On Hardball: Journalist Links Rush Limbaugh to Holocaust Museum Shooting
newsbusters.org/ ^ | June 10, 2009 | Geoffrey Dickens

Salon.com Editor-in-Chief 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 for the tragedy as he cried, "It's easier to get your hands on a gun than to get somebody to make you a waffle." Blaming Limbaugh while insisting she was not, Walsh charged:

There is a very disturbing and disturbed element of political discourse. And I would, I would throw in Rush Limbaugh. Not blaming him, but when you say that our President is more dangerous than al-Qaeda you've gone off into crazy nut job land. You are off the charts crazy. And you are, you are whipping people up.

After her appearance from San Francisco, Walsh posted a blog item titled: "Can right-wing hate talk lead to murder?"

Audio: MP3 clip (1:50).

In that case, Keith Olbermann should be pulled from the airwaves after he described Cheney as “Insane as any terrorist”.

This class/cultural warfare, of left vs. right with the MSM taking a side is out of hand and Obama flamed the fire with gasoline. He is not a leader he is a radical, marxist, divider.

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

That, Chrissie, is just a flat out lie. That is if you want to do it legally. But, then, I am a law-abiding citizen and do not intend to shoot anyone unless they threaten my life.

Oh - I waited seven days for my Glock 19. That’s right - seven days. When was the last time you bought either a gun or a waffle? If you have been waiting seven days for a waffle, I would find a new cook.

There will be a civil war. Book it.

And frankly, it is about 50 years overdue.

It’s Obama that chose to be mentored by the Jew-hating Reverend Wright for 20 years. Where was her fury over that? Where was she during the vile treatment of George Bush?.

Joan Walsh is a Fraud.

i agree. O is stirring the pot . By the way, the worst anti-Semitism by far is on the left, not the right. check out your local university and what they are teaching there. it’s quite shocking here in Cali with hate taught at UC Irvine, UCLA, etc.

"when you say that our President is more dangerous than al-Qaeda you've gone off into crazy nut job land"

So how does this lead to shooting Jews? I could see an attack on zer0bama, but not the jews.

The libs are the ones living in crazy nut job land.

But but but... I thought Obama was going to bring hope and change and love all and we all would drive our Obamacars through flowers in peace drinking coco-cola?

MSNBC best report that the loon that shot the security guard hated Christians,jews and blacks equally, or their ratings will plummet even further.

Let’s stop and think a little. Has any left-wing radical extremism caused a nut-case to perpetrate a crime against innocent citizens? Why yes, it has happened Mr. Left Wing Radical Salon Moron.

Translation: “Nobody should be allowed to express an opinion I disagree with, because the very act of expressing opinions I disagree with causes others to commit completely unrelated acts of violence.”

No mention of the hatred, the depression, the anxiety,the fear, that President Obama is causing with his going around the world apologizing for everything America is supposed to have done wrong, kissing up to the mulsims that hate us and kill our people and destroying America and turning it into Europe Lite. So ms Walsh is only playing at politics and not being a journalist.

These people do no research and only offer opinions. They should be bitch slapped. This guy was a certifiable nut job for 30 years. Long before Rush and Sean were on. He has been arrested before for trying to kidnap a member of the Federal Reserve. They don’t even realize how stupid they sound.

Wonder if Hardball mentioned the Rev Wrights recent comments about “The jews will not let me get near President Obama.”

Let’s see, who spews more anti-semitic crap,

Limbaugh or Wright?
Limbaugh or Farakkkhan?
Limbaugh or Ahmadinijad?

Those on the right hand side of the list are friends of 0bama.

Never forget, folks -

it is inherent in the history of leftist ideology that they seek to punish and exterminate their ideological opposition.

They’re just looking for an excuse.

Jeremiah Wright bashed Jews yesterday. Blame the shooting on Obama’s ex-pastor.
