Rush Limbaugh Calling For Riots In Denver

[Ichingcarpenter]

Source: ABC news Channel 7 Denver

DENVER -- Talk show host Rush Limbaugh is sparking controversy again after he made comments calling for riots in Denver during the Democratic National Convention this summer.

He said the riots would ensure a Democrat is not elected as president, and his listeners have a responsibility to make sure it happens.

"Riots in Denver, the Democrat Convention would see to it that we don't elect Democrats," Limbaugh said during Wednesday's radio broadcast. He then went on to say that's the best thing that could happen to the country.

Limbaugh cited Al Sharpton, saying the Barack Obama supporter threatened to superdelegates that "there's going to be trouble" if the presidency is taken from Obama.

Several callers called in to the radio show to denounce Limbaugh's comments, when he later stated, "I am not inspiring or inciting riots, I am dreaming of riots in Denver."

1. I'm calling for riots in Rush's butt ...

Go take your oxycontin, gasbag ...

[kactuskooler]

96. America Would Be Better Without Rush Limpnoodle In It

How Rush could even have his own talk radio show is beyond me. This fool is nasty, bitter and a whacked out 'sheeple'. I don't even think he's human. He needs to be committed.

[Yurovsky]

102. There can't be riots in Rush Limpdick's butt...

with all the oxy that guy has been gobbling down over the years, he probably hasn't had a BM since Clinton's first term.

Nothing but oxycontin and 15 years of Swanson Hungry Man frozen salisbury steak (family size portions). I just want to know why his heart hasn't exploded yet ... oh, wait, he probably doesn't HAVE ONE.

[bjobotts]

175. He could be arrested and charged with sedition for trying to incite riots.

[bjobotts]

178. Proof he cares less for the country than for personal gain. Viagra and foreign kids.

[wizstars]

204. Besides, his head's in the way. n/t

[But....]

212. ....

:rofl:

[Blue State Bandit]

171. Can we now have him arrested? For real! He just advocated the instigation of Civil War!!!

Can this be anything less than a federal crime? Is this not a threat to the U.S. government? The Treasury Department? Is this not an attempt to overthrow our government during a Constitutionally mandated transition process of the leadership of the United States of America? Is this not, and I know I am "NOW" pushing the envelope, a provocation to insight political terrorism against the United States?

Now for my satirical question (so you think). Who's fundies do you think will answer the call? His, or Bin Ladens?

Fry that Fat Bastard!

[marshall]

250. Depends on how many of them will be at the convention

I doubt if any of his acolytes will register as Democrats and attend the convention too. I guess a few hardcore ones might infiltrate the convention (and/or this website!) but I don't imagine it will be that much of a problem.

[MidwestTransplant]

173. Beware of anal cysts

[tekisui]

2. He has been calling for a race riot, hoping to split the Dems along

race lines.

He is one messed up, drugged up asswipe.

[Deny and Shred]

224. Any potential rioters should be ensnared in nets and spend a night

in the parking compound, like in NYC in 2004 before the Repub convention. I know three people to whom that happened, two of whom were walking home from work.

[depakid]

Limbaugh's above the law- and he knows it

Why shouldn't he push the envelope?

[DJ13]

3. I thought inciting a riot was against the law?

:shrug:

[Stuart G]

22. It is against the law...I am sure that it is also against ...

all ethics that the FCC is supposed to stand behind..What kind of fine will he get?..I recall one station got fined ..was it a million for showing a breast? ..Is inciting a riot worse than showing a woman's breast? According to whom?

[KamaAina]

47. So is doctor shopping for Oxy

having sex with underage boys in the Dominican, inducement to commit vote fraud, etc., etc., etc. But remember, IOKIYAR.

[curiousdemo]

58. It is against the law, but

when you'll a pill popping, doctor shopping, voter fraud talking, fat idiot with million of listeners, you can do anything you please. This man should have been thrown in jail a long time ago. It's ironic that Wesley Snipes is going to jail on a misdemeanor, and this fat SOB has committed 3 felonies and nothing happen.

[dutch-Eddie]

256. err.... 20 millions, the largest audience of any radio talk show

in the world. Just thought I'd keep the facts streight.

[texastoast]

127. Yep

We'll see how that plays out. There are limitations on free speech, but I'm not sure the bought and paid for SCOTUS would apply it to limprod.

[The Wizard]

128. The Chicago 8

were tried for inciting riots at the Democratic convention in 68. At least that's what I remember of it. Using the public airways to incite violence, I believe, has interstate federal sanctions associated with it. Bush will pardon the punk ass mother fucker anyway. Some people are saying he was once known as fudge packin' Rusty.

[JerseygirlCT]

214. Just one more in a string of illegal acts by Limbaugh

Will he ever see justice? Doubt it.

[CoffeeCat]

4. Yes, and Hillary loves to make Limbaugh's dreams...

...come true, so she can continue on with this un-winnable charade--that eviscerates our party
and diminishes our hope of a GE win in November.

She can't surpass Obama in delegates, unless she garners 70 percent of the vote in each remaining
state.

So why the hell is she doing this? Why is she giving Rush Limbaugh his dreams on a silver platter--and
in the end she'll get nothing and her entire party suffers.

Why? Why?

In Hillary's world, the race for stupidity has no finish line.

[Donnachaidh]

13. take this crap back to GD-P.

Geez, someone left the gate open.... :grr:

[Ian David]

16. If Hillary or Obama supporters can't put aside their differences for a good Limbaugh-bashing thread

... then they need to calmly sit down, take a stress-tab, and think things over.

I make this suggestion to you, because if I told you what I REALLY think, I'd have the mods on me like ugly on Sensenbrenner.

[Scairp]

38. For real

I need a strong drink before going there...and coming back too. As for the anal fissure king, let him run his big fat mouth. Sooner or later he will get slapped down. He's pushing it and will go too far, even for the bought-off FCC officials. The day he openly calls for a sitting president to be assassinated, likely to happen after one of the Dems wins the WH, he will be history. We can dream anyway.

[txaslftist]

220. If riots do occur, and Rushbots instigate them, it's trouble.

Not only for the people hurt or killed in the riots, of course, but for all of us. This is a very dangerous tinderbox Rush is tossing matches onto.

[wryter2000]

63. I couldn't agree more

We don't need any candidate bashing here.

[SusanaMontana41]

100. Thank you, IanDB1

Surely we all can agree on scumbag Limbaugh.

[Frisbee]

231. If he's so bad...

then why is his network called "Excellence in Broadcasting"? Please explain that! :sarcasm:

[The Doctor.]

130. No...

No mods on Earth could achieve that... and I've been on FR,CU, and RNUS!

Next you'll be saying they'd be on you like fat on Hastert!
-That'd take all the mods in the Universe!

[dbackjon]

48. your shit is getting old - grow up and take your crap elsewhere

[The Doctor.]

131. Right... 'no place for "outrage" on DU'.

:eyes:

It may be out of place, but it's not old or unfounded.

[bjobotts]

179. Republicans want to divide party by getting supporters to hate each other

[bjobotts]

180. Tear down McCain not each other's candidates. Praise your own and quit trashing the other

[bjobotts]

181. Dem voters will make up their own minds without bashing each other's candidates

[bjobotts]

182. We can all see what's going on without having the "other" attacked to convince us to change

[bjobotts]

183. Any dem is better than McCain, or more conservatives on the SC or DoJ

[bjobotts]

184. Republicans want us to stir up hate against each other.Stop playing their game.

[Blue State Bandit]

205. Whom, and to what end, is the organization accountable for splitting the party....

is a touchy area, if you were paying attention in PA. Poor choice of words do not compare to bald-faced lies. But this Limpdick issue is, in my view, less about splitting the Democratic party, and more about instigating the excessive use of force during our convention. This attempt to create havoc could cause the city of Denver to become militarized. And then Bush could, possibly get to use "Marshall Law" to turn the convention into a catalyst for things far worse than a fractured Democratic Party.

The question is, what would come out of it? Race-riots? Civilian v. Security Services (Police, Guard Units, Secret Service)? Democrat v. Democrat? Democrat v. Republican?

I don't think I've ever heard of such a clear cut case of homegrown terrorism in my life. This is no different than the Blind Sheik instructing his followers to bomb the GW bridge, or bin Laden making videos saying "Death to America". And the threat should be taken seriously; by us, the DNC, and the Secret Service.

[cui bono]

244. Do you know that there's a bigger "message" box under the "subject box?

[dbackjon]

207. The only outrage should be against a supposed "Democrat"

Like the poster I responded too turning a thread about a Republican ASSHOLE like Limbaugh, and turning into a Democrat-bashing thread.


That shit is unacceptable, and should be banned from DU.

[The Doctor.]

208. Never been here during a primary, eh?

The spillover is inevitble. Don't worry, It'll dry up nicely as soon as the untenable candidate drops out.

[dbackjon]

230. Yes, I have been here through many primaries

And both candidates are either super, or untenable...

[The Doctor.]

243. Hehehe... too true.

I won't be all that upset with either. I just know who's going to bring the bloodbath to the Republicans this fall.

[PassingFair]

5. Ugh! That man makes me physically ILL.

"We don't kill our children." ???

WTF?

"There won't be riots at our convention," Limbaugh said of the Republican National Convention. "We don't riot. We don't burn our cars. We don't burn down our houses. We don't kill our children. We don't do half the things the American left does."

[rfranklin]

17. No, they burn other people's homes and kill children in...

defenseless Third World countries to steal their native resources. They have their priorities.

[bdamomma]

192. and kill other peoples children like our own in Iraq.

[varelse]

67. He forgot about Timothy McVeigh?

Or... was that guy somehow on the "left" too?

[zeos3]

154. ...and that woman who drowned her kids

by driving her car into a lake and blaming it on a black guy. Am I remembering this correctly? Wasn't her dad some big right wing idiot?

[NYC]

168. Susan Smith, and you remember correctly.

Welcome to DU. :hi:

[varelse]

190. Why, yes, her stepfather was some big right-wing idiot

a big, right-wing idiot who - and let's not forget this part - molested her when she was a young teenager, and then proceeded to have a "consensual" sexual relationship with her after she reached adulthood. He confessed and apologized later, in court, in the penalty phase of her trial.

[kactuskooler]

105. Riot

If a riot does happen in Denver and anyone gets hurt or killed, Rush should be blamed 100% since he threatened a riot during the DNC. He's a poor excuse for a human being. I doubt he is one. He is proof that one can live without a heart.

[musette_sf]

6. didn't John Lennon get in a mess of trouble

from the gov't for just being (falsely) accused of saying something similar about Chicago '68?

yet Anal Cyst Boy blithely carries on, despite anti-social and putatively illegal behavior that would put any of the rest of us in jail.

[TomInTib]

76. Yep. They tried to deport him.

And Yoko's ex used it against them in a custody case.

[musette_sf]

89. can we deport Rush?

maybe to one of those sunny isles where he was in need of his doctor's boner pill script....

:hi:

[TomInTib]

90. Back at'cha.

I should have called you.

Geoff Muldaur just put on a jaw-dropping show at Schoenberg's for about 20 people.

I could have got y'all in.

Tom

[musette_sf]

92. was his oh-so-charming ex there?

and yes, i would have enjoyed it. next time!

[TomInTib]

98. No Maria.

Heck, even I am back in the studio.

Gotta bunch of new dreck.

[Canuckistanian]

111. The Dominican Republic?

I don't think so. Even poor, desperate counties have their standards.

[iamthebandfanman]

7. if al said that, hes right

but i wouldnt look for a riot in denver ;)

[Robbien]

8. If politicians in the city of Denver and state of Colorado were smart

they would ask for an public apology and demand that Limbaugh specifically ask his listeners to not incite this destruction of public property and safety.

[Hawkeye-X]

44. Great idea! I'll contact my state senators and call for condemnation and

a disinvitation for Rush Limbaugh to come to Colorado - they should call for a warrant for his arrest if he ever lands in any part of Colorado.

Hawkeye-X

[Donnachaidh]

9. Like the dozen or so *Patriots* who showed up in Washington?

The biker *duds* who milled around on the grass, calling the throngs passing them names?

Oh yeah Rush -- let's have a re-run of THAT riot! :rofl:

[Gidney N Cloyd]

10. Rush knows a dem in the WH means no one to fix his little legal problems.

He must be worried stupid.

[Parche]

11. These People

Now if he said, protests in Denver, that is acceptable, but inciting riots?
where people can get hurt? that is the Right wing ignorant republican way?

:grr: :grr: :hi:

[Karenina]

14. RWANDA, anyone?

There's NO accountability in America...

[Fovea]

12. Inciting to Riot...

Hmmm.

February 18, 1970

Chicago 7 defendants found innocent of inciting to riot.

Rush should not fare quite so well, as his speech has little social redeeming value.

OTOH, I will really enjoy seeing him bound and gagged in the courtroom.

[Ichingcarpenter]

15. That's how I see it too!

Denver is not happy with this statement, so I hope the Democratic Mayor of Denver
follows up on this.

[mountainvue]

150. The governor is a Dem and former DA also. n/t

[Crowman1979]

18. Must be the (illegally) prescribed drugs he is taking!

Besides his back hurts. LOL I love this Video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeBhBdP18QE

[TroglodyteScholar]

19. Isn't it supposed to be the case that speech inciting violence isn't protected by the constitution?

This fucking clown will never be subject to the same laws the rest of us abide by.

Just because he came back after some calls and changed direction doesn't mean a crime wasn't committed. If I mug someone, and then later on say, "Oh it wasn't my intention to mug you," I've still committed the crime.

[Barrymores Ghost]

[zbdent]

70. In 2000 (I think), Howard Stern got a phone call from a nutjob swearing he would

assassinate one of the Presidential candidates ...

Howard and Baba Booey begged and pleaded with the guy to say he was joking, and the guy refused ...

They knew what was going to happen ... off the air, they got calls from the Secret Service, and Baba Booey gave them all the information ... the person was arrested and brought in for psychiatric evaluation.

Of course, that was a nutjob wanting to kill a Dem ... and he got punished.

In the early part of Bush's residency, a guy was arrested for joking about a "burning bush" ...

Now, Rush Limbaugh, with his psychotic followers, is calling for riots (gee, how is that not inciting a riot?) at the Dem convention ... he's already called for his followers to break the law with "Operation Chaos" ... and he walks away without a scratch ...

Jim Morrison was arrested for "inciting a riot", allegedly for mooning a policeman ...

Where is there any balance?

[nutshell2002]

116. Not necessarily

As sick as it makes me to say, his vitriolic spew may be protected. He can always argue he was not "inciting or producing IMMINENT lawless action," the standard under Brandenburg v. Ohio. This whole discussion is purely academic as we all know NOTHING will ever happen to his fat @$$. Ever.

[eagertolearn]

20. I suggest that we get Rush to lead these riots and maybe just maybe he'll

die from a heart attack! It may be more exercise than he can handle!

[Phred42]

21. Isn't Inciting to Roit a Federal Offence - Class A Fellony?

[Stuart G]

23. Yes, and where will be the uproar against this asshole.? by whom?

[spotbird]

55. Shouldn't the FCC be involved?

It was on the public airwaves.

[alfredo]

24. I hope someone has brought this to the attention of Homeland Security

[ladywnch]

25. how is it that this a**hole is A) still on the air and B) not arrested for

inciting a riot? Aren't there FCC rules about this? We've already determined that there are federal laws about it. Where are the authorities? Arrest his worthless ass already!

[oedura]

139. The appointed (not elected) members

of the FCC are probably among his regular listeners.

[bluesmail]

26. Riots lead to martial law-just in time to suspend the election.

[bdamomma]

191. Rush getting his orders from the Bush Cabal.

[struggle4progress]

27. He's pushing a standard Nazi tactic: riot, then complain about absence of law and order

[bigpenguin]

28. Meanwhile

here in the Twin Cities, we're prepping for the Republican Convention the only way we know how.

More prostitutes!

[Connonym]

156. LOL!

and lots of extra booze.

[Kool Kitty]

170. And make sure those bathroom stalls are

sparkling clean.

[rinsd]

29. That would seem to fall out of 1st Amendment protection status wouldn't it?

[Zachstar]

124. There have been multiple ruling on this.

The 1st amendment does not protect a person calling for violence, saying or printing defamatory statements, or giving out classified info or info that is meant to cause harm.

Rush broke the law in my view. Violated his FCC mandate in my view (Public airwaves MUST be used for the public good and promote safety (EBS for example) ) and because he has many who follow him like a god he may be indirectly the cause of a riot when and if his listeners try to incite one in my view.

The democratic convention risk may have doubled thanks to his remarks. He needs to be arrested.

[badgerpup]

169. Sorta like yelling "FIRE!" in a crowded movie theater...

when there is NO fire...
First Amendment does not cover being a shithead.

I really think Limbaugh's stepped over the line here.
Isn't he supposed to be in treatment or something? Because he's sure behaving as though he's...well...under some kind of chemical influence, and I do NOT mean Viagra.

[damntexdem]

30. Hmm, "listeners have a responsibility to make sure it happens" is not inspiring or inciting.

What would be, then?

He should be prosecuted for trying to incite riots -- let his dreams become his nightmare.

[DogPoundPup]

31. Nice of Denver's ABC channel to run a free ad for Limpball

Any real news ever come outta that place?

[LaurenG]

32. Rush is a non issue

One day, probably when he's in his depends adult diapers he'll be thinking back over his life and realize what a prostitute he's been.

For now he entertains the sickest among us and aggravates those who know better.

[IronLionZion]

33. Who appoints leaders of the FCC and FBI?

Do you need any more reasons to put a Dem in the white house? Anyone could do it, either Obama or Hillary. But the laws of the United States need to be enforced. Do it Democrats. Inciting riots/violence is against the law and is NOT free speech.

You whiny crybabies who threaten to sit out the election should think about all those offices a Dem president would appoint and all those bills that need to be signed into law but McCain has promised to veto.

After inspiring and inciting riots, you don't get off the hook by claiming "I am not inspiring or inciting riots, I am dreaming of riots in Denver." Cover your fat ass with something bigger you stupid drug addicted hypocrite blowhard.

[TommyO]

103. The FEC also needs to be involved

after all he is tampering, yet again, with an election.

[New Dawn]

34. That sounds like a terroristic threat to me.

But of course, only Republicans can get away with making those.

[ohio2007]

35. riots? Why would anybody lock step with him

unless they planned to riot in the name of ( your fringe cause here ).

small groups always show up to riot..make the news....steal a few soundbytes....hope to get laid ...ect

yeah.
It's not exactly rocket scientology to make those kinds of statements by viewing events such as mayor Daily's Chicago of the past

[DrZeeLit]

36. Doesn't Homeland Security call that TERRORISM -- jihad at best? They need to

capture his ass.... as an enemy combatant.

And send him directly to Gitmo -- do not pass the urine test, do not collect any cigars.

[abq e streeter]

37. What's the big deal? Its not like he failed to wear a flag pin, or said people were bitter,

"screamed' into a microphone in a room full of college kids, botched a joke , or any one of a thousand horrible criminal acts by those accursed liberal Democrats. ( I'm hoping I don't actually need to point out the sarcasm , but ya never know...)

[bigdarryl]

39. Can someone please put a muzzle on this fat fucks mouth

[fascisthunter]

40. Calling for Riots=Enticing Riots

[Hawkeye-X]

41. I'll call for an arrest of one Rush Limbaugh if he incites riots here in my hometown

He's not welcome in my state at all.

Hawkeye-X

[NMDemDist2]

42. I actually heard that. I listened almost by accident while looking for a NPR

station while I was driving across Texas yesterday.

:wow:

[TheCowsCameHome]

43. OK, who's gonna run with this? C'mon feds, let's go.

Let's stop talking and force the proper authorities to get all over his fat, pasty ass.

[Initech]

45. Limbaugh incited riots = end of AM talk radio

Oh you can guarantee that there will be hell to pay for that asshole if he's allowed to carry this out!

[lovuian]

46. this Oxycodone narcotic dealer gets away with drugs

and calling for riots

He is such a nobody

[dabenpb]

49. Lets all file a complaint with the FCC

http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/complaints.html

[barbtries]

82. i tried to do it

but i don't have enough information - i never listen to rush limbaugh and don't even know what station he's on here. can i file an incomplete form and still make it count?

[Hawaii Hiker]

50. And I am dreaming of that fat pig Rush Limbaugh dying of a heart attack

or pancreatic cancer

[TheCowsCameHome]

57. Wrong.

Too fast. Suffering slowly would be more appropriate.

[Barrymores Ghost]

51. Inciting a riot is a federal offense. I'd say if he keeps it up...

...swear out a warrant for the fat, drug-addled, pedophile f*ck's arrest:

Under federal law, inciting a riot applies to any person who organizes, encourages, or participates in a riot. It can apply to one who simply urges or instigates others to riot. It does not apply to someone who merely advocates ideas or expresses beliefs, if those ideas and beliefs do not involve advocating violence.

The federal crime of inciting a riot carries a possible penalty of up to five years in prison and a fine.

State and local governments also have laws that make it a crime to incite a riot. The penalties range from fines only to jail time. It is important that the law, even if only a municipal ordinance, specify the conduct that that is prohibited with sufficient definiteness that ordinary people can understand what conduct is prohibited.

Keep it up, you bloated douchebag.

[spotbird]

52. Isn't this promotion of terrorism?

Why is the support of violence OK when Republicans do it?

[santamargarita]

56. Yes it is! When is he being brought up on charges for Treason?

Put this god damn son of a bitch in jail!

[Occulus]

162. Isn't this how the bloodlust in Darfur began?

The radio talking heads calling for violence? Or am I thinking of a different African nation?

61. K&R and I contacted the FCC

:kick: Limbaugh's ass!

[Pab Sungenis]

84. Which option did you use for the FCC?

His broadcast wasn't "indecent," was it? Should I use the "indecency" form or "general media complaint?"

Anyway, we should all do this. Nearly a million complaints, 99.99999% of all FCC complaints, are made each year by one "watchdog" right-wing group. We should start doing the same.

[madeline_con]

88. I just used general.

I'm assuming someone has to read all the emails they receive. And hoping they're so inundated, they'll make the little peckerwood apologize live.

[Pab Sungenis]

94. Done.

Make sure you mention your local L* affiliate on the complaint form. If the individual stations start getting fines or trouble when their license renewal comes up, then maybe this crap will stop.

[HEyHEY]

64. What is this? Fucking Kigali? Time to pull him off the air....

When media starts to use the power to incite violence, let alone internal instability, it is time to pull that person off the air. Look at what has happened in countless nations because of talk show hosts encouraging violence against the "opposition." It's time to tell Rush you're all American's first, political foes, second.

is anything going to be done about this? is anybody with any kind of clout speaking out about this? what he said appears to me to be inciting a riot and that is against the law, right?

:banghead:

[Greyskye]

78. Jesus H - check out the poll!

Do you think Rush Limbaugh crossed the line when he hoped for riots during Denver's DNC convention?
Choice Votes Percentage of 2676 Votes
Yes. 1145 43%
No. ..1531 57%

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

81. Limpie keyboard warriors out in force. Typing like their lives depend on it.

:eyes:

[barbtries]

83. there's a bot on it

anyone can vote as many times as they want.

[Vogon_Glory]

79. Provocateur Inciting Miami-Dade Courthouse Steps Again

Most of us remember the Rethugs' attempts to disrupt the recount of voter ballots at the Miami-Dade courthouse in the wake of the 2000 election. The "demonstrators" mostly right-wing Republican Congressmens' staffers got kid-glove treatment from the Miami Dade police and their politically ambitious mayor.

I can't help but wonder that if in this very changed political climate the little dears or their successors try a similar stunt in front of the Democratic national convention, the Denver police and the country sheriff's departments might prove far less tenderhearted.

:dem:

[mhoran]

80. Jeez

I don't know how I can still be surprised by these jerks.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

85. He says riots are the "best damn thing that can happen for this country"

Sedition, indeed.

[mitchum]

86. I'm not inspiring or inciting a painful death for Chickenhawk Limbaugh...

I am dreaming of a painful death for Chickenhawk Limbaugh

[bluerum]

87. maybe some of his doltish followers will show up, makes some noise and

get their sorry pasty asses arrested.
:bounce: :evilgrin: :bounce: :evilgrin:

[darue]

91. permanently hospitalize this man now n/t

[mcollier]

95. Why do any Christians like this guy????

Rush is so unpatriotic... In fact he's a terroristic fundamentalist extremist.

[darue]

110. I would hope at this point his impotence is showing, and they'll loose interest in him n/t

[HEyHEY]

93. I'd like to see the fox news take on this

[jwirr]

97. In your dreams for sure. The reason behind the riots in 68 was

entirely different - they were anti-war. Any "trouble" this time would come only if people feel their votes have not counted. And the most likely "trouble" from Obama supporters would be refusing to vote in the general - not rioting.

[Robeson]

99. I'm sure the Bush justice department will get right on this, pronto.

[ginnyinWI]

101. What is he smoking?

He really has grandiose ideas. He really thinks he's "all that." He thinks people are going to risk getting arrested--for him!

[Canuckistanian]

112. Nothing. That may be the problem.

Other than cigars - the most expensive nicotine delivery system invented.

[Thor_MN]

104. Seems to me that Limpballs has just signed on as a responsible party to anything that does happen.

Anyone that gets charged with anything can legitimately name Oxyrush as a co-conspirator.

[otherlander]

106. Who does he want to riot?

republican voters?
Democratic voters?
Cops?

[bow-tie]

107. How can he get

away with this shit? How?

[classysassy]

149. Friends in high places

that evil mother f-----,is helping to destroy this country,while his fans(dittoheads)support his evil ass.

[tavalon]

108. Isn't that illegal?

Kind of on the same level as crying fire in a crowded theater. I mean he's trying to incite rioting.

[kentj44]

109. when we should be walking into

the white house we can't pick a candidate and when we do are they electable? unbelievable.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

115. I think you're looking for GD-P.

[kentj44]

185. that was way over my head

sorry i'm not as bright as you but i am bitter.

[darue]

113. oh boy, he's issued another fat'wahd - look out! n/t

[roamer65]

114. The FCC should do its job and remove this drug-addled freak...

from the airwaves. NOW!

[SoCalDemGrrl]

159. We all need to file an FCC complaint - I did - it's easy - just

go to fcc.gov and follow the prompts for complaints.

His network is Premiere Radio Networks.

I simply said that this man is inciting a riot/violence and
needs to be stopped.

[Frances]

117. Shouldn't the Repubs who condemned the MoveOn ad

about General Petraeus (sp?) condemn Limbaugh? Certainly the Dems should make speeches on the House floor just the way the Repubs did about the MoveOn ad.

[Dukkha]

120. they have before over the “phony soldiers” comment

[roamer65]

121. Malloy is unloading on Rash right now.

Get 'em, Mike!!!

[whistle]

122. That happened in Chicago during the Democratic Convention in 1968

...and it was republican CREEPs who were behind it to give Richard Nixon the peace and order platform Now here's Limpballs openly promoting riots in the streets. The FBI should arrest this guy

[kevinbgoode]

123. And will this get played on national media in a constant loop

for a couple of weeks? Nope.

Anytime a wingnut advocates violence and attempts to interfere with the American election process, they get a free pass, even though they are part and parcel of the Republican party.

[kevinbgoode]

125. Isn't he on the broadcasting loop for Armed Forces Radio?

Seems to me he needs to be immediately removed from the airwaves. Those statements threaten morale among our troops - particularly national guard soldiers from Colorado who are forced overseas instead of being here to help the public.

[TheCowsCameHome]

126. And I would be estatic if he was the first casualty

but the fat coward will be safely holed-up thousands of miles away, fucking wimp that he is.................

[Aviation Pro]

129. I'm calling the police....

...to arrest the drug-addled, Viagra-chugging, boy buggering fat bag of shit.

[GainesT1958]

132. The only riots OxyRush would inspire in Denver...

Would be riotous boughts of laughter! He HAD to retract that one; he could have been arrested for inciting riot under the "fighting words" doctrine. Now wouldn't THAT have been a super sight!?:eyes:

B-)

[defendandprotect]

133. Rush sounds desperate . . . however, it also sounds like Nixon's dream of

knocking out a convention with supposed chaos --- and stopping the elections.

[texastoast]

134. I think I feel a trip to Denver coming on

Fat Bastard will probably be there. Maybe I can find him and have a little chat. One thing I know for sure, he won't put his wimp ass in the line of fire.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

137. OK. Sure that

sounds like a plan. Except, there's no plan amid your concerns about his weight and parentage.. :shrug:

[texastoast]

143. I just like the vernacular

I'll try to be a little more creative for you next time. Besides, Fat Bastard is a fine ale. :toast:



but a little heavier (ahem) than Arrogant Bastard (which could apply to Rush as well).

[poppysgal]

135. well I oughta

why is this jerk still on the air? Nothing like inciting violence to improve ratings.:banghead:

[Doctor_J]

136. It could turn positive if a few thousand Limbeciles are mowed down

:shrug:

[NeedleCast]

138. Limbaugh is Terrified of both Hillary and Obama

His fear tastes like candy.

[minnesota_liberal]

140. I'm dreaming of someone shooting Limbaugh

But, of course, I would never condone, inspire or incite such a thing.

[pinto]

141. Eh. The man sure clings to outdated stereotypes of the Democratic party.

Blowhard radio entertainer. No more, no less.

[creeksneakers2]

142. The riots are only part of it

Limbaugh also is trying to sabotage our election process with crossover voting designed to disrupt the Democratic side. Limbaugh promises more than that though. He brags that there will be a series of acts throughout the election which will undermine the ability of Democrats to choose and promote their nominee. Its like Nixon dirty tricks but this time the whole GOP will be in on it.

Limbaugh is extremely dangerous and I wish the 2/3 of Americans who would be shocked to learn what goes on during his broadcasts would find out. When Rush worked for Mitt Romney during the GOP primary the networks carried his endorsement as big news, reporting on how influential Limbaugh is. Since they finally admit Limbaugh is influential, they should report on how his lies and hatred divided America and just how much he and his followers want to destroy America. The public should know that McCain associates with a man who wants to cause riots and undermine elections.

[GrimReefa]

144. I'm not inspiring or inciting someone cutting off Rush Limbaugh's head and shoving it up his fat ass

but I am dreaming about it...

[file83]

152. I'm not either. I'm also not inciting anyone to shit bag his front door...

...but I'm dreaming about it.

[badgervan]

147. Inciting a Riot

... go directly to jail; do not pass "go". Think the "lib" media will pick this up and run with it? Wanna bet?

[Savannah_H]

148. The Chosen One

I think he means that neither candidate nor their followers are going to be happy when only one is chosen. I can't imagine either of these two accepting defeat. Can you?

[Minnesota Raindog]

158. Rush wannabe says use machine guns on convention protesters

That's what Minnesota Thug Radio host Chris Baker said on the air recently:

http://www.mnmonitor.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=3632


Baker's suggestion is violent suppression of what he calls "stinky protesters" that are part of "an industry funded by billionaires and communist organizations (and) they are well-coordinated and incredibly dangerous."

Baker continued: "So we've been talking about police protection during the upcoming convention when all those stinky protesters are coming. There seems to be a big debate over whether or not police officers will be able to wear helmets, carry shields, use pepper spray and Tasers on this crowd. You know, I'll tell you what works on a crowd like this -- a machine gun, that always works very well."

Baker's co-host, "Jordan," agreed: "Mow 'em down, baby!" he added.

"You must have order, you cannot have a civilized society without order and if that means cracking a few skulls, so be it," said Baker. "A good ole boy network is what you need and hand out some ax handles."


So if that's what Baker prescribes for protesters at the Republican National Covention in St. Paul, I presume Mr. Law-and-Order would call for the same treatment of Rush's protesters in Denver, right?

[nachoproblem]

164. Oooh, those damn dirty communist billionaires!

:rofl:

[B3Nut]

194. Holy Crap....

Those guys must have a serious jones for brown shirts and red armbands. I'm absolutely ashamed to have the misfortune of sharing a species name with these putrescent pustules. Just....wow.

[Danger Mouse]

241. I think that ignorant sack of fucking shit piss garbage would be happier in Nazi Germany,

where his worthless fucking ass belongs.

[SoCalDemGrrl]

160. File an FCC complaint at fcc.gov

[Historic NY]

161. They should go to the RNC Convention.......more fun that way.

[Oldtimeralso]

167. Naw all that shit would splatter too much. Think of the environment.

[budedis]

163. a stupendous piece of shit

I'll gladly pay Al Franken's travel expenses if he'll go kick Rush's fat bubblegum ass.

[L. Coyote]

165. Bush's Brain on Drugs meets Frankenster.

[BreweryYardRat]

172. Inciting to riot at the very least. Could it be stretched out to treason?

I'd love to see Rush get tried and executed for treason.

[Miss Chybil]

174. Rush Limbaugh is a cancer on our country. nt

[krispos42]

176. This is an excellent idea

I'd love to see freepers and morans treated like WTO protesters are. Tear gas, water cannon, mass arrests, beatings, tasers, german shepards, DPD undercover officers filming the crowds, etc.

I'd love to see that!

[tomreedtoon]

177. This is the "blood on the floor" Bill Nelson wants!

He wants riots in Denver, too. He wants to make people pay for defying the will of the FLorida Repub...er, the Florida Democratic Party. (Which doesn't really exist.)

I say, we have the riot. But we have it around Limbaugh, whom we will kidnap and force to face his public in person for the first time in about a decade. Hey, he skipped Vietnam, might as well show him what kind of "college pranks" were played in Abu Gareb.

[Paladin]

186. It Made The Front Page Of The Denver "Post" This Morning

I'm already signed up to work the convention in August; if they establish a Riot Control group, I'll be in it. It'll be my pleasure.

Limbaugh is beneath contempt....

[ohio2007]

188. You going to be a riot control thug and cave in the heads of old lady's from code pink?

They plan on demonstrating. Also anarchist plan to show up along with the truthers.

A real mile high zoo show with the usual suspects on the slate

[ashling]

187. Lock him up

Get this terrorist off the streets. If, as in his later revisionist history, he is merely dreaming of riots, he is obviously delusional and needs to be put under observation for his own protection in some place like , say, Guantanamo. Perhaps he is suffering from PTSD from all that wrestling with bottles of Oxycontin or Viagra. :shrug:

If Homeland Security is not interested in this, then the Secret Service should be.

[RantinRavin]

189. Typical Conservative

Get someone else to do the fighting for him.

[AngryOldDem]

193. Rush Limbaugh as Abbie Hoffman?

So...who will be Mayor Daley in this scenario?

Just what we need...a flashback to Chicago 1968. Nothing would surprise me, though.

[Mad_Dem_X]

195. Jeebus...just when you think

these right wingers can't sink any lower. Yes, Rush, you *are* inciting riots, when you say things like, "riots would ensure a Democrat is not elected as president, and (your) listeners have a responsibility to make sure it happens"!

Un-American Asshole.

[fascisthunter]

196. Shades of Rwanda

I guess if it's ok to to encite riots, we could say the same for his studio. Fair is fair, right Limbaugh???? Yes, I didn't think so.

[kwyjibo]

197. I hope someone pees in his soup.

If I ever had to serve that asshole at a restaurant, or do his dry cleaning, or shine his shoes, or take out his garbage or park his car, I'd have a hard time keeping myself from sabotaging everything I could. He deserves it.

202. Rush will keep his job, because he didn't call anyone a whore or a "nappy-headed hoe." n/t

[libodem]

203. He's a big, fat, idiot!

Everyday it's "Operation Chaos" in the "Democrat Party". He makes me cringe. He has NO right to talk about MY party or to plan any riots. What kind of idiots listen to him? He happens to follow the local morning show on my AM station and I snap him off the minute I hear his bloviating.

[sonias]

209. Yes he still is - a big fat idiot

Even if he lost weight, that phrase was not a dig at his weight as much as it was the vastness of his stupidity. In fact he's an idiot to an infinite degree.

[mdmc]

206. the unbeatable high

RIOT

You know the Rocky mountain police will make sure it will happen

[yurbud]

210. Can you imagine how swift the response would be if some lefty called for riots?

[JerseygirlCT]

215. Homeland Security, FBI - at the door in less than an hour nt

[Kajsa]

211. This is all the mayor had to say?,

"Limbaugh's comments prompted Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper to say
"Anyone who would call for riots in an American city has clearly lost their bearings."

"lost their bearings" ?

Limbaugh incited riots- aren't those the actions of a true "terrorist"?.

:(

[JerseygirlCT]

213. What would the media response be if this had been called for

at the last Republican convention?

The FBI would be involved in a heartbeat. Suddenly no one but credentialed, loyalty-oath-swearing Republicans would be admitted to the city. The media would spend months declaiming against the instigators and how shockingly violent and un-American they are - what a threat to Homeland Security.

How much do you want to bet we here nothing more of this except here at DU and a few other liberal sites?

Ho hum, inciting violence against Democrats. Anything else new today?

[dave123williams]

216. Incitement to riot is a felony.

Couching it in the word 'dreaming' is a paper-thin obfuscation. Everybody knows he's inciting to riot, ergo, he's inciting to riot.

[Cheap_Trick]

217. Go watch Talk Radio, the Oliver Stone film

s'all I'm sayin....

[delt664]

218. This is patently illegal.

He should be arrested immediately. He is advocating that people engage in illegal activity, he is attempting to incite a riot, and he is interfering with an election.

Oh wait, we have already learned that hes a member of that group that gets their own separate set of laws - none.

[lonestarnot]

219. Why isn't that fat tard turd in jail yet?

[and-justice-for-all]

221. Rush is no different that the Islamo-fasict that do this very ...

same shit. And isn't this a crime, To instigate a rioting?

[madmom]

222. How about a HUGE gay rights parade in Minniapolis ?

[LynneSin]

225. Limpballs is broadcast all over the US, do you mean to tell me that

there isn't ONE states AG that will bring charges?!? Come on!

[LynneSin]

226. Here's a previw of the Riots to be held in Denver at the DNC....

These idiots can't get more than a few hunrded together at the same time. For the RNC in NYC, I got together over 100+ DUers to join in the massive protests at the RNC Convention in 2004

[nachoproblem]

228. The probability of Dittoheads rioting,

or the probability of them turning off Fox News or logging off Free Republic long enough to leave their mom's basement and go talk to other human beings about something besides paperclip sales or whatever they do for a living, is roughly zero.

Rush's "dream" of riots at the DC was just a cheesy rhetorical device trying to make it look like those nutty liberal whackos are in grave danger of ruining their own convention with their nutty liberalness. Because if Al Sharpton said something about "trouble," it obviously means folks throwing trash cans through plate windows. I mean, he is black, isn't he? ( :sarcasm: obviously)

[Shipwack]

229. I'm 100% positive that there will be a riot at the convnetion...

I'm also 100% positive that a camera crew from Fox or CNN will "happen" to be nearby.

Furthermore, I am 100% positive that those instigating the riot will be Rove operatives doing there best to make the Democrats look bad.

[rasputin1952]

232. I'm calling for tar and feathering Limbaugh...

"I am not inspiring or inciting riots, I am dreaming of riots in Denver."...and I'm dreaming of him w/his tongue nailed to the rudder of bush's Titanic...does that put me into "protected status" simply because I wrote something?

Fact of the matter is, the GOP can't win w/o something that isn't nefarious and underhanded. In a real election, they might get 35% of the popular vote...w/McCain, I'd be surprised if they get 25%.

The whole idea behind "Operation Chaos", is that the RW knows they have a loser for a candidate, so they don't even try to bolster McCain...all they can do is try to toss dirt and crap at the D candidates and eventual noiminee...they have nothing, and everybody knows it.

[Phred42]

233. FOlks - THIS IS TERRORISM Against DEMOCRACY, the CONSTITUTION and The American People

Fat Bastard needs to be run prosecuted for this.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

234. Isn't he inciting terrorism?

[greyghost]

246. Indeed he is! That's a much better felony charge!

[billyoc]

235. Who will rid me of this pus-weeping ass cyst?

Operation Ass Lance.

[Vektor]

236. In addition to anal cysts, I think he has one of those pork tape worms in his brain.

Eating holes in what's left of his feeble grey matter, making him more and more irrational with each passing day.

What an absolute idiot.

[TheCowsCameHome]

237. I'm dreaming he'll be the first casualty.

[Danger Mouse]

238. So, when is he going to be arrested for inciting civil disturbance?

That IS a crime, right?

[Crowman1979]

239. If you see a group of a dozen old white males gathering around SUVs in Denver.

Then that would be the gathering of operation chaos. Just get a big net and drop it on them, they won't go anywhere.

[McCamy Taylor]

240. Just a reminder, I have been warning that this has been the RWs plan all along.

Rush is just letting the folks on the ground in the right wing in on the higher up's schemes is all. Because the RNC does not want to send in too many organized agitators. It will be safer for them if a bunch of spontaneous crazies show up that they can disavow.

[Doctor_J]

242. Hopefully some of our gun-owning DUers will take that opportunity

to use their weapons to preserve democracy by shooting as many Dittiots as possible. Otherwise why have guns :shrug:

[Crowman1979]

247. Whoa...lets try a more peaceful solution!

Either plant a grannie to give them marijuana brownies, or park a van with an exhaust system that lets out green smoke (for all of those cheech and chong fans). Then have naked hippies dance around them, and send the pictures to their employers. LOL

Oh wait, a better idea! Have some gay dudes who look like Ted Haggard, Larry Craig and Jim Guckert dance around them!

:grouphug: B-) :hippie:

249. Limbaugh Downplays 'Riot In Denver' Comment

snip
Glenn Spagnuolo, an organizer with the protest group Re-create 68, mimicked a comment by state Rep. Douglas Bruce, R-Colorado Springs, by saying:



"We don't need another 5,000 illiterate Limbaugh listeners coming to Colorado."

snip


Limbaugh justified his statements by referring to the Rev. Al Sharpton, who promised demonstrations in Denver if superdelegates defy the popular vote and give the Democratic nomination to Hillary Clinton instead of Barrack Obama.

"He was throwing down the gauntlet to the superdelegates -- you take this election from Barrack Obama and there's going to be trouble. There's going to be trouble in Denver," Limbaugh said.


http://cbs4denver.com/politics/Limbaught.Denver.Riot.2.708265.html

I doubt left leaning Sharpton is going to lock step with right leaning Rush but it isn't hard to realize all sorts will show up....and now will be labeled as Rushes illiterate stooges ;)

that'll get the fight up in them

[SlavesandBulldozers]

251. Notice this race more than any other that the supporters are showing their true colors. nt

[Timothy Gatto]

252. Rush isn't wrapped too tight

I think the drugs have accidentally tripped the reality control in this guy's head.

[Crowman1979]

253. He's definitely gone to Caligula mode!

Probably doesn't even mind a little lead poisoning or carcinogens on occasion.

[SCBeeland]

254. This is what made me register here

I've looked at these boards for months and finally decided to register after this latest incident of Rush not thinking before he speaks.

I'm in Middle Georgia, youngest person at my job by 30 years, and all my coworkers basically worship Rush. If he's on, they're listening. I heard exactly what he said and it sure sounded like he was inciting a riot to me. Rush and Neal Boortz (who makes Rush seem tame) do this crap ALL THE TIME. They speak with NO sympathy, compassion, or remorse for ANYONE. I filed an FCC complaint the moment I got home from work the day after hearing this, although I know nothing will come of it.

He called for terrorist activity in a major American city, and will not be punished. I know exactly why, and I'm sick of it. Inciting riots, calling Katrina victims parasites that deserved death, they don't care what they say. The worst thing about it is that there are people that agree with this GARBAGE, or else these people would not have radio shows. The truth is that if anyone here went on the radio and said what Rush said, you'd be in custody RIGHT NOW. So why not Rush? And I'm expected to sit back and accept this?

[4dsc]

255. The real riots will take place in Minneapolis-Saint Paul...

Since I cannot attend the Democratic party convention as a delegate, I thought I would attend the GOP national convention in Minneapolis-Saint Paul as a protester..
