You know, they don't even try to camoflage their criminality any more...

People For the American Way:

On his radio show yesterday, comedian Rush Limbaugh encouraged Republican efforts to deliberately disenfranchise voters.

I mean, you take a look at the average Democrat voter registration drive, you can take for every hundred thousand voters they register, the cumulative IQ would probably be less than a pencil eraser. So when it comes time for the election, half of them can be fooled in saying, "No, it's not Election Day. It's tomorrow, Wednesday." And they show up on Wednesday to vote when the polls are closed, and the Democrats claim a trick has been played on them. That's how stupid some of their voters are.

Limbaugh then pointed out a specific example of a ‘successful' campaign to deny registered Democrats the right to vote:

You think I'm lying? That happened. Republicans did a dirty trick and sent a flier out a week early and said due to unfortunate circumstances, certain precincts, Election Day will be held on Wednesday, blah, blah, blah, blah. Democrats heard about it, this is such a dirty trick. They were worried because they knew it would work, because half their voters are stupid idiots! They have to be when you look at the way they vote.

Read on...

You gotta love his "blame the victim" mentality. Somehow, I don't think he was using the same line of reasoning (if you can call it that) when he was before the court. Ah well, consistency is the hobgoblin of those of us with ethics and a respect for the law.
