Limbaugh: Cho was a liberal

I don’t know or can’t say whether Cho is a liberal or not. But I know one thing…Limbaugh is a babbling idiot!

Limbaugh is an idiot…

he’s dumb.

As Governor Swartzneger said, he is “irrelevant.”

That Rush Limbaugh. What a strange little man. Besides, liberals want gun control, right?

Limbaugh should work to address his intellectual credibility gap rather than go for bombastic rhetoric.

Limbaugh is Correct…Liberals believe that they are losers in the economic Game, and that they are Victims. They always feel the need to protect the “Underdogs”, and therefore they lash out at the “oppressors.” That’s exactly what this nut Cho did…he was lashing out because he knew he was loser in the game of life, and he lashed out at what his delusional mind thought were his oppressors. Just like Liberals. Cho was a Liberal.

I’m sure the family and friends of those killed are delighted to hear this news from Mr. Limbaugh. How rewarding it must be for those connected to this tradgey to know this all boils down to a loud mouth angling for a political statement. How thoughtless can anyone be. In a world of 24/7 everthing, to get people to listen Limbaugh just gets louder, cruder and dumber to get more attention.

Rush Limbaugh cannot be taken seriously about anything. He himself is so biased and his opinions are so illogical that he has no credibility. It’s hard to believe that he has such a large audience. I can’t imagine who finds him entertaining or insightful. He is a symptom of America in decline.

we need to pray for rush and maybe the lord will show him the evils of his ways and rush is not right

The question was ‘What was his ideology?’.
Is it really neccessary to pick between
only 2 ideologies?
Apart from that, the ‘despiccable’ comment
was correct.
Cho was obviously delusional and messianic, IMHO.
Does that make Charles Manson a liberal too?
O.K. then the “Zodiac” killer must be a conservative…. ROTFL

Cho was mentally ill. Rush is an addict. What does any of that have to do with political persuasion?

To paraphrase H.L. Mencken, no one ever went broke by exploiting the greed, fear, and paranoia of the American public, and Mr. Limbaugh is an expert at that.
And to quote Diane Chambers, “The man is pond scum.”

Rush Limbaugh is an embarrassment – why is he still on the air?

This low life bottom feeder is a disgrace, not only to everyone in this country, but to the people who give him the means to spew such stupidity. Shut this ideot down. People like this should not be allowed to use the public waves for this nonsense crap. Shame on us all!

There is only one thing I can SAFELY say about Rush–”Stupid is as stupid does.”

Cho hated the rich-that pretty much sounds like a liberal. Once again, Rush is correct.

Some of you opinionate just as much as Rush – with the media piggybacking on every tragedy like it’s thier last meal. Too bad the tragedy itself will have more coverage than the gun control issues that spring forth.

In all of the negative responses towards Rush, I did failed to see anything but name-calling, character assassination, and an attack on his credability. First, if you resort to name calling, you’ve losted your credability, if you assassinate his character, you’ve failed to respond to the claim he’s making, and lastly, if you challenge his credability, present the evidence that he’s wrong. His critics would love to be able to attack his credability, but present the evidence. Those who call for his silence need to recognize this: he has 20 million listeners; and the same demand for his silence can also be used against any of us in the future. Say something unpopular and you’ll be on the end to be silenced.

Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot for jumping on a few words that a psychotic killer used in order to attack liberals without any sensitivity whatsoever towards what the friends and family of V-Tech victims are feeling. Implying that Cho’s “political views” — if you can call them that — have anything to do with the fact that he was a maniacal mass murderer (And let’s not kid ourselves folks, this is exactly what Rush “the Pork” Limbaugh is implying) is not only tasteless and idiotic, but downright crass. If that’s the truth, are all conservatives big fat idiots like Rush “Cankles” Limbaugh?

In Response to Tony’s comment.
Do you really know what a liberal is? Just in case you have no idea, here it is:
liberalism (also known as traditional liberalism and laissez-faire liberalism) is a doctrine stressing the importance of human rationality, individual property rights, natural rights, the protection of civil liberties, constitutional limitations of government, free markets, and individual freedom from restraint.
I think it’s safe to say that the VT shooter was not a liberal by any means. As many people have said, this guy was severely disturbed and not a liberal, if anything he had a extremist position of life like many so called conservatives, like Rush, Bush, Cheney and Rove.

I hope someday soon our nation goes back to listening to informed journalists, rather than loudmouthed idiots (on both sides of the political spectrum).
Cho’s political views are irrelevant to this tragedy. As a result of his actions, 32 people are dead. Show a little class Rush, and don’t demean the families’ grief by furthering your own agenda.

I am beyond offended! I am soooo sick of the liberal/conservative tirates. ENOUGH! We are all Americans and we should be looking at our (many)problems and working together to solve them…politics aside.

Jesus was a “Liberal”, and thought the rich would have a pretty hard time making it into heaven. Something about a camel getting through the eye of a needle. What’s your point Rush???

America’s favourite junkie spouts off. Guess he hasn’t been in the news enough recently. Cho thought he was Jesus Christ. Sounds like a dittohead to me.

What a sad and frightening commentary about our country that this neo-fascist actually commands an audience. Limbaugh and his ilk represents the worst in people: racism, bigotry, intolerance of different views. In short, extremist propaganda that fits in with totalitarian societies.

Those of us who believe the quote, “It’s better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you’re a fool than to open it and remove all doubt,” could use Rush Limbaugh as our proof text. The best way to quiet his garbage-mouth is to stop listening to him, stop giving him undeserved press coverage.

The great thing about this story is that in NYC Limbaugh is on an ABC affilate. This “story” is just more crass cross-promotion by a ratings driven corporation that cares little for news and only cares about stirring up a made up story to keep generating ad dollars. The losers in all of this are the public, whose airwaves are being abused, and the communites, in which ABC broadcasts, are not being met. The FCC should revoke their licenses but that won’t happen because shocker, the FCC is run by Bush. Its just one more way the public gets riped off.

A gun toting wacko blaming everyone else for every problem in the world? Sounds like Limbaugh.

Rush is so high he doesn’t even know what he’s saying anymore. It’s hilarious that anyone still listens to his drug-fueled ramblings.

Hitler and the Nazis must have been Conservatives if the same logic applied since they hated the poors and those deemed inferior. The following statement also holds true:
Nazi = Conservative
Limbaugh = Conservative
==> Limbaugh = Nazi

Any 12 step group or common sense will tell you an addict is unreliable and will manipulate any situation to get their way and their nees met. Knowing that Limbaugh should probably be a member of at least one of these groups for his own illegal activities and mental health problems (in order to gain any real insight on a personal basis), he should refrain from offering any public opinion. He’s clearly just as morally corrupted and people are buying into his addict thinking and helping profit from it, at the expense of the American populous.

How likely would it be that a liberal, as Rush so lovingly describes him, would be in possession of a 9MM Glock Semi Automatic weapon? Aren’t conservatives the ones who are proud gun-lovers?

Sounds like liberal views to me. Rush is right again.

Read the full text of what Limbaugh said, not just a snippet of what you, ABC wants to divulge. No wonder all media are grouped together as drive by media. Maybe Limbaugh is right, the killer sure didn’t sound like a conservative.

Rimbaugh MUST be removed from the airwaves for his “Cho Must be A Liberal.” He has no way to know.
In fact, I’ve been associated with Korea, Koreans and their culture,language and history since 1961 – most Korean are rather “conservative,” believe it or not…but not in the U.S. sense of the word that Limbaugh throws around.
He is a disgrace to the airwaves and if Imus was fired for his off-color remarks, then so must Limbaugh – it’s an affront to any Liberal in the world…
Where’s the outrage about him?

“edward” says that people want to “censor” or “ban” Limbaugh. Nothing could be further from the truth. Lots of people want to hear him talk. Limbaugh obviously satisfies the need some people have to recast complex global issues into simplistic “us vs. them” arguments. More than a little pathetic, but I’m sure it helps some people cope.
Edward also says that we are jealous of Limbaugh’s brilliance. I don’t consider Rush brilliant. Maybe Limbaugh only seems brilliant to people like Edward, who doesn’t know how to spell “speech.”

Why is ABC news giving Rush’s comments the time of day in the first place? The shooter was insane (duh). The crime had nothing to do with politics (duh). Trying to turn it into a talking point to entertain your audience is specious at best and pestilent at worst. Rush is a toad. You shouldn’t be helping him croak any louder than he already does.

Mr. Limbaugh has labelled a mentally ill man as a liberal, which is about as accurate as saying a diabetic has to be a liberal, simply because he is diabetic. The stupidity of his statements hardly warrants an intelligent response. Clearly this man has no knowledge or understanding of mental illness other than that which he suffers himself.

Rush Limbaugh will see that the path he has chosen leads straight to the torment of eternal Hell. All those who believe and all those who follow will be a few steps behind him. He is an abomination to the human race, and an embarrassment to America, along with his President. These people have destroyed the dignity of a nation, and have brought the world nothing but chaos, murder, insurrection and an Increase in global terrorism. Limbaugh is a pompous, arrogent little man who will be humbled in due time.

I was around when Timothy McVeigh bombed the OKC federal building. Prior to the act, McVeigh listened to hate radio hosts such as Rush. Rush, and others like him, inspired McVeigh. Let’s look into Rush’s personal life; (1) first he is a drug addict that uses his money to stay out of jail; (2) he has being married at least three times. None of them stuck because the women could not stand him even with the money he gave them, (3) even with three wives, he is incapable of fathering a child. The list is endless.
All of this leads to a very unhappy man that
compensates for his shortcomings by cutting folks
that have made contributions he can never hope to
match. A pitiful figures indeed. Folks, do not get made at Rush. He cannot help what he is.
You can only pity him.

Yet another shining example of an American conservative making a complete ass of himself for all the world to see (or hear). I don’t believe Cho was liberal or conservative. He was simply a crazed gunman, much like those at Columbine High School in 1999. I’m Canadian. While we have a had a few school shootings in the past decade, none have been as bloody, or have resulted in so much death as both Columbine and Virginia Tech. The United States has become a country of gun nuts, and it’s time to do something about it. The 2nd amendment of your Constitution is outdated (written over 200 years ago) and is downright stupid. It’s time to abolish it. Cho had the right to carry all the weapons he had. Get rid of the second amendment, and maybe he would have been stopped much sooner, before 32 people were shot and killed.
And enough of the coverage of Cho. He’s not the story. The victims of this tragedy are what the media should be covering.

Whatever, it’s sad he is so desperate for ratings that he has to make a tragedy such as this into a political issue, but if Rush really wants to play that game, not that it matters, what political persuasion were Terry Nichols and Timothy McVeigh? Rush? Evil exists on both sides of the political spectrum and anyone trying to make something like this into a political issue is utterly worthless. Advice to Rush, get off the oxycontin(again), lose about 80, and just shut up.

Rush needs to get a life. He’s just trying to help conservatives get into the White House by inserting the lie that liberals do this kind of thing. How dare that idiot politicize the grief and sadness of people across the America and the world.

Limbaugh is a shining example of all that is worng with this country right now. He is the worst sort of bigot, content to sit on his drug abusing rear and proclaim the appropriate label for anyone and everyone who disagrees with him. He and Don Imus along with Mel Gibson should form a Bigots Anonymous chapter and see if they can come to grips with the demons that haunt them and cause them to hate others.

Oh No…Who left the pills where he could find them again? That darn guy.

Just Rush trying to boost up his ratings again. But I ask why so much hate for liberals? Have things gotten so bad in this country, that there is no room for differing opinions and thoughts? “Liberal” refers to one’s thinking and beliefs, not a political party. You can have liberal Republicans, and conservative Democrats. I think the show “The West Wing” summed it up best:
“What did liberals do that was so offensive to the liberal party? I’ll tell you what they did. Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act. Liberals created Medicare. Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act. What did conservatives do? They opposed them on every one of those things, every one. So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, ‘Liberal,’ as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won’t work. Because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor.”

Using “liberal” as an invective is dated. It lacks cogency and doesn’t ring with younger generations. Every time a right-wing clan leader uses the term to paint his detractors with a broad stroke, he loses relevancy with those folks he ought to be concerned about attracting: younger audience members.
The true American exercises his prerogative to free speech, isn’t afraid to independently give voice to his convictions and doesn’t feel the need to boil down every issue to its most simplistic points and create a bogeyman enemy to childishly call names anyone who doesn’t share his misguided opinions.
The true American is a liberal.
It is only the intellectually inferior — the immature and fearful victims of pack mentality who can’t think for themselves — who need someone such as Rush Limbaugh to tell them how to think. Anyone who is so stupid to look to Limbaugh for a proper perspective deserves the unexamined, unenlightened ways of thinking (and way of life) he represents and espouses.

Whether it’s someone with a serious mental illness, like Cho, or a physical illness, like Michael J Fox, with Parkinson’s Disease, Limbaugh hates ‘em all. His type must be perfect. Only liberals could be impaired.

It appears that Cho was autistic, albeit a highly functioning one intellectually. While he was getting good grades in school, he was uncommunicative, anti-social, and given to obsessions. He was never treated.
So I guess all autistic people are liberals?

Ok,what ever happened to the fact that what rush said is an OPINION. the attitude that i’ve seen from people reacting to opinions such as this is the reason that america is falling apart. toughen up. we preach tolerance, and the next thing you know is nobody can have an opinion anymore without worrying about getting jumped in the street. if rush has his suspicions, let him have is opinon. as for the name calling and saying that all conservatives are going to the eternal flames of hell…come on ya’ll, that’s trash talk for elementary school students.

Why does that drug addict still have a show?
Who listens to the ramblings of a pillhead?
Rush Limbaugh is a drug addict–that is a fact, not an assumption. If you listen to him, you listen to the words of a mentally addled human being. And if you agree with his hallucinatory ramblings, look in the mirror. There’s something very wrong with you.

Wow. How classless can you be in a time like this?

A liberal, eh? He compares himself to Christ and decided to kill people with his 2nd amendment protected guns. That sure doesn’t sound liberal to me. A “hippie liberal” by Rush’s standards would be to wussy to shoot anyone with a scary gun, and would hate Jesus, not compare himself to him.
Keep it up, Rush! You can’t even get your smears right!
Thanks,
Mike

Limbaugh is Correct…Liberals believe that they are losers in the economic Game, and that they are Victims.
Posted by: Tony
This is an example of the incredibly shallow view of economic philosophy that most conservatives hold, including Limbaugh. The fact is that if you leave a capitalism unregulated and without re-distribution of wealth, the natural result will be the extreme concentration of capital in the hands of the wealthy. Take a look at India–ever wonder why 95% of the population lives in cardboard shacks, while the other five percent live in unrivaled luxury? Why isn’t the United States like that? Because most political and economic philosophers realized more than a century ago that some re-distribution of wealth is necessary if you’re going to free up capital for use by those who weren’t born rich (i.e. to create real economic opportunity for everyone). It’s done mostly by progressive taxation, but also minimum wage, anti-trust, regulation of the stock market, public education, and several other ways, all of which the GOP opposes. The GOP wants the poor to stay poor so they will continue to work for as low a wage as possible.
Here’s one example of how this works. Corporations try to keep their labor costs low by hiring as few workers as possible and paying them as little as possible. They take that money they save by paying poor people less and give it to their shareholders, people who obviously don’t live paycheck-to-paycheck. This is pure capitalism–a system that takes from the poor and gives to the rich. All Liberals have ever wanted was to level the playing field a little. If you don’t agree with it, then screw you. But it’s a far cry from saying that liberals are whiners because they are poor. Franklin Roosevelt was one of the richest men in America, but believed in economic liberalism. But you, Tony, think you know something he didn’t? Conservatives are ignorant fools.

Imaus got fired for a HECK of alot less yet Rush will not be Fired for this one since he seems IMMUNE from being fired from being a jerk because of who his friends are. Yet if someone dies he is the first to be the loudest on the to scream that the Democrats are behind it all regardless of who or what happens. I am sick and tired of hearing his hatred where is Rev Al Sharpton or Jessie Jackson when we need them to get him off the air.

Who cares what this loser said; he has no credibility outside his pathetic pack of mindless and mentally defective clones.
The time is here for us Liberals to define liberalism. We can no longer let it be defined for us by ignorant frauds like Limbaugh.

Michael is right about unfettered capitalism – but he is wrong on so many of his points/conclusions. Liberals go way overboard on taxation – it was the Bush tax cuts that have helped to give this economy such a low unemployement rate (along with other improvements, like job growth). Democrats have openly admitted they want to do away with those tax cuts – if they succeed, it will be the largest tax increase in history – and a disaster for a growing economy.
That is what the GOP wants – a growing economy that provides jobs, improved salaries, and low unemployment.
And finally, Michael resorts to name-calling. Aren’t you paying attention Michael? Vile and hate give you away – a liberal!

This is a country that loves to hate…it’s becoming more and more pathetic. We can’t voice an opinion without bashing someone. Put God back in our Schools and give us as Christians freedom of speech and you might see more love. But as long as we are being stiffeled by the liberal’s we will be bound for disaster. Ya’ll need to work on your problems…Thank God He’s has and will give me solutions.

I love you, Rush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know, all liberals hate women and drunk college students right? Yea that explains all those rich liberals and their grants to PBS, NPR, museums, women’s’ health care. Those darn Kennedy’s all there money to think they are really conservatives.
Rush is wrong. Most of the really rabid liberals come from very rich backgrounds. Take a look at who funds most of the charities around the country sometime.

In my country in the Philippines, those who “rail against the rich” as described by Mr. Limbaugh are the “poor masses”. They rail not at the rich but to the “inequalities” in opportunities, education, health services and civic rights. Our share of dictator, Ferdinand Marcos was quick to label them as communists or the left or the liberals just like what dictators in Latin America have done. This seemingly harmless albeit flawed logic by Mr. Limbaugh is a shameless and foolish description of those who “have” and those who “have not”, and the role that states have to promote the latter.

As any mental health professional can tell you, “normal” people are not easily classified. They may hold “liberal” views on some issues, “conservative” views on others issues. The more easily pigeon holed someone is, the more pathologic they are. It is intuitively obvious to anyone familiar with Mr. Limbaugh that he sees virtually every issue, every topic and every person in terms of liberal vs. conservative. Some profoundly mentally ill individuals commit murder. Other profoundly mentally ill individuals have successful radio programs. Go figure!

This is disgusting. 32 massacred people and their killer have not been dead a week. This kind of specious, foul commentary is the last thing people who have suffered such an outrage need to hear. Would Limbaugh say these remarks directly, in person to Cho’s devastated family, to the devastated families of Cho’s victims? At least Imus had the guts to take his lumps and face the Rutger’s women’s basketball team. When has Limbuahg ever faced anyone his remarks have targeted?

Hey guys,
You got duped by Rush. I actually listened to the broadcast, he said this tongue-in-cheek just to show how his critics quote him and have never heard his program. Here’s a knapkin, wipe the egg off your faces! lol!

RUSH IS AN IDIOT!!!
Pop another pill and blame liberal judges for your drug use you moron.

Rush has to remember: There are a lot more of the “poor” than there are rich, and that population is growing. The Cho event could inspire a “liberal” revolt, and it wouldn’t be without historical precedent.
Perhaps it has started…

This is more inappropriate Rush – it’s what got him fired from sportscasting and now he’s trying to outdo Imus at his own job. It would have been great if Rush might have shown he can feel feelings for the victims and their families. But he’s completely drunk on the “elixir” of poilitical polarity. Everything – EVERYTHING is politics and “lambaste the opponent” – even just for giggles after a harrowing tragedy. It’s not happening to Limbaugh and that’s why he can laugh jab and jeer. He will never get the memo – sort of like bad breath only worse. Much worse. And the real focus needs to be on the fact tha Cho, like 19 other bizarre school shooters and murderers, was on psychiatric drugs which are now known to CAUSE homicidality and suicidality. This is the one common link to ALL of these bizarre killings. Ban these drugs and jail their makers and there will be NO MORE of these kinds of killing sprees!

You actually listen to his broadcast? We didn’t get “duped” by him, since he is known for his preposterous remarks in the past. He has a lot of critics for good reason….

If ABC hadn’t stuck that pickled Hypo’s face on their home page, I would never have read his rant. It’s clear to anyone that R.L. is just another corporate clown. But, Rush didn’t mesmerize the public into an unprovoked war; ABC did. That begs the question: Who is more dangerous? ABC wins over R.L., hands down.

Rush Limbaugh is truly a disgusting man.

Pretty tasteless. But I’ve wondered about Rush’s mental stability for years. He used to play a character on the radio. Now I think he’s slipped into his own delusional world in which there are no greys — on the absolute rightness of his mean-spirited, dated, failed opinions.

Cho was certainly not anti-abortion.

Maybe Rush was talking tongue in cheek. I did not support Imus by not listening to him. Rush will leave the air when his sponsors are hit in their pocket book.

Limbaugh lives for this type of moral outrage. He feeds off it like a cancer. Limbaugh makes his living pissing liberals off. If he can make money off the backs of 30 dead students then it was a good day for Rush Limbaugh.

I feel disgusted and naseated when I remember that how this jerk rush would gets enthusiastic about his views. He is so arrogent. He is not only an addict but he is grandious too. I guess that a dangerous combination to be a conservative and grandious.

Stunningly stupid.

This too, shall pass…all the negative stuff isn’t helping, anyone….but, prayer will. So, why won’t you folks permit the healing begin?

So Cho was a pro-life conservative, then? hmm….

What I do not like about this is we have already lost sight of one thing. Students lost their lives, and there is not any reason to it. People are looking for reasons, and this is one persons theory. I say to Rush and every other person in the media, lets focus on helping VT heal, and lets honor those who have fallen!

Can we pull him off the air like Imus?

Why do we always insist on bringing politics into national tragedies? This is not a time for finger pointing or blame, it’s a time for healing and unity. It makes no difference whether Cho was a liberal or a republican. For once in its 231 year existence, America needs to unify and work as one to lift those hurting. For once, let’s leave the name tags at home.

One more thing. What Joy and Goodness does Limbaugh bring to the world? Any? I mean real joy that uplifts everyone. None? Is he neutral?

Boycott all news, and other media which gives this sociopath the space to spew hatred. We don’t want, or need more Imuses. I will do my part, I invite readers to do likewise

You want to know what I think?…Mr. Limbaugh should be of no interest to the people of the United States of America, as he has never had the best interest for his own country. This form of hate can only lead to more hate, creating a vicious cycle where one day we would only wish Mr. Limbaugh had never taken to the airwaves. But, I want to know what you think!? I want to know what ABC and the whole media thinks. I want to know why they do not go after Mr. Limbaugh like they do to others. This is a just cause for the media to step in and show the country what kind of criminal this man is.

We know that this was premeditated and deliberately and carefully planned. So of course it had to be done by a liberal. Liberals are always babbling on and on like, “let’s make sure we have enough ammo” this and “make sure to have enough body armor” that and “what if something goes wrong? We should plan for that.” No way a Republican did something like this.

I’d guess Cho to NOT be a liberal, based on what was reported about his fancination with guns and his negative comments about women’s rights of liberal dating behaviors. I can’t believe Limbaugh said Cho is a liberal just because Cho said he hated rich people. Since when rich people are equivalent to conservatives? There are plenty of liberal people who are rich.

Typical drive-by media tactic; quote Limbaugh out of context just to get more hits on their blog site and ”up” their declining ratings. Limbaugh has dealt with his addictions, can’t be fired, has been fired 7 times in the past, wasn’t always rich (in fact was down-right broke at one point) has the most listened-to talk radio show and in fact, pioneered the way for the rest who followed; A true American-dream success story. Nobody is always right but he has been documented to be so more than 90 percent of the time.
Many Years Rush!

He says things like this on purpose because he knows it gets him ratings. In fact, saying stupid things like that is how he got famous in the first place. Stupid people are attracted to these sort of statements and it makes them feel smart.

It’s possible you have lost your soul like Cho. You are as responsible as Hollywood, video games and the like for desensitizing the world to pain and death. You relish this… you love that this happened so that you can find a way to blame someone for the state of our world. Take a look in the mirror. I was raised in a republican family and because of people like you who speak for that party, I haven’t voted the GOP in 10 years.

Rush Limbaugh and his fans offer nothing to political discourse in this country except for blind hatred of anyone who doesn’t conform exactly to their way of thinking.
They are scary people, and Rush Limbaugh fails at being a good human being. He’s good at taking drugs and having sex trips to the Dominican Republic, but not so good at being a positive force for society.
His fans are even worse. I doubt most of them have made it through basic college.

This is much worse than the Imus comment. Imus was not making such crude comments about a national tragedy. Get Limbaugh off the air. He’s a disgrace.

What Limbaugh said was tasteless, but not anymore tasteless than the diatribe spoken at Corette Scott King’s funeral.
I read both of Cho’s plays posted on the web, and thought that it had phrases lifted from the far left. Something about Lennon… etc.
But then as an elementary school teacher I get to meet the future Cho(s) and McVeighs before they gravitate to one extreme or another.
Too bad we can’t do something to help them before they grow up. Instead of railing against people on both sides (full of hot air) who are not going to shoot or blow anyone up.

Another talk show host described Liberalism as a mental disorder, and after reading these rantings I believe it.

Limbaugh is out of his mind.

Rush was just doing what the liberals did to him and fellow conservatives. Remember OK City? Timothy McVeigh was an anti-government conservative. Matthew Shepherd was killed by Focus on the family supporters… all a bunch of lies. Liberals can dish it out but not take it.
It is important to study what happened so that we can avoid something like this in the future. The main thing to realize is just one year ago Virginia banned guns from college campuses. Yet, Cho still got a gun on campus. Did he care about breaking the law? Just goes to prove that once guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. (Besides, who’s to say what Cho did was wrong? after all, colleges do teach that there are no absolutes in morality. So who are we to judge?)
Finally, if one student or professor had a gun, they could have stopped the carnage immediately. Gun control kills.

Rush is right again, And the haters can’t stand getting it handed to them. Thats why they call him names like racist, maggot, stupid etc.Once again the truth hurts. Most Collage kids are liberal. So what deal with it.

So Joe Biden can blame the right, and there’s no outrage at all about that? Where was the media coverage of that?

What an idiot. If Cho was a liberal he wouldn’t own a gun. Also – he wouldn’t be shooting innocent kids and teachers – he’d probably be looking for a political pundit…well…like Rush. Get a grip! Why do you incite people Rush? Who cares what ideology Cho was interested in…he was a sick man…whatever…your only purpose in life is to get people upset about things. What a waste!

Seems like Cho was not on needed medications, but Limbaugh is, once again, on medications not needed.

Well, if he was a liberal that is one less we have to worry about!

Limbaugh sucks….always has, always will.

It’s possible Cho was a liberal. But there’s no doubt that Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda are conservatives.

How many shots had cho had in his body?
Why doesn’t release any cctv about the incident yet?
Didn’t the dom & clasroom have any CCTV?
That’s so misterry

I wouldn’t have said what Limbaugh said, so I’m glad he was willing to, because it needed to be said. I just hope he made it clear that it was liberal policies and fantasies that allowed the incident to become what it did.

If the truth fits, wear it. Cho was just delivering his “Letter to a Christian Nation” with a gun.

I think the important question here is, “who are the advertising sponsors of this ‘drug-addled gas bag’? What corporations are paying for a person reeling from a drug induced psychosis, to represent their products on the nations airwaves?
No one with any sense should give Limp-bow the time of day, he’s like the crazy man ranting on a street corner…just pass him by.

That figures, the libs are more upset about somebody’s words than at the freak who slaughtered 32 people.
The ranks of liberals are made up of freaks, life’s loosers, and the weak.
People like cho.

And we’re concerned about this comment about Cho being a liberal which comes from an idiot conservative with a drug abuse problem?
Rush Limbaugh is just another example of a conservative opportunist who will do ANYTHING to win. These people are sick and Rush is just another example – especially given his pill problem…

After reading these comments, i can see why some people can get a gun and kill other people. how many read the article?

If you had listened to Limbaugh that day he said watch this, I am going to make a comment that Cho was a liberal and Media Matters will pick it up without saying that I what I am saying is just to show how MM takes things out of context.

Rush Limbaugh’s drug addiction is a mental illness just like heart disease or diabetes is an illness. One can see the hatred with which some people would condemn Rush for his illness, something for which he has no fault.

This is a great demonstration of what Rush actually says: that Media Matters doesn’t listen to the program with any respect for context, and the drive-by media don’t listen either. They get their agenda and marching orders from the democrats at Media Matters. There’s absolutely no genuine reporting going on at ABC.
For all those anti-free speech people posting here, leftovers of the last Hush Rush campaigns, ever think of changing the channel? Ever think of respecting other’s rights to listen? Ever think?

How come the Rush haters can do nothing but call names. They prove the very point that he is referring to.

To drewkid
What is “basic college”? Is that like basic training?
You know, the fact that no one on the left can present a clear argument without resorting to name calling simply solidifies Rush’s point.
Take a step back and look what is acceptable in society and consider how it might have influenced this sick individual.

liberals say live and let live … but they mean on their terms. That is the whole basis for the thought/hate crimes laws now being put forward. As long as you say what is politically correct, then you are welcome. If you say something that is currently ‘hate’ to whatever group is currently ‘in’, then you get the shaft. If has already happened in Philadelphia and CA. People illegally arrested and tossed in prison for doing peaceful speech. It could be coming to a town near you.
On another note, how cold ABC be so dumb as to show some of Cho’s video and thereby glorify him? oh, thats right, they agonized over it for hours before deciding that it would make them lots of money.

Actually, it’s rather amusing to see the leftists (not liberals, but thieving socialists) attack Rush for having a drug problem, when they conveniently overlook the very same problem with Bill Clinton, the cokehead.
Fact is, one only need look at the websites of Cho’s teachers to see where his hatred of America came from…it came from them.

Rush did his job of rousing the masses but over what? He likes to get raises out of people just like Cheryl Crowe or Don Imus. People will respond to all kinds of bait if you make it ridiculous enough. No wonder the people running for office think they can get away with all their bull… look how emotional and outraged these comments are over unprovable speculation.

You da man Rush!! Mega Dittos!!

Could be. However, as with all such incidents, I’m going to wait a bit before I start taking most of what is said about this fiasco/tragedy seriously.

jim, my paranoid friend, what on god’s green earth are you talking about? are you saying that you are down with hate crimes? you make it sound as if you are offended that racist and sexist speech is no longer acceptable to shout at people. is that what you want, an acceptance of racism and sexism? what hate speech do you long for, jim? seriously, what are you saying? and, just out of curiousity, i live in philly, what are you refering to when you say that people were arrested and tossed in prison for “peaceable” [sic] speech? fill us in, thanks jimmy.

Limbaugh is manipulating (i.e. lying to) you. In the first paragraph he speculates about Cho’s ideology and concludes the guy must be a liberal because he rails against the rich. The subtext of all of this is since Cho must be a liberal, all liberals will shoot and kill people. How simplistic and stupid. He’s not stating a fact, he’s speculating – but what does he say at the end of the paragraph? This is how he lies and manipulates idiots who can only digest the most simplistic sound bytes. Rush loves to blame the drive by media for brainwashing the public and refuses to acknowledge that he’s riding shotgun – so to speak.

Gotta love how simpletons like Rush have to categorize everyone into two categories, and how most ABCNews readers buy into it.
Do things really have to be so black and white for you people? Cho couldn;t have just been psychotic, oh no. He has to be a liberal or conservative!

Rush Limbaugh Nov 8th 2006 after Republicans lost control of both hosues of congress:
“I feel liberated, and I’m just going to tell you as plainly as I can why. I no longer am going to have to carry the water for people who I don’t think deserve having their water carried.
There have been a bunch of things going on in Congress, some of this legislation coming out of there that I have just cringed at, and it has been difficult coming in here, trying to make the case for it when the people who are supposedly in favor of it can’t even make the case themselves — and to have to come in here and try to do their jobs.”
Why any of you people put any weight into words of a pathalogical liar is beyond my understanding. He defended the BS propagated by these people hoping you would continue supporting worthless leadership with worthless policies.

Of course this Cho was a liberal. Just listen to him rail against accomplishment and prosperiety just like all liberals do.
The class envy that “progressives” spout like a never ending chant was bound to lead to this.
Glad I’m heavily armed.

For all those dissing on the fans of Rush, Ann Coulter, etc. I want you to know that you are a lot of judgmental fruitcakes (which you claim not to be). I am very well-educated and charming as all git-out. Everyone LOVES me! Maybe not my politics all the time, but I’m reasonable and well-intentioned, not like the haters in this lot.
Ta-ta! :)

Ya’ll are a bunch of free speech haters, I tell yew wut. Now that Imus – a noted lib – has been thrown off the air (but he WILL be back as soon as the noise dies down, don’t you worry) you and Media Matters want to throw everyone off the air for expressing opinions…sometimes they are outrageous, explosive, and divisive. Get over it.
When was the last time you told someone, “no, you can’t say that…it’s divisive” in normal conversation? Or when was the last time you tempered your own opinions…and did people get up and leave the table because you were boring the hell out of them?
You leftos want to go back to the Fairness Doctrine and all that garbage and turn every talk show into NPR. My God, we’ll all die from the sheer boredom of it all. Man up, people. Seriously. You sicken me and I plan to sue anyone who even proposes the idea of objecting to free and open airwaves. You’ve been warned.

Rush Limbaugh gave the Senate to Democrats by taunting Michael J. Fox. Now he’s working on the presidency. Go fat boy!

I can’t believe the number of close minded people there are. Limbaugh said what he did about Cho to point out absurdity by being absurd. He even stated it in his monologue. It’s okay for those on the left to label people or groups(remember Hillary’s vast right-wing conspiracy)but it’s no way if a professing conservative does it. You people better start learning to think for yourselves, or you’re going to be led to a place you wished you hadn’t gone.

So much anger and name-calling….We should be talking with each other,not at each other…

on topic — this incident at VT has certainly become the vehicle for a lot of cheap policital points.
that’s a great approach to healing: use a horrific and violent attack as an opportunity to lash out at those who are ideologically different from you.
nice to see that things have quickly returned to normal. let’s face it – limbaugh’s listeners don’t want to hear him to talk about healing and reconciliation. that just wouldn’t do.

As a newcomer to this blog – it’s the first time I’ve seen it – I’m surprised and dismayed by the amount of anger and even hate that comes from people who disagree with Rush Limbaugh’s opinion.
Many of you want to see Rush Limbaugh off the air for the very reason that you disagree with his opinions and feel offended by them. While I’ve never listened to a whole Limbaugh show, I think you’re treading the edge of a very slippery slope there. If you can’t disagree with someone’s opinion without demanding that he be silenced, you’re well on the way to being silenced yourselves by someone who’s offended by your own opinion.
If you don’t like what he says, don’t listen to the show, don’t buy the products advertised there, and if your opinion as shown by your actions is shared by enough people, he will be off the air. The sponsors will take care of that for you. Unfortunately, I don’t see in most of the comments any reliance on the power of the market; instead I see people who want the government to censor anyone with whom they disagree.
I can understand how you think Limbaugh comes across as a blowhard. That’s why I haven’t heard one of his shows in toto. But he has a right to his opinion, and a right to voice it on the mass media, just as the New York Times has a right to editorialize using the massacre at VT as a basis.
There is far too much *ad hominem* attacking here to make me give much weight to the opinions voiced by those who use that tactic. When you attack someone personally rather than relying on facts to refute his argument, you give the impression that you don’t have reliable facts at your disposal.
Just MHO, but I think Limbaugh is right that hatred of the rich and of hedonism is, in fact, more characteristic of a liberal (as they call themselves today) than of conservatives.
Several people gave the classic definition of liberal. That is not what today’s “Progressives” are. Today’s Progressives are among the most intolerant people since the Taliban. See comment above about censoring someone with whom you disagree, using the power of government.
Likewise, some of today’s Conservatives are narrow-minded and intolerant as well, but they didn’t have to use the armed might of government thugs to put liberal Air America in the toilet. The market of ideas and the votes of listeners – as counted in dollars to sponsors – did that for them.
The subject of liberals and guns came up often. I know many liberals who own guns. It just seems to me that of that group, most want to severely limit the ability of anyone else to do so. Conservatives seem more laissez-faire about that issue. My opinion follows that of Professor John Lott; i.e., “More Guns, Less Crime.”
Some of you should be more careful of your spelling. An inability to spell words of more than seven letters, or carelessness in not spell-checking, undercuts your credibility. Maybe not fair, but a widely held view.

If you listen to Limbaugh,that is one thing.If you believe what Limbaugh says,that is quite another.His “talk show” is for sheer entertainment and nothing more.The man would’nt know a fact,even if he were married to it.Pay no attention to what this man says.

How wonderful it would be if individuals such as Rush Limbaugh would use their pulpits for leadership in times of crisis, rather than for mere entertainment.
Rush might have chosen a different path in the wake of this tragedy. He might have offered consoling words and sympathy to families whose lives have been shattered. He might have expressed deep concern that such an obviously sick and disturbed young man never received the help he needed. But to connect Cho to Liberalism somehow implies that Liberalism is the cause of Cho’s crime.
No doubt political ideology can lead individuals to take action of various kinds. But when those actions are criminal, extreme, horrific, and murderous, it’s no longer an issue of ideology. My liberal friends are just as horrified as I am (a conservative) with this tragedy, and just as far as I from committing the same crime themselves. So labeling Cho a liberal is not only far beside the point and irrelevant, but also truly divisive under the circumstances. It’s a new low for Rush Limbaugh. Wake up Rush and use your significant reach to offer leadership and class in difficult times, not blame and divisiveness.

Limbaugh is right. Cho also a liberal because he is a hater. All liberals are haters. Liberals hate rich people, they hate gasoline, they hate smokers, they hate baby fetuses, you name it. Their whole world is about hate. Republicans are Christians and we do not hate, much less commit mass killings like this one. So the proof is pretty much obvious that Cho is a liberal and Rush is right as always.

Rush has saved more lives than any Drive-By. Drive-By’s are too engaged with their liberal agenda to consider truth. Truth’s: 1) Gun Control Kills, self defense saves lives. 2) Liberals are for free speech, but only their’s. 3) Liberals foment Fear, Hate, and Envy to gain political control. 4) Historically Liberals have done the most evil. Most Dictators, Communists, Socialists, Assassins, and Terrorist organizations have been of the Liberal belief system. Result: Millions murdered. Rush preaches natural perfect truths: capitalism, individualism, and freedom. To be Free you must be Responsible and Brave.

…You know who else was a liberal?
Jesus Christ.
That darn hippy ran around telling everyone to sell all their wordly possessions and give the money to the poor. Oh, and the whole “if some guy (quote from memory) wants your coat, give it to him along with the shirt underneath” deal.
So be heavily armed. You know you’re making the baby Jesus cry.
—————————————-
Off Topic-but true:
Interesting post, the first thing that came to mind for me is:
In our present world, there is probably a 50-50 chance that ‘baby Jesus’ would have fell victim to an abortion clinic.
As for Rush-everyone knows the guy is ‘right wing’ and most of his comments are meant to ‘shock’ people. That is what he is paid to do.

Hm. Religious babbling in his manuscript sent to NBC news and ranting about “hedonism” makes him sound closer to a Theocrat than anything else; add in the firearms use, and the evidence for a right-wing position sounds more credible than for a left-wing position.
How do I explain his ranting about the wealthy? Probably a social justice matter, tied in with his religious worldview. Fiscal liberal, social conservative… yeah, that sounds about right.

All these liberals comments make me sick. It just proves that liberals and so-called “progressives” are the ones suffering from a mental illness. The inability to distinguish right from wrong.

You people with the drive by’s this the drive by’s that, get a life. Have any of you had a original thought lately, or do you just regurgitate everything Rush spews out?

Cho did not support gun ownership for his victims.

Just look at Limbaugh’s credibility……
1)Has Dick (mr. crediblilty) cheney on his show as a guest.
2)Fired from espn for racist comment.
3)Was (maybe still is) addicted to prescription painkillers and illegaly dr. shopped
Why would anyone not believe what he says??????

32 people lost their lives just last week. There are families, friends, and significant others suffering. They don’t need people like Limbaugh or Newt Gingrich (yes, he’s playing the exploitation game, too) milking this tragedy. More importantly, they don’t need US fighting and finger-pointing.
Let’s just stop it!

These somewhat ridiculous comments about liberals are precisely that … ridiculous. In the US it seems that liberalism is a dirty word. But you are right – liberals are responsible for the shooting … the liberals who insist that the US must have such liberal gun laws.

If the drive-by media were to do a little research, they would find that America’s prisons are full of – you guessed it – LIBERALS.
Is anyone surprised?

LOL, way to go Mr. Limbaugh in vetting this as the liberals here including Jake Tapper bit on this just as you knew they would.
They never will understand truth nor your effective teaching style. You can trigger an anal reaction from them with one sentence to get them screaming.
Congrats.

some of you here don’t have respect to limbaugh…and gary,you don’t respect Jesus either.that’s why america is in a mess.

One poster said “That Rush Limbaugh. What a strange little man. Besides, liberals want gun control, right?” – WELL…Cho WAS for gun control – he went on his rampage in a “gun free” zone, where only the “authorities” were armed. That is what Liberals want, then they act surprised and wring their hands when those places are ravaged buy nuts who don’t obey laws.

Limbaugh blames liberals for everything, but it’s sad to see him exploit this tragedy for the sake of a little publicity. He’s a first-rate slimeball.

Right wing nuts blame everybody under the sun for their personal problems, so this makes no sense whatsoever. The one saving grace — right wing mouthpieces these days aren’t so smart so at least for now we’re safe from their progroms and concentration camps, and that’s a good thing.

“Well Cho certainly wasn’t a conservative. He exhibited the liberal mentality: it’s everyone else’s fault, the rich are evil, women are to be disrespected. He wrote trashy violent stories in english a la hollywood. And the “rules” don’t apply to him, ie. the law against murder.”
You call that liberal mentality?
-Blaming the masses, not the individual
-Envying the rich
-Sexism
-Flagrant libertarianism
Sounds like a conservative to me.

“Half of the comments revolve around banning Rush. That’s the trend these days, ban spanking, ban speech, ban campaign ads, ban radio personalities…etc. Of course the people proposing all the bans are the first to call someone a “fascist”. The point of free speech is to express your own views in order to combat other free speech that you don’t agree with. Are people so insecure in their own views that they must ban anything they don’t agree with. Grow up!”
I’m not sure where you’re getting your statistics. In fact, I just searched through all of the comments on this page and the ONLY people who use the word “ban” are you and a few other Rush supporters who are claiming liberals want to ban Rush and free speech in general. While we evil liberals may not agree with the drivel that Rush spits out, none of us here have even remotely suggested that he should be legally kept from saying it. Take off your tinfoil hats, then do yourself a favor and actually spend some time listening to what the other side has to say.

Rush is Right.

I find that Slave, is the only one who gets “it.”

What poor taste to even blame either side at this point, just let the families have their time to greive. There are obviously more factors that compelled this young man to do such a thing; understanding the mental condition and attitude of the perpetrator of such a terrible thing should be the real goal here.

The only people I know who are seething with resentment towards the rich are liberals. It must be a miserable life to wack up each morning and start one’s day with “Who can I hate today?”.

I actually listen to Rush on a daily basis and from what I’m hearing he’s NOT blaming video games or anything of the sort. Rush has made it clear that the shooter made a vile choice and is responsable because he made that choice, and nothing FORCES you to shoot people.
That said, in regards to the comment, look at the first line, first word, “If”. So considering this is a hypothetical situation int he first place, we need to look at WHY the shooter hated America.
In short, class envy and hating “the rich” which sadly enough is something we see on the left FAR more then the right. When was the last time you heard a republican screaming for higher taxes on the rich so that we can provide more public transportation?

Rush was right on.
I was listening to this broadcast when this bit came on and was reminded of the slurs that Clinton and others made against Rush and conservative radio in general over the years. From the text of Cho’s diatribe it’s clear that Rush was exactly right.
Good man, Rush!

That is really something. I am impressed that Rush only needed 7 days to take a great national tragedy and make it liberal vs. conservative thing. He is contributing to the rot of civic democracy.

Rush way out of line here.
This guy has his facts wrong. I recall the Clinton remarks, and he most definitely was referring to Limbaugh. He even said something to the effect that he (Rush) had three hours every day to attack Clinton.

Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? Sorry, but ALL BETS ARE OFF when some freaking nut case kills 32 people them himself; it’s in a whole new category all it’s own and there is NO WAY you can classify it politically, and if you try, you end up looking like, well… Rush!

Rush Limbaugh is crazy. How can you guess the political orientation of a dead person, and how can you connect that as the “cause” of his actions – shooting innocent people?
The irony is that Rush is using the free speech that is so very valuable to the Liberals to attack them! It evokes the picture of a man axing his own legs!

Many people will use this terrible tragedy as an excuse to put through a political agenda other than my own. This tawdry abuse of human suffering for political gain sickens me to the core of my being. Those people who have different political views from me ought to be ashamed of themselves for thinking of cheap partisan point-scoring at a time like this. In any case, what this tragedy really shows us is that, so far from putting into practice political views other than my own, it is precisely my political agenda which ought to be advanced.
Not only are my political views vindicated by this terrible tragedy, but also the status of my profession. Furthermore, it is only in the context of a national and international tragedy like this that we are reminded of the very special status of my hobby, and its particular claim to legislative protection. My religious and spiritual views also have much to teach us about the appropriate reaction to these truly terrible events.

Cho had to have been a Liberal; that is a “given”. He certainly knew who his media “friends” were whom he could count on to exploit his last demented despicable diatribes for immediate, yet censored, public consumption. Rush’s astute observation is obvious, but may not be relavant or warranted at this time.

Marx Communism teaches hatred for the rich which causes class struggle. Hitler taught hatred for certain races which causes race tensions. Wake up America, Rush is right. These philosophies are taught in our liberal public schools.

Well I never heard any right wing republicans go on and on about rich people with their gold and trust funds. So there might just be a little truth to what he said. Is that to thick to swallow for some? I guess so since there were so many liberals that apparently read this story. lol And then to top it all off cho blames everyone but himself for his problems! sound familiar? Sad really, to see it all in a death video, I thought only really sick suicide bombers did that

To Judy, who posits that if 25% or more (or any for that matter) of trained, armed students carry concealed firearms more deaths and, basically, rampant shooting of innocents would occur daily. To that I have to say, What a crock! I live in a medium-sized city where we have concealed carry permits available, and the only people who seem to get shot are gangsters (who do not have concealed carry permits and do not have legally purchased firearms) or criminals, including armed assailants, rapits, etc. It was once said that an armed society is a polite society. Look at Australia. They removed the firearms from the law abiding and cannot figure out why the criminals still have guns and crime has just shot through the roof. If there were an armed individual in that classroom, then game over for Cho. Sorry to present the truth to you, I know it hurts.

This is just the Oxycontin talking, right? ….and remember, drug addicts should all be imprisoned; no appeals, no parole.

All you who claim to be conservative but don’t like Rush are most likely lying. That’s like saying you’re a liberal(funny how so many of them don’t like to admit it, though)and then saying you don’t like Bill Clinton. Oh yeah, I forgot…libs think nothing of stabbing each OTHER in the back, too. That’s what haters do and no one knows how to hate more than a leftist liberal. And what hypocrites they are because they claim to be all peaceful and loving. Also, I wonder just how many of these posts are by the same liberal people, trying to make their opinions seem more popular. They’re especially known to do that.

Liberal? Conservative? Deeply disturbed individual picked on by his rich neighbors throughout high-school for his family’s occupation of doing the rich neighbor’s laundry?

Gosh, you gotta love hate-filled right wingers.
First they demand free access to guns and then they blame everybody but themselves for all the gun violence.

Shorter Limbaugh — all bad people are liberals.
This reminds me of the phase of desperation the Dems were in a number of years ago when they couldn’t come up with anything better than “all conservatives are mean.”

To say Cho was a liberal is as arbitrary as bringing up the fact that Hilter was conservative. It’s just Limbaugh being his normal, extreme right-wing self.
And if I recall correctly, evidence points in the direction that Jesus was a liberal. Let’s see, Hitler or Jesus????? I’ll take number two.

RUSH said, you guys will fall for the bate!!! SUCKERS

The fact still stands that you are 22 times more likely to shoot someone you know than to shoot an assailant with your firearm.
The myth of the lone citizen stopping a criminal is just that, a myth. If you have a gun you are MUCH, MUCH more likely to be that criminal in a moment of passion.

Take another vicodin, Rush. Talk radio is inhabited by a bunch of guys who have degrees in broadcast communications. They’re not political scientists, they’re not civics experts; they’re guys with good radio voices and opinions that are just ‘out there’ enough to get them noticed. Take away Rush’s show or Hannity’s show, or Elder’s show and they’re stuck giving away tickets to the kiddie concert at the mall and reading the news and weather at the top and bottom of the hour. Rush is a radio personality, take away the venue and he ceases to exist.

Well I think all drug addicts are liberals. So come out of the closet Rush!!
Sounds stupid doesn’t it Rush

Limbaugh is in this for money. His show is an entertainment venture. It’s a business. His show is not meant to provide fair comment, ethical content, or balanced and fair material. He has lucrative sponsors. Splashy, irreverent, controversial, fictitious statements like this keep his show going, keep people talking, and keep his program on the air and his pockets full of $$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Ok, if we’re guessing peoples political leanings based on their rantings then that would make Hitler a conservative – right?
And now that we know this – what does the political views of two insane people have to do with the price of tea in china?
Bravo to Rush for getting us all to yell at each other for nothing – again. It must be worth a .0005% in his ratings.

I guess this is tit for tat, after so many people tried to say McVeigh was a conservative…
The truth is, these nutjobs aren’t liberal or conservative — they’re insane, hateful, and honestly believe that killing people leads to a higher purpose.
As to Rush’s statements… he’s an entertainer, and he entertains conservatives… are you surprised?

The crassness of Limbaugh’s “joke” about Cho’s liberalism is obvious enough. As I’ve pointed out on my own blog, the idea that it’s okay because he was merely “joking” fails on two levels. First, the sort of joke Rush claims to be making is offensive in and of itself, regardless of whether it’s understood to be a joke or taken seriously. Secondly, he said, in the same breath as he was claiming to be joking, that he really thought liberalism was responsible.
As a professor of rhetoric, the more interesting question is how does a thoughtful person respond to such “jokes” in a way that both defangs them, but doesn’t stoop to his level (thereby legitimizing Limbaugh’s tactics).
Ted

SeungHui’s case is NOT against rich and famous.
I have been looking at this case very carefully since the biginning, maybe because I am a Korean, and I felt this case is similar to the movie “Carrie(1976)”.

So you liberals (marxists) are prejudiced against “fat” people ? All i hear is discriminatory ranting insults about Rush’s weight…hypocrites, get the speck out of your eyes AND Stick to the issue which are his comments. of course you never do. He’s right and you are just so wrong…so just get over it. Morality and ideas preempt all behavior. So Change your beliefs which have killed more people and ruined more lives than the nazis and your brethren communists put together.
Liberals don’t believe in character (see clinton and kennedy) or freedom. only control and manipulation. all their rhetoric is just to cover up their real agenda- a one world political and economic system with all people subservient.

Rush Limbaugh is a putz. The nation is grieving along with Virginia Tech at this horrid and senseless act and all Limbaugh wants to do is sling mud at his political opponents turning this somber moment into a spectacle. Get a life Rush. There is enough scandal on both sides of this circus you call politics. Cho was a demented and evil individual. He was an extremist which are people who exist on both sides of the political spectrum. Grow up and stop acting like an ass. I’m sure you would just love to take attention away from the fact that your little Bushy might be impeached before he has the chance to bow out gracefully. Real Americans can actually reach out to those who have differing world views. Way to be insensitive…like I said…you’re a putz.

Rush is a drug abuser and he doctor shops, going to doctor after doctor to get the same prescription over and over. One should ask oneself “what would ONE MAN need with over 2,000 prescription pills of the same kind?” Is he somehow afraid that some day he will RUN OUT of said medication? Ha! Haa! No conservative will ever even wonder about a scenerio such as this, because conservatives would then have to admit their “right hand man” is a dope addicted drug abuser. Hence, his self-righteous, know-it-all attitude, “do as I say, not as I do”. I think he is a STONER! One day when he OD’s, conservatives will find this out.

Rusty (his real name)Limbaugh is about as phony as they come. He was fired from about every job he ever had until he found payday with the conservative shtick. Here is a guy who avoided Vietnam with an ingrown hair on his ass, yet has the guts to give opinions on why we should be in Iraq. Been married three times, the last one still married when he met her. He is an admitted drug addict who for years went on about locking up drug addicts, yet his situation was different (as they always are). Thinks that employers should not be made to pay health insurance for people who have questionably lifestyles…did HIS employer pay for his cochlear implant that many feel was a direct result of abusing Oxycontin? Give me a break.
