So, an update on last week’s missive.
Despite the fact that the nation is still reeling from the Virginia Tech shootings, the right-wing morons on the radio are continuing to use it as a platform to push their own agendas. In one corner, we have comedian Rush Limbaugh, who asked, “Was everybody so concerned with the trumped-up global warming scare they didn’t notice a real threat, for example? And how about this? The guy is Korean. He’s Asian. How many people refused to do anything about it or even complain about it because they would be tagged as racists?”
In another corner, we have Michael Savage, who said that — since Cho moved to the U.S. from South Korea when he was 8 — he was “brainwashed over there.” Savage even went so far as to say that Cho was “walking the streets was because liberal scum have for 30 years handcuffed the police and the people of this country and made us hostages in their drama.” What, that’s not crossing the line enough for you? It’s not divisive enough and blaming the scaaaaary liberals for what happened when it was just the fault of one guy? What about when Savage said, in his messages to the media, Cho “uses the rhetoric of Al Qaeda when he rails against rich kids, debauchery and alcohol”? Geez, you know that sounds nothing like the rhetoric our administration has been spewing out, relating everything back to terrorism.
Because two corners isn’t enough, let’s fill up a third, shall we? Here’s Neal Boortz, who talked about the shooting and then went to commercial by playing “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” by Pat Benatar.
Yeah, and Imus is the only one out of work....
