Rush Limbaugh, 8/22/05: "REAL Texans are putting on their camouflage gear & GETTING READY TO.... : "

Well. Rush, in August, 2005, the national mood was nearing a flashpoint. Americans were camping on donated land along Prairie Chapel Road near Crawford, Texas, in support Cindy Sheehan's request, and that of Gold Star Families for Peace and Military Families Speak Out, to talk to the president. Counter-protesters were present, as well: Some drove slowly by, scowling while snapping photos from their creeping vehicles, your voice sometimes audible from their radios. Oil prices were rising. And Pat Robertson, on national television, was opening calling for the assassination of the president of Venezuela.


The national mood was, you might say, incendiary.


And, Rush, here's what YOU had to contribute to the national political discourse on August 22:

"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..."

It's not just your hearing that's problematic, Rush.

2. .....go to jail for money laundering.

3. "REAL FUN TO WATCH, IF YOU GET MY DRIFT, ...a-hem..."

So Flush Windbag thought possibly watching innocent people getting wounded if not killed would be fun to watch?

I wonder how much fun he would think it would still be, if something like that was to happen while he was giving a speech during a CPAC convention?

4. "driftingly promoting" is much subtler than "subtly promoting", you know.
