Limbaugh Miffed Media Distracted From Border Crisis By Malaysian Plane

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by William769 (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: Talking Points Memo

Rush Limbaugh is always quick to label news a convenient distraction from the real issue at hand, and the Malaysian Airlines passenger jet crash on Thursday was no exception.

"I don't want appear to be callous here, folks, but you talk about an opportunity to abandon the Obama news at the border?" Limbaugh said on his radio show Thursday. "And, no, I'm not suggesting anything other than how the media operates."

Welp...here we go.

Now how long until conspiracy theorists accuse Obama of orchestrating the attack on the plane?

from whatever made-up outrage the Republican propaganda machine wants to pretend they're outraged about. It's an outrage! And, Benghazi!

8. Rushie, boo-boo - why not go down to central America and turn it into

a market economy wet-dream? You can do it Rushie.

People on here call you a gutless bastard, a wimp, scared of your own shadow.
But I say you have just been waiting for the right opportunity.
Take a few he-men with you, maybe 5 or 10, you won't need many. Maybe you can take Sean and Michael Reagan. His daddy was a war hero.

Let Johnny McCain take on Russia. You and a couple of real market heroes should be able to take over central America.

Then when they have a great market economy and peace the problem will cease, right Rush?
