I'm really enjoying the "outrage" stemming from right wing news sources regarding Miranda rights. Especially the outrage stemming from an incomplete talking point understanding of Miranda.

FREE Video Reveals "Weird" Trick To Slash Your Power Bill & Beat Obama's Electricity Monopoly For Good: http://power4patriots.com/video/ll/index-l.php?opt_params=%28null%29&subid=%28null%29

I've been watching for 8 minutes, and there's no weird tricks, just a bunch of propaganda so far.

e: 12 minutes, he mentions that he actually hates the capitalism the world is currently using. Companies packaging common components together to sell to unknowingly consumers? Patriots like us? OUTRAGEOUS. Also, there's a bunch of misspellings in the graphics.

oh snap! 15 minutes in... still no weird trick.

I heard a bit of his show on my way to buy a bagel (the preferred breakfast of the JEWISH MAINSTREAM MEDIA), and I'm pretty sure he was advocating the widely debunked "Saudi guy in ICE custody is the ringleader, it's being covered up" theory as of 9:30 this morning. Full on grassy knoll poo poo. Admittedly, I didn't stick around in my car to hear exactly what was said, but he was talking about how "the mainstream media will only tell you about TWO suspects" so I think I know where he was going with it.

He went so far as to imply that Dzhokhar participated in the bombing so he could one day become a Professor like Obama's mentor Bill Ayers.
His opening rant today was just full of Islamaphobia, feeding the right-wing persecution complex, and implying that getting a public education turns you anti-American.

quote:

RUSH: Once again, what are we faced with here today, folks? Once again, we're faced with trying to put in perspective what's being reported in the media about the Boston Marathon bombing and its aftermath.
...
We all owe a debt to a smoker. A guy in his house wanted to smoke a cigarette. His wife would not let him smoke the cigarette inside. So he went out in the backyard, and while he was smoking his cigarette he's looking at his boat. And he said, "There's something strange about that boat." Something didn't look right. It was his boat, so he climbed up on his boat while he's out in the backyard smoking a cigarette, he unzips the protective winter cover that he has on his boat, and he sees the bleeding, half conscious Boston Marathon :ssh:Muslim bomber. Remember that old saying, for the want of a nail the kingdom was lost, something like that?

This guy wants a cigarette. We hate cigarettes. We hate smokers. But if not for this guy being a smoker, if not for this guy being forced to the backyard to smoke his cigarette, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev might still be in that boat bleeding out. He might not have been caught if it hadn't been for that smoker. Now, we don't know because the guy did get caught, and it's all downhill from there. I just wanted to let everybody know. "Mr. Limbaugh, you really enjoy this, don't you? You know that everybody hates smoking and you like smoking and so you just had to --" I'm just pointing out what happened. I'm happy the guy smoked. Smokers do a lot of good in this country, and they're a maligned group and I just wanted to signal this guy out.
...
[From a previous Islamophobic rant:] Let me ask you a question, again based on my observation in recent years. If you are a Muslim listening to this program, and it turns out that a Muslim did bomb the Boston Marathon, how do you feel? I dare say that if you are a Muslim, you can be pretty certain, you can rest assured that everybody in the media will circle the wagons and say, "This is not because of Islam. This is a lone bad actor, lone wolf. This in no way says anything about Islam. It in no way says anything about Muslims. It's just a lone nut," and they will remind us that the vast majority of people denounce this kind of terrorism, the vast majority of Muslims.

So if you're a Muslim and it turns out to be a Muslim bomber, you will be in no way associated with it. Which is fair. However, folks, if you are a conservative out there today, and it turns out that whoever did this has either a real or imagined connection to conservatives? Everybody in the media will unite to denounce your whole group. There will not be the same treatment. If this turns out to be some crazy extremist, domestic terrorist, everybody thought to be in that guy's group is gonna be tarred and feathered as well. And, believe me, that's what they're all hoping for on the left. They are the ones saying so. They are the ones indicating that. Not me.
...
Did you hear President Obama's remarks on the Boston bombings? His heart was really in it when he was lecturing us about not rushing to judgment. He said, "That's why we take care not to rush to judgment. It's not about motivations or individuals, certainly not about entire groups of people." Isn't that good of him to remind us of that? Kind of like the way he never rushed to judgment about George Zimmerman or the Boston cop.
...
And that was my point in the sound bite. Live in denial, barely say the word "Muslim" here. Lone wolves, not tied to anybody. The Chechen president says (paraphrasing), "These guys were raised in America. If you want to find the problem, look at how they were educated."
...
Tom Brokaw is blaming US drones for motivating the bombers. Has anybody seen any evidence of that? Brokaw was on Meet the Press yesterday, and he said, "I think we also have to examine the use of drones that the United States is involved in, and there are a lot of civilians, innocently killed in a drone attack, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq." He said, "We have to work a lot harder at motivation here. What prompts a young man to come to this country and still feel alienated from it and to go back to Russia and do whatever he did? I don't think we've examined that enough. There's a enormous rage against what they see in that part of the world as a presumptuousness of the United States."

Tom, I hate to tell you, and, folks, look, this isn't easy. I don't relish a program like this. And I don't relish pointing out counterintelligence or countertruths. But, Tom, you don't have to go to Pakistan or Afghanistan or Iraq to be radicalized against America. To me, you can be radicalized against America right here in America. You can be radicalized against America in American schools. You can be radicalized in America against America by watching American television and movies and websites. You can be radicalized by professors, many of them former bombers themselves, many of them with grievances against this country. You don't need to go outside this country to be radicalized against it.
...
And we have just learned that the brothers hijacked car. They let the driver go because he didn't look like an American so he was okay. I'm just saying. Just recounting what's out there. They let the driver of the car that they carjacked go because he didn't look like an American. They were living in Cambridge. There are people living in Cambridge who are being radicalized against America every day. You know as well as I do, students are being told what a rotten place this country is every day in the classroom.
...
This is almost caricature. This is almost cliche. This is almost Mad magazine, The Onion. "Sad for the victims, sad for Boston, sad for America, sad for whole communities who will be wrongly blamed for the actions of individuals." Meaning it would be a real shame here to blame Islam or Muslim. A real shame. I don't think anybody's doing that anyway, but that's what these guys are hell-bent on saying.

:lol: Limbaugh declares ciggarettes the true heroes of the hunt for the Boston marathon bombers. That might be the best thing I've seen from him in a while. Because there's absolutely no way I can think of that we would've found a bleeding person being looked for by every policeman in the state if it wasn't for someone going out for a smoke. If that man didn't heroically tell his wife to suck eggs and light his freedom stick we would've just given up and he'd find a shot up corpse in his boat next Bass season.

No doubt we're all lucky that he was smoking and attentive enough to notice but so what?

Do you think he'd be leading with a tip of the hat to pot smokers if this happened in Washington state and some dreadlocked punk was fed up with this manhunt poo poo and went to go rip a giant bong hit on his back porch, got all paranoid about his wakeboarding boat looking weird and caught the guy?

I used to smoke, I think they're unfairly beat up on, probably almost as much as Rush but there's no "there" there. He's getting smug because ciggarettes played a tiny part in catching the Boston marathon bomber, it's just illustrative of the kind of person he is.

beckbeckbeckbeckbeck posted:

-A Saudi national originally identified as a “person of interest” in the Boston Marathon bombing was set to be deported under section 212 3B — “Security and related grounds” — “Terrorist activities” after the bombing

-As the story gained traction, TheBlaze’s Chief Content Officer Joel Cheatwood received word that the government may not deport the Saudi national, originally identified as Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi

-Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano refused to answer questions on the subject when confronted by Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) on Capitol Hill.

-An ICE official said a different Saudi national is in custody, but is “in no way” connected to the bombings.

-A congressional source, however, says that the file on Alharbi was created, that he was “linked” in some way to the Boston bombings (though it is unclear how), and that documents showing all this have been sent to Congress.

-Key congressmen of the Committee on Homeland Security request a classified briefing with Napolitano

-Fox News’ Todd Starnes reports that Alharbi was allegedly flagged on a terrorist watch list and granted a student visa without being properly vetted. Sources close to the investigation also told him the Saudi is still set for deportation.

-New information provided to TheBlaze reveals Alharbi’s file was altered early Wednesday evening to disassociate him from the initial charges

-Sources say the Saudi’s student visa specifically allows him to go to school in Findlay, Ohio, though he appears to have an apartment in Boston, Massachusetts

-Sources tell us this will most likely now be kicked from the DHS to the DOJ and labeled an ongoing investigation that can no longer be discussed.

"Sources" "Key congressmen" "Fox News" All the usual bullshit.

It's pure Pavlov. He's praising things he knows have a positive association with his listeners while at the same connecting a bunch of things he knows they hate. There's really no argument or content here at all: it's just a roll call of cigarettes and put-upon, hen-pecked middle-class men vs. college professors, foreigners, and muslims. The fact that people were murdered seems completely inconsequential, or less consequential than the claim that college professors teach their students to hate America.
