The New York Times Blames Your Host for Anti-Lockdown Protests
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | April 23, 2020 | Rush Limbaugh

Posted on 04/23/2020 11:09:25 AM PDT by Kaslin

RUSH: I’m still responsible for all the protests out there. Despite never having advocated even a one of them. Oh, yeah, we’ve commented on them, but I haven’t advocated a protest.

I haven’t given marching orders, because I never do. Yesterday on the New York Times website they have a podcast called The Daily, and Jim Rutenberg… This guy used to be dependable years ago when he first got the gig. This is what he had to say about the protests against the states and the governors and their stay-at-home orders.

RUTENBERG: As these protests roll out, they’re becoming a cause celebre in conservative media.

RUSH ARCHIVE: By the way, there are uprisings all over this country against governors and their restrictions.

RUTENBERG: They’re getting tons of play! Rush Limbaugh, all the talk radio hosts! But you have ample coverage on Fox News’ regular news programming as well. We started to see some tweets from the president of the United States. “Liberate Minnesota! Liberate Michigan! Liberate Virginia.”

RUSH: So apparently these protests are really, really bad. They’re really, really rotten. They shouldn’t be happening, and conservatives are responsible for it. I’m responsible for it, the president’s responsible for it, talk radio in general is responsible for them. Fox News is responsible for it! Yet when the left goes out and protests, they are the greatest things in the world!

They are the greatest example of American history. It’s public and popular dissent. They’re “speaking truth to power,” however they characterized. By the way, Gavin Newsom, who is the governor of California, has forbidden public protests on the grounds of the California state capitol in Sacramento.

Permits will no longer be granted for malcontents that want to protest on the capitol grounds — which are gorgeous. It’s a beautiful setup there, the state capitol California. But still, when did protests become horrible and rotten and something we need to blame organizers for? You know the answer to that.

“He was in effect comparing rutabagas to apples. His argument was invalid.”

And yet Americans are locked in their houses, jobless, with the economy imploding and facing another great depression. All this misery, waste, and fear over a ’pandemic’ that is no worse than a bad flu season. Your precious models were wrong in your ‘experts’ are fools.

“well, we know now that you are no better in your understanding and comprehension tha Rush.”

One thing is so parent, you have turned mixing together condescension and ignorance into an art form.

It is a tragic mistake to quarantine the whole world on a lock down when we should be quarantining only the vulnerable people away from the general population.

A lock down of the entire population has never been tried in history and it is insane.

“Rush has no science and not much math.”

I don’t think this is a science or math thing. It’s a Constitution thing, and I believe Rush has a clue about that. Tyrants and terrorists have imprisoned healthy, law-abiding citizens and he’s not cool with THAT.

I know. My mind hears it in her voice. It’s terrifying. I have a hard time reading Obama’s quotes, too, for the same reason.

That’s where Rush’s ignorance comes into play.

He says he watches the task force but he doesn’t understand what is said because he lacks the educational back ground. Since the presenters are scientists, rush dismisses them out of hand. Rush’s view is and has been that scientists and science can’t be trusted

Then he takes up the presently irrelevant issue of the economy.

He is loudly asserting that the economy is primary and is thus at odds with the greatest minds the President can assemble to solve the problems. He either does n’t listen or doesn’t understand (or both) to the task force program for going forward. For placing his loudly exclaimed views abovce and beyond those of the task force verges on pure old stupidity
