ORIGINAL: Sanity If all he did was say the kind of things Liberals here do he wouldn't be nearly as popular as he is. He does satire and political commentary, but no hate-filled attacks as Liberals like to claim. Maersk Alabama Crew Member Blasts Rush Limbaugh's Hate Speech The second in command of the Maersk Alabama, Shane Murphy blasted Rush Limbaugh when he came back to the US. Murphy called Limbaugh’s defense of the Somali pirates on his radio show, “hate speech,” and said he won’t tolerate it. During his April 14 radio show Rush said, “You know what we have learned about the Somali pirates, the merchant marine organizers that were wiped out at the order of Barack Obama, you know what we learned about them? They were teenagers. The Somali pirates, the merchant marine organizers who took a US merchant captain hostage for five days were inexperienced youths, the defense secretary, Roberts Gates, said yesterday, adding that the hijackers were between 17 and 19 years old. Now, just imagine the hue and cry had a Republican president ordered the shooting of black teenagers on the high seas.” Murphy replied to Limbaugh’s comments yesterday, “It feels great to be home. With the exception of Rush Limbaugh who is trying to make this into a race issue. It's disgusting. The president did the right thing. It's a war. It's about good versus evil. And what you (Limbaugh) said is evil, that is hate speech. I won't tolerate it."
