I like that nickname "Sauce." Cool. By the way, Bob. I like that nickname “Sauce.” Cool.

Limbaugh then said that he was dreaming of that in order to achieve a negative outcome for the Dems. It's worth noting that to the extent that there have been riots in this country in recent years they have be fomented by the left. Such as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssjexvaho0g&feature=related" rel="nofollow">this</a> or <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/object/article?f=/c/a/2005/11/03/BAGNLFIAEH1.DTL&o=1" rel="nofollow">this</a>. Correct me if I'm wrong but I have no recent knowledge of anything similar coming from the right. In the end if Democrats don't want to riot nothing Rush Limbaugh could say would result in it happening--unless Dems are totally lacking in self-control.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I have no recent knowledge of anything similar coming from the right. In the end if Democrats don’t want to riot nothing Rush Limbaugh could say would result in it happening–unless Dems are totally lacking in self-control.

His job -- and he has said this many times -- is simply to get as many people as possible to listen to his program. Period. If that means saying outrageous and borderline (or way-beyond-borderline) offensive things, he will do it. I predict that within a few days he will explain all this away as "demonstrating absurdity by being absurd" (another common catch phrase of his) and use alleged examples of liberals/Democrats saying similar things as justification for it.
