Right-wing nut Rush Limbaugh is in denial about the simmering anger and resentment around this country in regard to the election of the first black president of the United States of America. Obviously, it’s not an across-the-board hatred, but it is present. You can see the growing anti-Muslim hatred, the growing hostility toward Hispanics (read between the lines of the so-called anti-immigration debate). We’ve seen the assassination of Dr. George Tiller, who performed legal abortion procedures for women; the murder of Pvt. William Long, an innocent man; and, most recently, the crazed white supremacist shooting and killing (Stephen T. Johns, a veteran security guard) at the Holocaust Memorial Museum.
LIMBAUGH: For liberals to claim that the atmosphere is somehow more violently anti-Obama is simply preposterous.
It was just a matter of time before the attacks on Shepard Smith (who had the courage to stand up and speak out about the growing angry and increasingly violent atmosphere that was described in the Department of Homeland Security report on growing right-wing extremism in the U.S.). That statement just goes to show how biased and dumb Limbaugh sounds.
