Jim Quinn laughs at caller's advice that Obama be placed "under the care of Dr. Jack Kevorkian"
Quinn adds: "Indirectly, the health care plan sort of does that, but it does it for us"

From the September 2 edition of Clear Channel's The War Room with Quinn & Rose:
Media Matters: The Palin chronicles
The Friday Rush: A series of conflicts
Contrary to media hype, Sarah Palin is very unpopular
Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity et al are stirring the pot in a very dangerous way.
Funny that they spent 8 years covering for Bush/Cheney and now are picking at everything under the sun.
He said they're doing everything SHORT of racial slurs.
Reading comprehension is your friend.
Way to make a point.
Wow.
According to starkey here, when Pete said, "they're doing everything SHORT of using racial slurs . . ." he REALLY MEANT to say they are . . .
. . . while, when Quinn laughed at a caller's advice that Obama be placed under the care of someone that practices euthanasia, he REALLY DIDN'T want Obama dead.
The mind reading powers of the wingnut on display. Truly wondrous.
"They're doing everything to foment hatred for Obama short of racist slurs. They saw Imus learn his lesson so they know they can't afford to go there." [emphasis mine]
Are you really THAT non comprehending? {rhetorical question}
Whatever you say.
How many years did YOUR parents keep you home from school?
TRANSLATION: I was home-schooled.
That's unpossible.
Instead, he laughed, then went on to the false talking point that the health coverage reform 'puts us all under the care of Kevorkian'. Letting the caller get away with threatening the President's life, Mr. Quinn went on to claim the President was threatening the lives of all Americans, starkcr31.
This is not acceptable.
The skit was in poor taste, and there was an outcry, and Rhodes did apologize. Sit a Democrat in the Oval Office, and suddenly death threats against our President are a ho-hum, business as usual occurrence. Nothing to see here, move along.
I know I shouldn't expect any kind of class from a guy like Quinn, who lost his radio gig over sexual harassment, the incident which he says is also responsible for his conservative awakening.
We have tons of Secret Service Agents floating around Pittsburgh.
Obama will be here 9/15 for a speech and then the G-20 arrives.
Don't worry you silly little legal rant about it. This isn't the first time I have reported him.
Thanx for nothing..by the way, did you report him? Or would you rather the President be the butt of a joke when it comes to the death of a President?
Same mentality they had when the Iraq War & the economy both went to crap: the first words out their mouth was, "what's YOUR plan??!!" Rightwingnut idiots basically took the wheel of the car, headed off of a cliff, then turned to the back seat to where the progressives were sitting, and asked, "how do YOU propose we stop this thing??"
BTW, puppychasingitstail, did YOU contact the proper authorities and report the crime? If not, I guess YOU'RE also complicit -- right?
Of course, using something like "Tiller the baby killer" is defended as 'free speech' (sanity free? yes)
Is it really worth trying to debate with this guy?
All week threads have been tied up with his "I know you are but what am I" routine.
Back in the dim days of the middle of the 20th Century, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, there was often respect between Liberals and (real) Conservatives. Barry Goldwater WANTED to debate (not 'debate' as in shout down opposition) JFK in 1964, but the Assassination ended that idea.
If it were Americans funding a movie and talking about the assassination of a sitting American president I'd be the first to stand with you condemning the movie.
I don't see any other options for the second guy. Either he is a racist, and thought the joke was funny, or he is not a racist, but is too afraid to stand up for what he believes and laughed along with the racist who told the joke.
Right, starkey.
Just like when one of these wingnut screamers compares Obama to Hitler, they're not really comparing Obama to Hitler.
Wingnut logic at its finest.
DING! DING! DING! We have a winner!!
I wondered who was going to be first, and how long it would take, after someone brought up the KKK that some wingnut would bring up Sen. Byrd. Puppychasingitstail, you NEVER disappoint!
Once again, its funny, the wingnut thought process:
They will bring up Byrd's 50-year-old KKK association at the DROP OF A HAT . . .
But, let someone else talk about the Bush misAdministration, and, suddenly, they don't want to "dwell in the past" anymore . . .
Next question.
Face it Starkers, your party is increasingly becoming a haven for racists, blackshirts, religious zealots, and unrepentant ignoramuses.
Next question please
Laughter about another man's death is not funny, but I think people knowing how un-intelligent Mr. Quinn is. Now thats funny!
As soon as President Obama
- ignores 50+ separate warnings of a major terrorist attack on the US
- responds to a PDB entitled "BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO STRIKE IN US" by going back to barbecuing and brush clearing on his fake ranch
- continues to sit on his arse with a blank look on his face reading to schoolkids on day of said attack
- launches two preemptive wars in search of nonexistent WMDs in response, costing the lives of 4000+ US servicepersons
- Spends $12 billion/month on said wars, attempting to fund them with tax cuts for the wealthy
- plays air guitar in LA while New Orleans drowns
- watches the economy, including the budget surplus he inherited, melt down completely
- lowers US prestige throughout the world
. . . I'll be MORE THAN HAPPY to talk about him like a dog.
Deal?
-Spends more in 2 months than any other president in history has spent in their entire term(s).
-ignores people that froze to death in Kentucky.
-Goes back on every single promise he made.
-Goes on apology tours every chance he gets and make us look like p*ssies all over the world, causing North Korea and Iran to do even more missile testing and threat-making.
-Makes the economy worse paying for his own liberal pork projects.
Deal?
Deal?
The true ones certainly are.
Remember, Dubya' was most certainly the WORST President in American history.
Hm, that sounds like someone's opinion.
I thought opinion didn't equate fact . . .
The wingnuts believed him, and that made it alright.
