Sen. Daschle Complains of Threats (Rush Responds)

WFTV ^ | 11/20/02

[You Dirty Rats]

I don't recall any talk radio host, much less Rush, calling for the execution of political opponents like Alec (the Jacobin) Baldwin did on national TV.

[SerpentDove]

So Daschle HAS read the emails I sent him.

*snicker*

[alloysteel]

As Rush pointed out, almost as an aside, the anthrax-laced letter addressed to Tom Daschle was a VASTLY greater personal threat than any off-hand insults that may have shown up on the Internet. Unless Tom Daschle knows something we don't.

[clintonh8r]

The RATs are in full panic now that it's obvious that their spinning, rationalizing explanations of Bloody Tuesday (11/5) aren't getting any traction.

That aside, Tom Thumb "clearly" (to use one of his own favorite over-used expressions) has a short-guy complex.

[IncPen]

I challenge Daschle to put up or shut up.

Email threats are easily traced, as are phone threats.

Using the mail in such a way is a felony.

Put up or shut up. Let's see the goods, Tommy.

[The Electrician]

``What happens when Rush Limbaugh attacks those of us in public life is that people aren't satisfied just to listen,'' Daschle, D-S.D., told reporters Wednesday. ``They want to act because they get emotionally invested. And so, you know, the threats to those of us in public life go up dramatically, on our families and on us, in a way that's very disconcerting.''

Actually, more likely is that what happens is that the American people get to see first-hand on C-SPAN how some of the drooling idiots who occupy positions of responsibility (such as Daschle) in the government are misusing that power, and they want to act because they get emotionally invested. Perhaps Daschle should be directing his bile against C-SPAN, instead.

He did cite an incident last year when Republicans labeled him an obstructionist. ``There was a corresponding, a very significant increase in the number of issues that my family and I had to deal with. And I worry about that,'' Daschle said.

Don't be an obstructionist. Dumbass.

[kstewskis]

Later in that statement Daschle said the Democrats need a forum like Rush for their side. If what Rush says is so bad, they why does he want a similar show?

Liberal talk shows have been tried in the past, and they've failed miserably. They cannot survive in the private sector market with their unintelligible rhetoric and rantings. The only way the liberal voice survives on the airways is via The Pinko Broadcasting Service (PBS) where their funding is extorted through the taxpayers. The "buying"(and thinking) public listen to what makes sense, not to a bunch of whining crybabies soiling their shorts.

[Blue Screen of Death]

I would assume he has reported these threats to law enforcement. I would like to see a reporter investigate these reports and see if 1) there are any, and 2) how they can be linked to Rush or talk radio. If he is going to make this kind of claim, he should be able to prove it.

[Las Vegas Dave]

With all this publicity, RUSH’s ratings will go off the charts! (Thank you Mr. Dashole!)

[chiller]

How many of us think Daschle's "concern" for so-called threats is cover for:
1) embarrassing election losses
and worse
2) a future attempt to stifle free speech?

Hell, they're already trying it in the guise of campaign reform. He's picked the wrong horse to ride, 'cause Rush has long said that he'd LOVE to take the issue of free speech/equal time/talk radio to court.

[blam]

Little Tommie got "Slam Dunked" on Nov 5th. (Now shut-up you little wussie!)

[John Lenin]

If anybody hasn't figured this out yet, I have. Anytime the libs/RATS are guilty of something they accuse the GOP of doing what they are guilty of. Take the last few days news. 1)Woman in New York attacked for lighting up a cigarette. 2) Gay man kills elederly lady because she told him to repent for his sins. The media lapdogs suck it up and when Dashle blames Rush, and takes the real news off the air.

[caisson71]

Dasshole is finding it a bit uncomfortable when a little light shines on his antics, much like a cockroach.

[chiller]

You nailed it. A conservative forum is bad....we need one too.

And right again....nobody has any interest in a liberal forum (except on govt. supported PBS) Not to forget
that East Coast media have carried water for liberal
causes since Walter Conkrite.

[alwaysconservative]

I agree about Daschle's "issues".

Tommy, kwityerbitchen.

[tiki]

They are afraid because one symptom of people who listen to Rush is-they vote and they don't usuallly vote for Dims.

[Lizavetta]

Typical stupid liberal. Gun death? Blame NOT the shooter, blame the gun maker. Got death threats? Blame NOT the stalker, blame someone a zillion miles away who the stalker MAY OR MAY NOT have listened to at some point in his life.

Daschle is just mad because now the world, and probably his own wife, calls him "Puff", thanks to Rush. Where was Puff during the Baldwin/"stone Henry Hyde" incident? Rush is very good at parody and skewering the liberals and they don't have anybody nearly as funny on their side.

[ApesForEvolution]

Hey Dasshole....BOO!

[libsrscum]

Hey Dashole!

It's the issues, STUPID!
