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

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.

It is repellant enough, and highly damaging to Republicans, for their supporters

WILL THEY NOW?

1. They won't... they like this shit and want it to continue

2. Thank you for finding that

We have been saying that every since Obama was elected and Limbaugh started ramping up the rhetoric.

That sooner or later a deranged "patriot" was going to take Limbaugh et al at their word and do something about it.

7. Of course,Joe asshole..

will start off with how sorry he is and how the vitriol on both sides has to stop while he names mainly Dems as the cause and of course Barnicle will chime in on what the President needs to do and how it is his fault in some way because he couldn't stop them from calling him a terrorist,socialist,muslim who is unamerican...

Then they all will chime in on what the prescription should be because this table full of white men are the voice of America. They may throw in Harold Ford for good measure with his fake ass..

8. Al Sharpton is lobbying the FCC to get Limbaugh kicked off the airwaves.

I hope he gets a major movement started against Limbbaugh that results in him getting the boot.
