The SAME Limbaugh who smeared Hoffa with doctored audio : "REAL Texans are putting on their camoufla



Referring to those of us doing our civic duty protesting the illegal war in the roads and ditches outside Crawford, Texas in August, 2005 (where Cindy Sheehan was attempting to speak with President Bush), Rush Limbaugh had this to say:




"How many of you could take a week or two off or whatever and hang around a ditch? I mean, where do these people work? First question I always ask: What do they do for a living? Where do they get their money? Donations, folks, donations. They're glad handlers, they're glorified beggars, they're down there raising money during all of this. At one point I saw today Sheehan's website is getting 25 grand a day. Now you got a bunch of caterers down there and Joan Baez is down there strumming out the tunes, but the Washington politicians are not joining them down there, and this is upsetting....

"The Texans are very patient people, but the real Texans are not the people in that ditch down there. REAL TEXANS are PUTTING ON THEIR CAMOUFLAGE GEAR and getting ready to go out there and GO HUNTING. you know, hunting season is coming up. At some point REAL TEXANS ARE GOING TO GET FED UP WITH WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN THERE and it's going to be REAL FUN TO WATCH, IF YOU GET MY DRIFT, ...a-hem..."





- - - Rush Limbaugh, August 22, 2005, discussing the Camp Casey antiwar demonstrators in the roads & ditches at Camp Casey outside Crawford, Texas, "real Texans", and "hunting season"








But in the aftermath of Rep. Giffords attempted assassination (following years of intentional, blatant right wing hate-mongering, which created a climate in which Gifford's 2010 Republican opponent sunk to the level to hold a campaign event to “Shoot a Fully Automatic M16″ to “Get on Target” and “Remove Gabrielle Giffords”, Rush had the chutzpah to claim:



"At no time has anybody ever called for violence...We've never subtly promoted it."

- - Rush Limbaugh, January 10, 2011











The right wing is so accustomed to never being called on their lies, getting pass after pass from the corporate media, that Limbaugh now plays a doctored Fox "News" clip in which Hoffa's words,

"And president Obama we want one thing: jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. That what we're going to tell him. He's going to be - and when he sees what we're doing here he will be inspired. But he needs help and you know what? Everybody here's got to vote.If we go back and we keep the eye on the prize,"

were EDITED OUT, leaving this fraudulently deceptive sound bite, which never existed in history:

"...President Obama this is your army. We are ready to march. Let's take these son of a bitches out and give America back to America where we belong!"


After playing the fraudulently doctored tape, Limbaugh announces, "That's a call for violence, folks."










Sure, Rush, as you say, the right wing has not ever, "ever called for violence...We've never subtly promoted it."

:sarcasm:

. . . . Just as Fox is "Fair and Balanced".



. . . . And the corporate media will call you on your lies.



. . . . And all is for the best, in this best of all possible worlds.














:kick:




(Here are some undoctored contributions to "civil discourse" by some of Rush's friends.
(We promise, Rush, these guns and crosshairs were NOT photoshopped in over a plea to go to the polls. What you have sown, you now reap.)

4. Ironically, Palin is showing she doesn't know shit about guns in that photo.
Edited on Thu Sep-08-11 01:08 PM by TheWraith
1. Her finger is inside the trigger guard.
2. The stock is not properly lined up against her shoulder.
3. She isn't properly sighting the weapon.

And yes, it's not a "real" gun, it's an Army training simulator. Doesn't matter--it should be automatic and instinctive, if she had properly handled weapons very much.

6. Go ahead, Sara--Make My Day!
Shoot an unarmed 73-year-old Liberal Lady right between the eyes. Come on, I'm waitin' for ya. Give it your best shot. Hard time in our state pen will be fun, you betcha! Maybe you can do a reality show from there. Call it "Still Undefeated". My family's civil suit will be a real kick, too. Finally, I'll have an inheritance to leave my kids!

Oh, and by the way--as Al Franken once said, "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot". Not to mention a Big Fat Liar. He really should share a cell with Sara for inciting violence. I'll have my family include him in the suit. Meanwhile...I do wish he would STFU!

End of rant. Hope I haven't said anything that will get this deleted, but my tired old cynical body has had it with these evil, evil people. Sorry I have to share the planet with them!

Tired Old Cynic

11. People who wave weapons about whilst engaging in braggadocio are nitwits.
Their behavior betrays them for what they are.

No "real" hunter who takes game for food would ever behave in such an idiotic fashion.

13. To call that Rush a fat stinking sack of bullshit would be an insult to good fertilizer. To call

him a scum sucking bottom feeder would be an insult to oysters and mussels.

30. Well, YEAH. The real nuts are practicing their combat training as if they were in the military.
This is no idle threat. Some of these people are insanely aggressive and WANT to kill anyone who disagrees with them and especially LIBERALS.

We all have a right to own firearms. I suggest owning them and learning how to be proficient with them.

REC.

15. Hey, I was out there in that ditch, including on the Saturday it started.
And guess what: it worked! The odds were against it -- the first day, the only onlookers were law enforcement and a very few landowners. But within weeks, it was massive. And it was the start of Dubya's come down. And when we left on the last weekend, we drove through some rain being pushed ahead of Katrina -- which put the coda on Dubya's come down.

Took us 2 1/2 days from SoCal but we did it; camped out; managed to avoid the fire ants and met some wonderful people. The organized chaos impressed the hell out of me.

18. I frequent rifle ranges let me tell a story from a year ago.........
Seems a shooter brought Pelosi target. The range master was quick he took it down and the shooter left quickly after a short conversation. The ragemaster told later there was not a rule against humanoid targets. He told him to leave before someone took offense to his target.

22. He's never worked a day in his life
He's become wealthy by being the chief errand boy for the extremely rich and powerful. A broken moral compass, no sense of shame and a complete lack of self respect have served him well when it comes to making money. But the toll it has taken.... if I had to stoop that low every day I guess I might need mass quantities of Oxycontin to look at myself in the morror every day too. He is a pitiful, pathetic little man. A bootlicker for his masters.

that ever occurred was when a right winger went through with his truck and mowed down a lot of flags.
