Sen. Salazar: Reprimand Rush (Dem Sez Free Speech is bad)
Denver Post ^ | 04/26/2008 | Howard Pankratz

U.S. Senator Ken Salazar has asked today that the owner of 850 KOA "reprimand" Rush Limbaugh for what Salazar calls Limbaugh's "clear exhortation" for riots during the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

Limbaugh said earlier this week that he is not calling for a riot in Denver in August but only "dreams" of it, to the tune of "White Christmas."

"Now, I'm not inspiring or inciting riots. I'm dreaming. I'm dreaming of riots in Denver," he said mimicking the holiday tune.

But Salazar, in a letter sent today to Clear Channel Radio, the owner of KOA, characterized Limbaugh's comments as "incendiary."

"As I read Mr. Limbaugh's comments about riots at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, they appear to me to be a clear exhortation that those riots are exactly what he wants to happen," said Salazar. "For that kind of incendiary comment, I ask Clear Channel to reprimand Mr. Limbaugh."

Kris Olinger, director of AM programming for Clear Channel Denver, said that Limbaugh is syndicated by Premiere Radio Network , the syndication arm of Clear Channel.

"We passed the letter along to Premiere," said Olinger. "They obviously are going to take Senator Salazar's comments and consider them."

Salazar: The first amendment applies only to non-white Democrats like me, the rest of you STFU.

I call on the Senate to expel Salazar for being a crumbum an for looking like crap in a cowboy hat.

Salazar should be posting here on FR. There’s a whole gaggle of Rush-bashers here. He’d fit right in.

Perhaps Rush can put up another eBay charity auction.

Perhaps that would be appropriate in Mexico, but in the USA, the correct interpretation of the First Amendment is that the Founding Fathers wanted to protect POLITICAL SPEECH. Nowadays, that’s the only speech that the Fascists want to curb.

The stupid Colorado voters who elected this piece of pig offal deserve what they got. He fooled them by speaking like a conservative when he campaigned, but showed his true colors as a liberal after the election. Wise up, Colorado voters.

Guy thinks he has an Hispanic surname too, but when you deconstruct it you quickly discover he is "the standard bearer" "at" "zar" ~ or, in short, Salazar is a Spanish title of nobility from way back in the early days when the Cornish army under King San Cho Noe the First invaded Spain and prepared to begin the Reconquista.

The names in Cornish, not Spanish at all. He's simply the spawn of another white European conquerer.

Rush was a fool to give them a soundbite like that. Sorry, but Rush jumped the shark on this one. He may have thought it was funny, sarcastic, etc., but it obviously didn’t come across that way, even to many of his listeners, and I think he should do something to clear this up ASAP.

I doubt that the mentally challenged lefties that will be attending the DNC convention are influenced too much by what Rush says.

As near as I can understand it (they aren’t very coherent as posters go) Rush is promoting Hillary to further his own career because he did well under the last Clinton administration and figures to do well under the next and that he doesn’t care a fig about conservatives or conservative causes and is only in it for the money.

Do I have that about right? (Question for the Rush-bashers.)

Looks like Rush is going to get another letter to sell on eBay.

Even as I was answering your question (”What’s their beef?”) a few of them chimed in to this thread. One proved my point about them being generally incoherent. Something about winkie twinky. They aren’t a highly intelligent lot but they all seem to know better than Rush.

Exactly. For them to whine and moan and pee their panties over Rush's simple remark is really funny since they are the party of rabble rousers, the party of hate, the party of lawlessness and the party of siding with The Enemy against the American Military.

Sounds like the talk of an illiterate peasant.
