Daily Kos: Rush Limbaugh Encourages Mass Murder Like Radio Rwanda
Rush Limbaugh infuriated the Left on Monday by suggesting the Left never concedes defeat. “But the moment you win the battle, and you know you've won – the war continues. Because these people, they're like cockroaches , they just keep coming back.” The blogger “Louise” at the Daily Kos accused Limbaugh of being like a genocidal maniac in Africa: If you were alive and sentient in 1994, as Limbaugh was, there is one immediate association you think of when you hear a radio personality call the “other side” “cockroaches” – you think of the Rwandan massacre. that is the word that Hutu radio used for months before the massacres to dehumanize the Tutsis, who would become the victims of mass murder perpetrated by their fellow citizens. The Kosmonaut claimed Limbaugh “believes that we have forgotten the Rwandan genocide, and the primary function of dehumanizing language in that horror. Perhaps he thinks that we won't recognize that his own language echoes the genocidal encouragements” of the Rwandan radio broadcasters.” But then she's forced to admit Limbaugh isn't offering evidence that he's advocating mass murder: Limbaugh speaks of a “war” against “the Leftists,” who, like cockroaches, will simply not go away, even after you have beaten them.
