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.
The left is comprised of two things. Control and Jealousy. Every argument they make can be broken down into one of those two things.
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
Well, WE have known this for years.
The left is a clear danger to America and our allies.
...probably not.
Ms Shirley seems proud of herself for evolving from a Racist to a Racist Marxist.
I would do exactly what I always do to libtards when I encounter them and they start arguing with me: I blow cigar smoke in their faces!
“The left is not just intolerant - they hate anything which stands for truth..”
You are almost there. The left is nothing more than envy. The one vice that consumes both the practioner and the target. Its as old as the hills and twice as dusty. Envy hates all that is good. This is why its the deadliest of deadly sins. Marxism is just an psuedo-educated veneer to enable the envious the false pretentions of being a savior. (See Obama).
I promised myself that I would not shocked at what was written about Rush. Then I read the above.
Can anyone remember anyone one writing anything about any liberal here, that was as vile, that was not taken down or objected to by others here?
If so, please illuminate; because until someone prominent on the left objects and distances themselves from the above, we have a serious problem.
In the meantime, he made 125% on his condo, lol.
“Well, WE have known this for years.”
Absolutely. It just took this latest revelation to put the “JournoList” label upon it.
And now we know how identical script texts show up in MSM news coverage. They’re ALL drinking the Kool Aid from the same pitcher! And their intellectual laziness won’t let them do anything but plod along with the rest of the herd.
There’s a name for this “activist journalism.” It’s called “propaganda”.
Powerful - and tag worthy. Can I borrow?
FOX isn't "broadcast" they're cable. I don't think the FCC can do anything. Like I said, the prof thinks we're already living in the totalitarian state of his dream world - where only HIS ideas rule. What a shit.
“Live and let live.” isn’t working.
I just call them the “Americnan Pravda”...and leave it as that.
Be my guest.
That's small potatoes considering Sen. Lindsey Graham just voted to confirm a SUPREME COURT nominee who argued in front of the same court that the Government can ban books.
All liberals like Graham are erstwhile dictators. Conservatives just want to be left alone. Liberals will choose any path to power, and that's why the Republicans have been infected with such vermin.
Sarah Spitz: mail@kcrw.org
This raises an interesting hypothetical for me. Suppose we divided America in half? One-half would be just for liberals and the other half would be for conservatives. Presumably, the liberals would build a huge, giant wall (like the one they WON'T build on our southern border), allegedly to keep us OUT (as opposed to its REAL purpose, to keep them IN!!).
I wonder, after living in their liberal paradise with all its lies, freebies, abortions and havoc, how long would it take before some of these people would be pleading for "political asylum" in the conservative America they claim to hate so much (including all of its icons)??
