Has Rush Limbaugh had a drug relapse? That’s the only plausible explanation — other than blind contempt for the rule of law — for his call on Wednesday for rioting at the Democratic Convention in Denver this summer:
“Riots in Denver, the Democrat Convention would see to it that we don’t elect Democrats.”
– Rush Limbaugh

Talk show host Rush Limbaugh is sparking controversy again after he made comments that appear to call for riots in Denver during the Democratic National Convention this summer.

He said the riots would ensure a Democrat is not elected as president, and his listeners have a responsibility to make sure it happens.

“Riots in Denver, 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…

Several callers called in to the radio show to denounce Limbaugh’s comments, when he later stated, “I am not inspiring or inciting riots, I am dreaming of riots in Denver.”

Limbaugh said with massive riots in Denver, which he called part of “Operation Chaos,” the people on the far left would look bad.

“There won’t be riots at our convention,” Limbaugh said of the Republican National Convention. “We don’t riot. We don’t burn our cars. We don’t burn down our houses. We don’t kill our children. We don’t do half the things the American left does.”

Rightwingers certainly rioted in Miami during the 2000 recount, of course. And if by “killing children” Limbaugh was referring to abortions, there is no doubt that Republican women have had abortions when they felt they needed them. And the idea that all arsonists who burn down their own homes are Democrats is clearly just the opoids talking.

Last Sunday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich declared that “the left wing of the Democratic Party, frankly, kind of admires American terrorists.” He and Limbaugh ignore the fact that it is rightwing terrorists like American terrorists Timothy McVeigh, Eric Robert Rudolph, Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, the Klu Klux Klan, abortion clinic bombers and the rest, who have wreaked the most havoc on the country.

Limbaugh’s comments are potentially dangerous because no one takes him — except for the very dimwitted “Dittoheads” who might well heed his call and show up in Denver at the end of August ready to cause violence.
