Hate Speech Resides on the Left

I thought conservatives were the only group that was guilty of hate speech until I heard Jon Stewart’s rant on Rush Limbaugh. But, that was preceded by New York Governor David Paterson. And, that was preceded by David Letterman. Limbaugh is a tough football loving brute, but even three libs throwing illegal chop blocks can’t take Rush down. Odd how they accuse us of hate speech when in fact they are guilty three times this week. Three strikes and you’re out!

First, Letterman said Rush was too smart to believe what he says and should be the head of the Republican Party because he’s tubby. Second, Governor Paterson bashes Rush for announcing his intention to sell his Fifth Avenue condo because of high taxes and being audited ad nauseum. But, those incidents were mild compared to the idiotic rant by pseudo-comedian Jon Stewart who tells Rush to “get the fxxx out of here.” Stewart didn’t stop at that: “For years, for years, for years, New Yorkers have done everything in our power to get this guy to leave town. We knew he was into drugs, so we cleaned up Times Square. We even opened up a Disney store in the very place he would normally go to buy drugs.” The reference was Rush’s dependence on pain killers which he openly admitted on his show facing his problem honestly and ultimately winning his battle. But Stewart let his anger get the best of him and the hate spewed forth declaring everyone who smokes a cigar is a “douchebag.” And, then….”We outlawed murder, figuring he was a guy with a taste for it.”

I wonder how many times Stewart has really listened to Limbaugh? For liberals, it’s much easier to not listen and engage in criticism. The odd thing here is that Rush’s ratings are #1 in New York City on WABC radio. In fact, his ratings are the envy of the left. They can’t figure it out. Why would anyone want to listen to a “douchebag?” Well, I guess millions of us are “douchebags.” I’m a proud “douchebag” and I’m happy to say I am a proud, loud listener of Rush Limbaugh!

This deep hatred of the right began years ago when we stopped such things as “free health care.” Let me think…who pays for free health care? The hate increased when Bill Clinton was blown away by Monica…oh sorry. It increased when GW defeated Al (make me a billionaire global warming) Gore. But, the left became incredulous when GW defeated John Kerry and won a second term. They couldn’t believe it. So, they formed left-wing smear groups such as Media Matters to charge conservative media personalities with hate speech every chance they could.

What ever happened to comedians who used politics but avoided political commentary?. Today, the pseudo-comedians couldn’t exist without letting their bias bleed through.

It boils down to this. Jon Stewart is jealous of Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh makes more money and has a much more loyal audience. And, Rush has had 21 years of national success. Jon Stewart is a comparative lightweight who has to mock someone with hate to get noticed. Well, he did get noticed. We noticed his hate speech and won’t forget it next time the left accuses our side of it. Can’t they rest it? They won! But, they won’t rest until they have destroyed conservative thought in America because they simply know best.

Well, bring it on David. Bring it on Governor. Bring it on Stewart. Every time you whine about Rush, his ratings go up. We know who the real winner is.
