Limbaugh Brags About Threatening Children of Journalist Writing Unflattering Story About Him
This post, written by Chet Scoville, originally appeared on Shakesville
The right wing, threatening more children. This time it's the big pill-head, again.
During the October 15 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh claimed to have "once" participated in the kind of "destructive reporting and behavior" that, according to him, reporters "dish out." Limbaugh said his target was a reporter, whose name he said he would not "mention," who was writing "a cover story on me coming out of one of the big news magazines, and it was going to totally mischaracterize me and what I do and how I do it."
Limbaugh continued: "[W]e found out who was writing it and made a couple phone calls to the person writing it. And we said, 'You know what? We're going to find out where your kids go to school. We're going to find out who you knocked up in high school. We're going to find out what drugs you used. We're going to find out where you go to drink and do -- we're gonna find out how you paid for your house. We're going to do -- and we're going to do exact -- and we're going to say that, you know what? You are no different than Al Goldstein. You both masturbate.' "Unrelated Bonus Stupidity: Rush sez,
And ProPublica, does that -- you know, that's a Latin name. Does it not sound like something a bunch of socialists would come up with? ProPublica.Yes, indeed, Latin is for socialists. For example, there's the Latin term res publica, which became the English word ... oh, I really don't need to finish this sentence for you, do I?
