horse into the ground while they talk out the other side of their mouths about legalizing drugs. Hypocrisy rocks, it gives people like Rush more jokes to crack on these losers.

And I'm not trying to insult your intelligence for falling for the conservative "spin/hate" machine Lindsay. ;)

Blarneology, comparing Rush to a comedian is similar to comparing Hitler to being a compassionate loving person. I really don't see any humor or anything funny in what he says. Honestly, I see his attempts at being funny, but fails miserably in making it humorous.

Example: Look at his little video making fun of Michael J Fox and his parkinsons.

Limbaugh is now, and always has been as far as I can tell, an effing idiot. Not to mention a drug addict.

It's ok to tell how you feel about Rush. Because I certainly will tell you how I feel about notsosharpten and wackson jackson. They all have big mouths. Of course I believe the difference is Rush has SOME intelligence and admits he's an entertainer:)

btw: I'll go put Rush in jail if you agree to go put Sharpten in jail for the same offense?

Come on Demo's you can do better than this surely? :) lol

falling for the conservative spin/hate machine? WTF are you talking about? Do you think I am a conservative?

Your typical Nazi, such as Rush, never has the courage of their monstrous convictions. "I vas only kidding, really!!" And who, besides dittoheads and Hitler youth, would consider his incitement to riot "humor"? Drink your kool-aid and die already!
Free speech does not permit yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater. If we had an FCC this moron would be off the air. Alas, the current FCC is just another arm of The Party. GOP? NO! NNP!

How come liberals never argue a point, just throw insults? And how come a conservative who has a substance abuse problem is called by liberals a criminal, but a liberal who has the exact same problem is called first a victim, then a hero?

And how come caring liberals are always anxious for conservatives to die? Is it that liberals are just too stupid to form arguments, or are they just mean spirited? Or, maybe its both!

Its easier to just eliminate the competition than defeat them intellectually.

Maybe the liberals are so worked up about this because they actually truly were kinda persuaded to riot after hearing Rush's little joke. I mean, they do have a history of doing pretty much anything a celebrity says.

"You can't yell fire in a crowded theater."

This is true even if you say you were joking.

The fact is, Rush has people of below average intelligence who listen to him and will do what he tells them to do... or what he is dreaming will happen.

You may disagree that most if not all of his listeners are of below average intelligence, but who else would spend more than 5 minutes listening to a liar, draft dodger and hypocrite?

I understand that he is a neo-con and it matters little that he is a "low" person, only that he digs on the left. Typical Republican response. Child molester? Does he think liberals are Communist? That's okay then. Fag? We hate fags. What? He thinks we should bomb Iran tomorrow? He's okay. Worst President in history? Giving my money (Democrat and Republican) to Haliburton and BlackWater and every other war profiteer? At least he isn't a Democrat.

Are all Republican who aren't millionaires suckers? The answer is yes, but you can check for yourself. www.bls.gov

Look at job growth. Job growth is higher, always higher with a Democrat as President than with a Republican. Is there anything more important to your life right now than having a job so that you can support your family?

If a democrat gets in the White House, they need to work on jailing these nutty "pundits" trying to encourage riots, violence against gays and ethnics, and other un-American bullshit. The first to go should be Rush Limbaugh, Janet Folger, and Michelle "Kim Jong Il with a penis" Malkin.

"How come liberals never argue a point, just throw insults?"

Because they base their positions on emotion and feeling, not logic. It's easier to screech about someone's drug arrest and equate them with Hitler/Nazis than to make rational statements. It's best to laugh at their impotent rage and move on.

From Scott:

and Michelle "Kim Jong Il with a penis" Malkin.

*spits pepsi all over my keyboard*

LMAO!

"The fact is, Rush has people of below average intelligence who listen to him and will do what he tells them to do... or what he is dreaming will happen."

I didn't know that his main listeners were liberals. Thanks for clarifying that. (Okay, those first 2 sentences were jokes in case you didn't catch that) Anyway, what I mean is that I am pretty sure that he was joking about the liberals rioting over the Clinton/Obama battle. Not inticing republicans to crash their convention and start a riot.

He's an entertainer. He's intentionally pushing buttons. It's a joke. He's not "calling for" riots, people. He's making fun of Al Sharpton's scandalous comment that IS intended to incite a riot.

Blarney & Lindsay, ever notice how Libs resort to name-calling ("Fat," "Idiot," "Addict") when someone exposes something they don't want made known?

What a pathetic thread. Let me guess blarney is the guy who always throws out insults blah blah blah.

Truth is you little liberals are whining way too much. You guys can't take it no matter how much you like to dish it out. You guys are against freedom and like to do your best to take away anybody's freedom you don't agree with. You guys use terms like Nazi and show exactly how totally effin stupid you truly are.

R2 I said he was an entertainer nothing about comedian. You are too busy railing against someone and complaining about him expressing his rights that you are confusing posters.

Okay Lindsay,

Can you tell me why Liberals would riot at a Democratic Convention?

Wouldn't it make more sense for conservatives to stir up some trouble in Denver? Don't you think that that is what Rush may have been implying?

You're a Rush listen right?

Quad Kings you notice how all these folks calling names and stuff will be the first to say I am the one who does it all the time?

Again this is just complete proof that Liberals(what an oxymoron that term is for the left)don't believe in freedom they just want everyone to agree with them or to be forced into silent obediance.

Liberals will riot at a democratic convention for many reasons.

They are public educated nimrods who only know to follow someone like lemmings

They have expressed via their votes one thing yet the party will do another.

Someone is offering free government benefits to the first one hundred attendees

There is a conservative who needs to be beaten to death because the freedom loving liberals don't agree with him and the first 50 get a swipe at him


I could go on for hours.

Tom,

Mr. Sharpton already said there would be trouble (might mean riots, just speculating) if Obama wasn't chosen. Or is Sharpton a Conservative now?

Someone is holding open a book on rights and how to freely express them.

(oh yea, that will make lefty wingnuts run like hell or burn the book)

Someone is proposing everyone be responsible for themselves(we know lefty wingnuts will run from that one)

Yeah Quad, I have noticed. Its that kind of thing that I don't feel needs to be addressed or responded to because anyone with intelligence knows what that kind of behavior means.

Tom, no that doesn't make more sense. He wanted the liberals to start a big fight over their split party, therefore, making themselves look disorganized and stupid. He said that he wanted the liberals to look bad. If the repubs crashed their party and started a riot then it would make the repubs look bad. No, I don't listen to Rush. I'm young, I listen to the FM radio.

Thatguy, don't try to use their own words or common sense on liberals. It could cause a riot. LOLOLOL!

Rush is a racist pig. I've heard him on the radio many of times and an entertainer is far from what he claims to be. He is a well paid republican chrony. His statements about rioting in Denver is completely on message with suggesting his listeners to vote democrate to vote against Obama.

The largest audience in radio and here are his advertisers.

Do you notice the obvious lack of National Companies? Anyone with something to lose won't touch this guy with a ten foot pole. He makes millions, good for him, but the morons who buy his schtick makes me question man's intelligence.

Racist Pig?
Republican Chrony?

You guys are reaching way too far now. Talk about being laughed at you guys are comedy gold.

Easiest way to make demoweenies riot is to offer them a real education. They might actually have to think for themselves then. LOLOLOLOL!

Tom,

No, your 'logic' is flawed. Republicans are just enjoying the great theatre that is the Democratic Primary. These two power-hungry, say-anything, do-anything Left-wing Liberals are exposing so much weakness in each other that McCain (who's okay) will just sit back and coast to an easy (dare I say "landslide") victory. Shameless Sharpton is the one who instigated the whole thing with his race-laced threat of "trouble" if Hillary wrests the nomination from a black man.

One thing is sure, James Hart is a person that obviously reveres and respects a thrice divorced, Opiate addicted, draft dodging radio personality. LOL! What in the heck does that say about James!!!!!

I wish I could send each and every one of you Limbaugh lovers a T-Shirt with the saying "I'm With STUPID" and an arrow pointing to the neckhole.

Should there be trouble at the convention, Limbaugh should be ruthlessly and perpetually sued by every person that was present. That would be funny to me!

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Democratic_National_Convention_Protests

If Hillary Clinton wins the nomination via superdelegates, while Barack Obama has the delegate and popular vote lead, many Obama supporters might be upset.

"Rush is a racist pig. I've heard him on the radio many of [sic] times and an entertainer is far from what he claims to be [false/misstated]. He is a well paid republican [sic] chrony [sic]. His statements about rioting in Denver is [sic] completely on [sic] message with suggesting his listeners to vote democrate [sic] to vote against Obama."

rushhater, your "intelligence" shines through brightly in your post.

Who cares what Rush Limbaugh says he's an entertainer, I mean come on people you sound like O'Reiley going after rappers. If they wanted to help people they'd be doctors, lol.

Vinnie the only way those shirts would make sense was if we were standing next to you while wearing them.

He wouldn't be sued by anyone, learn a little about the legal system. it is funny watching you guys spaz out though. This is very entertaining.

Please again liberals tell us all how you guys like things like free speech etc. LOLOLOL!

Ha ha this is so funny all these conservative demagogues coming to the rescue of some blowhard, schlub like Limbaugh.

Republican, Democrat - you're both wrong...

...and Limbaugh is still and idiot :)

"and Limbaugh is still and idiot :)"

does anyone else find this sentence to just not only be funny as hell but par for the course?

I do, Blarn.

You may suggest that I'm a liberal, but I have far more conservative leanings then I do liberal. I just don't like Rush for the type of "entertainer" he is. It almost like calling Ann Coulter a compassionate writer.

He's a blowhard and I don't need to listen to him or other political pundits that are similar on the other side to gather my opinion on candidates. Rush is a moron, plain and simple. An offensive, drug addicted, hypocritical moron at that.

R. Limbaugh is an idiot!

Rush is free to say what he wants, but he is still a hypocrite and drug addict. He's a disgrace to Missouri, and to Steeler Nation. Mark Levin and Michael Savage are total whack jobs, too, but at least they are good for some laughs, Rush is just an arrogant pr*ck.

hahahahahahaha, like I said. Dead horse. It's so funny how people have been looking for something to hang on him for so long ya'll almost pee on yourselves when you get to call him a drug addict.

This is too funny, you know he's doing something right when the lefty wingnuts get this wound up over something. This is why the democrats are the party of racism and hate.

I can't wait for this election to be over...I really look forward to watching the country divide itself every leap year based on promises of candidates who very rarely back them up.

I can't wait to hear the lefty wingnuts make up excuses as to why they lose this upcoming election and how someone else cheated. Talk about broken records.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZLiberal/Conservative Blah, Blah, Blah

rush should be fired and state of laws which he wants start a roit and yes there is a law of it and look it up

Tom, You stated why would liberals riot at a democratic convention? Not sure exactly but they have done it in the past, 1968 is a great example!

"rush should be fired and state of laws which he wants start a roit and yes there is a law of it and look it up "


Is this English?

John, Yo hablo English?

It is libtard english.

Engrish, I believe...

Oh my, those last three responses have me chuckling like a madman here at my computer.

Is there a law for Murdering the English language?

illitereology?

Easiest way to make demoweenies riot is to offer them a real education. They might actually have to think for themselves then. LOLOLOLOL! - Blarney

And the democrats are the ones namecalling and launching personal insults?

Just an observation. Looks like there's plenty to go around on both sides. Really.

It's Miller time now.

Peace Out.

Donde este mi libtard?

blarney-

To quote my good friend John, "yes there is a law of it and look it up" :P

Both parties have their share of supporters who spout out stupid things at times. They say the things they do to stir things up and get some attention. It works every time.

I'm dreaming of Rush hog-tied and gagged. Oh, hey, I don't mean him any harm. Really. I'm just dreaming . . .

kcskip, get over yourself and read the thread. Somethign else the demoweenies hate is to get what they dish out. Hence your post.

Dan, LOLOLOL!

I'm just happy to entertain you instead of annoy you, blarney! It's a nice change for once...

Oh I"ve read the whole thread Blarney. It looks like a bunch of grade school kids lined up against each other on a playground. Your term 'demoweenies' is really showing your maturity level. Is that really the best you've got? Ouch!

Rush,craving gadfly status, calls himself both an entertainer and journalist, depending on convenience.

A one man think tank for those too lazy or rich and insouciant to actually bother with objectivity, he still remains to me the most hypocritical of talking heads.

Our peccant expert on illegal substances and drug (The man ranted like Johnathan Edwards about 'Hippie Lettuce and jail time for 20 years.) addicted "Through no fault of my own", he must laugh up his sleeve with guys like Elliot Spitzer, Jimmy Swaggert and Larry Craig.

Give him credit, he is a one trick pony that has major wheels. The Ad Revenue just keeps rolling in. Republicans are not want to stint their darlings.

Taking him seriously on a daily basis requires "half your brain (No matter how diminutive) be tied behind your back.

Clarion calls from Rush. Inspirational.

KcSkip, I have much better but I like to keep it at the level of whom i'm dealing with.

The demos are in an uproar because they know their party is in an uproar. This is going to be the greatest show on earth!

They can't bite at the hand that feeds them, so when a blow hard like Rush, says something that they can rally against, then all sorts of emotions come spewing out.

The bottom line is (according to notso-sharpton) if Obang-me doesn't win, there will be riots in Denver. Now it could be started by Repubs or maybe Demos, according to you all. Like I said, it's going to be the greatest show on earth!!!!!

Blarney, I owe you a big thank you on that last response. I have not laughed like that in a good long time. But it seriously is Miller time now, so this time for real, I am out of here. To lefties and righties alike, have a good weekend.

Rush is pure sleaze and all who listen to him are moronic rednecks who need to justify their hate and fear.

Skip, glad I could make you laugh.


lieraldude? So since i'm an idiot can you tell me if your name is a typo, or just really bad engrish?

Rush put himself out on a limb. If there were a riot in Denver, I dare say, most people would give him the credit for the initial idea. ( To which point he could be arrested, as inciting riots is not protected speech under the first amendment. )

Poor Rushy keeps building himself a deeper hole with all of this stuff.

Wolf, I think your theory is a bit of a stretch. Plausible I guess except then all these liberal wingnuts would have to admit that they listen to Rush and obviously do as he says.

I bet it would be worth the money to him just to have them have to admit it. LOL

Some people call Rush listeners & Conservatives in general stupid.

But whose voters in Florida in 2000 were so stupid, they couldn't figure out how to properly punch a hole in piece of paper?

Comparing Limbaugh to Hitler.

hmm,. can't say as I would go that far.

Nor would anyone with more than one functioning brain cell left.

Limbaugh's latest controversy epitomizes he and his faithful's lack of judgment. He dreams of riots at the Democratic convention. Has he or any of you dittoheads stopped and considered that if his fantasy comes to fruition, that there will be victims, and they will not all be left wing wackos.

LOLOLOL! whom else would the victims be? Besides he was making fun of something said by one of those left wing wackos.

Fire him, for what? Its talk radio hes doing what hes supposed to do. Talk, Oh Yea then there is that 1st amendment thing. But I guess that only applies to the Democratic point of view and their causes. Otherwise its shut up and do what big brother tells you to do. I,m so sick of political bs. On both sides. Im not a big fan of his but he must be doing something right to cause this much of a stir. Good for ratings. Let the man have his say. Let them all have their say, we might just come across someone that make some sense and has real solutions to real problems in this country. Not just saying what ever the money wants them to say to get elected and then politics as usual.

Bill Ayers shares the dream.

So there, all you smarty pants liberals!

Once again, hypocrisy reigns supreme.

Kenny, The guy you described would not have a chance in hell of winning any election, let alone a Presidential. To bad too. Some people think Obang-me fits that description, because of what he is spouting out of his mouth. They won't look any deeper for the truth.

I would never dream of comparing Rush with Adolf Hitler. Really, he puts me more in mind of Herman Goering, Hitler's fat drug addicted Field Marshall. Although...wasn't Goering some sort of war hero? So no, that doesn't work either.
Rush Limbaugh: American Freedom Fighter!
Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,!!
Now THAT's comedy.

Rush is a racist, mysoginist, homophopic, drug addicted, viagra popping (can't get it up), idiot. He certainly has the right to say anything he wants and believe anything he wants. Just as those that dislike him have the right to dislike him and say anything they want about him. The man took so much hillbilly herion he made himself go deaf. Or maybe his ears just rebelled against all the hate and lies that came from his mouth and just shut down. Hopefully he is still taking that dope, that would explain his views.

Rush Limbaugh is a sick man who is totally clueless when it comes to the heartbeat of america. That's why he & the republicans fear losing the election come November, which is a given

The comment was not a responsible one and just creates more division in this country...we don't need anymore of that!

Limbaugh's bloody plan,

Use mainstream Republican thinking like bloodshed wouldn't be that bad for america... Just yell fire in a crowded theatre Rush... People this guy is a NUTS

You Rush bashers are uptight, short sighted, narrow minded hypocrites.

Can't take a joke, no sense of humor and your rear ends are screwed on too tightly.

A drugged-out a radio talk show host is getting people so worked up that some may commit, support, and laugh at violent acts on US soil where innocent people could be hurt or killed. He says he just "dreams" of violence? How patriotic. Basically, there is no difference between this and Obama's pastor G-damning America. It's outrageous. Still, he has a right to say it. Hopefully it will cause more people to stop listening to him. His audience IS significantly smaller than it was a few years ago.

What's the difference between Limbaugh and the Hindenberg? Ones a Nazi gas bag and the other is a dirigible.

"You may disagree that most if not all of his listeners are of below average intelligence, but who else would spend more than 5 minutes listening to a liar, draft dodger and hypocrite?"

Yes, as a matter of fact that DOES describe the democrats and their unusual love of Bill Clinton's every pronouncement.....

Limbaugh is a shock jock. Why one earth would anyone take him seriously. Most of all, you do you think African-Americans are listening to Limbaugh and saying "Rush is right, lets incite a riot in Denver during the convention".

Limbaugh does bring up legitimate concerns because black rioting is a historical and current fact of life in the United States. Thank god that someone has the courage to bring up what everyone else is only thinking about. Americans are tired of having to sacrifice out First Amendment rights to political correctness.

The telling part of a lot of these comments are the Rush-supporters claiming that liberals are unintelligent. Fact is, liberals as a group are more intelligent than conservatives. Their incomes are higher. Look at the majority of states that receive more federal tax dollars than they contribute: red states. Look at the most intelligent states in the nation: blue states.

So, all you Rush Defenders can lie like your buddy Rush does, but facts are facts, and the Republicans are the less intelligent, less wealthy, more subsidized, and weaker in a comparison of left v. right.

Sorry, right wingers, you are Epic Fail. Also, you are the epitome of Epic Hypocrisy and Epic Stupidity. Ciao!

I consider myself a liberal...and i must admit liberals are the most unintelligent beings walking the face of the earth....I am just thinking to myself....conservatives played them in 2000 gave america 8 tormentous years and these moronic liberals play right into the hands of the ill thinking conservatives again....Rush told you to vote for hillary...you did in mass #s...he entertained bill on his show and now he's telling you what his and fellow conservative actions (fox news playing wright's clips over and over again) will lead the moronic liberals to in denver...and the liberals still just don't get it!!!! you know what maybe we do deserve 8 years of hillary...whatever it brings the one thing i guarantee is that we will be a tad bit wiser when she's all done.

Justthefacts should be named justadouche

I also have a dream: the fat, disgusting rotting grotesque corpulent corpse of Mr. Limbaugh laying on the 18th green of The South East Missouri Patrician Memorial country club being devoured by chiggers, crows, coyotes and whatever variety of endangered species which are still available locally- his minuscule masculine member sucked off by a humming bird- the only creature of sufficient size to find it worth swallowing- mistaking it for some flaccid purplish tiny wild flower petal. . And oh yes a big fat Cuban cigar inserted in the terminal aperture of his well-exercised gastrointestinal tract.. having been inserted in his last pathetic and confused moments as the crushing boa like angina squessed out his miserable life: he thinking the cigar was one of his special blend opiated nirtoglycerine suppossiotories.

You inciters have thrown around all these names for Rush: "Liar," "Draft-dodger," "Drugged-up," "Racist, Mysoginist, and "Homophob[e]."

Now, I challenge you all to cite any verifiable evidence that Rush:

1. Lied;
2. Avoided the draft without cause (and why do you herald "consciencious objectors" out of the other side of your mouths?);
3. Has taken drugs since overcoming his addiction to pain-killers;
4. Has shown hate toward women;
5. Has shown fear of gays.

Uh-huh ... thought so.

Rush may have committed a felony for calling for riots, and should be prosecuted for inciting riot. Any person who incites, urges, instructs, or signals a group of five or more persons to engage in a riot and injury to a person or damage to property results therefrom commits a class 5 felony.

YOU LIBERAL MORONS ARE JUST JEALOUS THAT YOU HAVE NOT AND NEVER WILL MAKE THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT RUSH LIMBAUGH HAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE!!!!!! IF YOU DO NOT GIVE THE NOMINATION TO THE CHOSEN ONE AND HEAD FRAUD OBAMA THERE WILL BE RIOTS IN DENVER!!!!! RUSH SPEAKS THE TRUTH!!!!! THE TRUTH IS HARD TO DEAL WITH WHEN YOUR PARTY HAS TWO OF THE WEAKEST CANDIDATES EVER!!!!! AS AN AMERICAN WHO PAYS MORE TAXES THAN MOST OF YOU MORONS WILL EVER MAKE IN YOUR PATHETIC LIFETIMES RUSH HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY WHATEVER HE WANTS!!!! DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!

Rush Limbaugh???? Is he still alive??? If so, who is still stupid enough to listen to that fat, drug addicted, white trash loser??

P.S. Does that faggot still have that cyst on his ass that kept him from serving during Vietnam?? What a punk!!

Telling people to riot is wrong. And it wasn't a joke, I heard what he said. Even if you are stupid enough to think it was a joke, there are some things you shouldn't joke about. Some of us remember what happened in 1968 and it wasn't a pretty picture. I believe in free speech, but I also think with great power comes great responsibility, and telling people to riot is not being responsible at all. I am going to make it my life's mission to get this fat, ignorant, drug addict off of the air. Send your complaints to fccinfo@fcc.gov.

You Dems, what idiots. Turn off you TV for just one week and listen to Rush. You will feel so much better. He is honest, and fair. But most of all he is funny. You Dems hate him, Ha-Ha-Ha. I can't get enough of you idiots. All of your favorite TV stations Like CNN (Clinton News Network) lie to you over and over and you idiots believe it. This shit is funny to see you idiots foaming at the mouth. HA-HA-HA. I can't stop laughing. OK I'll stop laughing at the idiots and be serious. If you want all of the illegals, to be legal, and all of them bring ten family members from Mexico so us tax payers will have to foot the bill then vote for the Democrats. Oh and your taxes will go up, more welfare for the illegals. Listen you Dems we will still NOT get out of Iraq so quit thinking we wll because it will not happen. The cost of food, housing, medical, etc to the illegals cost more than the Iraq war per year. Now stick that up your $%@$#. Hillery (Hitler) or Obama (Hussain) are not going to be the next president so quit foaming you far left losers. Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha

Blarney. "This is why the democrats are the party of racism and hate." I used to like you. Are you defending the posterior bodily orifice of the radio universe? Tsk. Tsk. I thought you were smarter than that. 2 of my xbf's are Republicans. Maybe that's why they are my X bf's. Still, I gave them a chance to be reasonable people. I will give you the same chance. Show me something. Peace.

You Dems, what idiots. Turn off your TV for just one week and listen to Rush. You will feel so much better. He is honest, and fair. But most of all he is funny. You Dems hate him, Ha-Ha-Ha. I can't get enough of you idiots. All of your favorite TV stations Like CNN (Clinton News Network) lie to you over and over and you idiots believe it. This shit is funny to see you idiots foaming at the mouth. HA-HA-HA. I can't stop laughing. OK I'll stop laughing at the idiots and be serious. If you want all of the illegals, to be legal, and all of them bring ten family members from Mexico so us tax payers will have to foot the bill then vote for the Democrats. Oh and your taxes will go up, more welfare for the illegals. Listen you Dems we will still NOT get out of Iraq so quit thinking we wll because it will not happen. The cost of food, housing, medical, etc to the illegals cost more than the Iraq war per year. Now stick that up your $%@$#. Hillery (Hitler) or Obama (Hussain) are not going to be the next president so quit foaming you far left losers. Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha

Hi E.P. Nice to meet you. I don't have TV. I refuse to pay for commercials. You know, all that Republican corporate greed stuff. I have listened to Rush. He is an idiot. He has no clue what it's like to be in the real world. Come downtown with me and help me serve the homeless people at the food kitchen and give supplies to the homeless American veterans at Stand Down KC and I'll open your eyes.

I don't have any illusions about getting out of Iraq because America is too provincial, too colonialistic to do that without a terrible loss of face. The politicos, of any party, aren't going to let that happen. We can't let the Muslims run rampant over the civil rights of women no matter what, no matter where.

I'd be happy to sponsor a family from anywhere in the world that truly wanted to become Americans. If we all did that we would have a lovely rainbow nation like that envisioned by those who brought us the Statue of Liberty.

How about you? Who will you sponsor? Whom will you help? How will you change the world? How will you change America other than spewing venom and empty rhetoric?

To make comments in the manner that he did, is an Intent To Incite A Riot.
Homeland Security should be involved right now.
If his statements encourage his listeners which from several readings around the web his statements have, then he has already committed a major crime.

Not only Homeland Security but also the FCC should hold responsible the broadcasting corporation which allowed this Incitement to Riot in Denver go out over Our Public Airwaves.

If the Police will not arrest him immediately; then a group of citizens living near the proximity of where he works should
assemble and make a Citizen's Arrest.

I don't want my tax dollars having to pay for cleaning up a city that has been damaged due to a riot. Who knows how large it could grow.

We the People demand action and protection from Homeland Security which our tax dollars fund to protect us against people like this.

Norman G A Concerned Citizen

.... much ado about nothing.

Rush Limbaugh is developing a poisonous atmosphere for all who listen to him. He is the great Satan.

Even though I look to be hopeful for riots, I will back out of the race in time, so Obama can lose to McCain and I will run in 2012.

That's my plan, always has been the plan, and I worked it out with Rush.

American people who don't see this are the idiots. Especially Democrats.

Respectfully,
Hitlary Clinton.

.... could be he IS Satan! Oh, Lordy, Lordy, we all goan to hell and spend eternity listening to 24/7 lectures by Rush.

Rush is the most arrogant, one sided, know it all on the radio. And we all know that anyone who acts like they know it all actually know very little and are full of $hit. Republicans cannot be proud of this joker. He is afflicted with "extreme conservative disorder", which is a mental disease.

Larry: Right On!

Further, I don't think there's anyone who can match Limbaugh's arrogancy, one-sidedness, and know-it-all attitude .... oops, forgot Al Franken, the official spokesman for the League of Lobotomized Liberals and just as nasty as Rush.

Rosie, I'm not worried if I like you or not. I really don't care who or what you used to date.

The Dem party is the party of racism. Historically and currently. If you don't like it then make better decisions politically of whom you support. If you like a party that will pay the masses to be ignorant via government handouts as long as you toe the line then continue as you are.

If one were to remove all ad homonym attacks by Democrat apologists and a few of the Ditto Heads, this would be a very short thread.

Here are the facts: It is Democrat activist Reverend Al Sharpton that has raised the possibility of riots in Denver. Rush merely pointed it out, with his usual dash of irony and ridicule. One can be sure that the Denver police will not be worried about Rush or any Republicans at the Dem’s convention, but on the Reverend Sharptons.

The Dem’s are in a pickle; they have nominated arguably two left-wing socialists that may not be strong enough in a general election. Rush as, to make a game of it, exercising his free speech rights, encouraged Republicans to (perfectly legal) vote for the trailing Mrs. Bill Clinton to 1) cause the Dem’s to expend campaign cash, and 2) provide Mrs. Bill Clinton the opportunity to expose her opponent’s weaknesses and unfitness without having Sen. McCain do so – principally because any criticism, however true and damaging to Sen. Obama is labeled a racist attack.

Consider the perfectly valid Anti-Obama ad currently running in South Carolina, by the state Republican Committee. Factually, it correctly and fairly associates Sen. Obama with an America hating, Marxist-oriented – by his own words, Rev. Wright (who is now retired to a $1.2M house in an all-white gated community in south Chicago).

Lost in all of noise are the actual policy positions and discussions the wiser of us will base our votes on. Energy prices are rising because of the world-wide exploding demand for oil, primarily in India and China. Compound this with what now appears to be a mistaken program of taking food crops, especially corn, off the market to make bio-fuels (which consume more energy to produce than oil). With energy and oil derivative product prices rising, as they should in a free market, we in America are caught with our pants down, with food prices rising because of bio-fuel promotion. We have a declining dollar because we have financed staggeringly large entitlement programs with dollar debt, thereby devaluing our dollar and purchasing power. We are strategically weaker because China and Arab Oil dictators hold trillions of dollar debt that, if unloaded, would destroy America without a shot being fired.

The only remedy either of the two avowed Democrat socialist candidates offer are higher taxes – making it harder for business to compete, families to save, and capital to form.

To all the Rush-haters, I encourage you to look at your checkbook or paycheck and imaging 10% -- 20% of that going away in taxes, for no doubt that is what will happen if there is a socialist majority in the Congress in ’08. And next time you attack Rush, please raise the level of debate to the specific facts or positions Rush is arguing, and give him the courtesy you demand of yourself.

So let me guess there are a bunch of people here who think Limbaugh is an idiot etc. and anyone who listens to him is an idiot.

LOL! Well the only way you guys would knos this is one of two ways. Someone told you this and you are lemmings and follow properly, or you guys are the idiots listening to him.

Either way you Rushbashers have shown yourselves to absolute and total idiots and hypocrites. I love it when morons aren't even smart enough to get out of their own way.

Rosey & blarneology: Good posts, but you're wasting your breath. One of the four basic rules of life is to never argue with ignorance---you ain't gonna win. The other three rules? Glad you asked: Never forget Mother's Day; Never argue with a cop; Never send cash through the mail.

When Rush lived in KC & worked for the Royals, a friend made the mistake of going out with him. His wife had kicked him to the curb because she said he was a loser who had no potential. She was wrong about one thing - his name is known, but he IS a loser.

JTW, I know but just couldn't resist!

Oh! And did I mention we're coming out of one of the deepest, longest, coldest winters on record, such that Natural Gas in storage has fallen below prudent levels, and the spot market (Henry Hub) price of natural gas is over $10/MCF, and natural gas futures are trading above the $11/MCF range? So much for global warming! Oh, and that pesky Antartica ice shelf is growing the fastest ever. Dang. So look for household air conditioning prices to rise due to the cost of natural gas fired electric generating plants. It's cheaper with clean-coal, but Gov Sibilus vetoed that-- God forbid Kansas pay less for electricity!

Get over it- Just like all of the Catholics had to get over Bill Maher's comments.

Sally, Rush is known worldwide. Millions upon millions of peope listen to him. He makes tons of money doing his job. He is respected by millions.

I think I'm the only one who has read your post.

It would appear you are much more of a loser than he is. Remember it's not important how smart someone is, how much of a loser they are or anything else. It only matters if they are smarter than you, more of a loser than you etc. Well you seem to be sitting a bit lower on the societal food chain. Have fun loser.

Rush would make a good politicial humorist if he wasn't such a doughbag.

JTW, I know that you are right. I just enjoy needling these folks because if you watch they jumped and started flaming Rush, anyone who listens to him and conservatives etc. Most of these folks are probably nothing more than the by-product of a good party and too much alcohol ended by a romp in the back seat of a car. Many of these folks also like to whine saying that I call names and flame people ad nauseum.

They like to forget they do crap like this which puts them into the position to be treated like they are, and they tend to whine about it. I enjoy pointing out what hypocrites they are.

It's also funny how many of these folks have no problem hoping to, wanting to and sometimes stepping on the rights of others simply because they don't agree. More hypocrisy.

Remember one of the slogans of the demoweenies party. They believe in the first amendment as long as they agree with what is being said.

These people are no more than a joke of the day.

Rush would make a good politicial humorist if he wasn't such a doughbag.

Rush would make a good politicial humorist if he wasn't such a doughbag.

Rosey, Blarney, JTW, Lindsay:

I believe I could hang 'wit chew fo a while.' Y'all get it.

I'm sure some other posters do too, but I haven't read the whole thread. I get a little tired of reading posts that refuse to acknowledge: (a) Al Sharpton first threatened "trouble" at the convention if the man of his race is not nominated; (b) this is an especially inflammatory statement considering our history of race riots in this country; (c) Rush, provocative though he may be, has never called for a riot; (d) Rush, though espousing controversial views to some, is no "idiot"; and (e) Rush is no longer addicted to pain-killers.

One key to unlocking a basic understanding of Rush is his method of exposing the absurd by being absurd. To the occasional listener, all one hears is the absurdity, and assumes that is Rush's position or belief -- which it rarely is. Rather, the absurdity is meant to illustrate the silliness of its object.

For example. To any rational human being, riots by Democrats against Democrats at the Denver party convention is --- well, absurd. But it will happen if the Democrat Reverend Al Sharpton has his way, based on Rev. Sharpton's public statements.

So Rush, recognizing the absolute absurdity of it, sad as it may play out, illustrates it by being absurd, singing "I'm Dreaming of a Riot Christmas!" It's just -- hysterical. And since brevity is the soul of wit, Rush captures the Demodrat's behavior toward each other in a crisp, pithy, satirical jab.

Those who don't "get Rush", unlike the millions and millions who do, and adore him for it, mistake the absurdity-oriented humor for position and policy.

This is one reason why Rush has to be listened to continuously for four or five weeks. Sorrouning all this illustrating absurdity with absurdity are an army of fact checkers that objectivly rate him as 98%+ accurate as to the facts, year in and year out; which is why he's trusted. It is the accuracy of his facts, and his conviction to conservativism (The Bill Buckley variety) that retains his audience.

(Lest anyone doubt his objectivity, listen to last Friday's web-cast and hear him blast the doors off Sen. McCain.)

Quad Kings, I'll let ya know when I am at knuckleheads sometime and if ya come on down I will buy you a beer or 3.

When I heard idiot comedian, Kieth Olberman, accuse Rush of inciting riot I figured he was taking things out of context or putting his spin on Rush's comments...I was right. Just watch...any time anyone disagrees with Obama it'll we branded "racism".

Quad Kings: Come on down here (south Texas) and we'll hang awhile at a nifty cantina in Nuevo Laredo. We'll knock back a few tequilas, chit chat with some very pretty senoritas, enjoy some mariachi music, and, if we're lucky, see a good bar fight. The place is pretty rough ... if you don't have a weapon when you go in, they'll rent you one. See ya' soon ...

I don't care for Rush, but I do respect him. I don't have to agree with someone 100% of the time to respect their drive and ability to be successful. Similarly, I respect Blarney. I don't agree with him 100% of the time, but gosh dang he cracks me up sometimes.

I do hope there is not a riot in Denver. If Obama does not secure the nomination, opposition who result to violence would further divide this country. Al Sharpton WANTs that to happen. His schtick would be over if our country was actually united.

and...OMG...scroll up and read Don Scott's post. Holy crap that is one vivid dream.
hahaha...( I am laughing in my scared 'I hope he never has a dream about me' laugh)...

Certainly not a fan of Limbaughs, however if Sharpton had said this Fox News would be the only one who would disagree with him. Everyone else would be falling all over themselves to protect Sharpton's freedom of speech.

GubmentCheese: You're so right re: the protection of Sharpton's freedom of speech, as well as to avoid being called "racist," which blacks are ever alert to take advantage of, no matter if the issue at hand has anything to do with race. This is the main reason the media's playing nicey-nice with Obama and being very careful to not delve into his past lest they discover something truly harmful to his image. If they do, they can't report it. If they do report it, blacks will start screaming "racist," and Al and Jesse, the NAACP, et al, will be on their soapboxes lamenting how whitey is picking on Obama only because he's black. It's really disgusting.

Wow, you would have thought someone had mentioned Phill Kline in the article. Between mentioning him or Limbaugh the posting gets out of control.
I listened to Rush all week. I even went back and listened to yesterday's show to brush up on what he said. Guess what, he never said anything to his listeners, either explicitly or implied to go out and riot at the Dems convention.
He did discuss groups such as Recreate '68, whom have been trying to work with the police on arrest tactics at the convention. Here is there website: www.recreate68.org. They want to riot at the party convention of the party they agree with. That will show the people that agree with them.
Al Sharpton said that this year's convention will be like 1968. Is he calling for rioting in Denver?
If you need another example of groups who want to upset the convention process here you go: crashtheconventions.com.
The only thing I want to say about this group is, they want to upset both conventions.
Limbaugh just puts the information out there in an entertaining way. No matter what liberals, socialists, or communists say, conservatives are not fascists or anarchists in anyway. They are never out there calling for riots.

I screwed up. crashtheconventions.com is a site that gives news about group such as recreate '68. My bad.

Rush Limbaugh is a fucking coward who faked a boil on his ass to get out of going to Vietnam. That’s a fact. But you fucking flying monkeys can’t face the truth. This pig snot is a drug user. He frequents under aged children for sex. You follow the sick fucking bastard, then you are one in the same. Fuck off you pig fucking diddo fuck heads.

Truthseeker: Right on, dude. You need to pursue some sort of legal action against him for his sex with underage children. This is a no-no in accordance with many laws. I assume you can prove it, so why not give the local DA a call Monday and discuss it with him? If it turns out Rush does indeed "frequent under aged children for sex," and if he's convicted of it, he'll do jail time and will lose his radio show. So, all that said, go for it.

By the way, I admire your command of the English language.

Truthseeker, were your parents brother and sister by chance?

noneposted, I'm glad to find out so many of you have a sense of humor. So many don't, this is refreshing.

Rush Rules.. don't like it ? sniff Hillarys lesbo azzzzzzzzzzzz

I REALLY love it when you Liberals let your raging hormones take control. What hissy fits you are throwing. Do you think conservatives aren't having a ball reading all this? Impotent because you can't do a thing about Rush. Wow, calling him a child molester. What an imagination! Does smoking that stuff really do that to you?

Hey, what's wrong with Rush? I like him! Since when did being conservative be a crime? I'd also like to sniff Hillary's lezbo azzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, though.

Hey, what's wrong with Rush? I like him! Since when did being conservative be a crime? I'd also like to sniff Hillary's lezbo azzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, though.

What will some not defend? I find it hilarious. If any liberal broadcaster said something even HALF as inflammatory conservatives would have been dropping a deuce in their pants. I will give Rush this one, I have a feeling none will give a liberal theirs, regardless of their speeches saying as much. This is pathetic. Defending it, even more so. As if singing anything, regardless of how harmful to a "White Christmas" some how degrades the message... morons. It is ok, as long as you say what you have to say in carol form.

"Rush Rules.. don't like it ? sniff Hillarys lesbo azzzzzzzzzzzz" Ahh, the utmost of cultured society

There is nothing like reading a bunch of simpletons spend time blathering on the KC Star website to show how they dislike the other side. Why don't you take your time and effor, do something producitve instead of feeding the KC Star's attempt at generating their own news.

Sharpton threatens Denver with riots if their guy loses a nomination.

Sharpton threatens NY with riots and calls on blacks to "shut the city down" over a trial verdict he doesn't like.

These comments ARE inciting riots, but nobody seems upset about it. Oh, they are upset, but they're not allowed to say so because THAT would be inciting a riot.

Limbaugh has to be quiet because he's interfering with the libs riot inciting I guess.

You simply HAVE to be a hypocrite to be a liberal. There's no way to be a consistent liberal.

Of course, being a total moron makes it easier.

Lindsay you and Blarney should have a "dumb off". It would really be hard to predict the winner.

By the way Blarney you are the most foul guy on the board ("I am better thn most people" I should come over and do your wife"...things you have posted in the past), but anythime someone jumps on you it's "what's with the name calling?" You are a hypocritical POS. What a turd.

Andrew,
What ARE you talking about?
White Christmas? What do you mean? It may be obvious to you but its gibberish to me.
But then, I'm just an average Joe, not one of you pompous elite liberals.
If you are trying to say something, spit it out. Being obtuse isn't working for you this time.
Or maybe, one of you other more literate liberals can explain him.

Poster who is either to much of a coward or too stupid to post their name. You must be one of my stalkers who likes to whine because you most likely are one of the folks who likes to stir up the mess then whines when you can't handle it. Grow a set or go away, as you can see by the demoweenie posts on here there are enough candyasses your not needed.

Limbaugh's not an idiot, he just plays one on the radio to make his listeners feel at home.

Hey
Rush you are the best. Why are they afraid of the truth.
Liberals say any thing. But you just repeat what has been said by them and they say IT IS NOT FAIR!!!!!
What a joke

Rush is right on, you people were either not around when the democrates rioted in 1968 or you forgot. I was 17 couldn't vote but when the liberal left rioted then I turned into a republican and have voted ever since. He is just warning everyone that the liberal blacks, Such as Good old Al, will riot if Obama will lose the nomination to Hillary. You people need to remember those who are smart learn from their own mistakes but a wise person learns from other people mistakes. Just remember 1968. And if the riots happen, good old Al will lead the way.

"The Liberal Blacks"??

Wow, why wasn't I invited to the Neo-conservative sleepover???
