I think riots are wrong, but if you're going to riot, riot and destory someone else's neighborhood and infrastructure. Anyway, what do they hope to accomplish with riots outside the convention? As I recall the violence outisde the convention in '68, and the reactions to them by the party, were a big contribution to the Republicans (i.e. Nixon) getting elected that year. Are these guys closet Republicans who want to make the Dems look bad so McCain can get elected? Shouldn't anti-war protesters be outside the REPUBLICAN convention?

And for the record - the issues in `68 were far different. Mostly, it was the vietnam war, coupled with the draft. About 50,000 dead americans - many of them drafted into service against their will - was a powerful motivation for draft age voters to express their outrage. Not to mention that they had just witnessed their "end the war" candidate assassinated a month before the convention. By a muslim.

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan No, what Rush is doing is encouraging his minions to insert themselves into the process. To get in there and muck up the vote all they can.

They care about advancing their conservative agenda, the one that's done such great things for the country in the last 7 years. They're not very bright. Most of them don't hold the drug addict accountable for a thing. Luckily, there actually are some of his listeners and some Republicans who know that he has once again gone too far with his nonsense, and their sense of fair play and their patriotism allows them to speak up about it. Rush hates that a lot, and he'll probably call the RINO's or something brilliant. Your hero is a heck of an American.

Limbaugh can't exactly endorse McCain after all the cute radio skits he's done over the years calling him all sorts of things. So instead, he decides to root for riots, decides to encourage people to jimmy with the election process. Yeah, that's one great American right there. I can see why people would want to line up behind him as dittoheads.
