On Hardball: Journalist Links Rush Limbaugh to Holocaust Museum Shooting
newsbusters ^ | June 19, 2009 | Geoffrey Dickens

Posted on 06/10/2009 4:24:14 PM PDT by cdchik123

Salon’s Joan Walsh, on Wednesday night’s "Hardball," cited "conservatives" like Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin and Bill O’Reilly for "whipping up" a climate that sparks the likes of alleged Holocaust Museum shooter James Von Brunn and "Hardball" host Chris Matthews wondered if access to guns were to blame as he cried, "It’s easier to get your hands on a gun than to get somebody to make you a waffle."

The following exchanges were aired on the June 10 edition of "Hardball":

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Joan Walsh this is a political action today by a far right extremist. I just wonder what's in the water, what's in the air as we speak?

JOAN WALSH, SALON: Well I wonder too, especially in the wake of the murder of Dr. George Tiller who performed abortions, another, another really unhinged right wing nut job. And, and I want to be very careful here Chris. The only people responsible are the people who pulled the triggers. Unless we find out that these guys had help, that may be a different story. But from what we know now the people responsible are the killers. However I don't think you can deny that there is a rising climate of right wing hate, a lot of it directed at Obama. You and I go way back to the beginning of the campaign and the level of craziness. He's a secret Muslim. He hates America. He wasn't born here. Now this guy, Von Brunn, he's, he, he was one of the birthers. He didn't believe in Obama's birth certificate and he was constantly online agitating about that. There is a very disturbing and disturbed element of political discourse. And I would, I would throw in Rush Limbaugh.

“It’s easier to get your hands on a gun than to get somebody to make you a waffle.”

Classic.

On the same day that Obama’s mentor for 20 years says, “Them Jews...”

Birds chirping.

I still don't understand why the media would call someone from the National Socialist Party a right winger.

It's standard propaganda from the MSM; equate "right" with "evil". It has nothing to do with the political spectrum and everything to do with Alinsky style propaganda.

Was this not coming from a liberal it would be unbelievealbe. Someone named von Brunn hasn't long to live under the best of circumstances and decides to take out some “Joos” before he goes. He couldn't be insane, a nazi, a guy who lost his life savings due to the Baaaknee Fwank sponsored housing crash, he can't be any of those things. The only possible explanation is that he listened to talk radio, one talk host in particular, the same way the Son of Sam listened to the neighbor's dog.

Man will the next four years, at a minimum, be interesting times.

Regards

EXCLUSIVE TO THE DAILY PRESS

Rev. Jeremiah Wright says “Jews” are keeping him from President Obama

Did Chrissy mention Wright today?

The word “hate” suddenly makes a comeback, after 8 years of hate.

Hmm...I didn't notice anyone commenting on who whipped up the hate that resulted in the two soldiers in Little Rock being shot. One dead. Anybody remember them?

Oh, yeah. Doesn't fit the agenda. Never happened.

Deserves a bump.

“Gee I thought Rush supported Israel and opposed the Holocaust.”

That is exactly right. If anything BHO and the left instigated this with their anti Israeli rhetoric.

I was going to say thought it was O'Reilly's fault..no that was the late term abortionist Tiller who boasted he did 100 abortions a week.

No one writing it was Bush's fault as yet?

"Von Brunn was active as a producer of anti-Semitic tracts for decades..writes The Washinton Post".

Maybe it was the Reverent Wright's fault???

The aging James Von Brunn acted on his own after his hatred got the best of him. Praised & Bumped by those on the Stormfront page where on like sites he chose to hang out.. which the MSM conveniently failed to mention. FR, specifically has been mentioned, however.

Col. Ralph Peters (former intel) was on Cavuto today and made some FANTASTIC POINTS! He told Cavuto he had to say he watched Fox news this last hour and was saddened by what he heard. (Talking about Shep’s comments about Dept. of Homeland report being validated.) He said “This is a career nut, not career military! 10 million people served in WWII so are we going to site them as dangerous potential terrorists? He has been out of the military for 64 yrs!! What we are seeing lately is a dangerous convergence of extreme left haters and extreme right haters. Anti-Zionism is getting to be over the top! Was the security guard who died a military veteran? There are approx. 300 million people in America. 1 percent of those is 3 million and that may well be how many nutcases we have running around.” Cavuto told him he was great in the points he was making. I bet his interview will be on YouTube later.

Hussein is the mortal enemy of Jews and will be responsible for the deaths of thousands of them if he gets his way.

I think the shooter probably was listening to Husseins "preacher" and was was doing something about the Jews that are keeping Hussein Baraka from speaking with him.

These asshole talking head propagandists will have a legitimate bitch when Hussein starts to deal with them the way Putin and Chavez deals with his opposition in the press.

Many of von Brunn’s political views line up on the “left” not the “right.”

He hated both Bushes. Mocked Goldwater as a Jew. Railed against neocons. Big time 9/11 denier. Despised big business (all owned by Jews). Defender of Palestinans.

Sounds like KOS reader to me.

Assuming the geezer wasn’t in some age related dementia state of mind, I suspect the Demjanjuk case may be what sent him over the edge.

Limbaugh is scared of guns.

He is INNOCENT, I tell you!

Thanks for the corrections. I agree with them.

The list will be long.

Just MHO, but the shooter had anti-Semitic feelings for years and if dementia is thrown into the mix, anything can happen.

I saw this in my own grandfather. He was a terrific, heroic man, another WWII veteran of the 509th Airborne. As he got older dementia started setting in and he’d become violent...something NOT in his nature.

This is just the kind of incident the Obamination uses to attack conservatives. Truth doesn’t matter.

Well, they were not really corrections. Just a more positive way of looking at things.

Rush taught me that. Although, at times, I find it VERY hard to do so!

Much easier to make someone else’s words positive then my own!

So, thank YOU!

he was a defender of Palestinians? This is needed talking point against the obvious talk that he hated “Marxists” and wanted a copy of Obama’s birth certificate that the left is trying to show.

Where did he mock Goldwater as a Jew or rail against neocons? I believe you i’d just like to see it.
