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.
Ha! The guy has a total of five degrees from Harvard, Yale and Cambridge: http://www.law.ucla.edu/home/index.asp?page=768
(I guess there’s nothing that a professional student can ultimately do but teach!)
Yuo know, you’ve got a point. A good old-fashioned public hanging is less messy and more festive.
Here is my note to Zasloff:
Re: I agree with you on pulling the FCC License from Fox
You and your buddies at the Journalist have it absolutely correct. Then we call all the right wingers fascist!
Maybe we can even paint Hitler type mustaches on George Bush photos at anti-war rallies and call them Tea Partiers.
Or maybe… We can elect a guy to the Senate who was a Grand Klegel in the KKK and demand that the Republican Majority Leader of the Senate be removed for trying to be nice to an old man and colleague at his birthday party.
Or maybe…..
I think you get the point.
There is a significant number of people in this country who have legitimate ideas contrary to your own. They have been bullied and cowered by mainstream journalism and the “elite” class for too long. A sleeping giant has awakened and I believe this is only the beginning.
While objectively, one must imagine how a professor can reconcile your Fox proposition with academic freedom and free expression, because you could very easily be on the receiving end some day of that very same proposal.
Unfortunately, I think that in your mind and in the mind of many others who do not agree with other legitimate views that the “ends justifies the means”. Historically this type of activity and its justification has not worked out so well for humanity.
The Underground!
Ome word and one word only.........DENIED!
The act of extracting the feathers to get to the tar without peeling the skin from the muscle took HOURS and HOURS for the unfortunate victim.
Methinks we should bury these leftist cretins next to a Texas fire ant mound and pour a jar of honey on their head to the entrance.
Well done. A lot of people think that Orwell's 1984 or Rand's Atlas Shrugged could never happen. Given what we have seen over the last few years, if the Left could impose those systems on us they would do it in a heartbeat.
In Europe? Someday they’ll do that to Christians caught handing out evangelical tracts.
Trying to reason with them is a waste of time - no email will reach their closed hateful little minds. It just won't happen. We need to reach out to those on the left with a conscience - there are some...
“In the meantime, he made 125% on his condo, lol. “
One thing I always like that Rush does is rub financial gain in the left’s face. The left will hardly mention what he makes since it implies success. When Rush gets a new contract, I’ve always heard him make a joke like “Why is it they get the annual amount right, but .... THEY KEEP FORGETTING THE SIGNING BONUS?” :-).
I’ve always viewed most leftists I know in the following categories :
1> True believers. These are the ones that flat out believe their ideas are sound. These are the ones that can debate yet don’t want to see you die nor ship off dissenting voices to conversion centers.
2> Overgrown children. People that think money is something you print and that government should be able to print money for all w/o any repercussions.
3> People that know *exactly* what they are doing ... these are the dangerous, deranged ones. Usually, something goes wrong in their life that is “everyone’s fault but their own”. The solution is to change everyone, by force, so that they appear to be right. Usually, these people are the most selfish and sick people on the planet. A question that usually causes a nervous breakdown if you catch one of these people alone is “Why do you have this sick obsession with controlling people’s lives?”. Start with that and show that it is a form of slavery ... their head explodes.
They are becoming unhinged. Remember, the left isn’t that thrilled with Obama since he’s “not progressive enough” or is “not moving fast enough”. Come November, even if the Republicans simply reduce their deficits in the House and Senate by about +25 and +4 seats respectively, this President is neutered.
I want to win one either part of congress badly, but we have GOT to make sure the leadership in that case can fight a media that will blame anything bad on anything a Republican controls.
Sorry for the rambling. These people are just maddening. I could go insane knowing my tax dollars give a bitch like this Spitz media whore fractions of a penny to “earn” a living in this country.
Another thing that makes me vomit is that people who listen to NPR think they are enlightened or something ... arrrghghghghhg :-). NPR is nothing new ... it’s basically what Radio Moscow did throughout the middle of the 20th century ;-).
If a Republican doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one.
If a Democrat doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a Republican is homosexual, he quietly leads his life.
If a Democrat is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a Republican is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A Democrat wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a Republican doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Democrats demand that those they don’t like be shut down.
If a Republican is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church.
A Democrat non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.
If a Republican decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A Democrat demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a Republican reads this, he’ll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh.
A Democrat will delete it because he’s “offended”.
bttt
I think you are right — but add one more thing — they are in the cult of the child, where a mushy sentimentalism reigns — pure schmaltz — side by side with their murderous hatred.

A good many of them don’t have what it takes to make it on their own merit (see affirmative action, quotas, etc). They would not come out on top in a meritocracy, so the only way they can appear superior is by holding down those who truly are. That’s one of the factors in the dumbing-down of this country-there’s no way to make everyone equally intelligent and driven, so instead make everyone equally stupid and unmotivated. I hate to admit, after years of infiltration of the academia and media and the entertainment industry, they’ve done a good job of it. We’re at the “bread and circuses” stage already.
No indeed it’s not. And I am sick of conservatives who say we must “be better than them”, live by “the golden rule”. These rules aren’t working, haven’t been working, and the left has no intention of abiding by them. I have to wonder whose side some of these “conservatives” are really on. The left has always played by “the end justifies the means”.
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. "
I have a VERY big problem with this line of thought.......................................................................
....The tar will gunk up the blade and cause it to jam.
The mantra of a liberal today is "there ought to be a law".That phrase has incensed me since my mother often spouted it 40-some years ago;it is the cry of those who will not,cannot , trust anyone else with freedom.Such people often limit themselves as well by incessant worries over the correctness of their actions as viewd by other people ,not the intrinsic values of their acts.Telling the truth about the lazy and corrupt is usually unpopular in a liberal socialist society because it offends those lazy and corrupt parasites,and might stir the others to examine the rules.
