      ... and I don't believe you ever stopped taking Oxycotin.

      I also don't believe that rational people believe a word you say.

      and I don't believe that you believe half of what you are saying.

      Yea, it's sounds so implausible that a right wing nut case, armed to the teeth under the Second Amendment, who screams and yells irrationally at public functions would ever consider violence...just so out of character. <sarcasm>

        oh but crazy left wing socialists in central america are completely harmless. I bet the new black panthers are harmless as well when they intimidate white voters and get off scott free. BTW whats irrational about asking someone to read a bill before they sign it? Do you just sign legal documents without reading them? That sounds irrational to me.

        When did rush say threaten these politicians with death? He never did genius. He may have said to challenge them at town halls but thats free speech. If you cant handle the questions dont have a town hall. Pretty simple huh? Oh and about the lying part. So obama didnt lie when he said healthcare reform would be deficit neutral and the CBO said it would cost nearly 300 billion dollars? Sounds like a lie to me.

      A coven of right-wing yakkers, bloviating at the corporate microphone...

      have teamed up with health care lobbyists to terrorize Town Hall events across the nation. This is the United States of America?

      The scum has risen to the surface.

      Mr. Limbaugh, have you received deaths threats or is your security there to keep women or men away from you?
      Can you now come out and say you have received death threats? If so, we will post your words above. And what does "..frankly don't believe " really mean? Does it mean that "unfrankly you do believe" the threats.
      Rush , you are beginning (YUK YUK) to make NO sense.

      The breakdown of your rambling every day shows how nuts you really have become. Such a shame....three hours a day of wasted air-time. Rick Santorum could have that spot.

      Hahahahaaaaaa For Rush, there is no uninsured, no homeless veterans, no homeless children and no death threats against democratic congressmen. He always wants to raise doubts in his listeners. It is sad to think that some people believe him.

      I just wish and pray that nothing happens to anybody in this debate on health care.

      Amazing how someone can stir-up so many unbalanced people, then try to convince himself there are no unbalanced people.

      Hmm, so far the only violence to come out of these town hall meetings has been by union members who support this disaster known as health care reform.

      (psst, its on video)
