Media Matters Commentors Consider 'Pulling the Trigger' on Limbaugh

Oo! Oo! Oo! It's MY turn to play Media Splatters!

On October 4, in the midst of a smear campaign by Hillary Clinton's Soros-backed smear site Media Matters, two commenters named "THERICK" and "NEONDESERT" on a post joking about a new smear aimed at the talk show host joked about "pulling the trigger" on Mr. Limbaugh, who they jokingly referred to as "PussPocket."

In addition, one of the disciples of the site by the name of "TBONE" called Limbaugh an "addle-brained Oxycontin addict."

It's hopeless.

The phony soldiers knew when they signed up that they'd be going to Afghanistan or Iraq. But no one warned them that upon their return, they were to be confronted by the eeville VoteVets, who turn them into mindless walking zombie suicide bombers in limpaugh transcript belts, destined to wander the earth in eternal agony, popping up in the media right out of the blue, running into as many people as possible. No form could EVER resist the awesome power that commands them to do such wicked deeds.

Give me my gun. I'll only need one bullet...

May I please pull the trigger?

No, I'd prefer to do it myself.

I may be too cowardly to be left behind to suffer the torture of a scorched earth with nothing but mindless phony soldier zombie bombers. But I have enough honor to initiate the ultimate escape myself...

But feel free to pry my gun from my cold dead fingers after I'm gone and use it as you deem necessary.

"...after I'm gone..."

Neon, I was just wondering if you had, like, some good CDs or some othe stuff that, like, you wouldn't be using after, you know, you were gone and everything...

Well, I promised LeatherHelmet he could have the BeeGees, Culture Club and KC, and Barney wanted my Helen Reddy, Andy Gibb, and Bobby Sherman albums. But I'll let you have the pick of what's left of my vinyl: Abba, Osmonds, K-Tel Disco Daze, and Carpenters.

How are you set for 8-tracks?

I wanted to pull the trigger because I thought you were aiming at PussPocket, not you--sorry...

Now...did they just joke about assassinating Limbaugh?

Can it be construed that at least one of these Media Matters disciples joked about killing Rush Limbaugh by shooting him?

I'll give you a hint - I purposely left out some context that reveals the answer.

Fill in the blank on your own. That's how Media Matters wants it. Screencaps below.

Your move, Media Splatters! I'm running this over to Fox News.
