If this were even remotely true, isn't it totally irresponsible for Limbaugh to hold a lighter out to people standing in a tinderbox i.e. fans the flame of hate in America? The man has done nothing but spew hatred and divisiveness for 20 years. He should be happy if America goes up in flames in part because of his never ending drum beat of hate. In fact, I think he would be.

Seems Rush is one of the sane people left in this country, especially when compared to the libs posting here. I'll take Rush over the hate-filled left any day of the week, thank you. [MOD CUT]

Ah, yes, "hatred and divisivness." Anything that runs counter to and challenges the liberal mindset is hatred, divisivness and racist.

Default Limbaugh compares London rioters to Obama voters and claims Obama wouldn't mind riots in the USA

Nothing new or different here...

Limbaugh oinks out irrational hatred and his audience eats it up with a spoon.

can you argue with him?

And is it any worse than Hobo Joe calling Tea partiers "terrorists"?

Can you please list all riots in the US that can be directly tied to right wing talk or thought?
Thus I used the words "if this were even remotely true"---meaning what Rush was saying about the Left being ready to riot in the streets like they are in London. He uses everything he can to demean the Left, even if he has to make stuff up.

By the bucketful, as they line up at the trough.
Rush caters to the anti-intellectual closed minds.

So telling his listeners that the Left would riot in the streets and burn down cities if Obama lost the next election is an intelligent challenge to liberal ideas of governing a society? How can you deny that statement is unfounded and divisive and based on hatred? He's talking raw emotion whipping here.

Exactly. He has been doing that since 1988 and before. A man of incredible insight and understanding.

Those who try chicken-poop attacks about his past health-issue and the resulting drug dependency or pathetic in the extreme (at best).
