I just have to weigh in on this stupid “controversy”. Just to warn you, I may offend some of my friends who read this. Remember, the Truth sets you free.
I really don’t care about Rush Limbaugh. I have listened to his show – mostly a few years ago while on my lunch sitting in my car – but found it mostly boring. Being a radio man though, I cannot deny he is a real pioneer. He has been wrong before and will be again, but not this time. Fellow talk-radioer (and Mantei favorite) Glenn Beck put it pretty well:
"Jack Murtha is a murderer...of his competition in waffle eating contests."
It's just a little different when you read things with the full perspective, isn't it? If you were a visitor to the liberal hack blog Media Matters, you would see that type of misleading and untrue reporting is standard practice for the shameless site. The "controversy" surrounding Rush Limbaugh this week was just another day at the office for Media Matters "for America", as they took his words so far out of context to create a "story" that would make even Dan Rather blush.
Here is how the MM headline read:
Limbaugh: Service members who support U.S. withdrawal are "phony soldiers”.
If you believe that headline, you have been DUPED. You are being LIED TO. I understand the predilection to assume guilt about people you dislike. I bet most people reading this assumed Limbaugh actually said and believes that statement. Take the time to actually do some fact-checking and you will discover that anyone who agrees with that headline is a gullible FOOL. Yes, even including pathetic United States Congressmen who desperately want to appear to be “defending the troops”. Limbaugh never said that or anything like that. IT NEVER HAPPENED.
Is that stopping the MSM (“mainstream media”) from ignoring the facts and assuming the “service members who support U.S. withdrawal are "phony soldiers”” is accurate? Noooooooo. Do they even pretend to be “journalists” and point out the fact that Limbaugh claims he never said that (and in fact, he didn’t)? Nope. Of course they can never acknowledge what he really meant – the FACT that there are many people LYING about their military service and how the MSM are their enablers. The “Phony Soldiers” are just that. NOT soldiers who disagree with the Bush Adminstration’s policies as has been portrayed. Don’t be DUPED by character assassinating LIARS. To their credit, ABC News’ Brian Ross did a story about these same “Phony Soldiers” just a few days ago: (http://radioequalizer.blogspot.com/2007/09/rush-limbaugh-phony-soldiers-flap-abc.html) That is what Limbaugh was referring to! Period! End of “controversy”!
This is the same crap they pulled on Don Imus. Although, it is not really analogous because Imus actually did make racial jokes. All of this underscores why I will never again be on the Left. Hate and venom are at the core of that world. Are you too a gullible fool???
