Invoking the "counterintelligence program"
(COINTELPRO) http://tinyurl.com/6l9ng5
of the 1968 Democratic National Convention
in Chicago, and borrowing a page from Rwandan
radio broadcasts using dehumanizing language
that incited ethnic Hutus to commit genocide
against ethnic Tutsis in Rwanda, American
talk show host Rush Limbaugh recently stated
on his Premiere Radio Network program that
riots should be incited in Denver during the
Democratic National Convention, (Aug. 25 to
Aug. 28), to ensure a democrat is not elected
as President. Rush Limbaugh also sang on air,
"... I am dreaming of riots in Denver,"
to the tune of 'White Christmas.'
Limbaugh said with massive riots in Denver,
which he called part of his "Operation Chaos,"
the people on the far left would look bad.
"There won't be riots at our convention,"
Limbaugh said of the Republican National
Convention. "We don't riot. We don't burn our
cars. We don't burn down our houses.
We don't kill our children. We don't do half
the things the American left does."
He believes electing Democrats will hurt
America's security and economy and appeared
to call on his listeners to make sure that
doesn't happen.
"We do, hopefully, the right thing for the sake
of this country. We're the only one in charge
of our affairs. We don't farm out our defense
if we elect Democrats ... and riots in Denver,
at the Democratic Convention will see to it we
don't elect Democrats. And that's the best
damn thing that can happen to this country, as
far as I can think," Limbaugh said.
Limbaugh's comments prompted Denver Mayor
John Hickenlooper to say, "Anyone who would
call for riots in an American city has clearly
lost their bearings."
Democratic Sen. Ken Salazar also responded to
Limbaugh's comments Friday, asking Lee Larsen,
senior vice president of Clear Channel Radio
Rocky Mountain Region to reprimand Limbaugh.
"As I read Mr. Limbaugh's comments about riots
at the Democratic National Convention in Denver,
they appear to me to be a clear exhortation that
those riots are exactly what he wants to happen,"
Salazar said in a letter to Larsen.

John Wayne, John McCain, and a Prison Solar System
"Glenn Greenwald" <GGreenwald@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
> once mused:
To this day, John Wayne is the prototype of the
uber-patriotic, uber-masculine, uber-courageous
Moral Republican Warrior.
His imagery is the template that pioneered the
brand that the Right uses to this day
to build up their political leaders.
In 1995 -- 18 years after his death -- he remained
the most admired film actor in America.
The Los Angeles Times said that, even years
after his death, his image "exmplified the ideal
American fighting man."
After 9/11 Peggy Noonan wrote
a column hailing the return of
"the Duke" -- of real men who bellow:
"Yer in a whole lotta trouble now, Osama-boy."
Yet John Wayne was one of America's biggest
and most repugnant frauds -- in exactly the way
that modern Right-wing leaders are. At a time
when virtually nobody avoided combat, Wayne
did exactly that, using the most dishonorable
means imaginable, throughout all of World
War II. Because the most successful male actors,
including older ones, went to fight, he was able
to stay in Hollywood and become extremely rich
playing war heroes. He spent the rest of his life
glorifying every American war and accusing
war opponents of being cowards, Communists
and traitors. He crusaded for traditional
American morality, attacking others whom
he perceived to deviate, while he engaged in
compulsive womanizing and adultery,
repeatedly breaking up his own family, and
wallowing in pill addictions.
Before there was Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney,
Newt Gingrich, George Bush, Bill Kristol,
David Vitter and even John McCain
[ http://tinyurl.com/4sr65a
] -- there was John
Wayne. One finds key parts of Wayne in each
of them. To this day, he's the role model for how
the Right conducts itself and the methods they
use to swindle the American public.
