The Rush Limbaughs of this country are whipping up the Timothy McVeighs of this country
Advertisements [?]
Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity, O'Reilly, Coulter and all their fellow haters are dangerous people.
Words have consequences. Does anyone really think that Timothy McVeigh was the only unstable wingnut listening to the destructive siren song of the radio hate mongers?
Foreign terrorists brought down the WTC. But let's never forget that domestic terrorists brought down the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.
Our Constitution talks about "... enemies foreign and domestic." Can anyone seriously doubt that Limbaugh and his ilk are egging on our domestic enemies into committing acts of terrorism?
Funny how when they talk of hatred all they can do is spew hatred the likes none of us know.

3. At what point do they cross the line
regarding freedom of speech? The hate they spew is dangerous and incites the worst in their listeners. What is the attraction to these scum bag media whores? Why do people listen? The people I know around me that listen to them are the same ones who still embrace W, no questions asked. It's become a cult for sure. There's nothing wrong with debate but there is none on these shows. I'm thinking it's the same hypocrites who listen to these folks that are "visiting" the online porn sites. They are warped and there numbers seem to be growing.

5. I have been saying this for a long time
These people are dangerous and need to be dealt with as such. They are a threat to the Republic. As you say, the domestic enemy within.
"Foreign terrorists brought down the WTC."
That's potentially debatable.

6. You are quite right. I watched quite a lot of their hate-fest and there was one
unifying theme - fight. Now that would be fine if they were to fight in the political sense, but that is not what they imply.
Having said that, I for one welcome the physical confrontation. This country's fascist virus has been allowed to fester long enough and if we are to create a better society it will only occur after thoroughly disinfecting the country; yes, I mean kill them after they try to kill us.

25. Wingnut Paul Harvey just died and he spent almost a century saying
pretty much what he wanted.
He wasn't as blatant as Limbaugh, but he sounded like such a "nice, homespun, common sense" guy, that millions of Americans bought the snake oil he was selling.
He wasn't feared, but he sure as hell helped to lay the groundwork for the Limbaughs of our media.
Rush may well be "sinking his own boat," but there are many more like him waiting to take his place.
It's not the man we have to fear. It's the ideology he sells on the air three hours every single day. An idea (no matter how insane) can change the world for better or for worse. And we already know that the ideas Limbaugh is peddling will change the world from "worse" into pure hell.

16. Are these haters calling for Obama's assassination?
Edited on Sun Mar-01-09 08:40 AM by Cyrano
Although none of them have used those words, It's between the lines of virtually every piece of hatred that pours from their mouths.
It's against the law to threaten the life of the President of the United States. Do so, and the Secret Service will be visiting you the same day.
Yet, the hate mongers subtlely suggest this on a virtually daily basis.
Freedom of speech is really a two-edged sword, isn't it? As long as Limbaugh, et al, don't explicitly express what they are implying, they are relatively safe from prosecution for inciting riots, revolution, or assassination.
They are walking a verbal tightrope and it's time for the Department of Justice to start monitoring them very closely as a "potential" threat.
Bush locked up anyone and everyone just because he wanted to and there was no one to stop him.
Limbaugh and his ilk should be thankful that Obama has more respect for the Constitution than Bush/Cheney.
Perhaps you should look at your own little screed first as it resulted in this...

26. Limbaugh better watch what he wishes for
If a civil war breaks out, he'll be at the top of the list as a target for assassination.

If Timothy McVeigh wasn't a Muslim convert, then it was you moonbat DUmmies that made him what he was.

The axe-hiding primitive doesn't realize that we conservatives have no intention of letting it close to within, say, 200 yards or so. Well within .308 range. (Or .30-30, if you're using the LeverEvolution rounds.)

:whatever: More uneducated ignorant stereotyping from teh DUmmies.
The "Rush Limbaughs" of this country DETEST the McVeigh types.

Ya know, I'm the one preaching OPSEC . . . and I screw up. :o :o :o

ok, for the sake of argument, McVeigh was a fan of Rush, et al.
so among the 22Million or so listeners to Rush, 1 guy becomes violent. that's a percentage of 0.0000045% of his audience that hates so powerfully that he would kill or die for it.
Nathan Bedford Forrest was a Democrat and Confederate General who founded the KKK, an organization that grew to millions of members at it's high point. They are responsible for thousands of deaths.
among the followers of Muhammed (approximately 1.5 Billion), studies show 10% are willing to join jihad and a large portion of the rest support them.
Who preaches hate again?
-
If I remember right It was the actions of Janet Reno and her DOJ that pissed off little timmy and not the words of Rush or any conservative egging him on.

I'd like to see the DUmmies provide one, just one, link to all this "hate" that Rush, Hannity, etc (I'll leave out Savage, he IS a bit over-the-top) "spew".

If you asked them that...the question they'd ask you back is "Have you ever listened to his show"?
The DUmmies view every single segment of every single hour of Rush's show as "hate speech".

"Hate" to them is a description of everything that disagrees with them.
The word no longer as any meaning except as a weapon in their minds to shout the opposition down,same as "racist" is.

If we had a dollar for everytime the DUmmies yammered about starting a revolution/killing rethuglicans/overthrowing the rich Obama wouldn't need to raise taxes.
-
Weren't a few of their minions visited by the Secret Service for threats against Bush? Let's compare notes after Obama's (4 year) term is over and see how many of us vs. them who are visited by that same SS.

They spend 8 years openly stating they wanted Bush to fail (and worse), claiming that their freedom of speech was being lost for critizing the president while coming on-line day after day and saying the same things, and telling us dissent is patriotic. Now, Rush and others come along and say they hope Hussein fails because his policies are detremental to the country as a whole, and they want his freedom to be taken from him by labeling him an enemy? These nutsos continue to show why they're too crazy to be taken seriously.
But these idiots are in the cult worship realm of "If BHO fails, then the country fails. He is our only hope." And, because of that, they're going to say all sorts of really stupid things.
