Rush Limbaugh's Tucson Billboard (PHOTO)

It's just a coincidence, but it's an unfortunate one nonetheless. Reddit user carblos was in Tucson, near the site of the Arizona shooting, and noticed this billboard for Rush Limbaugh's radio show:

The billboard has apparently been there for quite some time, but Limbaugh's people might want to take it down now.

UPDATE: A spokesperson for Premier Networks, the company that syndicates Limbaugh's show, told Politico that the billboard was taken down on Monday, two days after the shooting.

1. I like it when they admit their guilt by removing things like this from public view

[Cleita]

2. Too late. It will live on in the internet forever.

They should have thought about the possible repercussions before they put it up.

4. so, why take it down? if it's offensive now, it was offensive before.

i'd leave it up as a testament to the recklessness of the right

18. I wonder the same thing. Either it's offensive or it isn't.

If they found it offensive, they shouldn't have put it up.
If they didn't find it offensive, they should have left it up.

Which is it? It can't be both.

5. I'd love to see old Mr. Fatass strapped to it.

6. Crazy liberals, trying to score political points off of an obviously mentally ill man

Crazy liberals, trying to score political points when their president has already said that this isn't the appropriate time or place to be scoring political points.

Crazy liberals,

7. I heard about that but thought he was talking to them....oh remember Terri Schiavo

[MadHound]

10. I think that you, and many others, heard wrong.

I think it was a message to everybody, left, right and center.

13. That's nice, I get it, I even understand the sentiment

But the fact of the matter is that Loughner is indeed mentally ill, and according to all the sources we currently have available, he wasn't influenced by RW media.

It is also a fact that the President called for a halt to all these political games surrounding this tragedy, games being played by all sides.

But whatever, do what you want. But when this comes back to bite you in the ass, making you look like a fool, don't say you weren't warned.

14. I believe my ass is hanging out somewhere back at the Public Option

15. "trying to score political points off of an obviously mentally ill man"

yeah, we should lay off Rush. The drugs have not been kind to his mental stability

[Vickers]

17. Har! Well played, my friend.

:thumbsup:

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

8. That's proof he's a straight shooter?

Looks quite the opposite to me.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

9. indeed

[ChazInAz]

16. To some gun nuts....

....that's purty good shootin'. They're not real big on nit-picking details like accuracy and such.

[progressoid]

11. "It's just a coincidence..."

Sure are a lot of those.
