This almost can't possibly be true, except sadly it is.  And, even sadder, millions of people actually LISTEN to this crap.  Yes, Rush Limbaugh said this:

the dream end of this is that this keeps up to the convention and we have a replay of Chicago 1968 with burning cars, protests, fires, literal riots, and all of that. That's that's the objective here.

As one commenter at Crooks and Liars asked, "Did I just hear Rush Limbaugh trying to incite riots? In all of our new PATRIOT ACT type laws, surely there must be a law against conspiracy to incite violence." Good question.

He's also calling for arson (True Blue - 4/25/2008 8:55:55 AM)
Looks like inciting domestic terrorism to me.

850 koa is the denver equvalent of wmal 630, full of right wing nazi commentators

They were outraged at Rushes denver violence comment.
So far, I dont see the follow through, which is to suspend rush, ( Maybe fire him).
Like weeds, someone just as contemptable would take his place.

Republicans, they never let you down!

Arrest him take the stations licenses (humanfont - 4/25/2008 10:04:01 AM)
This has to be illegal.  You can't use your radio show to incite violence.  You can't let your radio station be used for incite this kind of violence.  Call the FCC.

Sorry, folks. I've seen this case law exploited by one particular hater for years now.
And this is what the hater in question had to say about this whole thing (I'll not favor him with a link):

LIMBAUGH PULLS A "HAL TURNER"
CALLS FOR "RIOTS" AT DEMOCRAT CONVENTION

Most popular radio host in America said he dreamed of riots in the streets, cars overturned and neighborhoods burning. Sound familiar? Gee. . . . . who else on radio says things like that? ME!

Yeah, it's a pisser....but it is what it is.
Ignore, ignore, ignore.
They hate it when you do that.
