Rush the Fathead calls Museum shooter "leftist."

Edited on Thu Jun-11-09 12:00 PM by Archae

No, El Stupido, he was a far-RIGHTIST. So far right he fell off the keyboard onto his head, many times.

1. FWIW he hated neo-cons

so I'm not sure that would classify him as "far right"

7. Lots of paleo-cons hate neo-cons.

It doesn't mean they're anything but far-right. I'd say this guy was definitely a paleo-conservative.

27. Yes it would.

When you're as far right as he is, the bedfellows get pretty strange.

2. Rush is an ENTERTAINER! Why do people get so worked up about the things he says?

It's like arguing with Andrew Dice Clay that he paints an inaccurate picture of women.

9. There will ALWAYS be people who believe in that tripe.

Rather than dispute his statements, I think we'd be further ahead casting him as the entertainer he is.

19. I don't know about that...some Conservative guy talking...

on a local public radio show the other day...quoted Rush Limbaugh on U. S. policy to
the show's host.

I think some of these Conservatives are going crazy not knowing who their leader is and who to parrot.

3. He's twisting things

since it was revealed the nutcase was anti-Christian as well as an anti-Semite, and a truther and he hated Bush and Cheney and blah blah blah.

8. If the Freepers are any indication, it's the fact that he's a birther

that's causing his fans the most concern.

You know, craziness by association.

11. Sounds like a Ron Paul supporter to me

Equally insane as the other far right-wingers.

17. well, actually

well, he may not have been a Paulista but TPM is reporting that on June 1 the shooter transferred his website to a supporter in Michigan. The phone number of the guy who took over the neo-Nazi site is the same as the woman who was the coordinator of Ron Paul's Michigan campaign operation.

18. Wow, what a small world? Whudda thunk it?

Proving once again, that the Ron Paul arm of the Republican Party isn't the "more right" version of their party. The whole thing is filled with terrorists and extremists.

4. Maybe Von Brunn IS more left than Rush

Maybe Von Brunn isn't radical ENOUGH for Rush.

12. Rush can tell any lie he wants to.

He could take a crap in a carton and call it ice cream and his ditto heads would eat it up and ask for more.

21. He was a US military veteran and a member of MENSA!

This should confirm anything bad you want to say about MENSA.

You know, it would also fit his belief profile if he ate organic food.

In fact, I bet he did! By the Limbaugh standard, this constitutes proof: He's an organic food eater!

And this is not the first time organic food was eaten by a cold-blooded killer. Well-known progressive leftist and revolutionary Adolf Hitler, a post-card artist who declared war on America, was a vegetarian.

Organic food consumers need to reexamine the horrific impact of their ways.

Ah, never mind: Get them! Get WHOLE FOODS!

28. He's referred to as BOSS Limbaugh now.

The fact of the matter is, many republicans look to him for leadership (or at least talking points).

23. Had a Rwer explain that to me once...

Apparently, Nazis are all "left wing" because it says Socialist in their name. See? Right there. They are socialists, and therefore they are left wing fanatics.

:shrug:

The real rationale is that they think that nobody on the Right could ever do anything like this. So all violence must be "left wing."
