The Denver Post has managed the amazing feat of criticizing Rush Limbaugh for supposedly calling for riots at this summer's Democrat convention in Denver while completely downplaying the role of the very organization calling for recreating 68 and all the problems of Chicago '68 that implies in their article provocatively titled Limbaugh dreams of DNC riot:
Rush Limbaugh says he is not calling for a riot in Denver during the Democratic National Convention — he only "dreams" of it, to the tune of "White Christmas."
The conservative talker discussed the possibility of Mile High unrest in August on his national radio show for a second day in a row Thursday.
"Now, I am not inspiring or inciting riots. I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming of riots in Denver," he said mimicking the holiday tune.
What the Denver Post failed to mention is that Rush sang that in an entirely satirical manner in response to a caller named Lisa on Thursday who accused Rush of being racist for having sung the tune, "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas." Since the caller also accused Rush of inciting riots in Denver because he has pointed out that Al Sharpton threatened demonstrations at that convention if Barack Obama fails to be nominated, Rush turned both accusations into a parody with "I'm Dreaming of Riots" in order to poke fun at both her accusations. Your humble correspondent heard this live on the air Thursday at a little before 1:00 PM and is surprised that the Denver Post has not bothered to do even the most basic research into the background of this.
Most amazing is that the Denver Post quoted an organizer of the organization Recreate 68 (symbol above) that does plan demonstrations in Denver but only as a way to slam Limbaugh:
Glenn Spagnuolo, an organizer with the protest group Re-create 68, called Limbaugh "a fool." We don't need another 5,000 illiterate Limbaugh listeners coming to Colorado," he said, mocking a comment this week by state Rep. Douglas Bruce, R-Colorado Springs, who called migrant workers "illiterate peasants" as he debated a bill to accommodate up to 5,000 guest workers in the state.
The only other mention of Recreate 68 was a quote by local talk show host, John Andrews, critical of that organization:
"Look, nobody seriously wants violence and civil disobedience at the Denver convention," he said. "Rush is just saying, 'Make our day'; if, in fact, the Re-create 68 hooligans or the Al Sharpton street toughs or anybody else wants to disrupt the convention, they're going to hurt Democrats' chances in the fall."
In stark contrast to the media outrage about Limbaugh's out of context remarks, there is a virtual wall of silence in the mainstream media about the organization actually planning demonstrations in Denver, Recreate 68. A visit to the Recreate 68 web page, Street Tactics, includes a link to their Action Planning Manual page which after you click on it you can see is also called "The Ruckus Planning Action Manual."
Of course, if you based your information solely on the misleading Denver Post article, you would have thought that Rush Limbaugh himself was the author of "The Ruckus Planning Action Manual."
And the Sheeples will believe the media...so it continues. Totally amazing how the media moved from news reporting to making news and promoting a political agenda.
The Denver Post is known as Leftist fish-wrap in Colorado.
Rush has nothing to fear. His beloved President Hillary will surely pardon him after all he’s doing to get her elected.
Totally amazing how the media moved from news reporting to making propaganda that promotes a Communist agenda.
There.
According to a caller to the Rush Limbaugh show yesterday, it seems they (Denver) are aiming to get something like 2,000 police to help them out.
I don't suppose the Governor has the National Guard at the ready, and had done so way before Limbaugh said anything about Recreate 68.
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒE
The media will not blame the people who plan the riot and actually riot, they will blame Limbaugh who simply points it out that there will be riots and states it will not be good for the democrats.
“RECREATE ‘68!” LOL.
A great post that's worth saving! I'll send in back to you the day after the election so you can eat it for breakfast.
It will be interesting to see how she can win if she isn’t the nominee. How will that work?
The MSM NEVER ceases to amaze me with their lies! I am absolutely dumbfounded at the misinformation out there in regards to this.
Of course, the DUmmies have begun another one of their “Not One Damn Dime Day” protests of Rush’s sponsors!!! LMAO!!!!
“It will be interesting to see how she can win if she isn’t the nominee. How will that work?”
Hopefully she steals it. Rush isn’t the only one dreaming of a White Christmas, I mean riot.=)
The media generally is in the habit of lying about Rush. They actually want the riots to happen, so that they can blame them on Rush.
Chicago in 2008 is hosting the other moonbat convention:
You really don’t have a clue, do you?
The “Recreate ‘68” idiots have been planning to stir trouble in Denver for months and the MSM has ignored them (probably out of professional courtesy). Now that Limbaugh is making a point of their (and Sharpton’s) antics the MSM jump on the anti-Limbaugh bandwagon.
On Tuesday, March 25, 2008, Limbaugh ... said, "Don't count the Clinton out. They can get the nomination: it's very plausible. Don't count out that the Clintons will steal the nomination with the super delegates." Then Rush said, "I love it, as commanding officer of Operation Chaos.
He wants her to get the nomination.
Only a fool thinks Obama is more formidable at this point.
He is throwing the nomination to the Clintons even after everyone else has figured out that Obama is easier to beat.
He's either an idiot, they have something on him or he's just doing all this because he thinks it will be good for his ratings to have the Clintons back in the WH.
I’ll stick with the chaos strategy, thanks. It seems to be working just fine....Obama gets the nomination after Clinton burns down the party and weakens him for the general election. So far, I don’t see any evidence that won’t happen.
