We're Illustrating Absurdity by Being Absurd: Did Obama's Anti-Boss Rhetoric Inspire Empire State Building Shooter?August 24, 2012

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: The New York Daily News and a lot of the New York media, and some of the television networks, are reporting that the Empire State Building shooter... You heard about this? Okay. The New York Daily News is reporting that the Empire State Building shooter did indeed kill his boss. He was fired. He went out there and he killed his boss. I wonder if Obama's constant warfare on bosses and so forth might have led this guy to pull the trigger?
Oh, you ought to see the faces of the people on the other side of the glass!
"Oh, no. Rush, you didn't really say that! We have time on the delay to bleep it. No, Rush! Oh, you didn't really say that!"
Yes, I said it, and we're not gonna bleep it out. I'll guarantee you. The last time there was a shooting in New York, who'd the mayor blame it on? Tea Party people that didn't like health care, right? Gabby Giffords, you name it. The shooting out in Colorado? Brian Ross said the Tea Party did it. Well, here you have a guy shooting his boss for being fired. Who's out there ripping bosses to shreds every day? Who's out there ripping businesses to shreds every day?
And who's out there killing jobs every day?
So, yes, we're trying to illustrate absurdity by being absurd. That's the absurd way the news media and the rest of the left try to capitalize and politicize any terrible crime that they think they can associate with Republicans or conservatives. We've seen it time and time again. So why not give them a dose of their own medicine here? Do you think Obama, do you think the Democrats, have any blood on their hands with this shooting today? Don't be frightened in there on the other side of the glass. It isn't any big deal.
By the way, Mayor Doomberg went out there and immediately stressed the shooting had no relation to terrorism. And that's how we know that the alleged perp can't be connected to the Tea Party, because people like Doomberg and the Democrats think the Tea Party's a bunch of terrorists. Yep, he did kill his boss. So, "Obama's constant class warfare, could it be a factor? Might it be a factor, the Democrat Party and all this fear they're putting in people's hearts and minds?"
I don't know whether or not the Empire State Building shooter used a legal gun or not. I don't know. It's a good question. It's a good question. Did he have 32-ounce soda in his hand when he pulled the trigger? Or, more importantly, had he maybe consumed a 32-ounce soda in the hours preceding the dastardly deed? These are important questions the mayor of New York City needs to look into! The shooter could have been a celebrity. It's very easy for celebrities and politically connected people to get gun permits in New York City.
You just never know.
By comparison, folks, at least 19 people were shot in Chicago last night. Nineteen people. There were 15 homicides in Chicago last week, and Chicago probably has the second or third most stringent gun laws after New York City and DC. And the mayor of Chicago -- "the Godfather," Rahm Emanuel -- is now all for building casinos in the city. He says they want to do it for the kids! They want to build the casinos for the children and they want to get the gangbangers to stop shooting the children and the gangbangers to start shooting other people.
