Rush Limbaugh Says 'Terrorists Come Straight From The Democrat Party'

Rush Limbaugh Says ‘Terrorists Come Straight From The Democrat Party’
“The left is encouraging this kind of activity. They are promoting it. And they celebrate it,” the conservative radio host said.
By Ron Dicker 1/07/2017 09:17 am ET

Conservative host Rush Limbaugh accused the Democratic Party of producing “terrorists” on Monday.

“Terrorists do not always just come from Uzbekistan,” he said on his radio show, presumably referring to the native country of the man who killed eight people in a truck attack in New York City last week. “They don’t just come from Afghanistan. They don’t just come from al Qaeda. Sometimes, terrorists come straight from the Democrat Party, straight from the American left.”

The conservative host introduced his point by lumping together several recent events, including an alleged assault on Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) by his neighbor, the Texas church shooting on Sunday that left 26 dead, the New York truck attack (Limbaugh called it a shooting) and reported threats against Environmental Protection Agency head Scott Pruitt.

He added: “It is more than obvious that the left is encouraging their followers to be vile, aggressive, abusive and dangerous. There’s no question about it. The left is encouraging this kind of activity. They are promoting it. And they celebrate it.”

This is the kind of outrageous lies the right wing are allowed to spew out 24/7 in this country. They have been allowed to do this for 30 years or so and now we see the results.

An imbecile sexual assaulter/pervert squats in the white house planning WW3 nuclear armageddon and every other day there's a mass killing with military assault weapons that the republicans and their gun lobby bosses make possible and they blame US!

They tell him what they believe and all he does is try to satisfy their confirmation bias.

To kill us or see us behind bars. That's how strong their hatred is. It's going to get very scary in the next few years. Trump has emboldened the absolute worst of us, and when young people are Hitler loving Nazis who hold tiki torch parades and beat the shit out of people claiming their views aren't represented, something is very wrong, and it needs to be corrected.

that democrats are terrorists.

Hitler and his nazi party demonized Jews and we all know what that lead to.

Trump and republicans like Limbaugh want the same thing to happen to democrats and liberals of any kind.

They are resorting to this because they have no excuse for how shitty things are going with their GOP takeover and the toxic
nasty legislation that keeps failing.

It would have failed as an enterprise. Instead is has flourished because there is an element of the population that is eager to be told that there is somebody out there that wants to take what's "theirs", this justifies their hate and paranoia. This is the essence of the message.

I gathered that he suspects that these killers could be linked to day care, or in other words - feminists who work instead of staying home and raising their children.
