Limbaugh: Liberals are obsessed with death

RUSH LIMBAUGH: ...They ['liberals'] are obsessed. Abortion is death...they are obsessed with it. The sacrament to liberalism, the sacrament. I mean, to feminism and all that, if that's their religious, the sacrament is abortion. They are obsessed with death. They are constantly making movies about slaughter, genocide, all this sort of thing, because they want everybody to think they care about all this loss of life, when they don't do much to stop it, if anything, especially in the case of abortion, they're promoting it....I've always thought that they have a morbid fascination with the extremes of suffering. If you look at what the great works of art that they think they produce are about, it's that....their morbid fascination with death and suffering allows them to point fingers at those they want to blame for all of it....death is just an umbrella. These are doom-and-gloomers. They have nothing positive. They don't look up. Can you imagine what it's like every day and be these people? I mean, they are perennially, they are constantly, they are unhappy and angry and outraged. They are mad all the time. They see the worst in every situation and every person. They're convinced that this country has committed all kinds of crimes. You know, self-loathing. You know, that's the best way to describe them....They're just self-loathing. They will sit here and say that this country is no better than any country around the world. We don't have the right to criticize Iran, we don't have the right to criticize Saddam, we don't have the right to criticize that little pot-bellied dictator over in North Korea because, after all, we introduced racism and sexism and homophobia when the white Europeons came and took this country away from the Indians. And so that's self-loathing. They can't even draw distinctions between the goodness and greatness of their own country. They only want to see the things that they can use to tear it down and so death, suffering, misery, it just describes them to me. And the fact that they have a morbid association or fascination with it to me is not surprising at all.
