A significant chunk of the introduction before this excerpt sounded suspiciously like “He has his faults, but at least he doesn’t kick his dog.”
And, again, projection, with absolutely no sense of irony, in the republican controlled House chamber. Speaker Steve Tilley (r) on intolerant liberals:
Speaker Steve Tilley (r): ….But these aren’t the kinds of things that the radical liberal groups want to make known when they talk about Rush. Instead these liberals who try to put forth the illusion that they believe in a philosophy of tolerance or understanding, they’re anything but tolerant. And they’re anything but understanding
But fortunately there are only a handful of them here in Missouri. I think I read where the latest anti-Rush rally in Columbia actually broke single digits. [laughter] Which, Rush, it’s actually an improvement because they had an anti-Rush rally at the Capitol where there were more media than protesters….
Because we should always display tolerance for people who use their power and influence and microphone to call a young woman expressing an opinion on public policy a slut.
Oh, we understand all right.
“….I think I read where the latest anti-Rush rally in Columbia actually broke single digits. [laughter] Which, Rush, it’s actually an improvement because they had an anti-Rush rally at the Capitol where there were more media than protesters…”

Does anyone think that the general public will ever have direct access to that bust of Rush Limbaugh? Just asking.

I’m an intolerant liberal. I am absolutely intolerant of intolerance.
The intolerance of Rush and the modern Republican Party build walls that keep us separated. As Representative Cleaver noted, we intolerant liberals are about tearing down those walls of intolerance!
As any number of people have noticed, this decision to honor the hate-monger from Cape Girardeau was soooo popular that it had to be kept a secret and held behind guards.

Heh. Frustration? Really?
