It's always a fascinating mental exercise to imagine Limbaughs
reaction if any of the vicious stuff he pukes up every day ever came
from the mouth of a Democrat. If MoveOn or anyone at Air America
suggested that Democrats lie, cross over and vote for Huckabee just to
disrupt and extend the Republican primaries, much less agitating for
riots, Limbaugh would be blowing out a ****chlight over Democratic vote
fraud. He would announce that it was proof positive that liberals
really are violent fascists. He would be demanding a federal
investigation. He would be on the air every day, literally yelling
into the microphone that the Democrats were nothing more than lawless
commie agitators who had to be immediately stopped, for the common
good. Then some good Republican gopher would find the appropriate
passage of the Patriot Act that allowed the open-ended jailing of
whoever made the statement, and Chimps DOJ might very well look into
it.
But since it came from Limbaugh nobody ever says anything about it at
all.
