Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh is being targeted by multiple death threats after President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party ignored his apology for controversial remarks and continued to single him out for rebuke. The assault has become so nakedly partisan and opportunistic that even HBO host Bill Maher--who recently donated $1 million to Obama's Super PAC--has called it a witch hunt with intimidation as its goal.
Maher: Hate to defend #RushLimbaugh but he apologized, liberals looking bad not accepting. Also hate intimidation by sponsor pullout
The death threats to Rush are captured in several screen grabs of his Facebook page. "Execute Rush, now!" states one; "Don't just drop sponsorship someone kill this pig now please!!!!," reads another. These and others are documented below, with images and names obscured, so as to not be guilty of fueling the same targeted hatred the White House and Democrats have now gone to great lengths to stoke.
The mainstream media is also culpable here, as NewsBusters has pointed out in an article titled "Onslaught: ABC Airs Eight Limbaugh Stories in Less Than Five Days."
Harris played two nasty clips, one showing Jon Stewart mocking the conservative host as a "terrible person." Harris excitedly related,

The whack radical left in all it’s glory needs to be obliterated!
That apology will haunt Rush forever. They’ll never let up.
Is this the same Bill Maher who called Sarah Palin a c*nt and didn't apologize?
The DSCC requested the FFC remove Rush from the airwaves and the IRS is coming down on Tea Party groups. FNN and GBTV people are getting the same treatment. All big name conservative celebrities must hire private security. Breitbarticus drops dead.
The noose tightens.
Maher is only supporting Rush because he is finally worried that the backlash may get him...if Rush goes..it would be logical that he goes too. Suddenly he becomes a champion of free conservative speech.
has anyone read any conservative anywhere suggest the killing of bill maher or jon stewart? no.
this step-up to openly discussing murder is not human
Hey folks .... we can’t stop the death threats, but we can fight back and help Rush out. I sent an e-mail to my local radio station yesterday to thank them for carrying the Rush show because I was certain they were coming under some pressure from the Left. The message I got back was:
“It hasn’t been easy. The opposition is very organized...but thanks.”
I guess I should not have been surprised …. but I was. This is a strong Rush market and I did not expect the station to be coming under such pressure.
If you are so inclined, PLEASE contact your local Rush radio station and let them know that you support them for carrying Rush. If you have state ‘ping’ lists, let them know this is going on. Enlist the aid of your friends and relatives living in the area …... whatever resources you have to get the message to these beleaguered radio stations, use them!
If you want some interesting if not ‘shocking’ reading on how organized these Leftists are, here’s an article worth reading (it’s a few pages long, please read it all):

Another good website is Brent Bozell’s who says he’s fighting back ... he just can’t stand by and do nothing:
Regardless of what you may or may not think of Rush, we CANNOT let the Left win this war and make no mistake, it is a WAR.
We are living in the times described by George Orwell when he said “In an era of universal deceit, the truth is a revolutionary act”. I say: To cower in silence is no longer an option. I know the power of FReepers when they get together and ACT – this is the time to DO something!!!
Conservatives are to modern-day America what Jews were to Germany circa 1933.
Obama’s election was a signal that they were about to follow Bill Ayres down the OWS rabbit hole. None of this is a surprise.
Thanks for the links. I see whitehouse.gov is using taxpayer dollars to run a petition against Rush. These are the times that try mens souls......
It's because it's easy to hide behind a keyboard these days.
Adam Carolla's solution? Bring back duels.
Maybe Maher spoke up as a favor to Ann Coulter who is very close to Rush.
We all witnessed what the left is capable of with Sarah and her children. This is why she told CNN last night that these radical leftists are HYPOCRITES.
“Pick the target. Freeze it. Personalize it.”
I think the target for us is obvious. Carbonite.
Their stock was down nearly 9% yesterday. They are vulnerable. We need to focus a full-court press on this company and achieve one of two things:
- A groveling return to the Rush Limbaugh Show (likely accompanies by a CEO firing)
- Force them into bankruptcy.
I know most of us are too nice to want to do that to people, but we’ve got to play the game by the rules as they exist. Taking Carbonite as a scalp will send a message to all the jelly-spined CEO’s out there not to mess with us. Subsequent Media Matters campaigns will then be far less effective.
Leave fingerprints. Make it obvious that when Carbonite bites the dust it was dittoheads who did the deed.
The left’s rejection if his apologies and continuing escalation against Rush personally, even to death threats, shows this now to be OBVIOUSLY intended to squelch free speech that liberals don't agree with.
It is ever more evidence of radical liberal collective mental illness and the weakness of people in business and government to avoid being co-opted or intimidated by them. So again it is up to we the people to show our reaction to what is going on
There is very little to respect in this whole debacle, but Rush surely tops the list.
