Where is Rush Limbaugh? [View all] Major Hogwash Jul 2012 OP

Is that true? zzaapp Jul 2012 #1

Yes, Rush has been using a dog whistle for several years to his listeners. Major Hogwash Jul 2012 #3

Thanks MH, my dog HAS been acting funny lately zzaapp Jul 2012 #8

With all due respect, it is clear Raven Jul 2012 #4

Sorry, I misread the post. zzaapp Jul 2012 #5

He's on the phone to his masters, trying to figure out Warpy Jul 2012 #2

More than likely Rush is on the phone trying to apologize to Mitt for causing this shooting. Major Hogwash Jul 2012 #56

Please. He took a three day weekend. He's in an Oxy induced coma by now. nt DCKit Jul 2012 #78

This shooting was incredibly horrifying, but worst in US history? Initech Jul 2012 #6

12 dead, 71 injured. Major Hogwash Jul 2012 #7

There weren't 71 people shot and injured at Virginia Tech. Major Hogwash Jul 2012 #13

there were 71 people total. rateyes Jul 2012 #19

It is a fact. Major Hogwash Jul 2012 #26

I can't connect those dots ... 1StrongBlackMan Jul 2012 #32

I tend to agree with you on this. We should wait for the facts before jumping to conclusions. Booster Jul 2012 #38

71 people were shot in Colorado this morning and that is more than at VT. Major Hogwash Jul 2012 #133

how many were shot today? 71? rateyes Jul 2012 #140

I am in no way shape or form arguing that part. Initech Jul 2012 #11

59 injured. 71 total casualties. rateyes Jul 2012 #14

83 is a larger number than 71. Major Hogwash Jul 2012 #17

So you're just guessing then? zappaman Jul 2012 #48

I'm making an educated guess based on the facts. Zoeisright Jul 2012 #203

Maybe the shooter just doesn't like Batman movies? Myrina Jul 2012 #83

Or maybe he just wanted to watch the world burn jmowreader Jul 2012 #121
