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

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

[You're a Mean Drunk R2D2™]

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?

[Lindsay]

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.

[Lindsay]

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.

[kcskip]

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.

[blarneology]

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?

[Lindsay]

Blarney!

[You're a Mean Drunk R2D2™]

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.

[blarneology]

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!

[Lindsay]

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!

[BtK]

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.

[Rush is GOD!]

What does it make me if I agree with you?

[KC Brougham]

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.

[blarneology]

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.

[You're a Mean Drunk R2D2™]

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

[You're a Mean Drunk R2D2™]

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.

[CAC]

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

[in2ropin]

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

[Lindsay]

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

[Nazi Fister]

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!

[Hushpook]

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?

[Hushpook]

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.

[Lindsay]

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.

[Tom]

"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?

[Scott]

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.

[BuchananBartender]

"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.

[You're a Mean Drunk R2D2™]

From Scott:

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

*spits pepsi all over my keyboard*

LMAO!

[Lindsay]

"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.

[Quad Kings (Returns)]

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?

[blarneology]

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.

[Tom]

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?

[blarneology]

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.

[blarneology]

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.

[ThatGuy]

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?

[blarneology]

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)

[Lindsay]

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.

[blarneology]

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

[rushhater]

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.

[Michael]

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!

[Quad Kings (Returns)]

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.

[Vinnie From Indy]

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!

[BuchananBartender]

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.

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

[come on!]

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.

[blarneology]

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 :)

[blarneology]

"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?

[Quad Kings (Returns)]

I do, Blarn.

[You're a Mean Drunk R2D2™]

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.
