Rush Limbaugh says he was not calling for a riot in Denver during the Democratic National Convention — he only "dreams" of it, to the tune of "White Christmas."
The conservative talker discussed the possibility of Mile High unrest this August his national show for a second day in a row today.
"Now, I am not inspiring or inciting riots. I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming of riots in Denver," he said mimicking the holiday tune.
He explained on-air: "Riots in Denver at the Democrat Convention would see to it we don't elect Democrats," Limbaugh said. "And that's the best damn thing (that) could happen for this country as far as anything I can think."
Glenn Spagnuolo,an organizer with the protest group Re-create 68, called Limbaugh "a fool."
"We don't need another 5,000 illiterate Limbaugh listeners coming to Colorado," he said, mocking a comment this week by State Rep. Douglas Bruce, R-Colorado Springs, calling migrant workers "illiterate peasants" as he debated a bill to accommodate up to 5,000 guest workers in the state. Calls to a Limbaugh spokeswoman were not immediately returned. Mayor John Hickenlooper said, ""Anyone who would call for riots in an American city has clearly lost their bearings."

"He’s dreaming of a Rush nation
Just like the one he thinks he’s got;
Where the sheeple listen
To what he’s pissin’ -
Who cares if it makes sense or not.
He’s dreaming of a Rush riot
With every blowhard caller’s spew.
May his public outlook be blue,
And his days left in radio be few."
And, seriously. Mayor Hickenlooper?? You can't make up stuff like that.
