They Don’t Know Who To Hate

Limbaugh this morning, per Media Matters:
LIMBAUGH: Ladies and gentlemen, it is being breathlessly reported that the Egyptian army — Snerdley, have you heard this? The Egyptian army is rounding up foreign journalists.
I mean, even two New York Times reporters were detained. Now, this is supposed to make us feel what, exactly? How we supposed to feel? Are we supposed to feel outrage over it? I don’t feel any outrage over it. Are we supposed to feel anger? I don’t feel any anger over this. Do we feel happy? Well — uh — do we feel kind of going like, “neh-neh-neh-neh”?
I’m sure that your emotions are running the gamut when you hear that two New York Times reporters have been detained along with other journalists in Egypt. Remember now, we’re supporting the people who are doing this.
He’s a wonderful fellow, isn’t he? A real freedom loving mensch.
And then he changed his mind. Guess why?
LIMBAUGH: Also, according to Mediaite, Fox News’ Greg Palkot and crew have been severely beaten and are now hospitalized in Cairo. Now we were kidding before about The New York Times, of course. This kind of stuff is terrible. We wouldn’t wish this kind of thing even on reporters. But it’s — it’s serious. And you know, Anderson Cooper got beat upside the head 10 times when he was there. Still feeling it — still feel sorry about — reporters all think that the protestors ought to welcome them, they’re on the same side.
I don’t know when I’ve seen a story that so confused the wingnut gasbags before. They honestly don’t know what to do when they don’t know who they’re supposed to hate.
