According to the “abnormal pocket originating in the skin that usually contains hair, skin debris and other abnormal tissue which is located near the tailbone at the top of the cleft of the buttocks and is known to cause pain and discharges”, and that is also known as Rush Limbaugh, American cities will be on flame with rock ‘n roll the grievous shouts and cries of obstreperous blah people if their Kenyan Warlord is denied his righteous claim to The Iron Throne of The Boss Of All Of Us on November 6th:
The day before the first presidential debate, Limbaugh suggested that violence against Democrats might eventually be used to “handle them.” The next day, as many pundits praised Mitt Romney’s showing in the debate, Limbaugh predicted that violence from Obama supporters could be possible if Romney wins in November.
During his October 3 radio program, Limbaugh compared the threat America faces from terrorism to the threat posed by liberals. He said, “Folks, terrorism is the greatest threat. Because we can still defeat liberals without violence.” But Limbaugh then added, “So, terrorism still, of course, represents the greater threat than the Democrat Party. We can handle them without violence. So far.”
On Limbaugh’s October 4 show, a caller said that polls showed a “huge lead for Obama, particularly in the battleground states,” and asked Limbaugh, “[I]f and when Romney is elected, what do you think the reaction on the streets would be? Particularly in the large urban areas.” Limbaugh replied that if Romney won despite Obama enjoying a wide lead in the polls, “you could have riots.” He later said that “it could get bloody out there. But if the polls are tight in the last week, then I think there’s less likelihood of any kind of, what would we say? Violent reaction.”
Who are these outside agitators, these race pimps, these inflamers of the oversexed loins of the dusky race, these rabble-rousers rousing the rabble by taking to to the ramparts with their cries of “Burn, baby, burn!” and “No Bama! – No peace!” and ” Hey, motherfucker, I want more iced tea!” while America goes up in flames like a rear-ended Ford Pinto loaded down with cheap Chinese-made children’s pajamas purchased at Wal-mart?
That would be the “the pollsters” who with their skewing and liberal biasing and unfounded faith and reliance on so-called “numbers” and “analysis” and their mysterious mumbo-jumbo elitist “algorithms” (which, based upon the spelling were probably invented by Al Gore, who is fat), and now they’ve got everyone all hopey-changey again when, in reality: a hard rain is a’gonna fall, the fire next time, and I can’t believe it’s not butter and that Mitt Romney is totally going to win his thing.
Limbaugh added that in the event of such violence, “obviously, it’d be the pollsters. We’d have to blame the pollsters. They would be the ones responsible for this. I wonder how they would feel about that, to have that happen. We don’t want to contemplate such things.”
Après moi, le déluge of more iced tèa, motherfuckèr.

Very crafty, Rush. If anyone were to be betting on voter suppression having a serious impact on swing state voting, it’d be you. No one can provide a cover for perhaps a whopping election crime the way you can. And when the Monday night polling again comes up D+5 versus the “results,” the tight election takes days to count and — what an upset! — Romney wins, you bet your ass we’ll be rioting. We’re not dumb. You might consider reserving a Dominican charter, pal.
The entire right wing blah-o-smear relies on seeing the President as both weak and terrifyingly strong, as “Obambi”, Malcom X, a floor wax, and a dessert topping, and this fits right in. Nerdy liberal pollsters wearing European leather jackets chasing them down the streets with clipboards fits right in as one of their fever dreams.
I think F Scott Fitzgerald was wrong, the ability to hold two opposing ideas in the mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function may be a feature of a first rate intelligence, but it’s also the mark of an insane racist using totally contradictory claims as evidence to incite hatred.
Unions are powerful ogres who are able to completely overpower giant corporations and must be defeated with misuse of the power of the state AND unions are weak and corrupt with declining membership and are a best forgotten relic of the past, not needed in the modern workplace.
Liberals are weak-wristed, unmanly defeatists who cannot be trusted to not appease our enemies AND Liberals have taken control of the country and are tireless in their cunning efforts to suppress their enemies.
Women are soft, devious unreliable bitchez who betray with a kiss AND women are scary, powerful ball-breakers who can castrate a man with a word.
How to Read Žižek by Adam Kotsko here covers the whys and wherefores of this type of illogicality.
Sounds like polling companies might want to be hiring (more) security guards. You know how people tend to overreact to Rush’s statements – for which overreactions he is, of course, in no way responsible.
Bully, Rush. Bully! The work of pollsters might usher in a violent Armageddon but decades of your heated, hateful, ignorant rhetoric have never, ever been to blame for any violence whatsoever! And to suggest as much is only so much liberal gobbledygook and claptrap. *snark*
If there’s to be A Race War, I want to “run” my War Race with the bassets, please. Frenchmen and Frenchpups have a way of surrendering so sweetly and with drool.
And renewing that scrip you find so handy with the Dom laddies, RandyRush!
Shorter Rush: When the revolution comes, the first against the wall will be the pollsters.
That’s always so cute when people repeat the right-wing “Frenchmen surrender” joke, especially considering that France lost 1.4 million men in combat in World War I. Since their population was 40 million, that was 3.6% of the population. To put that in perspective, that would be like us having 11 million soldiers killed in combat, after which you can imagine we might be just a tad reluctant to agree to do things like invade Iraq, which is pretty much why right wingers started reviving that particular smear about them being unwilling to fight, based on nothing but bullshit.
Yeah I know it’s a joke but not a good one. People in France where I live always find it particularly charming, I can tell you, though mostly they’re blessedly unaware of the ravings of Republicans.
Violence? We don’t need no stinking violence!
If Rmoney wins, the plan is to stop protecting conservatives from themselves.
The death toll will reach into the millions.
Based on teabagger reaction to the labor statistics this morning, you can add Che BLS to your list.
Don’t know how this would fit into someone’s conspiracy theory, but the corporate MSM will not be conducting election exit polls in 19 states.
No, this is Rush being multidimensional. See, if if Rmoney loses, it is fairly predictable that OK City II, The Wingnut Freakout, won’t be far behind, and Rush plans to pre-emptively blame any and all election-related violence on libs. He’s just laying the groundwork currently; expect more of the same. Afterall, he does know his audience!
With Rush, there’s always something to whine about and to fear.
In other words, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butthurt.
True – but the Justice Department will be monitoring the elections in Maricopa County and the State of Arizona…..
Don’t forget, that was the flower of a nation’s young manhood and when you add in the 3-million or so wounded, the destruction of manufacturing, crippling war debt and the near complete denudation of vast tracts of land, and yeah, funny how they weren’t all full of piss and vinegar to go through it again.
I just heard mittens speak and then some ass wipe on CNBC say let’s call unemployment eight percent. Yeah like when it was 8.2% we called it eight. Two mutherfuckers.
Apparently now, the new hot conspiracy theory all the kids are excited about is those Mau Maus down at the Bureau of Labor Statistics pulling a Chicago gangland style haul on the employment report.
Apparently, though the corrupt statisticians were perfectly capable of jiggering (did I say that?) the numbers any time they wanted to to benefit the Kenyan Usurper, it was only after Romney’s Mighty Victory in the debates that made it vital to pull the unemployment number down to 7.8%
I wouldn’t mind helping that along some way.
Romney fucking lies. Dozens of them.fucker.
Wow, man! That is so radical. Radical, dude!
Ha ha ha Americans rioting because one corporate overload wins over the other.
Ass-ass when the riots come you won’t know what hit you.
There MUST be some federal statute this guy is violating, inciting to riot, sedition, conspiracy to commit sedition, animal husbandry??????
Is this what they call a tell?
By using terrorism, Rush?
VIDEO: GOP Caught Training Poll Challengers in Illegal Voter Suppression Tactics
New Mexico Congressman Steve Pearce tells The Nation that he was aware of the training and supports it, even though he knows some tactics are illegal. Also says this is the way the GOP will take back New Mexico.

edit-oops, didn’t mean that as a reply.
Great! Which pollster do I sign up with to go Mau Mau directly on El Lushbo’s fat dirty bastard gargantuan ass?? It’s clearly the easiest target out of all the booga booga scary scary monsters!!11 Teatards leaders.
Schwing!!
And don’t you love it when no one breathes a word about the rate of participation in the labor force? Nothing but the (probably fraudulent) rate of unemployment dropping.
I didn’t realize that Limbaugh mattered anymore. He seems to be speaking bullshit in the hopes that someone will notice him again.
Anyway, I wonder what his sponsors think of him rousing the rabble to violence.
heh, you made my day, tbogg!
and last night,an awesome basset carrying a biscuit so the rabble can’t get it.
and, breitbart is still dead!
my weekend is looking awesome.
Despite the fact that Limbaugh has always been unhinged, he now appears to be in the early stages of dementia. Dealing with two aged parents with the disease I can spot the symptoms. He should really be evaluated. Psychotic Delusional Paranoia for sure.
See I only know what I see on my Olde Tee Vee (yeah I listen to Rush but at this point I have his schtick on automatic) and my Sharp Aquos 90” CLASS LED SMART 3D TV with AquoMotion 240 is tellin me that Obama is gonna steal this election cold with illegal aliens, redneck viagra vote suppression, manipulation of the poles to prime us for defeat and now juicing up teh labor statistics. done and done. its fixed.
An then Obama is coming for my hard earned inheritance and disability payments AND taking my guns and then HE IS GONNA GIVE IT ALL TO BLACK PEOPLE. How many times do we have to be told, that is a fact, that is what is going to happen. Even Ryan and Romney are implying that every fuckin day.
So what the fuck do you expect the Makers like me are gonna do? We aren’t gonna go after the polesters or the statestishuns, hell no. We all been stockin up on amunition and guns keepin this ecopnomy going with the sheer power of our hard workin paranoia. We are teh fuse and the GOP has lit us up and after the election we are goin off.
Preemptively. Cause you know, Rush is right, teh blacks were gonna do it first.
Must be pretty scary always having to wait for people to do math for you?
Bleh! I wondered how Rusty kept so tuned in on the points (such as this one providing cover for the voter suppression boys), and then I imagined a Rusty-and-Reince-Pubis mindmeld. Now I’m nauseous.
“… while America goes up in flames like a rear-ended Ford Pinto loaded down with cheap Chinese-made children’s pajamas purchased at Wal-mart?”
Oh-oh, Tbogg, the moratorium on holier-than-thou punching must be getting to you. You’re starting to sound like Cotton Mather. Or maybe John the Evangelist.
I have my crabby issues with polls and the use of them, but blaming pollsters for the projected destruction of the USA is pretty imaginative, and just goes to show, IMO, that Rush either doesn’t actually, truly believe a word that comes out of his own mouth, or bloviates in sort of a semi-transported state.
Because nobody ever, never ever ever ever fudged the unemployed statistics before Obama. Never. Ever.
Tell me, Rushbo: Which side of the aisle created a movement that advocated overthrowing the government because they didn’t like the outcome of a Presidential election?
Oh well, sauce for the goose. If the GOP steals another election, I do not advocate violence in the streets. Instead, I support far more specific targeting. And a big boy like Rush is pretty hard to miss. Just sayin’.
If they steal it will the emoprogs celebrate?
:: biting lower lip, bravely raising chin(s) ::
“Nevertheless, we must!“
Just perusing comments, statistically it looks like sparkle pony crowd doesn’t want to chime in on El Rushbo…………..
Joe Nocera of the New York Times:
So Point No. 1: the idea that a handful of career bureaucrats, their jobs secure no matter who is in the White House, would manipulate the unemployment data to help President Obama, is ludicrous. Jack Welch knows it, too; when I called him Friday afternoon, he quickly backpedaled. “I’m not accusing anybody of anything,” he protested.
Joe concludes:
Whether the Republicans like it or not, the economy is slowly getting better.
Awful, isn’t it?
Projection is the GOP’s “tell.”
