Limbaugh urging listeners to "crash" Capitol telecomm system. Domestic Terrorism?




Both yesterday and today Limbaugh has repeatedly urged his Shittoheads to call their reps in DC {Link}
He has urged them to make several calls and made the demand several times during each hour of the program.
His stated goal is to "crash" and "burn up" (his words) the Capitol phone system. Apparently his plan is
having a level of success. He says people in DC tell him they are having problems completing calls both
incoming and outgoing. One would have to wonder what the consequences would be if there were a legitimate
emergency like a visiting tourist having a sudden seizure or cardiac arrest and emergency assistance
could not be summoned because calls for help could not be completed. I do recall other instances where
radio hosts would pull a hoax that would generate an overflow of calls to businesses or governmental
agencies, so there is a precedent for authorities to act on if they really wanted to. So if his stated
goal is to "crash" or "burn up" the Capitol telecomm system why should he not be held accountable?

2. He's a fool.

His claim is based upon fiction. The polls are 50-50. If the system crashes it will be due to both sides calling in either as opposition or support. He's too stupid to grasp the fact that just as many will call in opposing his foolishness, but he probably thinks he'll get the credit. I don't think so.

4. Vainglorious Yes...Terrorism, No
There have been many times Democrats have urged their supporters to do the same thing. Last fall many of us were on the phones and urging others to do the same to make sure the Congressional version of Health Care had the Public Option. I think that effort helped make it happen.

If Rushbo wants his great unhinged to do the same, so be it...that's how a representative democracy should work. No one is getting physically harmed or even threatened with such. It's called lobbying and all can and should play the game.

5. IMO it is an act of domestic terrorism! These guys, Limbaugh, Beck and the bunch
do very little to help this nation than to stir discontentment for their and their keepers profit IMO! It has little to do with making this a better country. Limbaugh will tell you to your face his goal is simply to make a lot of money, and there are more than enough damn fools in this country to help him in his goal, and the future of this country gets raked over the edge in the process. Seldom, if ever, do I ever hear anything intelligent ramble out of the mouths of these guys.

9. of course he wants to crash it. That way they can STOP dems from calling
so nobody sees how few Limbots there are vs how MANY Dems. They can't win without cheating. Period.
