Rush Limbaugh to go to prison!?

 
 
Reply Sun 27 Apr, 2008 05:18 pm
Denver : Colorado) Ucs News-- Following Rush Limbaugh's broadcast calling for violent riots in Denver, city officials issue a warrant for his arrest. Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper called Limbaugh a "dangerous domestic terrorist" that should be locked up.

No stranger to controversy talk show host Rush Limbaugh made comments calling for riots in Denver during the Democratic National Convention this summer. As part of his "Operation Chaos" Limbaugh is expecting Republican rioters to burn cars, burn houses and kill children.

"Riots in Denver, the Democrat Convention would see to it that we don't elect Democrats," Limbaugh said during Wednesday's radio broadcast. He then went on to say that's the best thing that could happen to the country.

John Hickenlooper disagrees with Limbaugh, "I don't see how a group of GOP thugs wrecking Denver and injuring our citizens aids the democratic processes of the nation." Hickenlooper went on to demand an apology from Limbaugh and stated that "If Limbaugh and any of his brown shirted thugs come to Denver they will be arrested."

Not if Limbaugh was speaking in a flippant manner. To issue a warrant for his arrest is partisan and malicious to the point of hilarity.

@Reagaknight,
I see a person with a history of drug use calling for riots. Borderline terrorism, that is.

I'm not aware of any manner in which he spoke those words, i wasn't there. I assume if there is a warrant out after him they must have a legitimate reason.

While believing in free speech there is such a thing as accountability. Where does honest opinion end and lies and smears began? Learning,Speech,&Attention Defects | Man with learning disabilities, communication disorders, ADHD, becomes author.

Protests are one thing. Riots inherently imply violence. Didn't the court's rule that yelling FIRE in a theater violated freedom of speech? Is this not the same thing

@Fatal Freedoms,
Rush spends his entire program reading articles and playing audio material that other people wrote and said. The left scream because he spends most of the time quoting them.

Regarding the riot issue, he began with referencing Al Sharpton. Rush said, "But the fact is that the Democrat Party has members in it that have already said, "There will be riots," Al Sharpton.

And remember the LA riots of years past when Maxine Waters said, "what did you expect" even though we saw a man have his head crushed in with a brick and people laughing and smiling while they burned their own town. Oh that's OK to say why--She's a liberal.

We had better get with the program. When the majority of the population is against the liberal health care plan and the President thumbs his nose at us: twists arms, threatens and literally blackmails politicians for their vote, congress is no better than the former Soviet Politburo --what should we do--just take it?

There is a crisis here. We are losing this country. We are nothing but pawns so the politicians can play chess and he is bringing it to the country.

If it were 150 years ago, there would be riots in Washington. People would take to arms with pride of patriotism. Enough is enough. The Liberal Democrats and their political correctness is a cancer paralyzing true democracy. Facts prove it over and over again.

Rush said if riots stopped the populous from voting for Democrats, it would be worth it. He also said that we don't do those things but if we did the country would benefit.

And, anyone who says we should concern ourselves with what others think about us, needs to take Poli-Sci 101. The leaders of the world manipulate their constituents and not the other way around. The leaders know what's going on and couldn't care less. The only people willing to make an issue of this is of course the left-wing driven news media.

I am certainly not advocating violence just pointing out that historically riots have changed many countries for the better and Rush was pointing that out.

Finally, Rush is in the entertainment business. That is his job. Radio hosts often take a position and add heat to improve ratings. This is no different. And it worked--didn't it.

Saying "there will be riots" is very different from telling people to go out and riot.

One is a prediction, the other is a command.

Oh, please! Give me a break. :what:


Every time there is a change people don't like it's always "We are losing our country", It never gets old let me tell you.

"Political Correctness" is a buzzword invented by Republicans as part of their campaign to frame the language we use in political discourse. If there is one thing they are good at it's using rhetoric to give a positive or negative spin to almost any concept.

You can ask the same question two different ways and get completely different answers. And that's exactly what they do.



If you ask most americans If healthcare treatment should only apply to citizens most will say yes, but If you ask the same group of people if we should deny immigrants treatment most will say no. It's the same question phrased in two different ways.

Which is why he isn't in Jail right now. He implied it, but it's difficult to prove an implication in court.

Yeah, FOX news has never done that. :rollinglaugh:

And I'm not saying people shouldn't rebel, if the government is no longer serving the people. I just think Rush and these other demagogues are hypocrites.

That is the problem. He makes absurd or exaggerated statements to get people's attention (for ratings of course), unfortunately a lot of people take these exaggerated statements seriously. It does not bold well for civil discourse and only serves to further polarize the American public.

@Fatal Freedoms,
Freedom of speech is not quite absolute. It is one thing to show a man and woman making love and something else to show a man beating the hell out of a woman. According to his grandmother Rush failled every couse he took in college. He couldn't even pass ballroom dancing.

All of the early references demonstrated the justification of rioting by the left-wing and it is dropped. Also, as you said, he said "we don't do that" but from a historical perspective a riot is certainly justified. Certainly more justified that the LA riots that Maxine Waters was very proud to discuss.

The reason why this has been in the news is because the pollsters continued to report that most did not want the new health care legislation yet they were being ignored.
The stats were blasted everywhere. Those against rose as high as 82% then landed on 50.8%.

"Political Correctness" was not the main issue--it was rioting. Political Correctness, regardless of who said it first, is a laughable failure.

Those who study politics knows that the leaders of other countries a very much aware of the politics that goes on here. The Poli-Sci 101refrence has nothing whatsoever to do with a Liberal or Conservative loyalty. This fact is far older than Fox News.

If you listened to Rush you would know he is not a hypocrite as are most talk show hosts. They all usually live by what they say Liberal or not.

Rush is not the problem. The question is why does he get so much attention? All talk show hosts function around ratings. Not just Rush which is why most take what they say with a grain of salt rather than engage in an emotional binge.

The icon you chose is prophetic: our "freedom" is becoming fatalistic.

Colin Powell had a "C" average in school--so what? Read the biographies of great people--you will be shocked.

So you think the race riots were less justified than riots to delay action on healthcare?

Do you have a source for these numbers?

I also recall Rush saying that we should set politics aside and support the president, this was of course when Bush was still president.

You'd be surprised by the number of people who DON'T take what he says with a grain of salt.
