Rush Limbaugh Encourages Violence By Calling Planned Parenthood a Death Squad
Here we go again. Despite the shocking rise in Right Wing violence in this country, it seems that the conservatives will continue their pattern of reckless encouragement of violent uprising no matter what the consequences. While President Obama and many others call for sanity and for taking a real look at what if anything we as a nation can do to discourage and prevent the kinds of tragedies we've seen in Tucson, in Aurora, and in Milwaukee, the Right Wing seems determined to cause more such incidents.
I guess the fortunate thing is that there aren't many people left still listening to the Drugster, but with the help of Matt Drudge and the wonderful folks at Right Wing smear sites like Daily Caller and WorldNet Daily, the message of hate will undoubtedly make the rounds anyway.
But tomorrow or next week or next month when another deranged Right Winger decides to blow up a Planned Parenthood clinic, will the conservatives really have the gall to defend Rush Limbaugh and claim that he had nothing to do with it?

Rush Limbaugh Encourages Violence By Calling Planned Parenthood a Death Squad
By: Jason Easley
August 8th, 2012
Rush Limbaugh set the stage for extremist violence against Planned Parenthood today by equating them to death squads.
Limbaugh said, “So they say now in the Huffington Puffington Post that Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital way way back when it was originally founded was seeded with money from Latin American death squads. Let me ask you a question. What the difference in that that and the Democrats being funded and underwritten by Planned Parenthood and NARAL? If they’re not death squads, I don’t know what is. How many abortions every year? 1.73 million or something. Is the kind of stuff they are talking about Sneardly, the way we fight back. Okay so you say Romney’s Bain Capital founded by death squads, although that’s a dubious claim. What do you call Planned Parenthood, if that’s not a death squad? Who could disagree?”
Far from being a death squad, the vast majority of Planned Parenthood actually provides five times more cancer screenings than abortions.
According to the chart below, only 3% of the services provided by Planned Parenthood are abortion services.
Rush Limbaugh was not only wrong about Planned Parenthood, but just days after the mass shooting in Wisconsin, his rhetoric sends a dangerous signal to right wing pro-life extremists.
By equating Planned Parenthood with death squads, Limbaugh was giving his listeners a justification for violence against Planned Parenthood and NARAL. With these remarks, Limbaugh has gone beyond opinion and jeopardized employees of Planned Parenthood and visitors to their clinics.
Rush Limbaugh must either apologize or set the record straight before his dangerous rhetoric gets someone hurt.

On the crisp, sunny, fall Columbus Day in 1999, organizers of the “Say So” march approached the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court. The marchers, who were predominantly black pastors and lay persons, concluded their three-day protest at the site of two monumental cases: the school desegregation Brown v. Board of Education (1954) and the pro-abortion Roe v. Wade (1973). The significance of each case—equal rights for all Americans in the former, and abortion “rights” in the latter—converged in the declaration of Rev. Johnny M. Hunter, the march's sponsor and national director of Life, Education and Resource Network (LEARN), the largest black pro-life organization.
“'Civil rights' doesn't mean anything without a right to life!” declared Hunter. He and the other marchers were protesting the disproportionately high number of abortions in the black community. The high number is no accident. Many Americans—black and white—are unaware of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger's Negro Project. Sanger created this program in 1939, after the organization changed its name from the American Birth Control League (ABCL) to the Birth Control Federation of America (BCFA).1
The aim of the program was to restrict—many believe exterminate—the black population. Under the pretense of “better health” and “family planning,” Sanger cleverly implemented her plan. What's more shocking is Sanger's beguilement of black America's crème de la crème—those prominent, well educated and well-to-do—into executing her scheme. Some within the black elite saw birth control as a means to attain economic empowerment, elevate the race and garner the respect of whites.
The Negro Project has had lasting repercussions in the black community: “We have become victims of genocide by our own hands,” cried Hunter at the “Say So” march.
