Rush Limbaugh’s Dictionary
“Fraternity Prank”:
“On the August 4 edition of the nationally syndicated Rush Limbaugh Show, Limbaugh said that England and the other accused soldiers were engaging in acts that were ’sort of like hazing, a fraternity prank. Sort of like that kind of fun.’” — MediaMatters (8/4/04)
“Fomenting Violence”:
“[W]ho is it that is responsible for fomenting harm against others? Who is it that cannot tolerate hearing things they disagree with, and who is it that reports to heckling and throwing salad dressing or ice cream pies on conservative Republican speakers? It’s the left, my dear. It is the left, my good friends, that is out there fomenting violence.” — Rush Limbaugh (4/1/05)

April 7th, 2005 at 11:30 amRush Limbaugh is a twisted, curmudgeonly little bubbleass.
April 4th, 2005 at 5:13 pmIts the pills that make him that way… really… it is…
He should switch to prescription sleeping pills, copious amounts of them… maybe chased with whiskey.
April 4th, 2005 at 5:31 pmNo, Rush is a twisted, curmudgeonly big fat bubbleass.
April 4th, 2005 at 5:32 pmI agree that Limbaugh’s comments in both cases, as is his wont, blantantly distort the events.
But the first is an international incident; the second, a domestic one. The first, governed–or should have been–by the Geneva conventions. The second, by US law.
As a proud card-carrying member of the ACLU, though speaking only for myself, I find the pie-throwing amusing but not acceptable.
I would add, however, that in terms of violence it pales in comparision to some the remarks made by Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, and even Rush himself.
It would have been nice, by way of comparison, to have had some examples of their ludicrous rhetoric. To start, their persisent hate speech against their fellow American citizens–and unwarranted and at times even completely falsified personal attacks.
Rush denouncing Donna Shalala, Clinton’s Secretary of Health, as dyke, for example. Or his general condemation of any woman he disagrees with or is intimidated by as a “femi-nazi.” Or, etc.
& as for Coutler & Savage, why even get started? Choose any paragraph at random, and you’re almost certain to find something.
Unfortunately, pranks like the above play into Rush’s hands.
But after X years of hearing yourself described in hateful and unfair terms, I’m not surprised people are acting out in still playful but potentially threatening ways.
April 4th, 2005 at 5:37 pmEff Rush. He’s a boor who enjoys twisting things as much as he can to his own side. Effing jerk.
April 4th, 2005 at 5:52 pmWho is it that cannot tolerate hearing things they disagree with, and who is it that reports to heckling and throwing salad dressing or ice cream pies on conservative Republican speakers? It’s the left, my dear. It is the left, my good friends, that is out there fomenting violence.� – Rush Limbaugh
——
Okay Rush… Who is it that tries to take out contracts on federal judges and husbands of women in consistant vegitative states because they don’t like the rules? Who kills doctors that run abortion clinics? Those damn radical ‘Lefties’.
I don’t think anyone ever died from being hit by a pie… but ya know, when you preach hate… and some gay guy gets his head bashed in while walking his dog… you don’t see a correlation?
ugg… right-wing boneheads.
April 4th, 2005 at 5:55 pmThank God Rush wasn’t in the audience when any of these people were hit with food. He would have thought it was an all u can eat buffet and devoured the poor people…..
April 4th, 2005 at 5:59 pmIf he want violence, give it to him.
April 4th, 2005 at 6:37 pmTorture = fraternity prank, salad dressing = violence…..and while we’re at it, 2+2=3. Thank you, Rush, for a lesson in thinking like a spoiled 5 year old brat.
April 4th, 2005 at 6:51 pmHe’s a twisted etc etc whatever-size HAIRY bubbleass – remember his 4F pilonidal cyst deferment for ‘Nam? Pilonidal cyst is a hair-filled cyst in the asscrack, for those not in the know.
April 4th, 2005 at 7:04 pmYeah, I know, so what else is new.
April 4th, 2005 at 8:01 pmIt’s the drugs talking.
April 4th, 2005 at 8:09 pmlets see Randall Terry and his operation rescue fanatics, Timothy Mcveigh, Randy “Ruby Ridge ” Weaver, Eric “Atlanta-Birmingham bomber” Rudolph, Branch Davidians, Jim Jones, Sept 11th terriosts— yes these are all radical people who have caused mayhem and violence-Funny thing Rush-these are all right wing zeolots-not left wing liberals!!!
April 4th, 2005 at 10:57 pmNow take some lumps with the pie you will get sum day!!
I want to know more. Is it proven for sure that the dressing-throwers are genuinely from our side, or are they perhaps provocateurs. Convenient that they targeted Buchanan, who, while a borderline neonazi, has actually been a pretty strong critic of Bush. How convenient for the bushites to punish an apostate while discrediting us.
April 5th, 2005 at 1:21 pmHey–What can you expect from a hypocritical drug addict! (But then, I’d self medicate too if I knew my nose was going to be buried all day everyday in my corporate paymaster’s asssstonishingly effective propaganda machine.)
April 5th, 2005 at 7:04 pmIt’s Rush’s job within the Theocon’s Hiearchy to say these things. Obviously, he knows there crap, but gets paid well for doing it.
April 5th, 2005 at 8:10 pmPie-Throwing is very naughty. Pie-throwing is a prank. Pie-throwing is not torture.
April 5th, 2005 at 8:36 pmHey Limbaugh! Maybe you should fill your pie-hole with some really cool dope like amyl nitrate, a little ether on the side, and a liter of Chivas. Then, you could share some with Clarence Thomas, and both of you could drive to his whorehouse motel in Nevada. Watch out for those damn sheep in the road though!
April 5th, 2005 at 10:20 pmThis blog post indirectly ties the left to captured iraqis – right supporting violence against iraqis, left supporting violence against the right. I think that this is something where we should be taking an extra effort to make a clear distinction (these wingnuts like to call us the party of terrorists, etc.) not encouraging the comparison.
No big deal, just a thought.
April 6th, 2005 at 1:09 amThree words for Rush: Right-Wing Militias
I guess he missed the story that came out during the Iraq war about WMDs found, in Texas, in a storage facility rented by a right-wing militia type. They had enough to take out several thousand people . . . Americans . . .
A pie war sounds like a great alternative to the death and destruction these guys unleash on America and the world.
April 6th, 2005 at 10:30 amBe careful. Yeah, well throwing a little salad dressing is no big deal. The Dems bellying up to the “center” bar to do business with the credit card companies is a big deal. What I am trying to say is that we are so frustrated with both sides that one could expect a little salad dressing toss. Being careful is what got the dems permanently blended with the repugs that one cannot tell the difference between the parties. Let the dressing tosses begin and long live Blue Cheese!

April 6th, 2005 at 6:05 pmThe Twisted View of Rush Limbaugh (The Drug Kingpin)

Rush Limbaugh, someone who loves a good paddle across the behind, called those actions a simple “Fraternity P…
April 7th, 2005 at 7:49 amRush Limbaugh is a vile human being….
April 7th, 2005 at 10:21 amRush is vile and a huge big stinky as well
April 8th, 2005 at 5:03 pmMy profession is to seek and destroy big stinkies. Rush is number One on my Big Stinky list. FBI number one stinky: Rush. HO HO. Where is my cleaning spray….. Cleaning spray as in chlorine and so forthings.
April 9th, 2005 at 5:37 pmHGH is a very common product nowaday. HGH spray is very effective in anti-aging treatment.
July 19th, 2005 at 8:21 pmRemember when he called a 13 year old Chelsea Clinton in braces “The White House Dog”?
The guy is disgusting. He didn’t like a man’s politics, so he publically humiliated his teen age daughter.
