Rush Limbaugh Calling For Riots In Denver


www.thedenverchannel.com
DENVER -- Talk show host Rush Limbaugh is sparking controversy again after he made comments calling for riots in Denver during the Democratic National Convention this summer.

He said the riots would ensure a Democrat is not elected as president, and his listeners have a responsibility to make sure it happens.

"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.

There is such a thing as the first admendment. ( Freedom Of Speech )
To many people are getting fired or in trouble for using this right because it offends others who disagree with what it said. He's actually right about these two Democrats hurting America, and believe me, I'm not a republican but I know liers and terrorist when I see them, and they are running for President of the United States this year. I don't want any of the three in the White House.

I agree they are all incompetent.
I do not agree with the fat b**d's calling out for riots.

When I first read the headline, I thought, "Now Limbaugh's gone too far."

However, having read the article, I can see that there is a chance that the Democrat Convention could be the scene of riots given the rift between the ideology and the demographics of the candidates and their supporters.

Limbaugh cited Al Sharpton, saying the Barack Obama supporter threatened to superdelegates that "there's going to be trouble" if the presidency is taken from Obama.

It sounds to me that it's Sharpton who's calling for riots, if that quote is accurate.

I can see how such an event would be catastrophic for the Democrat party.

I can't justify Limbaugh's reveling in such a possibility, but I've always said that Limbaugh is an entertainer and a ratings whore, so his views shouldn't carry as much weight as they do, especially with the left.

I never listen to Limbaugh, so the only way I know what he's saying is when his detractors post here. That's free publicity for Limbaugh.

As for riots in Denver, it could happen, but if the conventions are handled this year as they were in 2004, it's doubtful that anything very large could take place without being quashed in a hurry.

I must echo Limbaugh's thesis, however. Nothing could hurt the Democrats more than for a bunch of anarchists, left-wing radicals, and "truthers" to show up and get out of hand.

McCain is too close to being a Democrat for the Democrats to let something like that happen. The swing voters wouldn't think twice about pulling the lever for McCain in November.

I don't agree with it either but I'm not going to jump to conclusions until I hear the whole story. The media is all the time twisting the truth, but if he did say it then he needs to be called out for it. Is it against the law to do that? Maybe he has fallen off the boat and back into drugs.

Also Rush has been doing his show for ages and he know's what not to say and how to say it just to start something like this.

I do listen to Rush and Hannity on occasion. I also listen to NPR, and watch Bill Maher too. Rush is having the time of his life watching the Democratic nomination process. Anyone who isn't familiar with his Operation Chaos, the basic premise is this, he is encouraging Republicans in states yet to have primaries to re-register as Democrats and vote for whoever is currently behind in the delegate count to extend the Democratic nominating process. His ego has him taking credit for the large number of Repubs who have switched parties in several states yet to vote. I don't think he is quite as successful in this as he would like to believe, but neither do I believe that the effects are negligible like the MSM and Democrats are saying about this.

As a lifelong Independent, one of the things that I do like about McCain is how much the base of the Republican party doesn't like him. I liked McCain tremendously in 2000 and one must wonder where we would be now if he had been the Republican nominee then instead of Shrub. He and Hillary are very much the status quo candidates now. One of the reasons I really dislike Shrub is because after 8 years of him, I actually have to justify and reason why I won't vote for Hillary.

Personally, I'm undecided how I want to vote for Prez come November. All other offices I'm voting against the incumbent. I'm actually excited about the mudslinging to come once a nominee is finally for the Democrats. Both conventions could be explosive. You got the Repubs in one of the most liberal cities in the US and the Dems with a possible back room deal to be made. Should be fun.
