Concerning “toxic waste” - have you seen this atrocity?
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2011/03/rush-limbaugh-mocks-japan-refugees-or-diane-sawyer-or-both.html?cid=6a00d8341c630a53ef014e5fe87f27970c
It IS an “atrocity.” Other than my belief in Freedom of Speech, it’s becoming more than offensive that this waste of sperm is one of the most successful ($$$$) radio talk show hosts in the United States. If he doesn’t shut up soon, the “United States” may become further dis-United – IF one is to believe that the sentiments expressed in Mr. Greed-Egregious’ daily incendiary remarks are honestly the feelings of a majority, rather than a jaded, cynical minority.
This is “entertainment” radio? The Clown does his racist, base-ist-parlays into a microphone and there is an audience laughing along with him? Sick. It’s just sick. Laughing via satire with political and celebrity targets is not on the same level as making fun of people with illnesses -Michael J. Fox - or any survivors and/or refugees of natural and man-made disasters. Period.
All right. I’ve given this Mean-Machine enough of my time. I hope those from elsewhere grasp that many decent, thoughtful, conscious, people do NOT agree with such disgraceful rhetoric…which, in my vernacular, is akin to “heretic.”
On to other uplifting subjects.
I guess it’s time to reevaluate and stock my earthquake kits. “They” say that the U.S. West Coast will be hit with a quake this month. It’s not enough to consider a radiation migration, is it? In truth, a few of the main earthquake fault lines in California rank as low as 47th on the scale of catastrophic damage to one and all. The fault lines in the east and Midwest will cause more damage based on non-earthquake-ready buildings and populace.
Now, whose fault is that?

The so-called “news” media have spent much of the past two decades demonizing the rhetoric of conservative radio talk show hosts as mean-spirited, divisive or a menace to civil discourse. But these same journalists — who gleefully castigate Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and other conservatives — are silent about the vile and vicious rhetoric that spews from the Left’s leading radio talk show hosts.
Since late 2007, the Media Research Center has collected numerous examples of the outrageous of left-wing radio hosts. And, unlike the Left — which attempted to smear Rush Limbaugh with phony quotes — readers can find an audio or video of every one of these quotes posted at our Web site: www.MRC.org.
This report includes examples of over-the-top rhetoric from left-wing hosts Mike Malloy, Stephanie Miller, Randi Rhodes, Ron Reagan, Jr., Ed Schultz and Montel Williams, all of whom currently or at one time broadcast to a national audience on either the Air America network or via XM and/or Sirius satellite radio. Among the lowlights:
■ Conservatives Want to Kill Barack Obama: “I really think there are conservative broadcasters in this country who would love to see Obama taken out.” (Ed Schultz)
■ Conservatives Are Terrorists: “Do you not understand that the people you hold up as heroes bombed your goddamn country? Do you not understand that Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly are as complicit of the September 11, 2001 terror attack as any one of the dumbass 15 who came from Saudi Arabia?” (Mike Malloy)
■ Conservatives Want You to Die: “If, in fact, the GOP doesn’t like any form of health care reform, what do we do with those 40 to 60 million uninsured?...When they show up in the emergency room, just shoot ‘em! Kill them!...Do we have enough body bags? I don’t know.” (Montel Williams)
■ Conservative Congresswoman Would Have Liked the Holocaust: “[Representative Michele Bachmann is] a hatemonger. She’s the type of person that would have gladly rounded up the Jews in Germany and shipped them off to death camps....This is an evil bitch from Hell.” (Mike Malloy)
■ Dick Cheney Eats Babies: “Cheney, by the way, looks very ruddy. I couldn’t get over that. Like, he must have feasted on a Jewish baby, or a Muslim baby. He must have sent his people out to get one and bring it back so he could drink its blood.” (Mike Malloy)
■ Dick Cheney Should Die: “He is an enemy of the country, in my opinion. Dick Cheney is an enemy of the country....Lord, take him to the Promised Land, will you? See, I don’t even wish the guy goes to Hell, I just want to get him the hell out of here.” (Ed Schultz)
■ Rush Limbaugh Should Die: “I’m waiting for the day when I pick up the newspaper or click on the Internet and find that he’s choked to death on his own throat fat, or a great big wad of saliva or something, whatever. Go away, Limbaugh, you make me sick.” (Mike Malloy)
■ Michele Bachmann Should Die: “So, Michele, slit your wrist! Go ahead! I mean, you know, why not? I mean, if you want to — or, you know, do us all a better thing. Move that knife up about two feet. I mean, start right at the collarbone.” (Montel Williams)
If the establishment media were really interested in cleansing the airwaves of hateful rhetoric, they would not confine their criticism to conservative hosts. Instead, they would — and they must — make an equal effort to expose the nastiness that runs rampant on left-wing talk radio. Unless and until they do, they are participating in an act of journalistic hypocrisy. So there......John
