I wonder how the MSM would have reacted if the same had been done to a billboard showing a gay activist or a black "spokesperson"?

It's different. Trashing a conservative is just fine with these closed minded MSM haters.

I'll wait for the outrage from the New York Times... CBS and CNN. For the calls for a stop to hate crimes... ( Is that crickets I'm hearing? )

The DPW spokesman is applauding the vandalism of billboards?? He seriously needs to be fired and re-assigned to cleaning up grafitti. What a tool.

“Robert Murrow, a spokesman for the city’s Department of Public Works, saw the vandalism as he drove to work this morning on I-83 near the Guilford Avenue exit. He called The Sun, saying that someone had poured paint on the image of Limbaugh’s face.

Limbaugh, who is nationally syndicated, can be heard on WCBM 680 AM from noon to 3 p.m.

“It looks like they took globs of paint and threw it on his face. It looks great. It did my heart good,” said Murrow, who admittedly is not a Limbaugh fan.

Kurt L. Kocher, chief spokesman for the city’s Department of Public Works and Murrow’s supervisor, took issue with Murrow’s statement.

“As much as you don’t like Rush Limbaugh, you don’t endorse vandalism, period,” Kocher said. “It’s an outrageous comment, and he shouldn’t have said it. It is not our policy. I think he got overenthusiastic about his feelings for Mr. Limbaugh. I am very upset about that comment, and I’ve let him know I’m very upset about that comment. It’s his personal comment and it’s wrong. It does not belong out there in any kind of official capacity. As far as I’m concerned, he was not speaking for the department.”

“We don’t endorse vandalism at any time against anyone,” Kocher later added.”

Bet Mr. Murrow doesn’t lose his job, though. Now if it’d been a Barack Hussein Obama billboard, and he’d said much the same thing, then “off with his head!” would’ve been the cry. Two sets of rules in this country, now, have you noticed that?

Like Rush said about the defaced billboard, they should write on top of that billboard, “Listen to what the Left does not want you to know.”

I got a form letter reply to my email from this lib:

“My comments today were not intended as spokesperson for the Department of Public Works.
I should always be aware that whenever I speak to
the media my statements will be considered official statements.
Today, I made a mistake and take full reponsibility for it. I apologize to the Department of Public Works and the City of Baltimore. Our employees work hard to eradicate grafetti and keep Baltimore clean. My comments were opposite the mission of the Department and a disservice
to my co-workers.”

(Translation: Please dont fire me)
