Lush Rimshot, sit down comedian, saying stupid and outrageous things? Quick, call Mr. Romero.

Hate speech? From our Limbaugh? It's entirely likely, on a constant basis.

 
FireBreathingLiberal [TotalFark] 2009-04-24 06:07:02 PM  
Wait, isn't he the de-fatso leader of the Republican party?

The White Republican Party? Obviously.

Oh god, yes, please let Rush Limbaugh start attacking the crew. Epic lulz.

Mentat: Oh god, yes, please let Rush Limbaugh start attacking the crew. Epic lulz.

It'll go something like this:

"This guy, Shane Murphy, is such a big, strong HERO for taking on me, El Rushbo. He's so brave and tough that he allowed a bunch of black teenagers from the Somali Coast Guard to take control of his American flagged ship. He can't fight off a few black teenagers, but he can take me on? What a real hero. He's probably gay too."

 
oldebayer [TotalFark] 2009-04-24 10:23:52 PM  
I wonder if Rush has any idea how many teenagers fought in the last few hundred wars, including ones he managed to get out of fighting in.

 
real shaman [TotalFark] 2009-04-24 10:39:47 PM  
He posed a very interesting question: What if a Republican President ordered the killing of 3 black teenagers even if they were pirates on the high seas?

If you don't think there would have been a loud squealing, then you have a different concept of the media than I do.

 
skinink 2009-04-24 10:45:47 PM  

Limbaugh and the Republican Party are irrelevant at this time anyways. For all I care he could try to tie Donovan McNabb into the whole thing while he's on a roll.


Personally I would love for someone to interview Rush, but let the first question be about why he was coming back from the Dominican Republic with a bunch of pills for Impotence.

I'm going to tell you something that will completely blow your mind:

I would have praised Bush.

But, but, real liberals like seeing Americans die when there's a Repub in office. It makes them happy. Limbaugh told me so.

Makes me wonder how many blacks were executed in Texas while Bush was governor.

 
WorldCitizen [TotalFark] 2009-04-25 12:16:53 AM  
I dunno. I'm sure Bush was responsible for the deaths of black teenagers. Of course, they were Americans that he sent into a war of his choice in Iraq, but whatever.

This is such a stupid argument. There would be no one complaining. SWAT team snipers take out gunmen holding hostages all the time, and no one says anything.

This is just another example of Republicans whining about their imaginary persecution by everyone who isn't a dittohead like themselves.

 
Pericles 2009-04-25 01:01:02 AM  
I think a few people are missing the point here.

Were the three shot pirates black teenagers or not? WTF? How is stating a fact "hate speech?" What are we suppose to call them? Colored boys?

Everything Limbaugh stated is factually accurate.

 
Bugs_Bunny_Practiced_Psychological_Warfare 2009-04-25 01:01:46 AM  
Why be upset about killing boys unless he wanted to pay for sex with them?

 
Banacek 2009-04-25 01:02:16 AM  
There is nothing shocking about a 'shock jock' saying stupid things. What is shocking is the fact that a political party would be so crippled that they would turn to a shock jock as a leader.

So, if I create a situation that didn't occur...then I can create a reaction that only furthers my agenda with no supporting evidence whatsoever?

Fantastic.

I think most people have a different concept of reality than you do.

But let me ask you this, what spin do you think Rush would have put on this if a Republican had been the one to make the call?

Bush ordered the killing of many dark skinned "teenagers" in his War on Terror...

Just sayin'

When using the Rush voice in my head it sounds dangerously plausible.

The governor of Texas has nothing to do with executions, I think the Tex Gov can call one "stay of execution" but thats about it.

It's not a question simply because it starts with "what if..." and ends in a question mark. It's an assertion that the media would behave in a certain way, an assertion that makes heavy use of the straw man fallacy.

You know, if y'all on the right didn't engage in sloppy thinking like Rush is demonstrating here, and instead put y'all's brains to work and came up with a genuine vision or good idea every few weeks, your side would win a few more elections & wouldn't get ridiculed so much. Just sayin'.

It doesn't matter what political flavor the President its, the international laws concerning piracy are very clear and have not changed for two hundred years.

Every time I see some sort of pseudopolical discourse on MSNBC/FOX or hear another word from this gasbag Rush I imagine a number of Sara Palin clones nodding in approval.

Like that silly leader of the RNC who had to apologize to Rush for saying something negative about him?

Can'tLetYouDoThatStarFox 2009-04-25 01:09:20 AM  
I have no love for the Big Fat Liar, but I am reluctant to label anything as "hate speech." What does that even mean, anyway? Why use such a label?

TFA: "unacceptable" "disgusting" "evil" "hate speech" "I won't tolerate it."

Maybe Rush framed the issue inanely (although what he said seems to be technically true), but these kind of declarations are equally inane. He has freedom of speech, so beat him up on the merits if you're so convinced that he's wrong. It shouldn't be hard.

You should show a little respect for this man who despite being a fat, three times divorced draft dodger who has done so much drugs that he lost his hearing and needs yet more drugs to have an erection has risen to the heights of power in the nutbar wing of conservatism.

You're missing the point; Rush refused to refer to the pirates as pirates and instead referred to them as "black teenagers".

That's like me referring to the 11 Sept 2001 hijackers as "misguided Arab youths".

I'm thinking that the only teens that were killed in Texas were the victims of black teens...

...but I could be wrong.

 
OgreMagi 2009-04-25 01:10:28 AM  
Let me get this straight, describing three black teenagers as "three black teenagers" is considered hate speech?

WTF!?

"inanely"? He intentionally misrepresented the situation in a desperate attempt to smear the President. If a Left Wing pundit had done that to Bush, you'd be calling for his head right now.

If Obama cured cancer, Republicans would complain that cancer was all liberals' fault anyway.
