An Ohio man admitted emailing death threats last month to Rush Limbaugh, telling Palm Beach police that he was drinking at the time and sent the threats as a joke, according to a police report.

Acting on Limbaugh’s behalf, an employee called police, indicating Limbaugh wanted to prosecute. Later, the employee decided to document the incident rather than prosecute, the report said.

According to the report, the conservative radio talk show host received two threatening emails on Dec. 19. The employee told police that Limbaugh and his wife were concerned with the nature of the emails. The emails called Limbaugh a “perv” and a “DEAD MAN,” and threatened to kill Limbaugh and cut his wife’s head off. Police traced the emails to a 46-year-old Cleveland man.

After researching the email account, police found it had been the source of “numerous harassing emails to various people dating back to 2011,” including one to Mark Steyn, who has guest hosted for Limbaugh.

1. I first read the headline as he was the one who sent them, not that they were sent to him

[Control-Z]

3. That is exactly what I thought

at first. Thought Limbaugh's crazy was manifesting itself in new ways.

2. That headline writer should be crucified in front of his peers

5. +1

6. Pathetic headline.

Do they even read what they write?

[Control-Z]

4. Seems like Limbaugh

would be the recipient of death threats on a daily basis.

Off topic: Limbaugh's got another wife? Is this number 5?

7. Leave lard ass alone

he's marching towards his grave as fast as he can put food in his mouth. Plus I want the bastard to live long enough to get his comeuppance.

8. You should fix the headline, it's misleading. nt
