Why can Rush Limbaugh calling for Riots be considered ok when Rev Wright;'s statements are condemned
Every Republican that has taken shots at Obama but are friends with Rush Limbaugh must end their friendship and condemn their relationship with him now.

Limbaugh is an apostle of hate-it is un american to support someone who wants violence in the political process

1. I agree. The first thing I thought when I heard this was "terrorism".
He is a terrorist.

6. He might as well have helped Tim McVeigh pack that truck full of explosives himself.
It was his hateful invective, along with the rest of the RW howler monkey chorus, that fomented the rage of lunatics like McVeigh. Limbaugh was practically daring someone to attack the government.

2. When white people incite riots it's harmless fun.
When a black person points out uncomfortable truths about America, it's terrorism.

5. Because he's a Republican
It's really that simple. Republicans can do or say what they like and get away with it.

7. Can you imagine the uproar if someone who supported Obama
had advocated for riots in the US? It would be headlines on every news channel right now. The simple answere to your question is because Wright is black and Rush is white.

9. Calling for a civil disturbance at a national event warrants a visit from the FBI
Yo, Agent Mike.

11. Can you document that for us please?
I would love to have it, but I don't listen to the guy.

An audio link would be nice, but a date, time, location or whatever would be good too.
