Rush Limbaugh Responds to JournoLister Wishing His Death

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.

Now THAT's a "rule" female FReepers can appreciate!

BTW, did you see his appearance over the weekend on Huckabee? (It's the only time I've suffered through a Huckabee show.) He is finally coming out of the conservative closet.

NPR is nothing new ... it’s basically what Radio Moscow did throughout the middle of the 20th century

Pravda on the Potomac.

The cult of the child - mushy sentimentalism - falls under both control and jealousy. Think about it this way whenever the Left wants to “help” the “downtrodden” it is not because they actually want to help.

They think the “downtrodden” can only be “helped” if they follow the commands of the Lefties (think: how does the Left respond to a black person in a bad situation if that person is conservative vs. how they respond if it is a liberal? That’s control. We will help you if you agree with us.

The method of helping - the way they assuage their mushy sentimentalism - is through jealousy. Find the “oppresor” and guilt / tax / change the law on them until they give to the oppressed. That’s pure jealousy of the success of the “non-downtrodden”.

Don’t fall for the belief that they are actually sentimental. They aren’t.

Why are liberal women always so ugly?

Maybe that's why they hate so much???
