Rush was happy when Tom Fox was kidnapped

[quaoar]

So I guess Rush must be hysterical with laughter now that Fox's bullet-ridden body has been found in a garbage dump after he had been tortured with electrical cables.

Limbaugh on kidnapping of peace activists in Iraq: "I'm telling you, folks, there's a part of me that likes this"

On November 29, nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh read an Associated Press report about the apparent kidnapping of four Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) activists by an Iraqi insurgent group. Limbaugh announced that "part of me likes this." He explained: "Well, here's why I like it. I like any time a bunch of leftist feel-good hand-wringers are shown reality."

After suggesting that the story "could all be BS ... could all be a stunt," Limbaugh said, "We'll take it face value at first." Addressing the kidnapped CPT activists, Limbaugh said, "ou've met the bad guys, and you tried your technique on them, and now you're blindfolded in a room with guns pointed at you and knives at your throat. I don't like that." He then added, "But any time a bunch of people that walk around with the head in the sand practicing a bunch of irresponsible, idiotic theory confront reality, I'm kind of happy about it, because I'm eager for people to see reality, change their minds, if necessary, and have things sized up."

1. When will america realize just how sick Limpballs and other like him are.

[Drum]

2. kick-n-rec

It is their own words that shall sink them....

:kick:

edit---
to Media Matters and OP quaoar: good catch!

[gratuitous]

3. As if the drug-addled Limbaugh would recognize reality

You know something Rush? I know you or one of your lackeys trolls through the posts here, so I'm talking as directly as I care to when I say "Fuck you, Rush." I dare you to go on a CPT mission, or even a delegation. But I know you won't because you don't have the guts.

[quaoar]

4. I'm sure Rush will go to Iraq

just as soon as he finds a Baghdad connection for more Oxy.

[cali]

5. I really hate that bastard,

but if he got murdered I wouldn't say how much he deserved it. These people are morally repugnant, in particularly because they claim moral superioriy and decry so called moral relativism.

[Joanne98]

9. I would

[cali]

13. Then you become that which you despise. n/t

[Joanne98]

16. Oh well.

[pinkpops]

6. Rush, him true Christian, right?

[mom cat]

22. Him true evil monster.

[Benfea]

34. Yes, I think he is.

Of course, I have a very negative opinion of organized religion in general and Abrahamic religions in particular.

[Crunchy Frog]

7. I wonder if he laughed

when that group of Christian missionaries got blown up.:puke:

"But any time a bunch of people that walk around with the head in the sand practicing a bunch of irresponsible, idiotic theory confront reality, I'm kind of happy about it, because I'm eager for people to see reality, change their minds, if necessary, and have things sized up."

He must be really yucking it up at the expense of the neocons.

[NanceGreggs]

8. That would be a dead-on accurate quote ...

... if he was talking about Bush and this Administration!

[file83]

40. Rush wouldn't know "reality" even if it came in the form of a PILL.

[jasmeel]

10. That is fucking sick!!! I've wondered if the death of Fox isnt the

best piece of propaganda the * admin could get. This would be their logic: A peace activist (could represent a democrat) gets killed by the evil Arab (the enemy). Thus this suggests the peace approach does not work. Just like what Limpballs was saying.

I know there has been a bunch of psyops stuff going on in Iraq to try and create support for the war. It's sad that I have to even wonder if this scenario is possible.

[TrogL]

27. Why just the American?

Four people were kidnapped (Fox, a Canadian and two Brits IIRC) but only Fox was killed. The other three were on a videotape last week.

[tblue37]

35. Probably for the same reason that Palestinian

plane hijackers used to check passports of hostages and then kill the ones carrying Israeli passports.

They specifically identify Americans as the enemy.

[gulliver]

11. What does the Iraq War show Rush about reality and theory?

Here is yet another chance for Dems to bash Republicans into the ground...the classic "air-headed theorists finally meeting reality" bash. Rush used it against a Christian trying to promote peace in Iraq. But Republicans have their chins teed up for an uppercut on it. Will someone please punch them?

On edit: I forgot to mention that Rush is a drug abuser. My bad.

[gonefishing]

12. Jeez I thought he was talking about GB and gang...

"But any time a bunch of people that walk around with the head in the sand practicing a bunch of irresponsible, idiotic theory confront reality"

Rush is and always will be an idiot. What is amazing is how many idiots believe him.

[Tin Man]

29. Bawahaha! You're right about that!

:rofl:

[xchrom]

14. kick -- this speaks for itself.

from the guy who had a cyst on his ass so he could get out of military service.:eyes:

[blue cat]

15. My sisters are fans of oxycontin rush

We were talking about reporters getting killed, and they had the attitude that they were stupid to be there, so they got what they asked for.

[gunsaximbo]

17. I tell ya folks I wish it was Lush Rimjob!

He's such a GOD DAMNED FUCKING ASSHOLE!

sorry for the pottymouth.

[Blaze Diem]

18. Rash L. was happy with a handful of oxy also.

The murder of human beings makes him happy.

Rash Rimjab is just one happy fellow.
(in a psychotic sort of way)

[Chi-Town Exile]

19. Could you imagine the moral outrage by the

repugs if say, for instance, an Air America host would utter such disgusting things about right-wing Christian activists?

How anyone can call themselves Christian and listen to that moran is beyond me. The Hypocrisy is absolutely astounding.

[dansolo]

20. Did he respond the same way when the Blackhawk mercs were killed?

There was a huge outcry when the private mercenaries were killed in Iraq and their bodies dragged through the streets. I'd say that they were shown a little reality as well.

[young_at_heart]

21. How much is he paid for saying stuff like this?

What a sick state of mind but even worse, the people who think he's worth listening to.

[quaoar]

26. Rush needs all that money he makes

Oxy ain't cheap.

[katinmn]

23. Why hasn't there been a Limpballs advertiser boycott?

Hell, I would boycott, harrass and protest in front of their corporate offices if we could shut him up once and for all.

[barbtries]

24. has he

said anything since the body was discovered?

[tabasco]

25. Ol' Rushie Boy used to be a peacenik himself!

That's right !

Back in the days when Ol' Rush almost got drafted, he wanted peace so bad that a boil erupted on his ass!

You can bet your ass that coward Limbaugh would have nothing to do with actually being near a combat zone.

But safe and comfy behind his mike, he absolutely loves war.

[pa28]

28. "He's a national treasure."

George W. Bush on Rush Limbaugh.

[Faygo Kid]

32. We're supposed to apologize for Dean, and they lionize Rush?

I said it in 1995: Rush Limbaugh was destroying political discourse in this country. Mr. "Majority Maker" in 1994. Most damaging American of my lifetime, and I am his age. He sickens me.

[JohnnyLib]

36. Limbaugh

Agreed, one of, if not the most dangerous voice out there.

Blood pressure aside, I listen to him most days because he seems to radiate the */Cheney undertones directly. Has anyone been able to dig up his direct communication with the White House?

[Faygo Kid]

38. I am honored to welcome you to DU. You seem too legit to quit.

My blood pressure is endangered in listening to him as well. You spell beautifully, and ask the right question. I am honored to be on this board with you, and look forward to more.

[pa28]

39. Same with Michael Moore.

Moore goes off about a "fictional war" and even though he was proven right he's radioactive. Democrats distance themselves from him.

Republicans, however, can fawn over Rush and appear on his show without fear of negative associations, media attacks and cable T.V. firestorms.

So many double standards by Republicans and the media I've lost count.

[Miss Chybil]

30. Too bad Rush had a boil on his ass. Maybe, some Viet Cong could've

practiced some of their reality on him 40 years ago. They would have unwittingly saved our democracy.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

31. So, Rush, you boil-assed, drug-addled, bloviating poltroon,

tell me this: If it's true, as you Bushlickers insist, that Iraq is fast becoming the flower of fucking democracy, and it's only because the evil Liberal Media refuses to show us all the schools and hospitals that are being built and all the flowers that are handed to our soldiers by grateful and adoring Iraqi children that we don't know this; tell me, O great, wise, methane-inflated god of the airwaves, how is it then that it's stupid for journalists and fluff-brained liberal peace activists to go there? It's safe because we've turned it in to a glorious Jeffersonian democracy and they all fucking love us, so what's the problem? Huh?

[TexasLawyer]

42. LOL

[mitchum]

33. But I will celebrate Limbaugh's death...

and I hope it's a painful one
no apologies,
mitchum

[Bluesplayer]

44. I hope he's not going to be cremated

as there are an awful lot of people who will piss on his grave. Keep it in mind, Rush - the waste liquids of thousands of people leeching down on you in silent salute to the damage you've helped to heap upon our country. Nice way to start your eternal trip, stinking like that... For some of us, it will be like a pilgrimage.

[0007]

37. Limbaugh is one sick asshole!

[TexasLawyer]

41. Forgive Rush, Father

And forgive his ditto-heads. They know not what they do.

Seriously.

[Bluesplayer]

43. Just vile

[Martin Eden]

45. "idiotic people confronting reality"

"But any time a bunch of people that walk around with the head in the sand practicing a bunch of irresponsible, idiotic theory confront reality, I'm kind of happy about it, because I'm eager for people to see reality, change their minds, if necessary, and have things sized up."

The same can be said about Bush and the freepers in regards to Iraq, except for one major difference -- they refuse to accept reality no matter how many bullet-riddled bodies litter the streets of their cakewalk liberation.

[TheBaldyMan]

46. so Christianity is a "irresponsible, idiotic theory" - what an ass

Funny, I'm eager for people to see reality, change their minds, if necessary, and have things sized up as well but for completely different reasons compared to Rush 'Buttboil' Limbaugh.

I'd like to see that fat fuck in camouflage pounding the beat in downtown Baghdad, he'd change his mind shortly after he had to change his shorts for the first time.
