"All of this has been pure politics-disguised as compassion & concern for a congresswoman"

..............

"The media is unnecessarily stirring up the country in ways that don't merit," Limbaugh said on his radio program Monday. "It's fatuous and silly to even verify and justify these accusations by defending them. The premise is insane, it's silly, it's beneath these people. Or is it? It is who they are."

1. Of course it's politics. The shooting happened at a political event.
Come on, you can do better than that.

3. It's important to remember who the actual victims are, here.
i.e. Rush and his cadre of shit-spewing rectums.

4. ^LOL^ According to Drudge the sludge, Limbaugh is a victim.

But I agree with the Sheriff Dupnik of Pima County:

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/arizona-sheriff-blasts-rush-limbaugh-spewing-irresponsible-vitriol/story?id=12583285

""The kind of rhetoric that flows from people like Rush Limbaugh, in my judgment he is irresponsible, uses partial information, sometimes wrong information," Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said today. " attacks people, angers them against government, angers them against elected officials and that kind of behavior in my opinion is not without consequences."

Limbaugh today railed against the media and Dupnik for trying to draw a link between the heated political climate and the shooting rampage, calling the sheriff a "fool." But Dupnik stood by his assertions.

"The vitriol affects the personality that we are talking about," he said. "You can say, 'Oh no, it doesn't,' but my opinion is that it does." "


Add in Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Hannity and O'Reilly. I've LISTENED to their shows. I have been repelled by the constant stream of vitriolic hatred directed towards elected representatives. There are times when my close pals and I have been listening to their shows and my friend Vince -not a liberal- would joke and say 'go on Rush (or Mark),. Just say it, ya know ya want to: 'grab your rifle and shoot *****' (or whatever politician the clown was seething about.)
