Default Rescued Ship Hostage Hostile

Shane Murphy, second-in-command aboard the ship seized by Somali
pirates this month, is happy to be home. But he's not happy to be
sharing turf with land-lubber Rush Limbaugh, who politicized the
pirate affair by referring to the pirates as "black teenagers."

"It feels great to be home," said Murphy in an interview with WCBV in
Boston. "It feels like everyone around here has my back, with the
exception of Rush Limbaugh, who is trying to make this into a race
issue...that's disgusting."

Limbaugh made the remark to suggest why President Obama might have
appeared preoccupied at church on the day of the operation to rescue
the ship's captain, who was taken hostage by the pirates until Navy
SEAL snipers shot them in a daring rescue effort.

"He was worried about the order he had given to wipe out three
teenagers on the high seas," Limbaugh said. "Black Muslim teenagers."

"You gotta get with us or against us here, Rush," Murphy said. "The
president did the right thing...It's a war.... It's about good versus
evil. And what you said is evil. It's hate speech. I won't tolerate
it."


Limbaugh sometimes does what many of you liberals continuously do -
step on his dong with stupid comments.
