Did anyone else Limbaugh predicte massacre at Camp Casey?
On todays show he was blustering about about Cindy Sheehan and said (quoted from memory) "Real Texans are suiting up in camouflage right now. They are getting ready for hunting season!!!! This is going to get real good <laughter>!!!!"

I listen to Rush regularly to get a handle on what the enemy is up to and I am certain that the drug problem is back!!! He is getting consistently more desperate. He is feeling the heat of having hitched his wagon to a failed president and failed policy as well as the heat of having his base abandon him for Hannity.

Rush lauds his trip to Afghanistan- but who would be surprised that el Drug-bo got on his private plane and jetted off to the heart of the opium triangle!!!! Bush may have been right about one thing- as they get more desparate- they get crazier and more violent.

1. He certainly is putting out some good crazy lately
I haven't heard Hanitty in a while. (How anyone can listen to him regularly is beyond me!) Look for rush to say something to get himself in serious hot water soon (a la Savage)

2. No - this can't be true!
Even drug and addled brain Limbaugh wouldn't have gone far enough to say something as wild as this - why he's even egging them on....

surely, this is a joke?

3. I think you are right about drugs
The burkette quote last week was bizarre enough but then to deny it two days later shows a lack of connection to reality.

5. "Inciting to riot" is only illegal for LIBRULS, donchaknow.
I have my own suspicions as to why Rush
is so desperate and crazy these days.

His ratings are dropping.
His upcoming drug conviction.
The public is turning against B*shCabalInc.™

Add it all up, and you get a picture that
is probably causing some radio stations to
start planning to REPLACE his show.

I suspect some have already declined to renew him,
and he knows his days of fame and fortune are coming to an end.

6. are his ratings dropping nationwide do you know?
I saw an article where they were dropping in the "twin cities" but I haven't heard anything about nationwide. I hope this is true. :D

9. At this point, I only have circumstantial evidence...
...but some of it really seems to show that Rush is getting desperate.

Here's just ONE example, from the 10th of this month,
showing how Rush is LYING about doing well in the ratings:
http://thinkprogress.org/2005/08/10/limbaugh-radio-lies/

<snip>
Yesterday, Rush Limbaugh, through his radio syndicator Premiere Radio Networks,
sent out a press release titled “Limbaugh Leads the Race Against Liberal Talkers,”
purportedly comparing his ratings to those of progressive talk stations.

The release lists ratings info for five cities —
Austin, Baton Rouge, New Orleans, San Antonio, and Memphis —
for Spring 2005 (March 31 to June 22).
In two of those cities, New Orleans and Baton Rouge,
the stations that Rush claims he “defeated”
didn’t switch to the progressive talk format until July 2005 —
after the ratings period in question ended.
Two of the other comparisons are also misleading.
Rush claims to have won the ratings battle in Austin —
but the progressive alternative is a low-watt station
that broadcasts not out of Austin, but 20 miles away
in bustling Pflugersville, Texas.
The same is true of Rush’s performance in San Antonio,
where the weaker progressive talk station is actually
based in suburban Devine, Texas.

In other words, of the 591 stations on which Limbaugh broadcasts, he chose to highlight four where his “victories” are at best misleading, at worst plain dishonest.
<<endsnip>>

Out of 591 stations, THESE are the best
he can find for his own press release?
Definitely NOT a good sign.(For rush's career, that is!)

There are a few pertinent links in the article, also
