An Ohio man admitted emailing death threats last month to Rush Limbaugh, telling Palm Beach police that he was drinking at the time and sent the threats as a joke, according to a police report.
Acting on Limbaughs behalf, an employee called police, indicating Limbaugh wanted to prosecute. Later, the employee decided to document the incident rather than prosecute, the report said.
According to the report, the conservative radio talk show host received two threatening emails on Dec. 19. The employee told police that Limbaugh and his wife were concerned with the nature of the emails. The emails called Limbaugh a perv and a DEAD MAN, and threatened to kill Limbaugh and cut his wifes head off. Police traced the emails to a 46-year-old Cleveland man.
After researching the email account, police found it had been the source of numerous harassing emails to various people dating back to 2011, including one to Mark Steyn, who has guest hosted for Limbaugh.

(6,119 posts)1. I first read the headline as he was the one who sent them, not that they were sent to him

at first. Thought Limbaugh's crazy was manifesting itself in new ways.

And burned at the stake!

Do they even read what they write?

(15,686 posts)4. Seems like Limbaugh
would be the recipient of death threats on a daily basis.
Off topic: Limbaugh's got another wife? Is this number 5?

he's marching towards his grave as fast as he can put food in his mouth. Plus I want the bastard to live long enough to get his comeuppance.
