OWS: Limbaugh more dangerous than Al-Qaeda

Published October 27, 2011 4:00am ET



Occupy Wall Street protesters, questioned at random, said that talk show host Rush Limbaugh poses a greater threat to American society than Al-Qaeda terrorists.

“They both inspire hatred,” one man told the Media Research Center, but he concluded that Limbaugh is more dangerous because “Al-Qaeda’s sliding its way out; Rush Limbaugh seems to be going up in popularity.” Another woman questioned said that Limbaugh “has a greater effect” on Americans than Al-Qaeda because “he’s on TV every day speaking to us. Al-Qaeda’s not,” leading her to believe that Limbaugh is “probably” more dangerous.
