The Observation Deck

National Convention later this year in Denver:


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…

…Limbaugh said with massive riots in Denver, which he called “Operation Chaos,” the people on the far left would look bad.

“We do, hopefully, the right thing for the sake of this country. We’re the only one in charge of our affairs. We don’t farm out our defense if we elect Democrats … and riots in Denver, at the Democratic Convention will see to it we don’t elect Democrats. And that’s the best damn thing that can happen to this country, as far as I can think,” Limbaugh said…

Isn't inciting riots a crime?

Most of my republican friends are rednecks... accept for Ryan..

Tracy, just curious, did you actually listen to the broadcast on Wednesday? Or are you just going off of what you heard that he said?

I listen to Rush almost every day, and I remember the show, and what comes immediatly to mind is that most of the reports seem to have missed the fact that the entire thing was born out of the comments of Al Sharpton who essentially suggested that this scenario was a possiblity. I also don't seem to see people point out that most of the segment was done sarcastically.

I'm not defending what Rush says, I'm just saying that I think the reports about his show are just as slanted as his show itself.

The original quote of Sharpton was when Sharpton was a guest on Bill O'Reilly's The O'Reilly Factor TV show. O'Reilly asked him what would happen if the superdelegates picked Clinton in a backroom deal, overturning Obama's leads in delegates and the popular vote:

Sharpton: Well, you not only would see people like me demonstrating, you may see us talking about whether or not we can support that ticket.

Rush: OK, what does demonstrating mean? The Reverend Sharpton is the one who put this notion out there.

And during the same show:

Rush: Call Al Sharpton, Lisa. He's the one that established the whole concept of trouble brewing in Denver if he didn't get his way.

Sharpton actually never used the word "riot" or said there would be "trouble in Denver." That was Rush paraphrasing him.

Rush, rioting in Denver: http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/ ... guest.html


Rush: Now, I am not inspiring or inciting riots. I'm dreaming. (Singing to the tune of White Christmas) "I'm dreaming of riots in Denver."...But the fact is that the Democrat Party has members in it that have already said, "There will be riots," or something to that effect. Al Sharpton.

Doesn't Rush have some roofies and a trip to Thailand booked during the convention this summer?
