Rush Limbaugh Responds to JournoLister Wishing His Death By Noel Sheppard Created 07/21/2010 - 10:38 Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh has responded to reports that an NPR producer wrote gleefully about his death in an e-mail message to the now infamous JournoList.
As NewsBusters reported [0] Wednesday, the Daily Caller's Jonathan Strong published [1] some more of the liberal group's e-mail messages which included Sarah Spitz claiming that she would "Laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out" as Limbaugh writhed in torment.
With this in mind, both the Washington Examiner's Byron York and myself asked Limbaugh for a response to this nonsense.
First, here's work Limbaugh told [2] York:
I can only surmise. I think most people on the left live in a world where merit is irrelevant. Theirs is a world in which connections, networking, kissing ass and obedient sameness are rewarded. I am the antithesis of all that. I am a legitimate, achieved and accomplished Number One and I've made it on my own and without them and without having followed their proscriptions. I think they are also jealous that I just sold my NY condo for a 125 percent profit while their homes are worthlessly underwater.
Funny thing....a number of my friends sent me the Daily Caller piece and the most shocking thing to them in the story was the advocacy of having government shut down Fox News. That the left wants me dead was not a big deal to them because it was nothing new to them. I think that's hilarious. And about that: how about the LAW professor who thinks the FCC can pull Fox's license? Fox does not have a license. The FCC does not grant Fox its right to exist. And this guy teaches law.
Moments after York's piece was published, I asked Limbaugh via e-mail if there was anything he wanted to add. This was his response:
And it is not just that they hate how I became who I am. They literally hate ME. They hate me because I am the most prominent, effective and unrelenting voice of conservatism and they have not been able to stop me. These people and their tactics are not new, we've seen them before in other countries and other times. They want to destroy contrary and opposition voices and views. They will climb over the law and the people to achieve their aims. Earlier in this administration, the president and his hacks targeted me, his party targeted me and their groups targeted me. They are all the same. They are leftists, disguised as lawyers, judges, scholars, professors, teachers, reporters, anchors, senators, representatives, legislative aids, congressional staff, federal bureaucrats, etc. There is NO Media. We know that now. There is just an incestuous relationship among all these various groups and a revolving door connecting them all.
To be a liberal is, by definition, to be not fully adult.
Rush understands liberal hatred - the law prof thinks we're already living in his totalitarian dream world where conservatives are sent off to camps and their rights to free speech are shut down.
We're not there yet - and with Rush and Fox on our side, maybe we'll never have a totalitarian state forced down our throats.
Best description I've seen so far.
Liberalism is intolerance.
The huge problem is that they get to print the money, levy the taxes, and own the judges and courtrooms everywhere. GUILLOTINE is about 30 years overdue!
Amen to that.
BAM!
Precisely, they continue through life expecting someone else to be responsible for them and blame others when the entitlements don't make them all they ever wanted to be. It's never their fault.
Sad, actually.
“We’re not there yet - and with Rush and Fox on our side, maybe we’ll never have a totalitarian state forced down our throats.”
OR
Maybe we won’t have to do to the second group of tyrants what we did to the first group!
Those on the left hate the very idea of America.
They hate everyday hardworking Americans.
They hate the fact that we have freedom. They would like to undermine those freedoms in order to have more control over our lives.
Given the chance, Liberals will create a utopia of Thugocracy.
There should be a law that takes the idea of separation of church and state and now makes it the forces separation of Free Press Media and State.
We either do this or the Red Media will conduct their Coupe and we will be powerless to do anything about it.

Below is a copy of mine:
How exactly would the government yank Fox off the air? I am unclear about that one given our 1st amendment rights.
I would rather think we should look into allowing NPR to compete in an open marketplace rather than relying on government subsidies for a communication vehicle that is not limited to emergency broadcasts. Shoot, the entity may thrive.
It may not do so well. I guess it depends on the ratings. Alas to generate ratings and attract advertising dollars, it has to build credibility much like news services and papers must work to demonstrate factual accuracy. They are doing well, yes, no?
In all sincerity,

I can not in good conscience, condone calls for the outright decapitation of my political opponents...
...not until we've at least given tarring and feathering a chance.
WOW! Rush nails it again - with half his brain tied behind his back!
The left is not just intolerant - they hate anything which stands for truth, but more than anything they would rather we give up our freedoms and become an Islamic State over our Christian roots...Why? Because Romans 1:19 declares “because that which is known about God is evident within them; for GOD MADE IT evident to them...vs 23 “they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man ...
