California Lawmaker Receives Racist Death Threat Warning ‘Rush Limbaugh Will Kick Your Ch-nk A s s'

[^_^ 5,021]

Last week, California State Sen. Leland Yee (D) called on right-wing hate radio host Rush Limbaugh to apologize for mocking Chinese President Hu Jintao and the Chinese language by speaking gibberish “ching chong chang” Chinese on his radio program. Yee, who is Chinese-American and chairs the state Senate Select Committee on Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs, said Limbaugh owes the Chinese-American community an apology for his “pointless and ugly offense.” Naturally, Limbaugh did not apologize, and instead railed against Yee the following day on his radio, calling him out repeatedly by name.

Yee’s call for civility did not sit well with one Limbaugh fan, who responded by sending several racist death threats to Yee’s office this week. “Rush Limbaugh will kick your chink #### and expose you for the fool you are,” the faxes read, threatening him with “death” (warning, contains racial expletives):

As the San Francisco Chronicle notes, “The faxes include a drawing of a U.S. flag-adorned pickup truck towing a noose that is looped around what appears to be a caricature head of President Barack Obama.”

The state Senate sergeant-at-arms and the California state police are investigating the threats.

Neither of them have ever used the N-word on this forum to my knowledge, nor in my opinion would they (at least not openly). That's more Boo Yah's or Paul's style.

I was thinking more along the lines of the spirit of the message, not specific terminology.

Fair enough.

No need to fear the Rush. In his usual opioid induced stupor, the only person in danger of dying is the fat man himself of cardiac arrest, should he ever try and stand up on his own.

Seriously, who fears Rush in a physical combat manner? He's in his 50's, and an oxycontin junky, and a fatty. Yes, he's very physically imposing.
