Legislator receives racist death threat from Rush Limbaugh fan

What would be Yee's endgame here though? A little blurb in the police blotter of a secondary newspaper in Frisco, where does that get him?

National news, and making the biggest name in opposition media look bad. That's quite a bit for a state senator.

I see this article was posted in the crime section, and they are reporting on what the official word from Yee's spokesman is. Putting Limbaugh's name in the headline is certainly sensationalizing, they probably figured it would get them more hits. Muckraking, shitstarting, you say tomato...

Some of these posts remind me of those who say it has not been proven that cigarettes cause cancer and evolution is just a theory.

For the record, this story appeared in various media - including this one:

A California politician accuses Limbaugh fans of sending death threats

Rush Limbaugh The threats came in the form of faxes sent to the San Francisco district and Sacramento state capital offices of State Senator Leland Yee, who made news when he organized a boycott of advertisers to the Rush Limbaugh show following Limbaugh's mocking of the Chinese language

And Radio-Info took the story from Fox, and you Ditto-heads know how "fair and balanced" they are.

Come now, it's not hard at all to make Rush Limbaugh look bad. He's survived countless controversies, he'll survive this one I'm sure.

You don't see the difference between that headline and your thread title? Surely you can't be that illiterate.
