Right-wing death threats rise: Republicans should condemn Rush Limbaugh

[Joanne98]

Rush Limbaugh is now using his radio show to promote hatred and rage with language that could well incite physical violence from some of his listeners.

Meanwhile, death threats are rising against Democratic public officials. Abusive calls and threats are made against the homes of prominent Democrats. Extremists call on supporters to bring guns to Washington.

Enough is enough.

One House Republican leader referred to a Democratic member and said he can't go home; he's a "dead man." House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) did not mean a physical threat with this comment, but it demonstrated extremely bad judgment and further inflames very dangerous tendencies within certain extreme circles.

Republican leaders in Congress and potential Republican presidential candidates should publicly condemn Limbaugh's language and publicly call on him to cease and desist from using any incendiary language that could incite violence. They should condemn all incendiary language from anyone in right-wing media or politics.

4. Nobody's being arrested....they're barely being investigated

So why should they stop. I shudder to think that they won't take this seriously until a body shows up.
