RUSH: All right, here's the Christmas Stack. I told you about this earlier. I've got story after story here about how rotten things are at Christmas, how angry people are, and it's just amazing. It is a great illustration of where the Drive-By Media is and the chaos they are continuing to try to create out there.
The first story is from New London, Connecticut. "The woman at the center of the national battle over property rights has some less-than-joyous tidings for the people involved in using eminent domain to take her house to make way for private development. However, at least one recipient of Susette Keloâs unmerry greeting has put it on his mantel with his other cards. Keloâs cards feature a snowy image of her pink house and a message that reads, in part: 'Your houses, your homes, your family, your friends. May they live in misery that never ends. I curse you all. May you rot in hell. To each of you I send this spell.' The cards were sent to city officials and members of New Londonâs development agency. The U.S. Supreme Court," as you know, "ruled in June 2005 that New London had the right to take homes in her Fort Trumbull neighborhood to make way for a riverfront project that will include condominiums, a hotel and office space. 'My card was meant as much in humor as it was in frustration,' she said.
"'What I wrote shouldn't be taken as my literal wish for anyone. I'm heartbroken that this will be my last Christmas in Fort Trumbull and what I wrote rose out of that fact, but the bottom line is, it was over the top.' ... 'It's amazing anyone could be so vindictive when they've made so much money,' said Gail Schwenker-Mayer, a development supporter who got one of the cards." In this case, it's not about the money, Gail Schwenker-Mayer. "New London Development Corp. member Reid Burdick said he put the card on his mantel with his other Christmas greetings. 'I still feel bad for Susette, he said. 'The sorry part of this is that the things she's angry about were not done to be mean-spirited toward her personally.'" Oh, no, of course not! Just taking her home away from her? There's nothing personal about that. Why would anybody think that that was personal. Well, I certainly wouldn't. If somebody came and said, "Your home is ours, Limbaugh. We're making way here for a new casino. Your property taxes are big, but we can get more from bigger people. But don't take it personally, Limbaugh." No, of course I wouldn't! Of course not! Why would anybody take it personally?
