From the August 7th edition of Premiere Radio Networks' Rush Limbaugh:

Can we finally arrest this inciter of violence and un-Democratic treasonous punk and toss his fat drug addled ass in prison??
Rush knows perfectly well that when he says what he says on a daily basis that his so-called dittoheads will go out and undermine our fragile Democracy!
The right-wing has made treason simple to imply (just read any of Ann Coulters pathetic books) and as far as I'm concerned...
Rush is committing treason every time he steps up the rhetoric he knows will lead to incitement!

Title VIII: Terrorism criminal law
Main article: USA PATRIOT Act, Title VIII
Title VIII alters the definitions of terrorism, and establishes or re-defines rules with which to deal with it. It redefined the term "domestic terrorism" to broadly include mass destruction as well as assassination or kidnapping as a terrorist activity. The definition also encompasses activities that are "dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State" and are intended to "intimidate or coerce a civilian population," "influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion," or are undertaken "to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping"
I'm not sure he's acting in a treasonous fashion, but it -does- appear Mr. Limbaugh is in violation of the Patriot Act!
Maybe now the right-wing loons will finally realize that their defending that un-Constitutional crap was a mistake?
That... or they will simply blame Carter and Clinton for it
It's time that this IDIOCY STOPPED! Rush, Beck, et al, are playing with fire and they seemingly DON'T CARE.
He wasn't selling buttons, so I'm guessing you actually haven't watched the video. He was handing out pamphlets. Also, as has already been noted, this altercation took place -after- the town hall was over, and the representative had left.
Shoved into walls? Where does that even come from?
So, you're saying that union people acted stupidly, Rush? Sounds like kind of a rush to judgment, after that whole Gates affair. Are you sure that's a word you want to be throwing out? Or, do these people count for less since they are in a union?
"This is why it's called Operation Chaos! It's not called Operation Save Hillary. It's not called Operation Nominate Obama. It's called Operation Chaos! The dream end... I mean, if people say what's your exit strategery, the dream end of this is that this keeps up to the convention and that we have a replay of Chicago 1968, with burning cars, protests, fires, literal riots, and all of that. That's the objective here."
Does this sound at all familiar? Because it's what you said was the objective of your Operation Chaos, spoken by you on your radio show, April 23, 2008. Congratulations on achieving the living definition of hypocrisy.
'Unprovoked'? the video does not show that. The recording begins after the incident began.
(As often as Mr. Limbaugh jumps to conclusions, and as far as he tends to leap, I'm surprised he's not thinner. I hear he's been losing weight recently, though...)
Some of those folks have done shameful things before, certainly, but it seems to me that Limbaugh and Hannity are kind of alternating between covering up the astroturfing and some kind of moral equivalence, which is something they always railed against in the past. The wrongness of a few SEIU people getting out of hand does not justify the alleged tweet urging people to bring guns to these town hall meetings, and that most certainly wouldn't have occurred to the sender without the daily partisan amplification on AM radio and cable TV. Amplification always yields distortion, you know.
