At roughly 1:45 p.m. on his radio show Jan. 18, Tuesday, The Fat Boy shocked even me.
I wish I had a transcript of the approximately 45-second rant The Human Ass Cyst made before heading into a commercial break this afternoon. But I don't. I'll leave it to the more technically proficient among us to fish this turd of fascist wisdom from the EIB Network toilet bowl.
It was precipitated by a demented caller (are there any other kind in Rushie's universe?), a pus-for-brains resident of Dittohead Land who pronounced himself disgusted with any Republican who might show sympathy toward a liberal or a liberal cause, no matter what the reason or rationale.
This was after the caller patiently explained to Rush that the Tucson murderer was a liberal because it was only logical because the only attendees at Rep. Giffords' "Congress on the Corner" event WERE liberals. Makes sense, eh?
Rush didn't say a word throughout. He merely let the caller speechify while he breathed heavily through his mouth, wordless until the caller was done.
Then he spewed.
There is only one solution, Rush announced, a two-fold one:
First, take guns away from any and all liberals. Rush did not expound on the details of this proposition.
Second, liberals must be shut up. Here Rush did pontificate.
He said liberals must no longer have any access to computer keyboards or any other means of communicating with Americans through newspapers, television, radio, whatever. He said these must be forbidden to liberals in their entirety, so that all liberal voices, without exception, would be completely silenced.
Limbaugh then concluded by stating that if these two steps were taken, America could be healed again, and "100 percent of the lies" heard in our country would stop.
The rant itself was performed in a deadpan, humorless tone, with zero self-deprecating asides that might suggest to his dimbulb listeners that this might be some kind of a ha-ha funny.
Nope. Deadly serious.
And I mean deadly, folks.
So FYI.
