Rush Limbaugh advocates the overthrow of a democratically elected government. Again

posted by Robrob

When does a political joke become sedition? Rush Limbaugh is calling for a military coup, and the joke, if it is a joke, is not funny. Rush, speaking about President Obama's upcoming speech at West Point, expressed hope that military officials at the Academy would "detain" President Obama. Regardless of one's politics, to suggest that military officials at the United States Military Academy detain the President of the United States is to suggest a military coup. Such a suggestion is sedition. Limbaugh is advocating military insurrection. http://www.examiner.com/x-4 383-Portland-Progressive-Ex aminer~y2009m11d26-Politics -or-sedition-Rush-Limbaugh- calls-for-military-coup

Why is it the Rnuts only believe in democracy when their guy is in the White House? This is of course the second time Limbaugh has advocated overthrow of the democratically elected President. In June, speaking of the Honduran coup Rush had this to say: "The coup was what many of you wish would happen here, without the military"; and, "If we had any good luck, Honduras would send some people here and help us get our government back". Add this to the RWnuts' recent penchant for thinly veiled death threats against the President. http://www.huffingtonpost.c om/2009/11/18/rachel-maddow -frank-schae_n_362415.html As well as literal threats of mass murder. http://www.huffingtonpost.c om/2009/11/17/tea-party-pro ponent-threa_n_360913.html Why is armed revolution and violence their only answer to being voted out of office? Why does the Right hate America?

Oh Fucking Puhleeze!!! (none / 1)
You Liberals made MOVIES about assasinating Bush! You openly still pray for his death and demise!!! Can we say "double standard" here??? How about "Hypocrites?" Is that a word we can volley around this discussion?

We liberals? (none / 1)
It was a MOVIE bobo, and it wasn't made by "you liberals" it was made by a British Filmmaker and grossed a whooping $869,352 worldwide. Which I suppose explains why "We Liberals" never got the royalty check from making such a shit bomb.

It was a movie noone saw, noone cared about, and the only useful thing it has done has been to give the cons something to bitch about.

Now go back to your classroom and try to learn the difference between a work of fiction and reality.

Example, if I make a movie about overthrowing the government...fiction

If I advocate on the public airways the overthrowing of the government...reality.

If I make a movie about assasinating a political figure.....fiction

If I take attempt to assasinate a political figure.....reality

one might earn some money the other would put me in jail for a very long time.

See the difference?

Not to mention that Death of a President was panned as a conservative victim fantasy. The movie was more effective for that demographic than Viagra will ever be.

Bobo repeats this lame hyperbole despite being admonished for it multiple times.

It was a lie already when you said "you liberals made a movie." Now the movie has become plural. Are you feeling all right? Go get some sleep before you post again.

You should have started your post by denouncing Limbaughs rhetoric

Instead you scurry around to find some evidence that " we do it to"

Neither one of them should be saying what they did

and the fact that you are ok with Limbaugh saying what he did but not Rhodes  IS STUPID.

It's silliness like Which brings us to  "Death of a President," a new movie about the assassination of George W. Bush." that makes it pointless to try and even engage you in conversation. You can't even stay current.

he has used this nonsense before.

Remember..recyling.


Your right however "debating" with Ken is like playing fetch with a dog, outwardly, a not particularly bright dog.

You throw a ball, he brings back a stick. You throw a stick, he brings back a rock. You throw a rock he pisses on your shoe.

Disgusted, you think, "maybe he just needs more work", you find the ball, he barks and wags his tail, you throw it, over the hill he goes, ball in his mouth, never to be seen again.

A couple of days later the doorbell rings, you open he door, there's Kenny, tail wagging, ball in mouth, eying your shoes.

How many pair of piss soaked shoes do you need to figure out the game?

So Russ and Hubble are saying... (none / 1)
That its OK when a liberal like Randi Rhodes said that Bush should be assasinated, but its not OK when Rush says Obama should be "detained" by the military...

Doesnt anyone else see the double standard here?

Can you Liberals not peer through your own smugness to realize what you are asserting?

You'll have to ask some "liberals". As far as Hubble and I go, no , not at all,  because that wasn't what we were talking about. In general I'm not particularly interested in what Limbaugh Rhodes or, in this case, you have to say.  

Allegorically speaking your abstraction "peering through smugness" has issues.

Will not make it go away Russ... Why don't you just come out and say that it was OK for Liberals to threaten harm to Bush, but its not OK for Conservatives to threaten harm to Obama... Its a very simple proposition, but instead you'd rather call Ken a dog. So much for discussion and debate here....

...it was OK for Liberals to threaten harm to Bush, but its not OK for Conservatives to threaten harm to Obama...

The question itself is idiotic. US Code Section 18 Title 871 says no.

Ass, oh excuse me, As I said before:...

" You'll have to ask some "liberals". As far as Hubble and I go, no , not at all,  because that wasn't what we were talking about. In general I'm not particularly interested in what Limbaugh, Rhodes or, in this case, you have to say.  

Allegorically speaking your abstraction "peering through smugness" has issues.

Anything else? ..."

But since you asked..I've never listened to Randi Rhodes, I wouldn't know Randi Rhodes even if she walked up and flashed me.  ( Rhodes is a woman right? )

I'll tell you what , you send me a "im" renouncing every conservative that has threatened a President, including
the "conservatives" in Dallas that made thinly veiled threats to JFK before he was assassinated, the myriad of wing nuts that threaten Obama every day, the guy carrying the gun in NH, Limbaugh, Savage,Coulter , Westbrook Pegler...Aryan Nation, American Nazi Party, so many to chose from and I will return it with renouncement of Randi Rhodes.

I dont think Limbaugh believed in Democracy (none / 0)
When Bush was in the White House. Bush was busy dismantling  any semblance of a Democratic system as fast as he could and boss Limbaugh supported him all the way.

They where trying to concentrate all the power on the presidency.  They where trying to get a permanent majority in congress.

They where dismantling the middle class
Where anti education

Whatever it was Bush was moving us towards wasnt Democracy .

I missed the part where Robrob is in any way responsible for or connected with what Chris Matthews says. Or the part where Chris Matthews is somehow part of the progressive camp.

Anyway you seem to like videos, so here's an even better one.
