NPR producer fantasized about watching Rush Limbaugh die on Journolist

The Daily Caller’s latest piece on journalist is up. Here’s your tax dollars at work:

If you were in the presence of a man having a heart attack, how would you respond? As he clutched his chest in desperation and pain, would you call 911? Would you try to save him from dying? Of course you would.

But if that man was Rush Limbaugh, and you were Sarah Spitz, a producer for National Public Radio, that isn’t what you’d do at all.

In a post to the list-serv Journolist, an online meeting place for liberal journalists, Spitz wrote that she would “Laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out” as Limbaugh writhed in torment.

In boasting that she would gleefully watch a man die in front of her eyes, Spitz seemed to shock even herself. “I never knew I had this much hate in me,” she wrote. “But he deserves it.”
 
Rush has been a very powerful media voice for a long time now.
If it hadn't been for Limbaugh, and this sounds ridiculous to a casual observer, but we would have lost this Republic years ago. There'd have been absolutely no opposition voice for decades and the conservative talk radio format would not have emerged.

Frankly, without Rush, there's no new media on the internet either.

So without Rush you'd never get a Hannity, a Beck, or even a Hugh Hewitt.... Even the Drudge Report would be irrelevant and just a webpage to get box office receipts.
