Rush Limbaugh Sings: "I'm Dreaming Of Riots In Denver"

DENVER (AP) - Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh downplayed his "dreaming of riots in Denver" statement, saying that he wasn't calling for riots and was referring to warnings of trouble if super delegates decide the nomination at the Democratic National Convention.

Limbaugh's comments on his syndicated show Wednesday prompted Mayor John Hickenlooper to say: "Anyone who would call for riots in an American city has clearly lost their bearings."

Hear him sing:

Limbaugh made his comment Wednesday to the tune of the holiday song, "White Christmas," and said riots during the convention would ensure Democrats don't get elected.

Glenn Spagnuolo, an organizer with the protest group Re-create 68, mimicked a comment by state Rep. Douglas Bruce, R-Colorado Springs, by saying: "We don't need another 5,000 illiterate Limbaugh listeners coming to Colorado."

Yeah... he's dreaming, alright. Too bad for him that he'll need a few of those little blue pills in order to make his dream have a "happy ending".

Limbaugh? LMFAO!!!!

[Podewumun]

Yeah...and I'm dreaming of a crab outbreak in Rush's underwear.

[Naithom]

*POOF*

You have your wish!

[Casanavelaw]

My sympathy to the crabs.

[TrollsTakeYourMedstoo]

At least he would finally have some action down there.

[KOisGod]

Rush's brain dead audience must be getting wise to him, and his ratings are slipping, so this.

How much longer before the duped and ignorant go "sling blade" on these users and liars, as they witness first hand that it is those in power NOW, i.e. the right, that are overseeing and profiting off of the backs of the workers, who are getting shafted everywhere - gas pump, food, housing ?

[mikegoodyearaz85338]

Please check out http://www.recreate68.org. Is this a right wing conspiriacy or is it peace activists promising violence? They did lose their city park permit to the DNC Host Committee. Nice!

[Chiang]

It has to be VRWC. Peace activists are never violent.

[AmandaRuth]

there are those on the left (the good side) who really believe that recreate68 are agent provocateurs, either the cia or fbi or other government operatives.

Me, I am not sure what to believe, but you can bet the 38 or so families that really run this country and the government are not going to give up power without a fight, to an AA or a women, no way.

[TocinoHumano]

I don't know what makes me sicker: That Rushbo is advocating violence, or that he is singing.


Pass the barf bag please.

[Testtubebaby]

I hope they drag him out in shackles and put his fat bombastic a#### in the middle of the public square in the summer time under the blazing sun with an apple stuffed in his mouth.

[deecee22]

This is a threat to a US Senator and would be President. that is nothing funny about that.
IT IS ILLEGAL. Rush inciting riots (2008) and at the same time trying to tie Obama to Ayers rioting (1960)

[utd]

You are absolutely right, but unfortunately our DOJ is full of partisan leadership who couldn't find their head from their ass, much less be willing to prosecute their sainted hero.

[biglover]

Yeah and if there was really a God, do you think someone like Rush Limbaugh would be alive. Wake up america. Believe in yourself not some fantasy.

[VINSTERDUDE]

the only viable thing rush has ever proved - is that it is totally possible to do your job,.while on drugs - - oh,.and how to be a complete fool!

[rollingdivision]

He can't sing.

[proudcalib]

Why are Republicans so enthralled with violence?

[JohnKemp]

OK, let's see if a reply will "sneak through."

The 1968 riots were at the Dem convention in Chicago; the Republican convention that same year in Miami was quite peaceful.

[SanFran1]

Why do liberals hate America so much?

[mesuki]

We don't hate America at all.....we hate what republicans have done to our once great nation...y­ou idiot!

[RedWhiteandBrooklyn]

Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams... THOSE Liberals? Sorry to intrude on your little world with a fact, but Liberals founded this nation.

Learn from history, not from a--wipes like Limbaugh. America was not founded as a Liberal Democracy. The "conservatives" of their day were called "Torys".

Clean water, clean air, safe food, safe drugs, safe medical procedures, safer autos, public schools, Blacks and women allowed to vote, rural electrification, insured bank deposits, affordable mortgages, affordable college loans... just a few more things brought to us by Liberals..­.. and conservatives fought against every one of those things. So the real question is why do conservatives hate America so much? Christian charity leads me to assume that they don't really hate America; they're sinply too f---ing stupid to know what America is.

[Podewumun]

We don't hate America.

We do, however, hate what is being done to her by those, like you SanFran1, who insist on using the word "liberal" as a thinly-veiled slur.

You sound "bitter".

[RedWhiteandBrooklyn]

Should have read: "America WAS founded as a Liberal Democracy.­"

[KOisGod]

If only ignorance, like a bad haircut, was visible.

[tea in the harbor]

They like violence because it doesn't require thought, a requirement that would put them at a disadvantage. Same with their refusal to accept evolutoin, it hasn't been kind to them so they don't beleive. It hasn't been easy for them either, all this new-fangled biped stuff, and where can you find pants with a tail hole anymore? At least the family tree is still a comforting place to sleep!

[Podewumun]

Even if there aren't any branches..­.?

[HBeachbum]

These are liberals that will be rioting. Republicans will be sitting at home watching the mayhem. Pass the popcorn.

[OnePartyEqualsTyranny]

Yea right, Republicans have guns right? Liberals have just as many but are not holding conventions pumping each other up or shoving one in your face. Yet

[FanaticRealist]

Isn't that all Republicans ever do?

Sit at home, watching the chaos unfold on TV whilst drinking beer directly from the can.

Seems to work for Bush.

[JohnKemp]

Since my first post was censored, I'll try again. More simply.

This is not a true story.

[sclucie]

That's not the truth. This is the exact quote - the one before the even more bizarre "dreaming of riots quote." I believe in that one he also claimed that liberals killed their children, which is new and interesting.

"Riots in Denver, at the Democrat Convention, would see to it that we don't elect Democrats," Limbaugh said during Wednesday's radio broadcast. He then went on to say that's the best thing that could happen to the country.

[fignozzle]

what a sophomoric pig.

[PrdAmerican]

Is this a form of sedition?

[rimmer]

I thought Limpy was tired of "carrying water" for the Republicans. I thought he was dead set against John McCain. Whatever. In the grand pantheon of offensive things uttered by Rush Limbaugh this doesn't rank all that high.
