Referring to those of us doing our civic duty protesting the illegal war in the roads and ditches outside Crawford, Texas in August, 2005 (where Cindy Sheehan was attempting to speak with President Bush), Rush Limbaugh had this to say:
"How many of you could take a week or two off or whatever and hang around a ditch? I mean, where do these people work? First question I always ask: What do they do for a living? Where do they get their money? Donations, folks, donations. They're glad handlers, they're glorified beggars, they're down there raising money during all of this. At one point I saw today Sheehan's website is getting 25 grand a day. Now you got a bunch of caterers down there and Joan Baez is down there strumming out the tunes, but the Washington politicians are not joining them down there, and this is upsetting....
"The Texans are very patient people, but the real Texans are not the people in that ditch down there.
REAL TEXANS are
PUTTING ON THEIR CAMOUFLAGE GEAR and getting ready to go out there and
GO HUNTING. you know, hunting season is coming up. At some point
REAL TEXANS ARE GOING TO GET FED UP WITH WHAT'S GOING ON DOWN THERE and it's going to be
REAL FUN TO WATCH, IF YOU GET MY DRIFT, ...a-hem..."

Rush Limbaugh, August 22, 2005, discussing the Camp Casey antiwar demonstrators in the roads & ditches at Camp Casey outside Crawford, Texas, "real Texans", and "hunting season"
But in the aftermath of Rep. Giffords attempted assassination (following years of
intentional, blatant right wing
hate-mongering, which created a climate in which Gifford's 2010 Republican opponent sunk to the level to
hold a campaign event to “Shoot a Fully Automatic M16″ to “Get on Target” and “Remove Gabrielle Giffords”, Rush had the chutzpah to claim:
"At
no time has anybody ever called for
violence...We've never
subtly promoted it."

Rush Limbaugh, January 10, 2011 The right wing is so accustomed to never being called on their lies, getting pass after pass from the corporate media, that Limbaugh now
plays a doctored Fox "News" clip in which Hoffa's words,
"And president Obama we want one thing: jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. That what we're going to tell him. He's going to be - and when he sees what we're doing here he will be inspired. But he needs help and you know what? Everybody here's got to vote.If we go back and we keep the eye on the prize,"
were
EDITED OUT, leaving this fraudulently deceptive sound bite, which never existed in history:
"...President Obama this is your army. We are ready to march. Let's take these son of a bitches out and give America back to America where we belong!"
After playing the fraudulently doctored tape, Limbaugh announces, "That's a call for violence, folks."
Sure, Rush, as you say, the right wing has not ever, "ever called for
violence...We've never
subtly promoted it."
:sarcasm:
. . . . Just as Fox is "Fair and Balanced".
. . . . And the corporate media will call you on your lies.
. . . . And all is for the best, in this best of all possible worlds.

(Here are some
undoctored contributions to "civil discourse" by some of Rush's friends.
(We promise, Rush, these guns and crosshairs were NOT photoshopped in over a plea to go to the polls. What you have sown, you now reap.)
