They never learn. Sometime back Harry Reid tried to censure Rush Limbaugh, a private citizen, for remarks made on his radio show that were taken wildly out of context (the "phony soldier" comments). Forty-one Dem Senators signed a letter to Clear Channel demanding that Rush be punished for his remarks, and that letter backfired on Reid big time. Clear Channel gave the letter to Rush who then put it on eBay and raised over $4 million dollars for a Marine Corps charity. Clear Channel and Rush just laughed at Reid and the Dems.
History is about to repeat itself. Rush has been talking about groups like Re-create 68 that want to stage protests and riots in Denver, and Rush has been talking about the wake-up call for America that those riots would cause. He's even sung "I'm dreaming of riots in Denver" to the tune of the famous Christmas song.
Once again the media is taking his remarks wildly out of context and claiming now that Rush is calling for riots in Denver. Dem Colorado Senator Ken Salazar has sent a letter to Clear Channel demanding that Rush be reprimanded for his comments. Did Salazar learn nothing from the Harry Reid letter fiasco? Apparently.
Salazar's letter will probably end up in Rush's hands again, though I doubt it will be worth anything on eBay. It will, however, be worth a good laugh on Monday's show.
