Sen. Salazar: Reprimand Rush

[Mugu]

By Howard Pankratz, The Denver Post

U.S. Senator Ken Salazar has asked today that the owner of 850 KOA "reprimand" Rush Limbaugh for what Salazar calls Limbaugh's "clear exhortation" for riots during the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

Limbaugh said earlier this week that he is not calling for a riot in Denver in August but only "dreams" of it, to the tune of "White Christmas."

"Now, I'm not inspiring or inciting riots. I'm dreaming. I'm dreaming of riots in Denver," he said mimicking the holiday tune. But Salazar, in a letter sent today to Clear Channel Radio, the owner of KOA, characterized Limbaugh's comments as "incendiary."

"As I read Mr. Limbaugh's comments about riots at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, they appear to me to be a clear exhortation that those riots are exactly what he wants to happen," said Salazar. "For that kind of incendiary comment, I ask Clear Channel to reprimand Mr. Limbaugh."

1. I was going to ask who the BIG COMPANY is behind Rush --

but you mentioned Clear Channel.

I'll contact them. I've already contacted the FCC and the local sponsors of his show here in Raleigh.

Good for Salazar -- the other Senators need to be on this like they were all over MoveOn and Imus. Why the silence?

2. Good, but Salazar really needs to reprimand BUSH. nt

3. Left wing Groups get congressional uproar from both sides just for name calling in an AD

This guy incites a riot in a major city in the USA and you could hear a pin drop in the Halls of power in DC.

Something is very wrong in the state of America.

And this is just one more glaring example.
