Cafferty Slams ‘Gasbag’ Limbaugh, Reads E-mail Comparing Rush & Hannity to KKK
NewsBusters ^ | December 15, 2008 | Brad Wilmouth

Posted on 12/15/2008 6:47:42 AM PST by St. Louis Conservative

On Friday’s The Situation Room on CNN, Jack Cafferty used his regular "Cafferty File" segment to attack Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives, citing Colin Powell’s recent words criticizing Limbaugh’s role in speaking for Republicans. After he quoted Powell’s remarks, Cafferty clarified that Powell was "talking about that gasbag Limbaugh," and posed the question for viewers: "Should Republicans stop listening to Rush Limbaugh?" Later in the program, all the viewer emails he read were harshly critical of Limbaugh, with one even comparing him and Sean Hannity to the Ku Klux Klan. Cafferty, reading email: "Connie in Chicago: ‘Yes! Limbaugh is a far-right agitator of the worst sort with a 1950's mentality of what values 21st century America should reflect. I expect him and other like-minded Sean Hannitys of the world to step out of their closet and display their white sheets and dunce caps. Limbaugh is a bad joke.’"

Cafferty, whose regular "Cafferty File" segment itself is far from being a unifying feature of CNN’s The Situation Room program, read emails that accused Limbaugh of "hateful rhetoric," "sociopathy," "inciting hate and fear," insulted Limbaugh’s listeners as "ignorant," referred to Limbaugh "taking his happy pills," and suggested that moderate Republicans should "scrape" the conservative faction "from their shoes."

What’s the matter — aren’t we all citizens of the world?

The more time passes the more I don’t want to get along, negotiate, understand, compromise and find common ground with the left.

I just want them defeated, humiliated, made irrelevant and put up against a wall.

CNN? I stopped watching them and took them off the remotes in my house a couple years ago when they broadcast a video of a muslim sniper murdering one of our GIs.

Sorry, I don’t watch the Clinton News Network and can’t see why anyone would.

Hateful, partisan (leftist) rhetoric is alive and well.

“Should Republicans stop listening to Rush Limbaugh?”

Hey, Jack, how about we ALL stop listening to YOU???

He’s such a loser, Jack Cafferty.

Prepping the public for the reintroduction of the Fairness Doctrine.

Limbaugh must be silenced.

None of this will stop until the sleeping giant wakes up and makes it. Each day, I wait to see if Paul Revere is yet saddling up. With the amount of people out of work, with more to come, it cannot be long now methinks.

Well I appreciate losers like Cafferty telling who I should be listening to. And all those people who emailed him with their pearls of wisdom... “Thank you.”
