Shane Murphy, Freed Pirate Hostage, Slams "Disgusting" Rush Limbaugh

[Brazenly Liberal]

Shane Murphy, second-in-command aboard the ship seized by Somali pirates this month, is happy to be home. But he's not happy to be sharing turf with land-lubber Rush Limbaugh, who politicized the pirate affair by referring to the pirates as "black teenagers."

"It feels great to be home," said Murphy in an interview with WCBV in Boston. "It feels like everyone around here has my back, with the exception of Rush Limbaugh, who is trying to make this into a race issue...that's disgusting."

"You gotta get with us or against us here, Rush," Murphy said. "The president did the right thing...It's a war.... It's about good versus evil. And what you said is evil. It's hate speech. I won't tolerate it."

1. I think I like that guy

[spanone]

2. yes, mr murphy

3. I can't wait for Rush's response

wonder if he'll call the merchant marines names now. You're either for Rush 100% of the time or you're against him.

Glad to see his hateful comments weren't ignored by the guys on the ship and that someone is calling him on his bullshit.

12. And, Shane Murphy just laid

down the gauntlet to rush.."you're either with us or against us here, rush".

rush is always stepping in toxic shit but there's enough idiots out there to make sure he gets the big bucks to do his part in dumbing down America.

4. Rush would've eagerly gone along with the Captain's offer to be the sole hostage

Rush: "Yeah, take the Captain, and let us go! Great idea! Thanks, Captain -- bye!"

10. Except that he had a boil on his ass.

But next time, dammit, he's all in.

5. Good for him!

What are you expecting, WHITE Somalis? It's AFRICA, for fuck's sake!

[MadMaddie]

14. he..he..good point

Rush is an pill popping idiot......

[canetoad]

6. Err....because

Limbaugh is such an advocate for black teenagers?

8. YAY FOR SHANE MURPHY!

Glad he's home safe and I'm always glad to hear anyone speak out against the revolting lovechild of satan and a warthog.

9. limbaugh

next time pirates seize a ship and crew, limbaugh should be
airlifted and dropped on top of the pirates to make a daring
rescue and subdue them on behalf of his very own republican
party.  ay mate.

11. I wonder if Shane

Murphy ever listened to limpbaugh before? Before he was in a hostage crisis situation and heard rush lying about it and being a complete asshole?

Being in Shane Murphy's shoes along with Captain Phillips and the rest of the crew would have a deep impact on one's psyche and the immoral rantings of a hateradio would not not be tolerated, imo.

13. Murphy speaks his mind. His comments since the piracy illustrate that.

Calling out that fat-assed coward is a thing of beauty.

15. I think this is the guy that was on Stephen Colbert's the other night.
