Rush: MPs Just 'Blowing Off Steam'
There is one proud and satisfied place where the pictures and accounts of the abuse endured by some prisoners at Abu Ghraib cause no consternation and no outrage: Rush Limbaugh's America, pop. 20 million.

Here's Rush's take, from his Website:

"I'm sorry, folks. I'm sorry. Somebody has to provide a little levity here. This is not as serious as everybody is making it out to be.

4. Yeah
Could you imagine what he would be saying right now if Gore were president? He would be demanding that Gore be impeached for the atrocities.

We all know he would. I wonder, has he blamed the tortures on Clenis yet?

5. Lowbrow represents the dark side of the American character and he
and his ilk should be repudiated by all decent Americans.

6. I've noticed that Reich Wingers have been largely silent
Edited on Sun May-09-04 02:43 AM by mw
I've noticed that Reich Wingers have been largely silent on this prison abuse story. They're waiting for thought commands from their Designated Thinkers like Rush before they speak.

So this is a bad sign. Rush's incredibly pathetic words are the words we'll be hearing from the mouth of every right winger out there within a day or two. With passion.

I don't like the direction they're going here.

9. Rush is tier two as far as thinkers....
The real talking points are coming from the Walrus himself Karl Rove. It's the same one Limbaugh, Hannity, and (Your favorite RW pundit here) reads from.

14. Even dittoheads have eyes
And it's obvious from these pictures that these are not "fraternity pranks" or "blowing off steam".

Rush just looks even more ridiculous than usual spewing this shit.

11. I can't help but think that

Rush, hanney, etc. are guilty of war crimes for supporting this criminal administration with their outrageous lies and hate propaganda. They are indeed part of the problem.
During the entire past administration these same people were guilty of sedition. They need to be tried for their crimes the same as Rove, Bu$h, Chenney, etc.
