Poll question: Is this terrorism or not?
Rush Limbaugh Calling For Riots In Denver

DENVER -- Talk show host Rush Limbaugh is sparking controversy again after he made comments calling for riots in Denver during the Democratic National Convention this summer.

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.

2. It's terrorism and he should be bounced off the air.

They knock people off for insults, I think incitement to riot is a bit worse.

3. I'm sure there is a law against inciting to riot
If so, he has ALREADY broken it, because the act of "inciting" has already taken place, whether or not there actually is a riot.

WORDS HAVE CONSEQUENCES, and he should be held accountable.

8. At the very least it's inciting a riot
From Lawyers.com:

"Inciting a riot applies to a person who organizes, encourages, or participates in a riot. It can apply to one who urges or instigates others to riot. It does not apply to someone who merely advocates ideas or expresses beliefs, if those ideas and beliefs do not involve advocating violence.

"The federal crime of inciting a riot carries a possible penalty of up to five years in prison a fine."
