Montel Williams Defends Suicide Wish on Bachmann Moments After Decrying Limbaugh 'Slut' Comment
As he appeared as a guest on Friday's Piers Morgan Tonight on CNN, moments after decrying Rush Limbaugh's recent "slut" comment, liberal talk radio host Montel Williams defended his infamous suggestion that Michele Bachmann should kill herself by decapitation as being unrelated to the recent Limbaugh matter.
While he was discussing his encounter with a wounded American soldier, he bizarrely brought up Limbaugh as if to suggest that the conservative host's strong words were a dishonor to the people who fight to defend the country. Williams:
I stop and think about all those guys, and they're over there looking back at us. And they're saying: You want me to die for you? You can't even communicate with each other respectfully, you can't even live up to the dream of our Constitution, "We the People," you got to call people names.
He tied in Limbaugh as he continued:
I find that the most despicable, disgusting piece of journalism I've ever seen. And, you know, I don't know if there's an apology that's great enough because I do have three daughters. And, though I may say things about people I don't like because of this political stance or that political stance, I'm never going after a person's soul. That was somebody's child. How dare you?
After host Piers Morgan asked, "You mean the Rush Limbaugh [controversy]?" Williams responded, "Yeah."
In the next segment, Morgan called out Williams's hypocrisy by bringing up his harsh words about Bachmann from September 2011, leading williams's unconvincing claim that his words were not as bad as Limbaugh's and that shining a light on his own words "is absolutely really part of the problem."
He first tried to rationalize his words by asserting that they were spoken "jokingly." Williams:
I don't know why the media decided to deflect Rush Limbaugh's comment and put something I said two and a half years ago on Air America in this context, but let's play it out. Ms. Bachmann said in some speech - and I don't have the exact words - but we should all slit our wrists and form a blood covenant. Those were her words.
And I was jokingly in the morning of my Air America show. When she said that, I played that piece, but, like I said, well, heck, if you're going to do that, just move it up about a foot and a half. What, how stupid is this? Now, I didn't say how stupid it is, we're going to slit our wrists because we want to help people and be compassionate.
He continued:
Now, somehow, that's been equated to what Rush Limbaugh had to say. Which to me is absolutely really part of the problem here because the network that did that is a network that doesn't understand what news is and doesn't understand how to make a report because if you can try to find an analogy between those to, I don't know where you're at.

and don't be surprised if Montel pulls the old liberal ploy of using his MS and/or military service as some sort of human shield from criticism, i.e. playing the victim. He stepped in it so he has to deal with it.

Sarah Palin and Michele Bachman are “somebody’s” child as well. Moreover, they are both mothers of their own children who get hurt every time one of you leftist thugs take a vulgar swipe at their mothers.

I think the problem here is that lighting struck his ear ring one too many times resulting in severe dame bramage. It is a medical problem NOT covered by nobamacare YET. But after the world finds out that this illness has struck 3 other comedians-including Maher, I am sure that the democrats will demand that this is covered by government insurance.

I spent 22 years supporting and defending the Constitution. I knew full well it was for the slime using human waste as art and for scumbags burning the Flag. I hated some of the court decisions on free speech, but that's the way it goes. You don't get to decide what parts of the Constitution you are defending. You take the oath and you do your job.
Now, Sir, if you don't understand the Constitution and what it protects, then please, with all due respect, STFU.

How Convenient, Trying To Rewrite History...
Submitted by TheReal7Sticks on Sun, 03/11/2012 - 5:49pm.
Very convenient of you to be re-writing history by changing the definition of "slit" to "decapitation." As I recall, I heard the sound bite of Bachmann exclaiming that "I'd slit my wrist before I support Obamacare" and I did not for once think she was implying decapitation. To me, it says more about your warped and twisted view of the world than it does about the truth. You may claim to expose lies, but it does you a disservice to invent new lies in place of the old ones.

First of all, it is nice of you to acknowledge that you faithfully read my activist screeds against the Catholic Church, although I had explained in a previous post several months ago that I apologized for the screed that got me banned in the first place, since, apparently, referring to Mother Teresa as a fraud would get you banned here (Not that it ever bothered the late, great Christopher Hitchens in the very least, but eventually the threat of radical Islam began to supersede his other anti-religious views, as it should because it is far more dangerous than can possibly be imagined.) As I said in that apology, the point I was trying to make when committing my bigotry was to show you how ridiculous the preconceived notions of anti-Christian bigotry are in all these other arenas I keep seeing. In other words, I was creating a catalyst to show you what real anti-Christian bigotry was. Did I really believe, in my heart, even half the things I was saying? No, because what I love more than anything is to manipulate people. I am a misanthrope, meaning I loathe humanity in general. But when I see humanity acting with such stupidity, I have somehow gained a new perception in trying to better humanity through manipulation. If it's for the greater good of humanity, then yes, I shall be guilty of that, and I will not apologize for that.
As for the "retard" comment, allow me to be a bit pretentious in saying "Would someone with an IQ of 152 be retarded?"

If you indeed studied Christianity, you must be aware that God gave us all free will. This must be why you "loathe" humanity. Your anger and frustration is probably due to the fact that YOU are now "burdened" with the chore of "manipulation" to redirect our thinking to yours. It must be ever so difficult when the lowest of humanity do not immediately recognize nor accept your imperial intellect and guidance.
By educating lowly humans of your IQ and your messianic purpose in life, the term meglomania comes to mind. Some would say "the Napoleon Complex" but since I have no "visual" context, that one may be inaccurate. We will just leave a diagnosis for our resident genius and that is drsamherman.
