By Michelle Malkin  •  August 6, 2009 11:37 AM

I’m sure we’ll be hearing passionate condemnations of unhinged talker Mike Malloy’s mob threat from Bobby Gibbs and Josh Marshall any second now.

Civility!

    Beck has taken on Islamic Jihad; I seriously doubt he worries much about… what’s his name again? Never heard of him.

    I love Beck! He backs up what he says with facts. And we all know facts make lefists facists heads explode. Kinda like bleach & germs.

    Boy, what happened to the good old days when leftists only called their opponents vile names and only hoped their opponents would be crippled or disabled. Now they’re hoping for death.

YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW. the economy is built on faith and trust, just as our money, so maybe you should convince your party to quit tanking the economy every 4 years to acquire power. you got what you wanted. live with it.

    But, you don’t have any actual quotes to back this up, or anything like that. You’re just blowing gas… as usual.

    The pattern is hilarious.

    1. The right-winger points out an actual, documented, horrible quote spoken by a left-winger.

    2. A left-winger responds by making up phony quotes a right-winger never said and saying it’s just as bad.

    RSS,
    Rush is most definately NOT wishing for a prolonged recession. Quite the opposite, in fact.

    If you were to actually LISTEN to the full context of his show, you’d find out that Rush feels that Obama’s policies will further damage the economy, so Rush hopes Obama fails to get those policies implemented – thus SAVING the country from a prolonged recession.

    Considering the fact that Obama has succeeded in passing a few of his economic policies, after which the unemployment has increased, the market has decreased, GDP has decreased and tax revenues have plummeted…..I’d say that Rush appears to be correct that Obama’s policies would further damage the economy and the country.

    Not that my response will alter the thinking of any of the lying bags of slimy dung like you.

    unhinged talker Mike Malloy’s mob threat

    1) one person is not a mob.

    and

    2) wishing someone would kill himself is not a threat.

    It’s kind of like when Michael Savage hoped a caller would “get AIDS and die,” or the myriad times Bill O’Reilly openly “worried” about “judgement day” befalling George Tiller, or any number of people whom Ann Coulter wished death upon under various circumstances. They’re not actively threatening anyone, just hoping something really bad happens to them. It’s definitely not civil, but it’s also not a threat.

    Please provide the source for this drivel.

    We know historically that anything with any format and devoid of “you guys” that ILMC posts has been lifted from somewhere else.

    Original source, as best as I can tell, is from secularhumanism.org. (source) The liberal blogs are agog with it, of course, so you see cross references on all the usual sites. However, even the author of the article bemoans the fact that his was the only newspaper in the U.S. that reported on the French book that was released back in March.

    It could be that they did more research than he did.

    ILMC driveled:
    All of you are losers – your children are losers – their children will be losers – it’s just how God made all of you.

    This quote is precisely why I doubt you are really a liberal. You pretend at being liberal, but you do so poorly. Instead, you seek attention and to make a thread about retorts to you.

    It’s classic troll behavior, but you’re hardly even notable as a troll.

    I hope it prolongs the recession.

    when the biggest force in media Rush Limbaugh is out there praying for a prolonged recession on the air.

    that is a lie.

    this is what rush said:

    RUSH: Well, because I’m all for prosperity and opportunity and freedom. I don’t want people to be poor. I don’t want people to be unemployed. I don’t want people to be hopeless. I don’t want people to be misled. I don’t want people to be lied to. I don’t want people to be told that somebody like government is going to do something for them when they’re not. I want this to fail because this is the most expansive expenditure in the Democrat Party and liberalism’s power that there has ever been. I hope it blows up in their face. I hope this thing does exactly what those of us who have studied these kinds of things do. I hope it prolongs the failure. I hope it prolongs the recession. Because people are going to have to figure out here that this is not how economies recover. Government is not the central planner. Government is not control of this. Government can’t do it. This is a disaster. And, you know, I could sit here and say, “Yeah, I’m going to cross my fingers and hope and pray this is the first time this works,” but if this works, the America that you and I know is over, Trevor, for your kids. It’s over for a generation. It just is.

    its rather obvious that this ‘stimulus’ and spending will prolong the recession, and worsen it, just as Roosevelt’s policies, which are very similar, prolonged and deepened the depression.

    Thanks for the info. Not to give this troll’s comment legs, but I read the link you posted, and it was quite compelling the absence of media coverage of this event. The same American media that blasted W for “misunderestimating” would SURELY have loved to carry this story. This group has an agenda of its own, and that would include trying to make a Christian look stupid.

    This question has been asked many times, with *crickets* as the reply.

    To RSS, you’re equating wishing for the demise of a policy that is destined to fail with wishing a PERSON dead?

    RSS- The context seems clear to me. Rush wants this to fail because success in the short term means an ever expanding federal government and a larger disaster in the future. He’s been rather consistent on this message.

    Rush’s quote:

    I want this to fail because this is the most expansive expenditure in the Democrat Party and liberalism’s power that there has ever been. I hope it blows up in their face. I hope this thing does exactly what those of us who have studied these kinds of things do. I hope it prolongs the failure. I hope it prolongs the recession.

    You didn’t really expect Rest Stop Septictank to come up with a legitimate response did you?

    The proper response is, “That is a terrible thing to say. He should be ashamed of himself. I’m embarrassed someone on my side expressed these sentiments.”

    But RSS can’t say that. It’s not what he believes.

    That’s your interpretation of what he said, but it isn’t mine.

    The “and/or dead” is a clever addition to try and equate that with Malloy’s comments, but you are reaching.

    Not really. If you hope for a prolonged recession, that means you want people to die, because that’s what happens when you’re out of work and lose your health benefits.

    Care to comment on Malloy’s broadcast or are you only interested in this Tu Quoque redirect?

    Oh you got me! Malloy (assuming that is a real person) is an ineffectual nobody who has less influence than my six year old, and he should not have said he wanted Glenn Beck to die.
