Terrorism and the Consent of the People

From the "Worst Person in the World Segment" from Countdown with Keith Olbermann:

"But [our] winner tonight, comedian Rush Limbaugh, suggesting that civilian deaths in Lebanon are necessary to stop terror. “Until those civilians start paying the price for propping up these regimes, it not going to end, folks.” It would be a little less alarming if didn‘t echo something another commentator said nine years ago. “The American people, they are not exonerated from responsibility because they chose this government and voted for it, despite their knowledge of its crimes.” That was said by Osama bin Laden.

Rush Limbaugh, following the logic and ethics of Osama bin Laden, today‘s 'Worst Person in the World.'"

What do you expect from a man who said (and I paraphrase) Feminism is the only way for ugly women to get attention in mainstream American society?

It seems that the only way to save civilization is to, well, destroy it.
