Can Rush get in trouble over this?
This has been posted on his website in response to the British film maker's "Assassination of a President". He has a picture on the website of Clinton sitting in a chair with Islamic terrorist behind him. I've included a few choice comments from his fans on a freeper website. These people are sick MF'ers.

The Kidnapping and Beheading of William Jefferson Clinton

August 31, 2006


BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I'm working on the concept of a new docudrama. Working on the concept here of a new movie, ladies and gentlemen. I have powerful friends in Hollywood, and they're always looking for story ideas to make movies and docudramas out of. Greetings, welcome back. Rush Limbaugh, your host for life, not retiring 'til every American agrees with me here on the one and only EIB Network, coming to you for the final day this week from high atop the EIB Building in midtown Manhattan. Telephone number if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882, and the e-mail address is Rush@eibnet.com.

Here's the idea, ladies and gentlemen, I am going to pass on to my powerful creative friends in Hollywood. The basic premise is that former President Clinton gets kidnapped and beheaded, and the docudrama will be an in-depth study of what happens in America and the free world and the Moslem world. This will be a thought provoking critique of contemporary society, not just in America, and its ramifications for the war on terror. Former President Clinton kidnapped and beheaded, and of course it will be a thought provoking critique of the ramifications of this on Hillary Rodham Clinton.

So I'll be going out to Hollywood, let's see, when am I going out there? Week after next. Just going up for the weekend. So I will work on the concept here of Bill Clinton being kidnapped and beheaded, and the thought provoking critique of contemporary society, not just in America and the free world but in the Moslem world as well, and Canada. We'll want to know the impact of the beheading of Bill Clinton. We'll have panel discussions. Well, it's going to be a docudrama. The panel discussions will come after the docudrama airs and we'll screen it at a think tank in Washington.

The term LOL does not do justice to my reaction to this post. I actually came to tears laughing, and my officemates are wondering if I've gone crazy.

Ha! That was hilarious! Will there be outcries from the left for Rush to resign or be fired?

Sorry, I don't like Rush's premise for this movie. Why would Al Quida kill Clnton? He gave them a free pass for eight years while we was in office. The Clinton's are the de facto midwives of Al Quida. Every year the Clinton's were in the White House it grew stronger and more deadly. If Al Quida kidnapped them it would be to give them medals, or maybe 72 virgins to split, nice chunky ones.

7. Thread on the film with replies in similar vein disappeared
just as a way of showing the difference between liberal sites like DU and Rush's dungeon

3. No one, anywhere, would have a problem with that
because enough people out there really hate and despise and want to kill Clinton (just google it).

And, those who liked Clinton are mostly indifferent, and care about free speech. So they won't try to stop it.

5. That Limbaugh is a sick fuck is not exactly news . . .
And it's at least comforting to have one's low opinion of the schmuck reconfirmed.

No, I don't think there's any criminal behavior here. Just more evidence that human-like life forms can evolve from slime mold in a single generation.

6. I believe he was doing it in response to a film
about Bush being assassinated, or something like that.

Not defending Rush at all, but I caught a few seconds of the show while flipping between AAR's old home on 1190 to the new one at 1600...

12. That is a British film
Don't we have laws that prohibit anyone from making any kind of threatening comments about the president?

If he has written this using Tony Blair as his subject I could understand him not being in any kind of trouble, but this is an American president.

20. Despite some absurd pretentions to the contrary, laws of the
United States do not apply outside the United States to other countries or their citizens.

An American president is no big deal outside this country, especially Dubya, who has made himself the most hated man in the world.

22. Same here. I caught a small portion of that segment
He seemed to be complaining some screenplay or something where Bush was killed, and saying "ok, we can play this game too....."

9. Considering he didn't even go to as much for rehab....
...for his hillbilly heroin habit, or his boner-pill smuggling, I'd say no. I'm sure if he gets confronted about this, he'll just say, "Man, I was really high when I made that up!"

10. The answer is no
No, Rush can never be fired. As he said, he is host for life. It is written, so be it. :puke:

11. The First Amendment protects his right to be a tasteless gasbag. And he
uses that right a lot.

14. Thank God he had the military around to afford him the right
to make an ass out of himself in public. If he had to depend upon like-minded scum to protect his rights to free speech, he'd probably be in a concentration camp right now and keeping his moronic opinions to himself.

13. Conservatism
Is a mental illness. Or what they're calling conservatism in the first decade of the 21st century.

It is recognizable by complete delusion, hypocrisy, ignorance of any and all facts and blood lust (as long as other people are bleeding) to hide their crippling fear of anything and anyone not exactly like themselves.

Top it all off with a connection to the internet and an inability to spell, punctuate or use proper grammar and there you have it, modern conservatives!

15. Nope.
If he could get in trouble for that, I could get in trouble for my documentary about how Rush Limbaugh got arrested for gay prostitution.

18. Rush is just a copycat. He doesn't have original thoughts.
A more worthless blowhard never blew.

19. Rush is protected
He can do what ever he wants and no one can touch him. He has the bu$h regime to back him up.

24. The truly hilarious part...
... is that there are thousands of Hollywood film makers who would
LOVE to take Rush's script and his $$ and produce his "movie."

Then, they'd be so SAD when the film flops.

Tee hee.

25. Which one would find an audience? Clinton is loved and
respected world wide, so I am not sure if people would want to see it. Bush is hated world wide and people would be more likely to plunk down the cash for the movie. Nobody wants to see a sympathetic character suffer and die. Clinton has confessed to human weaknesses, but bush has not.
