Rush Limbaugh: Murderer


It’s my sad duty today to announce that Rush Limbaugh has been arrested for murder.

Earlier today he gunned down Arkansas Democrat Party Chairman Bill Gwantney in a tragic shooting.

Well, Rush did not do it actually, but that has not stopped the left from blaming him. There was a tragedy in Arkansas today. Bill Gwantney, a former state senator and the current DPA Chair was murdered. The Kos Kidz immediately set about blaming Rush Limbaugh for the tragedy.

Typical of the comments is this one:

Limbaugh, et al RW hatemongers may have pulled the triggers.

Let them call off the dogs of civil war they have motivated.

Ask Limbaugh, et al if this is what they have been agitating for all along. Have they been encouraging their minions to Kill Democrats?

Sounds like from here. & it sounds like they finally got the results they’ve been calling for.

Let them deny it now.

There is also this one:

I’d bet money that the shooter was a ditto-head

The guardians of free speech don’t seem to like it all that much. Knowing nothing about the tragedy, they’ve leapt to the conclusion that the murderer was controlled by Rush Limbaugh. While he is that powerful, Rush only uses his powers for good.

By the way, an APB has been put out on Sean Hannity and Michelle Malkin who have also been implicated in the murder.

Sometimes there are awful tragedies in the world and sometimes those tragedies do not have political points in them. The “reality based community” should recognize that. Our prayers go out to the Gwantney family on this sad occasion and also to the “reality based community” that sometimes should know better.

I’d have understood if they blamed the NRA (I wouldn’t agree, but I’d at least see the leap in the logic), but I don’t understand the murderer == Limbaugh fan.

Do the Kos posters seriously think that every (well, most) Republican is a psychopath?

This too shall pass.

Expect more of the same, unfortunately
Between now and Nov,every nutcase white guy in the grand ol party who’s lost his job, or his house, or cant afford to put gas in his car, or just cant get it up anymore will be on fire from Red Eye Rush Limbaugh and FOX et al that somehow its all the fault of the Liberal Left and Obama. And its his sacred duty to save the country, and his shitkicker honor, by strikin a blow fer Jezus.
-by DrTerwilliker

the right wingers at my husband”s work
have recently looked at him like they wanted to kill him. Seriously. They are the ones that listen to Rush and such. They blame the Democrats for the high gas prices. I guess uncle Rushie told them so.

This was the same attitude they had after the Iraq war broke out.

I worry for my husband’s safety.

That second one, by the way, has the following as his or her signature line:
You can’t choose sides on a round planet.

At kos, that means not choosing if you are with Russia or America. Taking sides against Republicans, well obviously that’s just dandy.

They seriously think that Republicans/the Right are guilty of everything, up to and including carnal knowledge of farm animals.

Why is it that Dem Party officials are

accosted, harmed, robbed, or slandered by RW influenced whacko fringe.

When high-level Democrat party members are the victim; jealous husbands, impregnated mistresses, derogatory journalism, the truth, ex-wives, arresting officers, rape victims, judges, and plaintiffs are quite naturally VRWC.

I call on the authorities...

FrankLucia (Diary) Wednesday, August 13th at 5:44PM EST (link)

to immediately arrest Rush Limbaugh, and shut down this website (RedState) — though let’s face it, this “change” crippled the site on its own.

All talk radio and Fox News must be shut down, and their participants incarcerated. We must squelch these dissidents at once. These are war criminals.

That's an easy one:

randy streu (Diary) Wednesday, August 13th at 5:51PM EST (link)

Because when you have these idiots beaten on the intellectual level, all they have left are baseless accusations or manufactured charges of moral corruption.

Plus, they hate it that the greater majority of criminals in this country have a Dem-generated (or at the very least, Dem-condoned) sense of entitlement that is directly responsible for their crimes.

 
 

I some some speculation

blooch Wednesday, August 13th at 5:58PM EST (link)

that it was a disgruntled former employee, which, if true, would mean that a VWRC mole had been caught and fired, I guess.

Reaper0Bot0 (formerly Han_Pritcher) (Diary) Wednesday, August 13th at 6:02PM EST (link)

I reject the lunacy of those who would ascribe such motives whilst lacking any sort of evidence to support such speculation. I wish that those would would speculate so wouldn’t.

The world’s full of idiots, and some post at Kos. As someone who has done so from time to time (yet assuredly is not one quoted above or in any way likeminded on this issue) I’m sorry it happened. It shouldn’t have, and it speaks poorly of those who would suggest it.

My thoughts and prayers go out to this man’s family and friends.

 

So...

..if a Republican leader is gunned down, is it Rush’s fault too?

 

Rush was acquitted of OKC bombing

Mike gamecock DeVine (Diary) Wednesday, August 13th at 6:24PM EST (link)

after Bill Clinton accused him of same from 10,000 feet on Air Force One.

I expect the same here.

He has been convicted of being almost always right 98.7% of the time; ushering in the GOP takeover of the House in 1994 and being the successor to Reagan in leading the conservative movement.

Hey Frank instead of bitchin about RS 3 being crippled why don't you go back over to your diary where you say "all but confirmed" and put in some links to sources maybe provide some commentary....

Attack Mode (Diary) Wednesday, August 13th at 6:26PM EST (link)

you know the things you were supposed to do in the first place before you posted it. So far today you have treated RS like a gossip magazine in your diary and now you our claiming it to be crippled in some weak attempt at humor.

Now I am very upset because I have held back many times from posting diaries because of my respect for the site. I have a an infant child and don’t have a whole lot of time to finish blogs and I often get zoomed and trash my blog and just get it out in the comments. There is an open thread right now that you could have posted your “all but confirmed” but no source link diary in instead of just calling it in.

Piss poor.

Some of the mud stuck, which influenced subsequent events.

 

Rush will continue to broadcast even inside the prison cell.

Then, let them arrest Rush. They can’t stop Rush from making the hell for the Democrats. They will just make Rush a hero then.

Not that there's anything wrong with that (nt)

Rush is right, that alone would be enough to enrage the leftys.

Rush is hated because he is rich and successful and repected, yet isn’t ashamed of it. Nor should he be.

Based on the promos,

my guess is that Rush becomes “The Worst Person in the World” today.

Another feather in his cap, if so.

How did KO get to be so smart, anyway?

Interesting thing about KO.

Flagstaff (Diary) Wednesday, August 13th at 7:50PM EST (link)

I don’t believe I’ve ever heard any of the righty guys mention his name (maybe O’Reilly has, not sure). That seems logical. Why would a lion mention a mosquito?

To the contrary, about half of each of the three KO shows I’ve seen have been passed criticizing righty radio commentators.

These fools don't listen to Limbaugh's show.

Mark Kilmer (Diary) Wednesday, August 13th at 7:51PM EST (link)

Granted, they probably couldn’t, as he’d make them wet themselves, but they don’t know what happens during one of Rush’s shows, what he says, how his listeners react.

They are told Limbaugh is bad, and their imaginations fill in the blanks.

They are told Obama is great, and their imaginations fill in the blanks.

They understand neither Rush Limbaugh nor Barack Obama; the difference being that Rush refutes their imaginings about him just by doing his sthing, while Barack gives them room to add more fanciful meanderings concerning what they want to believe he is. He does this by continuing to be nothing but an Axelrod cartoon.

Whoops. Apparently Rush has won

Flagstaff (Diary) Wednesday, August 13th at 7:59PM EST (link)

the award so many times that he has been banned from the competition.

Low Class...

liberalrepublican (Diary) Thursday, August 14th at 12:11AM EST (link)

Taking a tragedy like this and trying to make a political point is low class.

I’m not surprised to see it on Kos, but I am disappointed to see it here.

My thoughts and condolences go to the family and friends of the deceased.

“Broadly speaking, liberalism emphasizes individual rights and equality of opportunity. … including extensive freedom of thought and speech, limitations on the power of governments, the rule of law, the free exchange of ideas, a market or mixed economy”

The sarcasm did not go to Gwantney.

Rod_Patrick (Diary) Thursday, August 14th at 5:17AM EST (link)

Erick made it clear in his last para. On a higher ground, Erick is warning people from the MSM and political spinners to honor Gwantney’s death by focusing on the murder itself, i.e., help solve the case and not use the same for political points… which is same as yours, in fact. Here:

Sometimes there are awful tragedies in the world and sometimes those tragedies do not have political points in them. The “reality based community” should recognize that.

Mentioning Limbaugh has further emphasized Erick’s point.

The diary has no intention of dishonoring the death of any person. For one, Erick did not make an enumeration of conservatives’ case against Gwantney. Why would he? Instead, he honored Gwantney’s death by giving his prayers to the family. Here:

Our prayers go out to the Gwantney family on this sad occasion …

So, no issue there.

I, for one, also give my utmost condolences to the family and friends left by Gwantney.

Got this from an AP article

bk (Diary) Thursday, August 14th at 7:06AM EST (link)

Because of his position in the state party, Gwatney was a superdelegate to the Democratic National Convention this month in Denver. He declared his support for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton after the Arkansas primary in February but endorsed Barack Obama after Clinton dropped out of the presidential race.

It wouldn’t be the first time someone in Arkansas who crossed a Clinton ended up at room temperature.

And shouldn’t the left also be concerned that the psycho was shot by police and died? Sure, maybe he was shooting at them at the time, but couldn’t a little diplomacy (like Obama wants us to practice with Russia, Iran, Al Qaeda, North Korea, etc.) have been used instead of gunning the guy down? Or is that okay since the killer was a white guy?

 
 
 

Bill Gwatney was a good man.

My first college boyfriend worked for Bill at First National Bank in Jacksonville. I routinely caught his nephews when they jumped off the diving board at the country club where I lifeguarded every summer during college.
This is just so shocking. My heart goes out to his family and the community he served.
What a senseless tragedy.
