Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter - Right-Wing's Hate Purveyors

By William Cormier

Even though we are electing a new President, right-wing controlled hate radio will still be there. We must address this situation and counter the fight for the heart and soul of America. After witnessing the destruction of our economy and our reputation as a super-power in tatters, it's important that when and if we do elect a President that will represent the people that we also join-in together and advocate for equal time

::::::::

It's sad that the only news items that motivate the right-wing attack dogs are an affair by John Edwards, an affair that's none of our business, but does well to detract from other scandals that are rife in the GOP and constantly pervade the White House.

Rush and Ann are silent in regard to Dick Cheney's recent fiasco when he attempted to figure out how to start a war with Iran. As this news settles in as another treasonous action by our Executive branch, right-wing radio is desperate to bring the nation's attention to other issues that are non-starters in today's political process, allowing them to spew their hate and deception to Americans who have been conditioned to trust them with real issues. We are lied to and given inaccurate and, at times, completely false information. It should be noted that right-wing radio hosts who dominate airwaves, are pushing an extremist doctrine and openly state that Liberals and some Democrats would be better off dead. That's their message. And it's being picked up by "loonies" who live to listen to hate and deception rather than to fact and truth. If we disagree with our government, who has constantly lied to and deceived the American people, these hate-mongers imply that we are somehow "less American" or patriotic than they--because we don't buy into their fascist and warmongering agenda. Lying to the American people should be a crime, as should promoting hate and violence. But in today's America, the hate-mongers are protected and the Liberal/Democrats face a rising array of brain-washed loony-tunes who buy into their constant barrage of hate and deception.

Rush Limbaugh almost takes the cake, and Ann Coulter is running a close second, both of whom may one day face backlash:

Rush slammed after blaming Elizabeth Edwards for affair

David Edwards and Nick Juliano
Published: Thursday August 14, 2008

Add this to the litany of shocking and offensive things to have emerged from right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh's mouth:

"It just seems to me that [John] Edwards might be attracted to a woman whose mouth did something other than talk."

The popular conservative seemed quite clearly to be blaming Edwards's wife, Elizabeth, who is battling breast cancer, with driving her husband to another woman. Earlier in his nationally syndicated show Tuesday, Limbaugh launched into an extended diatribe on how Elizabeth was "smarter than John Edwards" and implied she was dictating his actions. MUCH MORE

Ann Coulter had to chime in, and as usual, her comments are easily unmasked to demonstrate that anything the left does is horrific, while business as usual in Washington, even though it means trampling our constitution and Bill of Rights, is a non-story:


Even By Trial Lawyer Standards, Edwards A Real Sleazebag

08/13/2008

The good news: DNA testing has confirmed that John Edwards is not the father of Rielle Hunter's baby.

The bad news: The father is Bill Clinton.

Ha ha--just kidding! It's almost impossible to get pregnant by having the type of sex Bill Clinton prefers. MORE

We've seen a liberal church shot-up because of the barrage of hate literature the shooter had accumulated. To imply it didn't help to set off his killing spree is absurd. Now, today we witnessed the Democratic Chairman in Arkansas, Bill Gwatney, being assassinated by an individual who might have shot Mr. Gwatney because "he lost his job." From the President on down, the GOP is blaming the Democrats for the country's economic woes, when it's really the failed economic policies of George W. Bush, something the right-wing refuses to admit. They would rather play the blame game without a shred of evidence or anything else that will back-up their lies and misinformation.

Are we facing a situation where it's going to be open season on Liberals and Democrats? People are losing their homes by the droves, they're losing their jobs, and through all of this, Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity, and O'Reilly are barraging those who are already suffering and offering up Liberals and Democrats as the villains, even to the point where they offer to "buy ammo" (Michael Reagan) for those who choose violence because their world is collapsing around them. Throughout the United States, Liberals and Democrats are being portrayed as those who are responsible for our economic collapse. And it's being done with extreme malice and intimidation tactics. ReTHUGlicans or government operatives recently threatened a prominent Anti-war Blog, InformationClearingHouse:

InformationClearingHouse Web Owner Threatened

Are armed thugs threatening owners of progressive anti-war web sites in the United States? Tom Feeley who runs InformationClearingHouse.info says he and his family are being harassed by men with guns.

If the local police aren't taking this harassment seriously, something is rotten in Denmark. LINK

I hope the thugs were nothing more than independent thugs. If our government was involved, it's the final proof that fascism and its accompanying human rights violations are now deep-seated in our government. I would be far more comfortable knowing that our government wasn't involved, that they condemn these actions with the strongest possible language and penalties. The protection of free speech in America is vital to keeping our rights. To allow people to be assaulted and intimidated for their political beliefs is not American, but taken from the pages of Soviet and Chinese practices which we as a nation condemned long ago.

We have donated countless millions of dollars to political candidates. Regardless of who wins the Presidential race, right-wing agitators will still be there. stirring-up a gullible segment of the population.



Authors Bio:

My Bio is as varied as my life. In 2012, my twin sons murdered a Journalist in Pensacola, Fl., for 100K worth of "Magic The Gathering" playing cards and buried the body in my backyard. I was once a regular writer here, but PTSD from my son's actions took their toll. First, I lost everything I had. Second, I lost my fiancee. Third, I almost lost my life. Recovery has been a hard and lonesome road, and it isn't quite over yet. I will overcome this disaster as I have others, and return to college to resume my quest to receive a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism.

Admittedly, I have chosen to get back in the mix and do my duty to help destroy any chance that Trump may have of being elected to a second term.
