Limbaugh to Shep Smith: "For liberals to now claim that the atmosphere is somehow more violently anti-Obama is simply preposterous"

In light of the recent murderous events conducted by conservatives, this no doubt should be considered a serious threat....a death threat to be exact.
i don't condone it. but? a sick and sad part of me enjoyed watching it unfold. do you think america is edging towards that? i hope not. i'm too old for that stuff now. rather just sit back with my beer and watch the game.
but duty calls. be? be ever vigilant. honest.
Hick, please find the quote where anyone here said "it never existed before".
We'll wait...
Good thing I'm not a right wing crazy who might be set off by a video game. Some of them don't seem capable of separating fantasy from reality.
Limbaugh to Shep Smith: "For liberals to claim that the atmosphere is somehow more violently anti-Obama is simply preposterous"
Yeah, sure Rush . . .
"Obama has lived for 48 years without leaving any footprints -- none! There is no Obama documentation -- no records -- no paper trail -- none -- this is no accident. It is being done on purpose with Media help - but to serve whom & why???"
Say, Rush, weren't you saying something similar the other day? When'd you go all soft and librul on us?
Von Brunn writing at Freerepublic
Rush (and Cheney2012, falling for this crap on another thread), before you embarrass yourselves any further with this nonsense, read Von Brunn's psycho rant, and the props he gets from the wingnut freepers. THEN continue with your ridiculous defense, but only if you're wearing big red noses and baggy clown pants.
He sounds just like the teabagger hicks, like faillibrul, that visit this site.
So the bastard equates valid criticism of Bush and his insane policies with 'vile hate'? How many Holocaust Museums did the libs shoot up during those eight years of hell? How MANY, Rush?!
For the first time I am truly afraid. Afraid for this President. Afraid for this country. I didn't want to believe it but having Obama as President is turning out to be a double-edged sword.
I'm NOT afraid for the country however. My optimism for the country puts Ronald Reagan's sunny disposition to shame. And the reason IS that these guys are behaving like dying animals. And that MAY JUST MEAN that they are in fact DYING OUT. And in the meantime, they have a decreasing ability to do harm since they are finally being revealed for the hateful, racist, classist, pseudo-religious basket cases that they are.
This can only END well. It might be a bumpy ride, but the destination will be a better place. And I haven't been able to say that, and believe it, for 16 years.
they that sit behind televisions and video game monitors? they have no idea. no idea.
i can't believe i write that. it sounds insane. but hell, they are killing doctors because they don't agree with the law. if someone were to foreclose on my house...and i shoot them because i don't like the law...?
hello? americans? anyone out there?
Once you shot someone, however, you'd become an American hero, heir to the American Revolution.
I think it was Euripides who wrote, "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad." This insane love of firearms may well destroy this country. It's already destroyed some of our potential greatness.
In my mind, the METHOD of killing is irrelevant, and just because it's easier now (and that's just assuming you have a gun and the other guy doesn't) that doesn't mean that we're MORE MOTIVATED to do so, and if we are, it's not necessarily the easier method that's causing it. The motivation to kill comes from Religion, Racism, Homophobia, etc... Basically this completly irrational fear of the other. It's inherent in human nature and yet utterly senseless.
But if I had to do one of two things: diasarm people of educate them, I'd always choose the latter. If you try to do the former, without the latter, it just gets worse. After all, a gun didn't kill George Tiller, Stephen Tyrone or those recruiters. A religious nut and/or ingnorant right-wing racist conspiracy fanatic did. And THAT'S the problem. The inherent barabrism of these animas like Von Brun; who would get his hand on a gun, legal or not, regardless of our "love" of them.
And would going berserk in a crowded place with a pair of rapiers or a claymore really be any less deadly? I might be worse: it's makes a lot less noise, so people wouldn't clear out as quickly.
They haven't killed anyone. This doesn't mean I condone what they do, I don't, not at all. But no person has suffered physical harm because of their actions.
Note to Shep Smith...
Now that the defacto leader of the GOP/RNC/right-wing ideology has set his sights on you... your days at Fox are numbered!
Get out while you can and head on over to MSNBC... as they seem to be in need of a fairly rational morning host?
If you don't think that anything extraordinary is happening, you're back on the drugs
You corner the market on "spatting out hate on a daily bases"
Will he be made to apologize, I wonder?
