Is Rush's call for inciting riots at the DNC part of an upcoming fascist takeover?
It does seem to be part of the infamous recipe for taking a free state and making it fascist.

Rush's words yesterday seem to be a variation of this ploy.

Evil wannabe dictator gets an army of thugs.

Thugs go out and cause chaos - burning buildings, beating the hell out of people, killing them, destroying wantonly.

Evil wannabe dictator proclaims "If you give me Unlimited Power(TM), I will bring back law and order, make it safe to walk the streets!"

Populace, freaked out by wave of violence, doesn't say anything, evil wannabe dictator takes that as consent.

Evil wannabe dictator becomes evil dictator.

I know, you're gonna stick that tinfoil hat on me, but this thing from Rush is raising big red flags with me.

3. One other thing this reminds me of is the violence in Rwanda.
They also have radio talk shows, and they also advocated violence on the air, and you know what, the listeners did what the radio thugs told them... :scared:

8. Heh, true

Want to divert a Republican insurgency? Hold a gun show with a Toby Keith concert at the end. We should have one of those at the ready at all times.

If Limbaugh were someone significant and not a self-inflated balloon of gas and oxycontin.
