I just called the field office of the US Secret Service regarding Limbaugh. I spoke with an agent and told him how Limbaugh was substituting Obama for Osama and repeatedly calling for the killing of Obama. I explained how I thought this was deliberate since it has been occuring frequently for the past hour and that they need to take his comments seriously.
About five minutes ago he said, to paraphrase "We need to kill Obama!" and went immediately to commercial.
I urge all persons to contact the Secret Service and tell them to investigate Limbaugh now.

This is in response to Limbaugh's show and a fellow Kos diary RethinkEverthing
Update: People have been asking me for proof. This was live radio and his show is not archived until the next day. Feel free to visit his show his website tomorrow and listen for yourself. Perhaps then you will be compelled to call. In the meantime, I am also contacting the FCC, this has got to stop. There are a lot of crazy people and this should be taken seriously even if some Rush fans think his tactics are funny.

Update 2: I saw I did not complete my statement and added that Limbaugh repeatedly called for the killing of Obama. This is what prompted me to contact the Secret Service. This was no slip of the tongue since Limbaugh continued to do so repeatedly throughout his show. As I explained the the Secret Service Agent that this was not the first time he substituted the two names however I was concerned enough that his substitutions this time were frequent and accompanied the advocating of killing.
While some say this is typical Rush, I feel that this type of speech goes over the line. Some have "told" me I should delete this diary because I have no proof and it is irresponsible of me to publish these statements. I will not because by dismissing this type of language, we allow people like Rush to fan the flames of hate and bigotry.
