Limbaugh is clearly baiting everyone with the crazy. And okay -- I'm taking the bait because it's important to remind ourselves who's running the show on the far-right. And I'm obsessive about the crazy, so there's that.
In the latest clip from his Hannity interview, Limbaugh claims that Democrats aren't the party of life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness. Looking directly into the camera, he says:
Are they for life? Folks, they're the party of abortion.
No, no. Democrats are the party of privacy and protecting the life of people who would otherwise be driven into backalley butcher shops. And we don't need to remind anyone about the 100,000 dead Iraqi civilians. Aborted in the 140th trimester. To paraphrase Congressman Frank, Limbaugh clearly thinks life begins at conception and ends at birth.
Liberty? UH. People are trying to pass any law they can to restrict where you can go, what you can do when you get there, where you can eat, what you can eat, what you can smoke, when you can smoke, what kind of baby you can have, all these things. UH.
Wait -- whah? What kind of baby you can have? Does anyone know what the f-ck he's talking about here or is he just stoned again? Also, if I recall correctly, it was Limbaugh and his fellow pee-pants-dancers who were more than willing to give up explicitly-defined constitutional liberties -- you know, things like like privacy (see previous remarks) -- for the sake of a little extra security. The "you can't have liberty if you're dead" reasoning.
Happiness? I have yet to see a happy liberal. I have yet to see a happy Democrat. They're always angry about things.
There were 2 million Democrats in Washington on Tuesday who were plenty happy.
The bizarro, opposite-day reasoning of the far-right isn't cowering underground. If nothing else, they're going to be louder and crazier than ever before. Simply put: Remember the 1990s?
