When will this evil man be yanked from the public airways?
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.
The Channel 7 ABC News outlet is reporting on their web site that Limbaugh then tried to brush the whole thing off as a joke.
Several callers called in to the radio show to denounce Limbaugh's comments, when he later stated, "I am not inspiring or inciting riots, I am dreaming of riots in Denver."
Limbaugh said with massive riots in Denver, which he called "Operation Chaos," the people on the far left would look bad.
"There won't be riots at our convention," Limbaugh said of the Republican National Convention. "We don't riot. We don't burn our cars. We don't burn down our houses. We don't kill our children. We don't do half the things the American left does."
It seems to me that when a message such as this is delivered to the lunatic fringe that follows Rush, it is the exactly like yelling "Fire", in a crowded theater. Is there no legal action that can be taken to keep these people from inciting to riot?
Limbaugh's comments prompted Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper to say: "Anyone who would call for riots in an American city has clearly lost their bearings."
It is a great deal more than loose, or lost bearings. It is a total failure of the American corporate media to exercise any control over the Right Wing while endless looping every gaff, every risible comment, and every imagined error of every Democrat in the election cycle.
This transcends humor, entertainment, or gaff. This is an act of treason against the American system of civic responsibility.
