- RubMe4Luck, on 10/12/2007, -27/+218He tends to say stuff like this when he hasn't had his fix.
- Konrad9, on 10/12/2007, -6/+127Seriously, who cares what kind of political alignment this guy had.
You know what he shot people? Because he was a ***** lunatic. Crazy. ***** insane.
It wasn't videogames, it wasn't the media, it wasn't space aliens, it was his own messed up little brain that made him do it.
The only person we have to blame for this is him. - Abennobashi, on 10/12/2007, -17/+128I don't think you guys realize this, but he's saying these things to get everyone pissed off. He's been doing it for 20 years.
- kidd3ckz, on 10/12/2007, -35/+118Limbaugh is a pedophile.
I'm just pointing out a fact. - JrGhoull, on 10/12/2007, -7/+73being pissed about not being rich doesnt make you a liberal.
- jbus, on 10/12/2007, -12/+65@ MaynardJK
Conservatives in this country helped put the Neocons in power. Whether they knew what they were doing or not, they still played a big part in doing so. - libertao, on 10/12/2007, -19/+57Limbaugh "had to be a drug addict" to say something this stupid.
- sysoprock, on 10/12/2007, -19/+51Lets weigh the facts....
Conservative: The dude liked to kill people.
Liberal: He was going to college.
It's a tough call. - vikramkr, on 10/12/2007, -13/+43Rush Limbaugh is a piece of *****.
- venicerocco, on 10/12/2007, -18/+48Well Hitler was conservative and he killed more than Cho. Just sayin'
- wtfersk8s, on 10/12/2007, -19/+47Limbaugh is in constant need of attention. He'll say anything just so people will listen to him. Just give him his drugs so he'll keep to him self.
- ne0shell, on 10/12/2007, -12/+40It's not "funny" or "Satirical" - it's just pathetic. These guys are working so damn hard to try to keep people locked into the false left .vs right paradigm that they have to go out and begin labeling non-political behaviour as political. How can so many of you not see this for what it is? They aren't even good at it folks, I knew kids in 3rd grade who could manipulate with much more sophistication.
The Neocon "Right" - that liberal, hippy terrorist lover over there is a fag...
The Liberal "Left: Yeah well, neocons are ***** with more money than sense..
Sorry, but both of these guys are ***** losers - JimV, on 10/12/2007, -14/+41He put the bait out there and you all bit.
- diggerphelps, on 10/12/2007, -9/+35Hitler also had a mustache.
- MaynardJK, on 10/12/2007, -27/+52I don't know how conservatives can be F-ing up the country when there isn't a single real conservative in power.
Neocon != conservative - Aggaman, on 10/12/2007, -6/+27"Check your references before calling someone out that was actually right. Nazi does equal National Socialism. Nazis are part of the far left, anyone who tells you different is brainwashed by some blog."
Unhappily, I have to inform you that you are an utter ***** with the IQ of a worm. If you think that "National Socialist" means that they were lefty socialists, then I guess you must believe that the "Democratic Republic of Korea" is in fact a democracy (if it wasn't, why would they call it "Democratic"... duh).
But if you believed that, you'd be the biggest utter ***** moron on digg.
Oh wait...
Nazism is by no means an ideology of the left. If you want a bad leftist ideology, you have Stalinism. - SqueakyWheel, on 10/12/2007, -5/+24Liberal: wanted to kill "Rich" people
Conservative: Bought a Gun - SeaMowse, on 10/12/2007, -27/+42What an assclown. He has to blame the Liberals everytime something goes wrong with this country. Hey... wait - ain't it the Conservatives who are F-ing up this country?
- mntbikeracer1, on 10/12/2007, -11/+24@MaynardJK
Exactly I am a conservative to the core but I cannot think of one person in office that really represents the true ideals of being a conservative. Just one example is that a true conservative stands for smaller government, seems to me both the Liberals and Conservatives will not be happy until they control what time of the day you are allowed to take a crap at.
That said I hope this guy turns out to be a neither because so many retarded arguments are already being used to further polarize this country that this shouldn't be another one. - TheIguana, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18Or perhaps he was simply mentally ill... Oh wait thats not controversial or bashing enough for Limbaugh!
- Afreyt, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16See, that would hit Limbaugh too close to home.
- coprolite, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14This guy's a male. So it's a male that committed this act. I'm just pointing out a fact.
This guy's South Korean. So it's a foreigner that committed this act. I'm just pointing out a fact.
This guy wrote bad plays and poetry. So it's an English major that committed this act. I'm just pointing out a fact.
etc, etc. - trilks, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14I'm waiting to see how he'll blame this on Clinton...
- oceanmoon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Why did Cho have to "be" anything?
Reading articles in the last week, this tragedy has been blamed on everything from video games to autism to being a loner to anti-depressants. How about he was sick, troubled, and deeply disturbed...and that perhaps we don't know why some people do terrible things? - v4r4n, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12@konrad9
"The only person we have to blame for this is him."
Actually that kid was probably bullied and tormented throughout his childhood in addition to his overwhelming loneliness, all for reasons out of his control. His parents brought him to a foreign country and he already had enough problems just speaking his normal native tongue.
He needed a lot of help. More help than the government or anyone else was willing to give.
Life sucks, but there is a reason it is better to help people than to just try and ignore them... eventually they get fed up and start acting out... think about the hopelessness of a suicide bomber. - PhillipL, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10That'd be a horrible idea. Rush is one of the greatest assets that the democratic party has. He's spewing hate and he speaks for conservatives everywhere. As long as their mouthpiece includes a hate filled drug addict then the Dems win every time he opens his face to say something crazy or pop another oxy. People are waking up to the fact that guys like this are out to make a buck by hurting America and driving people apart. Let him speak because his free speech will help a dem win the presidency.
- archiesteel, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12msoule: "You must be a high school history teacher. The truth is Hitler was a Socialist. You might be familiar with the National Socialist German Workers' Party by it's more common name..."
Uh, no he wasn't. There are more differences between Hitler's philosophy and socialism than, say capitalism. For starters, private enterprises were allowed and indeed flourished under Nazi Germany (not socialist). These weren't state-owned corporations, either, but bona fide private enterprises. Also, he was heavily in favor of traditional roles for women (conservative point of view). He was opposed to homosexuality (conservative) and held racist point of views (one of the central tenets of socialism is that every human is equal to others and all belong to a single race, the human race). Though Hitler himself might have been agnostic (that remains unclear), nazism in itself made many references to religion, and the church was deemed an essential part of socity (as it was in facist Italy and Spain), while Socialism considers religion as the opium of the people. Socialism is internationalist in nature, while fascism and nazism are intensely patriotic, putting the fatherland before everything else. Nevermind that Hitler strongly opposed socialists and communists, and was an ally of Franco who also fought communists and socialists (and anarchists) in Spain!
Claiming that Hitler was part of the far left is a laughable attempt by right-wingers to get rid of one of the most embarassing skeleton in their closet. The truth is that Hitler (and Mussolini, and Franco) indeed represent the far right. Deal with it.
(And as for the name, well, as others pointed out, the nazis were as much socialists as the DPRK is democratic.) - theodicey, on 10/12/2007, -6/+14Most of Rush's listeners are pissed off about not being rich. Or there's something wrong with their life, which a little money would help fix. Why else would they listen to two hours of angry ranting a day?
But they don't think that makes them "liberal" -- because Rush says liberals are the bad guys.
The actual rich don't listen to Rush -- they think he's a clown. - rauz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10@geekee: national socialism is not socialism with a nationalistic skew...read up on your history.
- ShBm, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11NikoKun
I wasn't aware every conservative on earth said this. Holy ***** something's gone wrong! - venicerocco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9GeofG, you are an ass.
Cho's wasn't a couragous act, you dispicable moron. It was a suicidal act of extreme depravity and desperation by a poor man quite profoundly overcome by his depression, lonleyness and insanity. - dogstar0125, on 10/12/2007, -13/+20It's funny how similar Rush Limbaugh is to Rosie O'Donnell. They're both loudmouth morons who make plainly illogical and unsupported statements to promote their ideologies. They shoot their mouths off without thinking, then have to provide ludicrous rationalizations to avoid retracting their statements. Their viewpoints are so twisted that it's hard to see what ideology they represent. In the end, they represent obnoxious stupidity, thoughtlessness and lack of courtesy. Perhaps that's becoming a new political ideology all in itself.
- pinkSocks, on 10/12/2007, -12/+19Hitler was a conservative.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Cho had to "be something" because if he claimed to be Christian on one of his videos, it would've also been plastered here on Digg for the world to find another false reason to mock Christianity and somehow blame it on Bush.
- slappynutz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I say Limbaugh "has to be a douchebag"
- archiesteel, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11"Check your references before calling someone out that was actually right. Nazi does equal National Socialism. Nazis are part of the far left, anyone who tells you different is brainwashed by some blog."
Nazis are part of the far right. Virtually all historians and political scientists agree on that point. In fact, they have agreed on that point since the rise of nazism in the 1930s, a long time before either you or I were born, and even longer before blogs have existed. Just because neocons suddenly don't like being on the same ideological side as Hitler doesn't change this historical fact. See my post above for some (not all) of the ways nazism is incompatible with socialism. The feminist angle alone is enough to discredit your theory. - theodicey, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10Only difference is, Rush has millions of listeners, has sold tens of millions of books, and is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
And Rosie is about a tenth as influential in every respect. She doesn't even get her own show.
So you're drawing a false equivalence. - Afreyt, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9I have heard his program, and now I know better than to waste my time. There's nothing positive he could say that smarter people can't say better, and the idiocy he spews generally FAR outweighs his occasional moments of insight. A broken clock still tells the correct time twice a day. Some of us CAN think for ourselves and don't need Rush's asinine insights, and that you think his show is worth listening to, doesn't speak well of you.
- NSMike, on 10/12/2007, -19/+25This guy commits character assassination for a living and is a drug addict, and stays on the air, yet Don Imus makes a ill-conceived racial remark and we crucify him. Where has the sense gone in this nation?
- giggity, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Here's what Rush said.
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_042407/content/01125109.guest.html
RUSH: Oh, hey, there's no question you're right! Look, last week, as a means of illustrating on this show how the words of conservative talk show hosts are twisted and taken out of context, I blamed the liberals for the Virginia Tech shooting. I said the guy had to be a liberal, and I went through and I said, "You watch. There's going to be a website that picks this up, and a bunch of people are going to read it and they're going to be outraged that I would possibly say this," and they said, "Yeah, you got a guy that hates the rich. You got a guy that thinks the American culture is debauched. Who is it telling us all this and who is it doing all this? It's the liberals," and sure enough Media Matters fell for it hook, line and sinker. They had it up all over the place. Yet Friday at the National Action Network conference, "Sen. Joe Biden, a Democratic Party candidate ... blamed the Republicans for the Virginia Tech killings and a string of events that have made news in the past few years. [Biden said] Bush, Newt Gingrich and Karl Rove are responsible for what he called 'the politics of polarization.' ... 'I would argue, since 1994 with the Gingrich revolution, just take a look at Iraq, Venezuela, [Venezuela!] Katrina, [Katrina!] what's gone down at Virginia Tech, Darfur, Imus. Take a look. This didn't happen accidentally, all these things,'" are the fault of Bush, Gingrich and Karl Rove!
I was depressed when I read this. He left my name out of it! Usually I get blamed for this stuff. But nobody said a word! There's no website out there chronicling Biden blaming us. He was serious. He was serious! I was making a joke. I was just setting everybody up to show how this stuff works, although I do believe that it was liberalism that got hold of this guy and made him hate America. It was professors and this sort of thing, but hell's bells! Have you heard anybody complaining about Biden blaming Republicans for Katrina? What else? Katrina and...Darfur? We're responsible, our culture is. This "Politics of Polarization" has created a genocide in Darfur? The last thing I heard was that liberals were demanding Americans get there. We're not even there, how can we be causing it? Imus is one of the biggest liberals on radio and Bush and Rove are being blamed for that. Yet nobody noticed. So, yeah, if I or somebody else started doing the black dialect while speaking to a group of blacks as Mrs. Clinton did, of course it would be picked up on and we would be called racists and who knows? It's like if I'd answered the phone when you'd called Mike, and say, "Hey, dude, what it is?" The same thing would have happened. - laserblazer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Don't breed.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+11Everyone they don't like is a liberal, and every act, pedophilia, mass murder, drug smuggling, all liberals. The liberals did it all!
Basically non-stop propaganda on some conservative radio. - msoule, on 10/12/2007, -10/+15@venicerocco
You must be a high school history teacher. The truth is Hitler was a Socialist. You might be familiar with the National Socialist German Workers' Party by it's more common name...
@NikoKun
"Conservatives should not even be allowed into government of a free country"
Irony anyone? - InfidelAl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Is there anyone with higher ratings than Rush?
- strabes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4By killing people he demonstrates that he has no respect for the law and therefore would have obtained a gun illegally in order to commit the crime. If guns are illegal, the only people with guns are the criminals. It is naive and idealist to say that outlawing guns = no guns at all. Maybe if a law-abiding student had had a gun, the number of deaths could have been lowered. Violent crime increases when gun ownership decreases; it's a fact. All arguments to the contrary are simply typical liberal emotional hype.
- moocow1452, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6What's next, Bush is a liberal? Or worse, Rush himself is a closet liberal.
- lacronicus, on 10/12/2007, -6/+10both houses of the senate? and you vote? saddening.
in any case...
i happen to recall that it was a republican controlled congress that passed the patriot act, detained prisoners without a number of civil liberties, and got us into iraq, under the premise of protecting us against terrorism. certainly i dont agree with everything that the democratic congress has done, but theyve certainly done less to f this country up than their predecessors. - partytimeloser, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I read that and thought it was about Margaret Cho. Which would have been incredibly obvious.
- ssamyrabka, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Who shoulders the blame is 2 fold. What MORONIC LIBERAL JUDGE refused to prosecute this bastard. Secondly, why the HELL is VT and other universities all GUN FREE ZONES? Why does mass murder always have to happen in GUN FREE ZONES. I wished like HELL someone has blown this ***** away, Dirty Harry style.
