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."

Could you just imagine the field day Fox would have if Rev. Wright said that? Yep- no bias whatsoever at Fox...

[Robert5181]

There won't be riots at the Repub convention because everyone will be too busy visiting the Larry Craig bathroom or looking at the bridge (the one that didn't get repaired because of the need to keep taxes low)!!

[Tator]

This just keeps getting better! Now it seems moonbat U.S. Senator Ken Salazar has sent a letter complaining about RUSH.

When are you moonbats going to learn. Is your memory so short about the last letter RUSH auctioned and made complete fools out of all the Liberals for the world to see. Then the Liberals put both feet in their mouths trying to take credit. I have to admit it was one of the funniest things Liberals have done in a long time to make themselves look so stupid.

So now he will have another letter he can auction off and he make fools out of you again and of course you moonbats will compound the problem by trying to take credit for raising money like you did the last time.

Like I said before RUSH plays Liberals for fools every time and you keep making the same mistake!

[Vyvjala]

The self righteous I love myself limbaugh makes a handsome living pedaling his lies and pandering his pathetic followers into spreading his sleazy propaganda for free.

When you heap praise and bloviate about limbaugh who is nothing but a boil on the @ss of humanity, this makes you look stupid, not liberals.............

[incontempt]

LOL Rush...whats in your crystal ball for nevada republican convention?

What a wanker

[BethStuart]

We seem to workship ignorance in this country. I understand Limbaugh flunked out of Southeast Missouri State University in his freshman year and never went back. According to his mother, he flunked everything he took including ballroom dancing. Check out the details at:

[protagonia]

Everyone in Colorado needs to bring along a video camera or even just a video phone.

Put every trouble maker (All instigators of violence) on video, then boot them out of your group!

Put it all on You Tube and show the world how it all really occurred.

We have the technology, now use it.

Little Brother can watch things too, you know.

[Tator]

You moonbats have one problem with "RUSH is trying to incite riots" drivel.

Your problem is with WHO will be doing the rioting. Will it be folks who listen to RUSH, or conservatives, nope.

It will be liberal African Americans and College students....they hate RUSH.

So for moonbat logic to be correct people who never listen to RUSH and hate RUSH are going to riot on his orders???

Sometime I wonder how you moonbats dress yourselves in the morning.

[cobraxus]

I seem to recall Ole Rush had his dittohead fans block the voting machines in Florida so the recount couldn't go through.thanks Tator for turning our once great nation into a f*cking 3rd world country run by lying morons.hang on,Tator.I think your accident attorney is calling about your latest injury lawsuit.remember:it's your money and you want it now(disability payments don't last forever).

[abouttime]

Rush is a sad man.

I mean, according to this report Limbaugh said "riots during the convention would ensure Democrats don't get elected" This doesn't make any sense at all.

Look, generally speaking, the temperment at the anti-war and peace rally's these past eight years have lively and peaceful. The exception has been the result of police misconduct in creating chaos, resulting in men, women and children scurrying to safety, and away from the police. (Not to mention government/corporate infiltraters and provoctours).This is true also for the conventions held in New York City and Los Angeles.

Anyway, it's not good to promote violence for any reason.
Mr. Limbaugh should be shamed of himself.

[jimmyjones22]

Usually I put on my pants one leg at a time. But It must be difficult for right wing republicans to pull up their pants - you know, with some dude tugging their man-meat and all. Not that you guys are gay or anything...

[LiberalBuzz]

Tator, you mean like how it turned out in 1968 the biggest Provocateurs turned out to be FBI and Republican Dirty Tricks squad members? You mean THOSE liberal African Americans and college students?

Yeah yeah yeah, keep telling yourself that. Like the morons from D.C. who did everything possible to disrupt the count? THOSE LIBERALS??

Dude, here's a quarter, go buy yourself a clue.

[RevJeff]

There are a couple of things you can do to get this moron off of the airwaves. First, email complaints to the radio station(s) in your area that host his fascist show. Second, contact the companies that advertise on his program and explain to them that as long as they insist on supporting his show, you will not be using their products. And finally you can email a complaint to the FCC here. [e-mail]. If enough people do these things, he WILL be jerked off of the air. Radio station revenue comes directly from their advertisers, no advertisers, no money. Hit them in the pocketbook! Personally, I don't think the FCC is going to do anything since it is part of the Bush administration and Rush spews out the right-wing doctrines.

[steamboat]

Jeff, while you are emailing that complaint don't forget Keith Olbermann, also. His lobbying of physically beating Hillary up.

[4wehttam]

Oh you exaggerator you. Keith never said that. He made a wrong analogy which some dolts (like you) took way out of proportion. Seriously, he wanted her beat up physically??? Are you not ashamed at your own words for heaven sakes?

This is exactly the kind of Rush language that gets people in trouble. Steamboat, take a breather, slap yourself silly, get a grip on reality, then you can comment logically, rationally and with SANITY. Sheesh!

[Gary47]

I know, let's have riots until they pull the plug on right-wing talk radio.

[UnbiasView]

I thought liberals were all for the 1st amendement?

[LABC]

I wish conservatives would learn what the 1st amendment actually is - it doesn't prevent criticism of your speech. Maybe you would stop being such babies running under its skirt every time you get challenged.

Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.

[RevJeff]

To register a complaint with the FCC. [e-mail]

[wcfar]

A bufoon of the first order. This is a guy just spouting to pander to the right wing eccentrics. If you flashback to elementary school you'll remember Rush, his clone was in every class. Different names but the same strain. The blabbering smart ass that could never shut up so everyone else could get something meaningful out of class. All these "Rushies" wanted was a laugh but sadly the laughs were a response to how pathetic they were.

[pc51]

I don't get it- is he trying to say that if Obama does not get the Democratic nomination there will be riots? Uhoh - I did not think about this. Just in Denver or will there be riots everywhere? Does he think there will be riots if Obama does not beat McCain? You all are scaring me- I lived thru riots when I was in first grade and I thought we would never have that again. I'm going to hide in the mountains until this election stuff is over. I'm serious. This is out of control.

[zorrobozo]

A vote for Hillary is a vote for Rush!

[foxflood]

It's time to put him in jail.

[Soundofthunder]

When a public figure promotes violence and unrest, insurrection, isn't that an act of treason? If Randi Rhodes publicly implored for violence at the RNC, how long would it take before she was arrested by Bush's private junta at Fatherland, I mean Homeland Security?

SOT

[nirek]

Rush is a sick man and needs help, I fel sorry for eople like him who spew hatred an insite pople to riot.

[letsgetsmart]

So it is ok to let the publics airways be used to instigate civil unrest, huh? Wouldn't it be nice to have a dem control in all of government so we can get our airways back in control and limit the amount of media any one can own.? Maybe even use the rules of abuse to clean up some of this. Any one who has an imagination can come up with dark thoughts. How about a mortar attack in Minnesota? Oh, well I can only dream about it.

[Vyvjala]

The rightwing nematodes have a hero. Rushbo, sounds like when you flush an overloaded toilet......

[JohnnieP]

It's a wonder that Rush can even take a deep breath, given the fact that he's had his head stuffed up
his asshole , probably for his entire adult life.

[SmellyOne]

I respect Rush Limbaugh becuase he is a very talented Radio Personality.

I wish there were an equally prolific Lefty to balance him.

[ProfEv]

What we need is an "equally prolific Lefty" to be on the radio at the exact same time as Rush--listen to what he is saying and have a rebuttal ready immediately. That would drive people crazy switching from one station to the other. I often listen to him (in order to get a laugh) because he refers to himself as "the most powerful man in America" and a "gift from God". What an idiot! The other day, he was lamenting that the "liberals" are writing some "nasty" stuff about him and then stated that he "cared about people, I mean really care". I almost vomited in my car when I heard that one. He HATES Democrates--I guess that means that we aren't "people"--LOL.

[Gary47]

Intelligence in the service of evil is not "talent". It's just immature.

[fishsandwichesr2good]

His survival (and flourishing) despite weekly attacks from the likes of huffpo, MSNBC, etc., etc., is a testament to his talent. People that listen to him understand that this "riots" thing is simply a way of using humor & exaggeration to entertain while making a point. Those that don't listen to him should take some time to do it, not because he'll change their minds (although he might), but because they'll see through the falsehoods stated or implied in articles like this one.

[Chiang]

True. Despite all his faults, Limbaugh is one of the top political intellectuals of our time. He has the talent and ability to cut through clutter and present the most complex issues in clear, concise language.

The Democrats fear him and they assign interns to record and pour over his every word, looking for something, anything, to use against him. They fail of course but that's their job. They're liberals.

[LABC]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! A top intellectual - wow, we are dumbing down this nation. The only reason that walking fart machine is considered an intellectual is because his audience has someone to articulate their backward-a$$ views on everything.

[surfcitysteven]

'Intellectual?" Are you serious? He is a carnival barker, a geek, nothing more. Intellectuals don't propose riots. Intellectuals don't go deaf from doing too many drugs then lie about it. Intellectuals are, well intellectual. "Clear and concise language?" Then I guess the prosecution for riot -inciting should be a slam dunk. If you think that the fat slob is an intellectual, you are pathetic ditto head and from where you are you can actually describe the smell of his oozing cyst.

[FrankBlackFrancis]

Well I think it's safe to say he's given them a juicy one here. Last I checked even the suggestion of promoting a riot, whether it yields results or not, is illegal. It's way over the line. He should go to prison. This goes beyond free speech rights. His weak attempt to imply he meant something else just isn't believable. He wanted his "operation chaos" clowns to instigate a riot to make the Democrats look bad. There's really no excuse to be given. I hope he gets nailed on this.

[SmellyOne]

Where did you check that his activity was illegal?

Please provide a link.

[letsgetsmart]

I have mountains of disgust that I will have to get through before I even consider fearing this fat guy. I am old enough to see the long term lasting effects of drug abuse and he shows all of the signs.
