Despite no evidence whatsoever, Democrat politicians and their willing lib media dupes spread the rumor that the right-wing talk-radio circuit is promoting extremism, violence, and even murder.
Now we have a genuine instance of vile, vitriolic hate speech being spewed by a left-wing talker and where’s the lib media? (Must still be looking for those non-existent Tea Parties who shouted n****r 15 times at black Congressmen.)
Noel Sheppard at NewsBusters reports:
As the mainstream media hyperventilate over what is now regularly being referred to as rightwing hate speak, liberal talk radio host Mike Malloy Friday actually called for conservative talkers Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Bill O’Reilly to commit suicide.
“You rat bastards are going to cause another Murrah federal building explosion,” said Malloy. “[M]aybe at that point Beck will do the honorable thing and blow his brains out.”
He disgustingly continued, “Maybe at that point, Limbaugh will do the honorable thing and just gobble up enough—enough Viagra that he becomes absolutely rigid and keels over dead.”
And continued, “Maybe then O’Reilly will just drink a vat of that poison he spews out on America every night and choke to death” (YouTube audio embedded below the fold, h/t Brian Maloney).
Incidentally, where the heck is Mike Malloy even broadcasting from anyway? Didn’t his failed hate-radio station Air America go off the air a few months ago? He must be in his basement.
Not surprisingly it wouldn’t be the first time an Air America host called or someone’s death. In 2004 the loathsome Randi Rhodes recommended doing to George W. Bush what Michael Corleone in “The Godfather, Part II” does to his brother:
“Like Fredo, somebody ought to take him out fishing and phuw! (imitating the sound of a gunshot). Works for me.”
See this 2006 article by Jeff Jacoby for more examples of violent, murderous anti-Republican hate speech from the left. If you haven’t heard of these instances then congratulations, mainstream media: You’ve done your part in keeping the electorate ignorant and uninformed.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: Having listened to virtually every show Rush Limbaugh has broadcasted in nearly nine years, I have never heard him call for an ideological adversary to hurt or kill themselves, let alone for someone to hurt or murder them. (The only possible exception being radical Islamic terrorists). And while I am not a regular viewer of either Beck or O’Reilly, I highly doubt that they have said such things either.
The bottom line is this: Rush, Beck, and O’Reilly’s crime is that they say things and have points of view with which Democrats/lefties disagree. And for the ohhhh-so-tolerant and open-minded left, that alone is tantamount to “hate speech.” End of story. But here you have an authentic example of pure, unadulterated, unbridled, vicious, and violent hate, and so far only crickets chirping from the supposed watchdogs of hate speech in the mainstream media.
If the mainstream media refuses to condemn this instance of actual left-wing hate speech, rather than reporting and ginning up stories of non-existent right-wing hate speech, it is either because:
(a) They actually agree with the left-wing hate speech and therefore feel no need to condemn it.
(b) They’re a bunch of freaking hypocrites who believe that only their free speech is sacred and above reproach.
(c) No one, except perhaps for Milloy’s mother, is even aware that this piece of excrement is even still on the air.
Hmmm. I’m gonna choose (d): All of the above.
