Is it my imagination, or is Rush Limbaugh comparing the Democrats and the President to rapists and murderers? And what does Rush Limbaugh mean when he says "they must be stopped"? How does he propose that "they" must be stopped? How does one stop rapists and murderers? All this comes on the heels of the New York Post cartoon which shows (for lack of a better name) political violence.
Quote from Sam Stein at the Huffington Post:
RL: This is... it's about power, it's about control. These people genuinely look out over this country from their lofty perches. They don't like what they see. Otherwise...
Caller: So they can go somewhere else! Like, I don't understand, why do they have to stay here? Like, leave us alone!
RL: At this point, at this point Gretchen, I don't care about the why. They're not going to leave. They're trying to control it. At this point, the only thing is they must be stopped!
Caller: I agree...
RL: Within the confines of our Constitution, and the political arena of ideas, they must be stopped. I don't care why they see this country the way they see it. I don't care why a murderer does it. I don't care why a rapist does it. I don't care why this Muslim guy offed his wife's head. The NOW gang is out there saying 'oh, that's not domestic violence, that's just, uh, that's just...' what do they call it? 'Culturally honor killing. Or this woman was going to divorce him, that's against the law. That's his diversity.' I don't care, I don't care why anymore. If I figure it out, I'll be glad to tell you because it's interesting to know, but it doesn't matter in terms of defeating them.
