This is priceless:

(Rush) said he quit to spare his fellow ESPN panelists from the media mayhem.

Black leaders ripped Limbaugh, and ESPN was deluged with calls and E-mails from angry fans.

Fearing a backlash, security officials at WABC's midtown offices urged workers to be extra careful. "Please be advised that with the current situation regarding Rush, everyone should be aware of any unknown guests or packages," they said in an E-mail to building tenants.

Um, hello, people, but you're looking for the bullies on the wrong side. It's the dittoheads of the world who are the real threat!

1. this smacks of racism to me!

were they afraid that blacks might get uppity and angry?

[Redbear]

2. WOW

So they do read the email.

3. I emailed those idiots

and told them how offensive I found this story--more offensive than the Limbaugh comments, for one thing. Let's see if they continue to read emails.

4. Bring it on.

What a society. It is racist of course.

5. Unknown packages? Like ones with bottles of OxyContin in them?

Yeah, I can see where they'd be worried about that.

:evilgrin:

6. Rush and others

Just like Rush has systematically gotten his listeners so riled up that they have threatened Daeshele(sp?) and others.

7. Exactly right!!! Gore said not only he, but his entire

family including his CHILDREN received death threats during the coup of 2000.

You can bet the thugs were riled up by Limbaugh.

What kind of coward threatens a man's family when mad at the man?

Oh yeah, the Bush WH vis a vis Valerie Wlson.

8. Rush refused to attend the luncheon

following the address to broadcasters in Philly yesterday stating that he feared for his personal safety.

What he rightly feared was the throng of protestors waiting outside the Union League who were waiting there to jeer and heckle him. What a coward.

9. Ah, how often they project their own characteristics onto us!

But look out, even THAT will one day become self-fufilling, as more and more of us decide to fight back.
