Limbaugh says liberals are waiting breathlessly for 1000 GIs killed.....

[kentuck]

Yes, Rush, like we were when we hit 100 deaths....like we were when we hit 500 deaths. We are breathless. Now we are about to hit 1000. How many have to die before it becomes important to Rush Limbaugh and the right-wingers? Is it insignificant to them?

[Hawkeye-X]

1. Man. I'm not holding my breath to see 1,000 people killed

in a unnecessary and unjustified war. If it reaches 1,000 deaths, it will only go to * and the Republican's heads.

Hawkeye-X

[sangh0]

2. And repukes just don't care how many die

.

[goclark]

3. Russ takes my breath away with his mean words.

And our dead soldiers will never draw another breath.

Can someone send Russ to jail?!

[HysteryDiagnosis]

4. And yes Lush

most of them are probably "liberals", working for the corporations who are profitting to no end over all this mess. Go take another hit of Oxy.... no take two. Hypocrite.

[underpants]

That's odd, WE DIDN'T WANT THEM THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE

(insert expletive of choice between FIRST and PLACE)


:grr:

After watching "Uncovered" last night on Sundance I am enraged.

[Blue_Roses]

5. he's an angry PITIFUL man

n/t

[Fionn]

45. But he's right.

We HAVE been waiting on 100o deaths. I know I have. We've been saying it for weeks - "wait until the 1000 deaths are reached". We've speculated about the affect it will have on the shrubs numbers.

I hate Rush, but he's right. I for one have been awaiting 1000 dead for weeks. And if it takes the death of another GI to beat Bush, then so be it.

[Ilsa]

54. Sorry, but I disagree. I'd rather have the GI's alive with Bush in

office than dead in order to remove him. That's an example of throwing the baby out with the bath water.

[Blue_Roses]

58. Oh, God.

that's a horrible thing to say,"if it takes the death of another GI to beat Bush, then so be it."

If that was my child over there fighting an illegal war, I would be raging mad, not looking for another death.

[Fionn]

59. Come on.

That GI is going to die anyway. I see no wrong in hoping he dies before November 2nd.

[kentuck]

67. I hope it stops at 999....and no one else dies.

That's not very liberal to wish for a death, is it???

[Beware the Beast Man]

60. No, he's half-right. Which makes him wrong.

No one was "breathlessly" awaitng 1,000, as if we were waiting to be enthralled by the result. But we were waiting. Waiting to see how long this nonsense can go on, and dreading it. Screw that doped-up man-slut.

[kentuck]

61. I think it is more accurate to say....

we have been anxiously anticipating the unfortunate event. We haven't been "waiting" on in it, as if in joyful celebration. At least, i don't think anyone has that i have talked with??

[Fovea]

6. As opposed to NeoCons

who are having a party for the big day, and going to celebrate
by cutting Veterans benefits again.
I hear that Donald Rumsfeld will be getting an oil pipe named for him because he was jealous of Condi's big ass boat.

[Dying Eagle]

7. Why stop there

I am throwing a party for the 1000th Death, Rush can you be any bigger of a asshole!!

[Cha]

8. zidzi to oxyrush:

There would not be ONE Killed over in Iraq if this Liberal Progressive Person had her way!

So go take your nazitard LIES & fuck yourself, a la cheney!

[Ducks In A Row]

9. And the rethugs are ignoring the 999 deaths that came before.

I hope Rush is happy that so much blood is spilt.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

16. good point

but more importantly, Rush knows not a single one of them, and could care less.

[Catfight]

10. coming from an American disgrace that evaded the War. n/t

[chelsea0011]

11. What a moron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would bring them home right now to avoid one more death. He's the one obsessed with the number, as in, he could care how many die as long as it's not him.

[StClone]

12. It doesn't bother Rush to have 1000 dead

It won't bother him if there were 10,000 dead or even 100,000. His side wants you and your children to die a glorious death so he can point out how Liberals, as he wants his followers to believe, revel in a soldier's death. He lies. We never wanted this war. We want our soldiers home. We wanted the money spent in Iraq to be used wisely. Why does he want our soldiers to die needlessly on foriegn soil is the question.

[kentuck]

21. He said in the same conversation that 10,000 were not that many.....

talking with a caller that had called in.....

[NewYorkerfromMass]

25. Well if you have a draft then , no it is not that many.

If there's a deep and endless pool of bodies from which to draw then it's easy to replace the corpses.

[StClone]

30. SOB

Oh...but if he were the 1000 soldier then he who think 1000 was too many. If this isn't sickening to every soldier's family.

[TriMetFan]

13. What a Jerk.

Does any one here have his e-mail? We should e-mail over and over about what a jerk he and the Republicans are. The blood is on their hands.:grr:

[shaolinmonkey]

14. If I remember correctly, left-wingers were hoping breathlessly that

nobody would be killed. Remeber that Rush, you fat putrid sack of shit?

[jimshoes]

15. Fuck Limbaugh

He's as much responsible for this tragedy in Iraq as anyone in the *bush administration.

[Cha]

33. Good Point!

That sounds like a retort soundbite to oxyie's ranting about Liberals and what they're doing.

limbaugh is "responsible for this tragedy in Iraq as anyone in the *bush administration."

[jimshoes]

68. Spread it around zidzi

Rush the pill popping freak was the biggest cheerleader for this war, he should shoulder some of the blame.

[maine_raptor]

17. RightWingers waiting breathlessly for the coming Iran Invasion

[Sinistrous]

18. Maybe old cyst-butt will have a period of mourning

and stay off the air for a couple of months.

[GiovanniC]

19. The Real Issue: 1,000 Soldiers are PERMANENTLY Breathless

You oxy-chomping pompous bag of runny elephant shit.

[GreenPartyVoter]

35. Yup :^(

[Flubadubya]

20. Too bad he stopped at 999 Oxycontin...

one more might have done it! :grr:

[molly]

22. What a f'n sicko

[flakey_foont]

23. Rush is

one sick wanker!!

[Renew Deal]

24. No, I am waiting breathlessly for 10,000

:eyes:

You fucking idiot. You think we want more death? What's the point of all this anti-war protest? It's so our soldiers DON'T have to die. Asshole

[GOPFighter]

26. Rush, you pathetic excuse for a human being.

Di you ever see the Vietnam War Memorial? There are the names of 58,000 Americans who never lived to see this day. They never got a chance to sit in your studio and make millions of dollars smearing your fellow citizens for those pieces of silver you think matter to anyone. If they could talk, what do you think they would say about liberals like us who are trying to end another trumped up war? BTW, where were you when those 58,000 were killed serving their country, huh?

[Feanorcurufinwe]

27. I'm breathlessly waiting for the day when NO GIs are killed

or in danger of being killed in Iraq.

[Walt Starr]

29. SO MOTE IT BE!!

That's the day I'm breathlessly waiting for!

[NewYorkerfromMass]

36. That's the perfect retort

perfect.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

28. parents and loved ones waiting breathlessly in fear

that their own son, daughter, husband, or wife will be the name broadcast in the media as the 1000th American soldier to die in Iraq. But for Rush Limbaugh, it will be just another ordinary hate-filled day like all of the other ordinary hate-filled days of his miserable life.

[kcwayne]

31. I'd give a standing ovation for number 1000 if it was Rush going down

but of course chicken hawks just sit back and make money while cheering for others to make sacrifices.

[DaveSZ]

32. He has no soul

[depakid]

34. Looking forward to seeing Rush in prison where he belongs

What's happening with that case, anyway?

[Paranoid_Portlander]

49. Me, too. I would also like to know...

... what is happening to his case. Bush recently went on Rush's radio show (by phone) and publicly and explicitly declared his friendship for Rush Limbaugh. So would that be a signal for the prosecution to take it easy? Keep an eye on this situation.

[Entente]

37. More than 1,000 casualties

More than 1,000 casualties

http://www.salon.com/politics/war_room/index.html

(page 15)



Juan Cole (with an assist from a reader) notes on his blog today that the anticipated death of the 1,000th American soldier in Iraq already happened sometime in the last few weeks. According to the military and foreign policy watchdog GlobalSecurity.org, by the end of August 1,012 U.S. service members had died.

Why haven't you heard about it? In part, statistical methodology. GlobalSecurity.org states in its methodology section "at times our total count can be rather larger than the numbers reported by some news organizations. We list a number of people as unidentified pending notification of next of kin. We count people as soon as they get killed, while others wait until they are named."

While the "official" 1000th death will probably be announced sometime this month, there's another big story out there along with that somber milestone. In August, GlobalSecurity.org reports, the number of U.S. soldiers wounded in Iraq doubled to 1,112 from the July total of 533, making it the worst month for American casualties since the war began.

38. Limbaugh got dishonorable mention in Stars and Stripes yesterday

Strong leadership?

What an “Alice in Wonderland” country we live in, when — if you have a combat record, served your country honorably and sustained wounds/received medals to prove it (as did John Kerry, Max Cleland and John McCain) — you are subject to dirty tricks and a political smear campaign spearheaded by those who claim to hold “unity,” “family values” and “love of country” in high esteem.

Conversely, you are considered a “strong leader” if you chose not to serve when called upon and have no war record, but rather opted for the “campaign tour,” missing a year of duty in the Air National Guard during a time of war, as did President Bush.

Vice President Dick Cheney’s five deferments during the Vietnam War (his “expectant parent” deferment having been created especially for him) are likewise considered “strong leadership” traits as are the deferments of Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, John Ashcroft, Saxby “bad knees” Chambliss, Tom Delay, Karl Rove, and Rush Limbaugh.

But, oh, how they love to bang the “bring ’em on” war drums, as long as somebody else does the fighting.

Does America wish to imply that it’s better not to serve at all? If so, then something is terribly wrong with how we define honor, courage, leadership and commitment to our country.

39. wow!

That's something!

[BootinUp]

40. We are waiting breathlessly for you to give a f&%!#

damn sob's

[AntiCoup2K4]

41. If it went to 59,000 deaths and topped Vietnam, they wouldn't give a shit.

As long as it wasn't anybody they knew, and as long as right wing assholes continued to control the media and government.

[kentuck]

44. Rush says there are over 50,000 deaths per year in accidents...

I believe he said in auto accidents specifically??

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

50. Why doesn't he mention the 17,000 annual deaths from drug overdose?

[imax2268]

42. go fuck yourself Rushbo...

your a nazi pill popping junkie law breaking asshole...

If it was up to us the soldiers wouldn't be there dying needlessly in the first fucking place you idiot...check yourself in Rushbo(dumbo)...your bi-polar rants are getting old...

[demigoddess]

43. Lush is a Brain damaged moron

Who would not know empathy if he fell over it. I sincerely wonder about his parents. Seems like neith one of their sons could fine anything better to do than dump garbage on people in public.

[madrchsod]

46. fuck rush

[Nordic]

47. oh right. It's all about us. How could I forget?

it's the "liberals" who got us into this mess, gosh silly me for forgetting that.

Liberals caused Hurricane Frances, too.

Liberals caused Rush's drug addiction, remember THAT one?

[a new day]

48. I'm holding my breath for the day when the dying becomes rare

[Guaranteed]

51. And Rush doesn't even give a shit. nt

[jyund]

52. You might be more persausive if you try to understand where they are comin

You might be more persausive if you try to understand where they are coming from.

Conservatives I know are bothered by how much they hear some of us talk about the dead. If you keep repeating something it sounds like it pleases you. Of course the truth is, they keep hearing from different sources because it is the truth.

You might want to talk them about how sad it is we had to go (some thousand) miles to go to a country to destroy their cities and kill their children. That way you are inviting to share in your grief, instead of attacking theirs.

Also, think how bad it be if you started getting all sarcastic about the war dead ( even if you are really trying expose Repub hypocrisy)
and it was one their own children.

[spanone]

53. Hey Rush, shove your head back up in your ass.

[w4rma]

55. It already happened 2 days ago. (nt)

[LuminousX]

56. I'd be ecstatic if the number held at 999 because we brought the troops

home.

[EST]

57. We are waiting breathlessly for 1000

BUT THERE'S NOBODY SMILING. (sob)

[ronnykmarshall]

62. I'm breathlessly waiting for Rush to drop dead.

[tandot]

65. I had the same thought. Sorry for not checking first before I posted mine

:hi:

[John_H]

63. Yup. And we should learn a lesson from him.

The rethugs are good at innoculating themselves and sowing seeds of cynicism and doubt about events that help their opponets politically. This is a good example--rush turns something that should damage bush into apretty effective (with the rethug base) attack on us.

Why can't our people do the same thing?

"The president had to bring in Jim Baker to remove debates from the schedule because he is petrified he''ll have to defend his record without a script."

"You know the Bush campaign staff is saying to themselves--maybe it's time to make that big push to get bin Laden."

[tandot]

64. the only person I breathlessly wait for dropping dead is Rush

Lying, smearing, hate-mongering piece of sh*t :mad:

[Christof]

66. I'm holding my breath and waiting for Rush to get....

off his fat ass and start exercising.

Looks like I'll be dead in six to eight minutes. :(

[heidiho]

71. I Blame This Man for all of the Hatred in Politics Today

He is the biggest hate-monger that ever lived and doesn't even deserve to speak. I hope he rots in jail before he goes straight to hell.

[LynnTheDem]

72. Yes

I wait every night all night long for notice of every GI; US and UK and "coalition" soldiers' deaths.

I have done since the invasion began, Mr. Limbaugh.

You see, I believe every one of them is worth knowing their name, worth counting, worth saying goodbye to.

So every night I sit and watch for their deaths, so they may be at least counted, by name, on the ICC.

I know all their names, Mr. Limbaugh. How many of their names do you know? Why are they not worth counting, worth remembering, worth saying goodbye to, to you?

[frylock]

73. what we are waiting for is the ANNOUNCEMENT of the 1000th..

soldier killed in this bullshit. If you honestly believe that this war has claimed the lives of less than 1000 soldiers, you are sadly mistaken. How many have died after being evac'd out of Iraq? All we hear about is the KIA in-country. Never once have I heard that a soldier at Landstuhl lost his life to grave injury.

Perhaps I'm mistaken, and every last mangled soldier shipped out of the 'raq lives to see another day. Somehow, I doubt it. :cry:

[swag]

74. I tried like hell to stop these Americans from being killed for lies

Pity for RL he can't say the same.

[Joe Fields]

75. Limbaugh is one of the most treasonous, un-American citizens

this country has ever known. He is a danger and a menace to society. I could think of a couple hundred more things to say about this SOB, but frankly, I won't waste my time. I'm preaching to the choir here.

[rocktivity]

76. You're damned right we are

I myself have been waiting breathlessly since the FIRST soldier died.

:mad:
rocknation

[TheWebHead]

77. actually I'm waiting breathlessly for Rush...

to resume taking 1,000 Oxycontin's a week :)
