I’m dreaming of a red August…..
Pablo on April 24, 2008 at 10:33 PM
Well… aren’t we?
AbaddonsReign on April 24, 2008 at 10:34 PM
I’ll bet you dollars to navy beans that there will be more than one.
With AlSharpton leading the pack during one of them.
Will the convention be anywhere near the mint? That would make the riots fun to watch.
TwinkietheKid on April 24, 2008 at 10:35 PM
Oooh, good thinking. I’d better head over there for my share.
OneGyT on April 24, 2008 at 10:35 PM
I’m sure there is a way to cast it as an extremely deep comment.

I hope there wouldn’t be any riots, but it wouldn’t really surprise me either.
BadgerHawk on April 24, 2008 at 10:36 PM
I hope they scrounge up Jane Fonda and her ex Tom Hayden of Chicago 7 fame.
It will make for an interesting contrast with John McCain.

I hope there aren’t any riots. We’re talking about innocent people being hurt, businesses getting robbed, and people’s personal property getting destroyed.
I’m all about Operation Chaos, but I can’t bring myself to actively hope for riots in Denver or anywhere…
krabbas on April 24, 2008 at 10:45 PM
There will be no riots, nothing.
John McCain will renounce the presidency because he don’t want to get involve in a “nasty campaign” and the two Democrats will have a deal to share power.
John McCain wants a clean campaign, he refuses to have one in the first place.
At the end of the year, we’ll get back to what we started: Cursing Hussein and Clinton.
McCain will be here with me in Florida. I need him to help me out by cleaning the basement and showering the cows.

Hopefully they’ll all be rioted out after Denver so they can’t cause too much trouble in Minneapolis. there are calls for just that.

Been a pet pieve of mine since this whole primary fiasco started…the riot wishes. I see it here, and other sites all the time and it is trashy (at best).

Riots will not occur because of the Democrats internal fight, but because of shortage of food supply, high gas prices and groceries.
Indy Conservative on April 24, 2008 at 11:01 PM
I understand the premise Rush is undertaking, I just don’t agree with the path to getting there. Listen, the radical cousins in the Democratic party show themselves to be exactly who and what they are without any help from anyone. All we have to do is point to them. We don’t need to encourage rioting. God knows they’ll come up with that idea all on their own.
thedecider on April 24, 2008 at 11:01 PM
I know I’ve stepped on some toes with that remark, but I just don’t get the euphoria that people have dreaming about it. America doesn’t just have sons and daughters in Iraq, they have them in black and whites rolling across every street in America. This daydream of riots sends a message of ‘you get paid, don’t cha?’ to ever single one of them.
Minneapolis or Denver, it doesn’t matter.

I’m not sure how Democrats acting like lunatics on national television would be such a bad thing.
Why exactly was this the quote of the day? I guess if you never listen to the show, you read this excerpt and think he’s hoping that people die and that businesses get burned down. And if you think that, you don’t know the man.

Brilliant. Just don’t ask me to sing that.
steveegg on April 24, 2008 at 11:09 PM
It’s not a very nice comment or a particularly smart one; being glib over potential violence is annoying. However, there is a lot of truth in it. The left is intolerant of other view points and this manifests in violent behavior (pie throwing; greenies that burn cars, ect) Now put agitated groups of people together, especially in something so critical to them, with the possibility of behind the scenes dirty dealing, and yes, I’d say the potential of violence is very high indeed. I wonder if they’re going to be introspective at all; probably not. In the end, they’ll probably blame their rage on us. It’s the Republicans fault we’re beating each others brains out. It’s predictable. It’s pathetic. But no, not funny at all. And when it’s all said and done, it’s for nothing. We end up with a sh*t president no matter what.

I’m not wishing for riots in Denver. I fear riots in Nov 08 if Obama is the nominee and loses the general election. The dem convention will be a circus for sure, especially if the free love hippies really show up en masse.

Why do you real blogs? Why do you watch the news? You should try to form your own opinion…out of thin air I guess.
If you don’t like the man, bully for you. But at least acknowledge that he was basically it on the Conservative side for a very long time. There were no blogs, there wasn’t anything but CBS/NBC/ABC news and CNN.
You had National Review..and, er…the WSJ? And then you had Rush.
And why would you waste time listening to a ‘hack’? Doesn’t sound all that entertaining.
Asher on April 24, 2008 at 11:15 PM
Amen.
And anyone seriously hoping for a riot has never lived in LA. Or worse: being overseas while your senior citizen relatives were at home in LA during a riot.

Would you jump over a bridge if Rush tells you so?
His words are not made of stone, are not sacred, in my opinion.
You are giving him more credit than he deserves.
Did people listen to him when he “ordered” them to vote for Mitt Romney?
Anyway, let me go back to my funny face and watch a picture of Bill O’Reilly I just downloaded from a porn site.

First off, Rush was not encouraging riots. He played those Al Sharpton clips MONTHS ago. Either HA or MM’s site had postings about the Recreate68 stuff. Rush didn’t say anything that the left hasn’t already threatened to do. Just go look at the Recreate 68 site.
Look how that Bush-bashing creep punched an 11 yr old in a WHEELCHAIR. They are violent, and all the pandering to them is going to come to a head. I pray no innocents are hurt, but to act like the convention will be peaceful is ridiculous.

Let’s pause for a second and remember the positive in all this. The radical left in 1968 won. They won the Vietnam war. They defined the age in thought and fashion. Now, they are looked at just weirdos and are mostly ignored in even places as liberal as where I live. Admittedly, Berkeley is an exception, but you’ll always have a few. And they appear to be losing Iraq–unless Obama wins.

Rush has a rule when it comes to campaign themes. When what’s good for your party is bad for America, you have come to very bad place, politically. We don’t want riots–a lot of innocent people get hurt, especially police personnel. And if the caller was quoting Rush correctly,
then Rush is breaking his own rule.

NCJeff on April 25, 2008 at 12:04 AM
I thought “Christmas in August” is just a movie.
Some of you on this thread are sick, mentally. No one should wish for riots of any kind in the U.S. Rush is an idiot on this, even if this is mockery of the Left. It would be blamed on Bush not being able to put it down fast enough, just like New Orleans. That’s the last thing we need this year. Let the dems figure out how to select a candidate.
Indy Conservative is absolutely right that Rush is just an entertaining figure, with a big ego. If listening to him is your thing, have at it. I’m addicted to HA, for example. But to think that he is that influential is silly. He had no effect on the primaries, and is now trying hard to make up for that failure. This clusterf on the left would be happening without Operation Chaos. If you want to believe otherwise, have at it.
Now, this makes a lot of sense, and has my 100% blessing:
And this too:
And Indy, you’re in the handful of HA commenters whom I really cherish. Anyone with a goat, cows (real or imaginary), this much caustic wit, and who writes in such short and cohesive sentences, is really cool. You’re a one independent and smart cookie. You can tell me all you want that this made your ars cheecks blush. You make me think, and you make me laugh, and you tell me all the time “being independent is great”. For that I thank you.

Speaking of potential burning at the convention, I hope those rioters are mindful of any fires they start. The CO2 emitted would contribute to their precious Global Warming (Hoax)! Oh and think of all the environmental damage rioting would cause. I’m sure their shouts and obscenities would be within earshot of a spotted owl or something and cause it some harm.

They hold us beneath contempt, which is sad but it’s the truth. I hope McCain is crazy like a fox, but I fear he is prone to exactly this kind of gullibility.
