      So Bill O'Reilly has said at least one dozen times that this guy is not a racist.....and yet, once again Limbaugh proves Billy the Thug wrong.
      What say you Bill O?

        Every time Limbaugh steps in it, he resorts to his "I'm a humorist" defense. He can outright lie, make racist comments, misinterpret or twist the truth, just invent sh*t, and/or ignore some or all facts without being held accountable.

        It's a two step process:
        Step one: I'm joking!
        Step two: Blame the audience, accusing it of being thin-skinned and "humorless."

          Unfortunately, I realize that he uses this defense almost every single day. The thing is, Limbaugh, like Howard Stern, is nothing more than a shock jock, and an awful one at that, but unlike Stern, et al, Rush supposedly speaks (Is the voice and UGH face of) the republican party. Tom Coburn holds him up like some sort of trophy wife and has even mentioned his and Snerdly's name on the House Floor.

          i am just sayin' folks.

          Or which he uses quite a bit is he never said it. Pretty obvious when you have everyone heard you say it and media matters has it recorded. McCain did that even though all the major news networks said have him saying it. No one had the balls to call him on it though and rub it in his face he said it.

          IE every time he opens his mic.

          C'mon fat Palpatine, you're almost there. You managed to slander Latinos and made a specious connection to Obama...

          One more step...

          Say it with me...

          "Left wing plant part of conspiracy to throw the Second Amendment out the window"

          Was that so hard.

      Reports are the gunman was born and raised in Idaho.

      That might throw a wrench in the false Fast and Furious connection.

        Aryan Nations was based in Idaho. But just on the basis of this guy's name he would probably be excluded from that group. {Though stranger things have happened, no evidence of radical affiliation with this guy, yet.}

          I am certain the cheap bastard didn't order the Deluxe Dominican Delights package, so you are prolly right. Although, I am sure that showering is the first inclination of ANYONE who has been present while Rush disrobed. Sorry about the visual.

        What a stretch...
        And then waaaaaay at the bottom of the article, ABC News dutifully slips in this information hoping we won’t notice:

        U.S. Park police say Ortega may have spent time blending in with Occupy D.C. protesters.

        This is a five day old story about a man who may have fired shots at the White House with the intent of killing our President, and he has connections to the Occupy Wall Street movement.

        They are all up in arms about the fact that the cops thought he may be there, but he wasn't? Anyway...
        WASHINGTON - The Secret Service says the man wanted in connection with Friday's shooting near the White House has been taken into custody.

        Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez was arrested at the Hampton Inn in Indiana, Pa. at about 12:35 p.m. Wednesday and is in the custody of Pennsylvania State Police.

        Occupy hampton inns!

        I also really appreciated the humour in the breitbart post...

        The banana slug gets paid a lot of money to slime the national discourse.

        It's another giant clue showing just how broken our country is.

          Can give you an update on Banana Slugs on Sunday, in town Saturday evening for a BB game. Think this bunch will be slimmer, taller, quicker and perhaps more civil (never can tell about civility on a BB court) than a certain radio talk show host referred to above.

      Tubby doesn't disappoint. As soon as the suspect's name was mentioned, I knew he couldn't resist over-pronouncing it.

      Gotta hammer that "otherness". Fan that xenophobia. Remind millions of addle brained morons that the guy ain't white. He's of one of, y'know. those people.
