Keep up the crazy Rush, keep it up right until someone shoots at the Whitehouse, or trys to fly a plane into it. Wait a minute, that was in the 90's, the last time Rush was railing against a Democratic President. MMMM

I can only think of a few people that I know in the military that listen to this clown... I outrank them, so there.

He's becoming more and more inflammatory in hopes of someone finally just saying "stop" so he can scream "FIRST AMMENDMENT BLAH BLAH BLAH." It's win-win for him. Either someone eventually caves in and actually does something, or someone steps up and tries to get him off the air and he gets to scream about his freedoms.

This will continue until the conservatives take power, or Rush/O'Reilly pass away.

If a recent Vanity Fair article is to be believed, the average age of Limbaugh's audience is 67. I don't think you have anything to worry about there.

Subby is Al Franken? Should have listened to the quote. Coup was not encouraged, just wished by many. Subby gets his own FAIL tag.

This is pretty much playing to the Wing Nut base, and the Chicken Hawks who love him.

Pretty much most of the military people I know, are happy as hell to getting the hell out of Iraq, and while they're not happy about Afghanistan from a logistical or deployment point of view, they all pretty much agree that more troops, and greater resources need to be shifted there--not just for safety's sake, but for the over all mission.

Rush loves to talk tough, but it's about as deep as PETA...

 
bobbette [TotalFark] 2009-07-02 02:37:50 PM  
He has to step it up since Glenn Beck is encouraging Osama to attack America again. He's been out-crazied for a week, and on TV.

For those not keeping track of right-wing agitator logic:
- calling for international terrorists to attack your country: NOT treason
- calling for the illegal overthrowing of the US government in total violation of the Constitution, with or without a military component: NOT treason.
- disagreeing that a foreign war in Iraq is necessary: treason.

WTF.

 
thomps [TotalFark] 2009-07-02 02:39:49 PM  
eep in that Limbaugh is the only pundit still broadcast daily on Armed Services Radio, so our men and women in uniform are getting fed this garbage on a daily basis.

holy shiat, really? we give this assbag a direct line to our active servicemen?

I think that would only galvanize his broad fanbase and supporters. The best thing you could do is point and laugh at this douchbag.

Yeah, what is needed is for some dirty tricks team to hack into his home computer and plant some horrifying stuff on it. Mess around with his bank accounts to make it look like he is donating to Muslim charities. And best of all attach his name to shell companies that he does not report the profits to.

In the end he will not be convicted, but the exposure will kill his career as a radio personality. Problem is that Rush wants the Democrats to come after him... so the only way to deal with him is surreptitiously.

Oh, low blow!

I agree with you about the military side. I recall from when I was in that one of our bigger fears was being sent somewhere half assed. Several of my fellow Marines had served in Beruit, including one I remember lost several friends in the truck bombing of the barracks. He told us all several stories that were clues to me that :1. More stuff went on there than is widely known and 2. He was still bitter about not being allowed to do more, hit back, you know what I mean? Either go in all out, or get out. Coincidently, he seemed very pleased about the massive build up for the first Gulf War, always commented about how it didn't look so half assed.

Yeah, for over a decade now, I think.

So, what is going to happen first? He dies from a drug overdose, has a heart attack/stroke, or is executed for treason?

You know, if I don't like someone I usually just try not to talk or think about them.

From reading Fark posts, I'm doing it all wrong.

On the contrary - he and Ann Coulter have been indispensable in showing 'Merica the true face of the Republican party. As a liberal, I say bring on the WARGABLE.

Heart attack. Looks like he gained back all that weight he lost a few years ago. Plus, it's really hard to convict someone of treason.

 
Weaver95 [TotalFark] 2009-07-02 06:15:30 PM  
Rush has been making...questionable...comments about this sort of thing for the past month or so. I honestly don't know how to write any of this stuff up on my blog, it just sounds so crazy when I stop and try to put it into words for people.

God, I hope I get to see him die of a heart attack before my liver gives out.

I'm really not a nasty person by nature, but I hope Rush Limbaugh dies a painful death. I'll make it my mission in Hell to cause pain to him.

I don't usually literally laugh out loud when reading through these threads, but I laughed repeatedly at the number of people who just didn't get it. I have the thread saved as a "Master Class in Trolling."

I'm sorry, but out of all the crazy things Rush has said this week alone, this is what they went with. Sorry, but the case isn't here. His whole "The Democrats want us to lose in Iraq" has been a mainstay of his show for years.

It is nothing new. Its just playing to the far right wackos.

It would not surprise me at all if some person inspired by Rush Limbaugh's antics--whether direct or indirect--makes some sort of "revolutionary' move.

To paraphrase Mr. Limbaugh, "I hope he fails. What is unfair about my saying I hope Limbaugh fails? Limbaugh is our problem. Limbaugh is what's gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here."

I am not sure why, he doesn't seem to share many of its values.

I tried to follow the author's line of reasoning, and I couldn't see it. I mean, it is incredible douchebaggery to say that many of us hope for a coup that removes Obama, but I don't see the military connection.

I think this guy is applying too much coherence to Limbaugh. The guy just looks for any chance and takes a shot.

Obama has been President for 6 months.

Before he became President, conservatives mocked him as having no experience.

After all, he was just a community organizer. Thats not a real job!

Now, of course, he is responsible (along with Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank) for making America a Muslim socialist country, inviting terrorism, and killing Michael Jackson.
