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.
One Occupier laughed at the question and answered “both” threaten American society “equally.” On the other hand, a protester took the opportunity to criticize Fox News and CNN while condemning the United States government for terrorism. “In fact, we’re the terrorists going to other countries such as Iraq and Iran and overthrowing their governments to institute a democracy, so to speak,” he said, adding that democracy cannot work in those countries, “so, ultimately, Americans are the terrorists.”
Limbaugh said the protesters’ responses “illustrate in their own words who these people are, how utterly dumb they are, how purely stupid they are.”
