MediaMatters Smears Rush Limbaugh On Kennedy Comments

[captainkill1]

hey alright! Charlie Rangle found guilty!!! Another Day another dumbocrat found guilty!!!!!

[captainkill1]

the only real analyst is rush limbaugh.

[pjmgame]

@captainkill1 RUSH LIMBAUGH IS AN IDIOT PERIOD

[captainkill1]

@pjmgame : he would eat you alive in a conversation on politics and you know it. Your just afraid of him because he was such an influence on conservatives. You think just because he rips Obama to shreds it must me race related. I am a conservative, but I watch both CNN and Fox News. What a clear difference. They have guests like Rap Mogul Russell Simmons, Snoop Dog and Pimp Elliot Spitzer on TV talking politics. Where on Fox News you both sides and they have real economists talking.

[pjmgame]

@captainkill1 RUCK LIMBAUGH IS A SICK BASTARD!!!!!!! Just look what he did to Michael J. Fox. Not only did he claim Fox was faking his disease but Rush made fun of him. He shooked his body around and made fun of a disabeld person. This man is fucking sick. As for politics..he's always wrong. Everyone points it out. Bottom Line the man is a bastard after what he did to Fox,

[captainkill1]

@pjmgame : he said that michael J. Fox was being used by democrats to get votes. They were using him as a victim. that is what i got out of the interview. the dems love stumps what can i say. I think what is sicker is what they did to bush. all he wanted to do is protect this country. our enemies love obama in office cause now they know they can crush us. who is everyone. He is the most listened to radio show host by the way. your out of touch.

[pjmgame]

@captainkill1 No. He claimed Michael was faking his disease. He then shook his body around in his studio and made fun of the poor man. Our enemies love Obama? WTF is wrong with you? Obama is busting his ass for this country. And then you have the nerve too say I'm out of touch when Rush MAKES FUN OF A DISABLED PERSON? Are you protecting his actions?

[captainkill1]

@pjmgame : then why is his approval rating low? Obama has this country where it wants it. totally screwed. He will get crushed in 2012. Just the way McCain was crushed in 2008. Only this time America will see they were mislead. He did not claim he was faking his disease, but that he was enhancing his state of shaking. It is wrong to make fun of some one like he did in a bad state, but I see where he was coming from on a political stand point. Obama's economic advisors are leaving for a reason.

[pjmgame]

@captainkill1 Obama is busting his ass for this country. If mcCain won then this nation would've been fucked. That crazy bitch doesn't know shit about anything. She even fell victim to a prank call. Right now its too earlt to see if Obama will be re-elected. Liberals want to end the war because we care about our heroes. Oh, and Limbaugh wants Obama to fail. Which means he wants the country to fail.

[captainkill1]

@pjmgame: I hope Obama fails too. i don't want him taxing me up the ass. He kills my small business. Spread the wealth around spells disaster. it's not to early to see obama will fail because people are seeing things are not working. Obama says America needs to be like other countries, which means he wants America to fail right? duh. I mean you like chicago politics? He attacks automakers so people won't buy as many cars. He wants the economy to fail other wise not so many restrictions. moron.

[pjmgame]

@captainkill1 So you want the country to fail. IF HE FAILS WE FAIL AS A COUNTRY YOU IDIOT!!!!! We are the richest country and were the most fucked up one too. He wants the economy to fail? Are you fucking stupid? He wants the economy to grow!!!! What's next? Obama is a socialist. Yes I heard that crap too. The reason were not going anywhere is because of this crap. We need to work together and stop fucking around!!!

[jblcva]

Respond to this video... Read O's 2 books and then you will see the seeds

of his anger towards the west. Sorry, but it is. What it is...He told

everyone 3 days before the election. "Quote"..We are 3 days away

from fundamentally changing America forever. The racist card is

getting very old. I am a person of color...Liberal policies designed

to help the poor, have done more harm than good. Just study some

history. The truth can stand by itself.

[pjmgame]

@jblcva Are you giving me a video or a statement?

[jblcva]

@pjmgame Video, are you that lazy? If you don't know the difference

then please just discard my statement above. Evidently you aren't bright

enough to know any better.

[captainkill1]

@pjmgame : your also out of touch because the house went republican and was close to pulling off the senate. boo ya. conservatives love war heroes. liberals like winos and giving the poor hand outs when they should be motivating them to work. If African Americans want to stay in their place, then keep voting obama. He will control them. Feed them. Bath them. I hope and pray they choose otherwise cause I do care about them. They make wrong choices.

[robinhood2be]

isn't he off to costa rica or is he a lierISN'T HE OFF TO COSTA RICA OR IS HE A LIER?

[jensen1901]

Media Matters is not a "smear site."  All they do is monitor the media and point out where mistake are made.

[bluegsp]

@jensen1901 You are either naive or a bald face liar. XD

[jensen1901]

@bluegsp Anyone can go to mediamaters' website right now and see for themselves what the website is about. You can bad mouth them all you want and so can Beck. But anyone who goes to the site will see they simply capture via video what broadcasters say and then fact check them with real facts if and when they get it wrong.

[bluegsp]

@jensen1901 And anyone can Google "mediamatters lies" and find mountains of examples of lies by them. This is not even a point of contention, everyone knows that mediamatters is a George Soro's propaganda machine that has been discredited so many times that no one but the extreme left wing nut jobs takes seriously. Mediamatters is a left wing smear site.

[jensen1901]

@bluegsp

Facts are like kyrptonite to you, apparently. You can't even spell George Soros, let alone have any credibility to try and take down a website that has established themselves as a responsible fact checking media outlet in the eyes of policy makers that have real power.

You have no power, so it really matters not what you think of them.

[bluegsp]

@jensen1901 Mediamatters has established themselves as liars and propagandists and only idiots like you would have the gall to reference them. You are a as big a joke as they are. Anyone who would cite mediamatters is instantly discredited and not taken seriously. You need to pull your head out of your ass and let you brain get some oxygen. XD

[jensen1901]

@bluegsp Oce again, it doesn't matter what you think. You are just some guy who watches Fox somewhere. Journalists in New York and policy makers in D.C. do read Media Matters regularly and take it seriously.

[bluegsp]

@jensen1901 "Oce again"? looks like egg on the face of the spelling police! XD

You are just pulling shit out of your ass at this point. Again, you are not someone who can be taken seriously. You are as idiotic as mediamatters. XD It obviously doesn't matter what you think, because you are incapable of thinking for yourself. XD

[jensen1901]

@bluegsp There is a difference between a typo and a spelling error (obviously I meant to say "once again.") And no, I am not "pulling shit out of my ass." Top agents of influence in NYC and DC do read Media Matters and do take it seriously. Have a great day. I'm done dealing with you as I'm busy. Thanks.

[bluegsp]

@jensen1901 So putting an apostrophe to the left of the "s" instead of the right is a spelling error worthy of a pathetic attempt at ridicule, but completely omitting a letter creating a nonsensical word is a simple "typo". Thanks for demonstrating that you are not to be taken seriously. You must work for mediamatters. XD Only lying propagandist like yourself rely on information from mediamatters that is so easily proven false. You are a joke. XD

[ClaudeParish]

Bob Shrum=Loser. Not just my opinion. FACT.

[Rennpanzer]

Hey all you Republican sucka's out there,

While you're making Rush richer, he's thanking you by making your party weaker.  He's sucking the life out of the GOP in much the same way the neogones have spent the last couple decades sucking the life out of the USA. Keep it up and you may well, one day, WISH you could get as many people to the polls as Ron Paul.

[Rennpanzer]

BTW, that was in, no way, meant as a negative criticism of Ron Paul. In fact, the Repubs would do well to start paying A LOT more attention to him than they do to that individual in the radio.

[tfulker25]

Rush is not a Republican or member of the GOP. He's says it all the time on his show. We are conservatives, not Republicans. We would be happy to see the GOP fail as it is currently operating, so that we can effectively combat the liberal agenda.

Conservatives weren't happy with Bush or McCain. Reagan was the last truly conservative President and he was loved by over 80% of the country at the time of his election. True Conservatism beats liberalism every time it's on the ballot.

[Rennpanzer]

As a true conservative, what is your position on/opinion of Ron Paul?

[tfulker25]

I do like most of his views, but disagree with some key issues.

Disagree - end trade embargo w/cuba, doesn't believe in war, doesn't believe in sending monetary aid to other countries, opposes death penalty, for gay marriage

We do agree on a lot though, and he is a strong constitutionalist. Not bad, but not good enough!

[RakeRocter]

i don't think ron paul is for gay marriage. he is for the states deciding it for themselves as the constitution mandates.

[tfulker25]

1) Rush is not a republican or member of the GOP. He is a conservative. He says that on his show almost daily. He doesn't support the republican party.

2) Rush is not a convicted drug addict. Taking prescription drugs is not illegal. He admits he was addicted to them. He was not convicted of any crime.

3)How many of you actually listen to him or do you just follow what others tell you he said?

[press1500]

...I'm sorry i wasn't paying attention for a minute... isn't Limbaugh that guy that got convicted for prescription drug abuse 2 or 3 years ago??? Is he still around? Did I read that 25mil people listen to this guy??? a convicted drug addict?

[ClaudeParish]

Drug addiction is a serious problem, press. Limbaugh was not convicted. Nor should he have been. Nor should anyone with a substance abuse problem. They should be treated. Not jailed. I think you've let your hatred of a human being you disagree with color your perspective of that human's frailty.

[press1500]

that kind of compassion is absent in every word mr. limbaugh has ever uttered on his show. So for the biggest, loudmouthed, hypocrite in america, I'll show compassion, the day he demonstrates some.

[ClaudeParish]

....making you better than him...how?

[press1500]

because i'm not a drug addicted hypocrite... do you know how much good he could do for his listeners if he just admitted his "former" addiction and helped people to get treatment?

[ClaudeParish]

You really need to research addiction. There's a better than even chance that someone in your life is an addict. No one....NO ONE is a 'former' addict. On this, at least, you don't know what you're talking about. In simple terms (no disrespect ) Once an addict, always an addict. It is how you manage your addiction that counts. Sobriety doesn't mean the lack of desire for that 'high'.

[press1500]

I'm sure you didn't notice the fact that I put quotes around the word "former" because i don't believe he ever kicked the pills. You just re-inforced my belief that he is an addict.

[ClaudeParish]

Wow! I did that? I must thank that wizard who granted me that power all those years ago. I think you reinforced yourself. Which is kind of like calling masturbation 'sex with a supermodel' just because you held up a nudie mag while you did it.

[press1500]

Your analogies are spurious and rambling. Limbaugh's hypocrisy is a matter of public record. Of this, there is no debate, it is not my opinion it is a fact.

[ClaudeParish]

Rambling? Of course my thoughts are rambling, you fool! That's what thoughts do! Or haven't you ever had any original ones? Do your thoughts come packaged as e mails from the "Cliche Liberal Joke of the Day Club"? Really, p. Stop taking yourself so seriously or the van filled with white coated men will come for you! Look! They're at your tent site now! Pull up stakes and run!!! George Bush and Rush Limbaugh are coming to take your copy of "Rules for Radicals"!

[ClaudeParish]

...and if you're going to quote me, at least attribute said quote. Thank you, sweet p! Choirs of Frankens sing you to your rest!

[CptrDctr]

I think the comment was really about an administration that, can't seem to get anything REAL...done. Even though the Libs have the House, Senate and White House! Seriously, the Libs DON'T need the Republican votes...they don't need them! They can get anything they want passed...THEY have the numbers!!!!! WE didn't win, THEY won! So, lets see if what happens. BTW Kennedy has enough money to buy a hospital...he doesn't any health care insurance!

[GoogleSlave]

shrum is dumb

[blyrehs]

Why anyone would listen to a blustering drug addict like Limbaugh is beyond me.

[Speakmymind02]

What everyone should know about the above video besides Bob Shrum's words, is that Chris Matthews used a clip from MediaMatters, a far left wing smear site posing as a non partisan not for profit 501C3 watchdog website, MediaMatters does a rapid response and sends out hundreds of e-mails to their willing accomplices in the Press, like Matthews, looking for the next "Phony Soldiers" comment and hoping something they report will go viral. The MediaMatters logo appears at 3:54

[AroonR6]

btw - Limbaugh has an 'audience" of 25 mil for about 12 min on average apparently...further, no intellectual would claim that Limbaugh speaks to the conservative cause. He's a traitor, and an idiot.

[easymike]

You STILL sound like a typical reality deprived wingnut ditto head. The purpose of Media Matters is to point out right wing lies and hypocrisy. They are in no way non partisan. People like Hannity, Limbaugh and O'Reilly who call it a far left smear site have NEV ER pointed out one thing they've ever said that was not true. Many news shows, web magazines and news papers use their examples because of their reliability. How can you SMEAR someone with the truth?

You can't handle the truth!

[GBTRU]

You are crazy. Along with the rest of you who think there is the Left Wing Conspricy. Your an idoit.

[RakeRocter]

matthews and schrum are dumb. matthews needs to stop interrupting people.

[easymike]

You mean interrupting like Hannity, O'Reilly and just about every other "pundit" on television?

Why don't you point out what they said that was incorrect RakeRocter in stead on venting your pointless emotions?

[RakeRocter]

i agree those other guys interrupt too much too.

i just didn't feel like pointing out that what schrum said was bogus. maybe next time.

[easymike]

So what did Schrum say exactly, that was "bogus"

[RakeRocter]

OK, fine. Here it is, exactly:

"Well, first of all, if you pass a bill as big as they passed, as fast as they passed, right at the beginning of the presidency, they're pretty good at governing."

Because it's common knowledge that whoever passes the biggest bills the fastest is the best.

Bull$#!+

[easymike]

I think you missed the point entirely. The Obama administration was able to pass the bill as quickly as they did because they were well planned and organized.

They have consistently demonstrated better planning and greater competence than America has seen in years. Why do you think they have the overwhelming support of the majority?

That statement by Scrum is a demonstrable fact.

[RakeRocter]

Like one of the founders said, "That government is best which governs least."

How much planning and organization do you need to get drunk with your friends and go to the mall and max out on all your credit cards and write a bunch of bad checks while telling yourself its oh so necessary, and this will be the last time, etc.......?

I don't think you understand monetary policy or the constitution.

Majority schmajority. And since when did you leftists stop caring about the minority?

[easymike]

"That government is best which governs least."

Tell that to the corporations that have been deregulating themselves while running the government.

Which one of your drunken buddies are you talking about and why should it matter to me?

Again you miss the point. It's the centrists and independents that help to construct the current majority. The literate are just tired of the BS that they were fed by ideologues who's only concern was their own survival.

They are also fed up with incompetence.

[RakeRocter]

in my world, big government is bad no matter if it is the guys in DC or the guys on Wall Street. i don't subscribe to the either/or mentality.

do you think anyone like (ideologically) obama even existed on our shores before 1800?..........you dittohead.

[easymike]

What do you mean by big government? Big spending and corporate control does not necessarily connote big government.

So far big government as bellowed by wingnut ditto heads is nothing more than political rhetoric.

Obama is a pragmatist not an ideologue. There are only unsubstantiated accusations of ideology from disgruntled wingnuts.

[RakeRocter]

besides speaking ability, how do you measure competence?

[easymike]

If you mean Obama, should I start with his successes in college, his employment history, his proven abilities as a community organizer or the fact that he ran one of the best organized campaigns in history. Or maybe you would like to compare the beginning of his administration to any in the last fifty years.

[RakeRocter]

Yeah, I'd like to compare the beginning of his administration to any in the last fifty years.

[easymike]

I am waiting ... go ahead make your comparison. I would love to hear your brilliant assessments.

You can start with the thoroughly incompetent Bush administration and work backwards.

[RakeRocter]

you're going to have to keep waiting.

i not wasting any more time with you. you appear to be intellectually weak and dishonest.

[easymike]

LMFAO

Just the kind of puerile non response that I expected. You are incapable of responding logically or intelligently so you call me intellectually weak and dishonest.

.. typical.

[christopherduke]

Give us some examples and I bet I can blow holes in every single one of them.

[easymike]

What are you talking about christopherduke? Do you always jump into the middle of other peoples discussions and ask stupid questions?

[christopherduke]

You unknowingly proved my point. As expected.

[easymike]

You have no point. You haven't even asked a relevant question nor made a pertinent statement. And you're ignorant enough to claim that you've proved something?

Crawl back into your hole.

[christopherduke]

I'm waiting asshole! lol

[christopherduke]

You haven't made one valid point throughout any of your comments. You're clearly intellectually inferior in the political arena. You're simply a run of the mill YOUTUBE hack...and I might add a less than average hack. LMAO

[christopherduke]

Where is his governing experience? Come on, you can come up with something else besides community organizer and campaigns? Should we highlight his "present" votes in the Senate or maybe we can discuss his real estate associations? I think you know better.

[payaza2002]

stop being a hater give him a chance and if they fail than disparge him and stop being a fierce partisan.

[minggnim]

Well...I guess if you eliminate his governing experience...he has no governing experience.

The same as everyone else.

[easymike]

BTW RakeRocter, I have been a self employed capitalist and a political activist for more than 40 years. I doubt that there is much that you or any ditto head can teach me about monetary policy or the constitution.

[RakeRocter]

wrong.

[easymike]

A ridiculously puerile response RakeRocter. If I am wrong, prove it

[baronmorris]

the stock market should not be the primary lithmus test of the correctness of Obama's policies. Period.

[jblcva]

@baronmorris If you mean not passing a budget in 3 years i agree.

Every Administration in modern times has bailed out their wall street

buddies. You and me the Taxpayers are the suckers. Don't take my

word. Look it up, the truth is stranger than fiction...

[easymike]

You sound like a typical reality deprived wingnut ditto head. The purpose of Media Matters is to point out right wing lies and hypocrisy. They are in no way non partisan. People like Hannity, Limbaugh and O'Reilly who call it a far left smear site have NEV ER pointed out one thing they've ever said that was not true. Many news shows, web magazines and news papers use their examples because of their reliability. How can you SMEAR someone with the truth?

[klim8hokes]

media matters?? "in no way partisan"????

Who founded it? Who finances it? Who runs it?

If it quacks like a duck...

[easymike]

You are obviously in need of remedial reading. I have described just how deliberately partisan it is klim8hokes . In fact it is in their mission to point out right wing lies and hypocrisy.

So far as who founded and finances it, you should not believe the mythology propagated by Fox.

Who do you think founded finances and runs it?

[easymike]

Name one point made by Media Matters that was not truthful klim8hokes.

Neither you nor Hannity nor O'Reilly nor Limbaugh nor any other wingnut can do that.

You just hate hearing the truth from them.

[easymike]

When did anyone prove that what Media Matters said was wrong? You still have not answered a valid question. How can you SMEAR someone with the truth? There is not smear in quoting Media Matters as long as they are accurate.

Hiding, ignoring, running from or deleting my comments won't improve you grasp of reality.

[tfulker25]

Dear uneducated people,

News story from Jan 13, 2009 - a direct quote

A spokeswoman for one of the architects of a national health care bill said that any legislation that emerges would be named after Kennedy.

"He wouldn't name it for himself, but the majority of the body working on the legislation would say he's devoted his life to it," said Jude McCartin, a spokeswoman for Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., a member of Kennedy's committee.

WOW - Rush is really mean, huh? He stated a fact

[easymike]

First of all, it is not a FACT is an assumption with no basis in fact.

Second, it is obvious that neither you or Limbaugh can tell the difference between being inappropriate, obtuse or delusional.

[zzx2847]

It's Stalinesque. The supreme leader wants to stamp out opposing political views head on. Maybe there will be public confessions.

[eugeneonegin09]

if you conservatives want to bring up again and again the fairness doctrine, then remember that it is a two edged sword. you could use it against keith and rachel, as much as liberals would against bill-o and sean!

[NoGuff]

"ediaMatters, a far left wing smear site posing as a non partisan not for profit 501C3 watchdog website"

--Started by Hillary Clnton & a few close allies in order to provide her good press & advance her Maxist goals while tearing down Conservatives and sending out propaganda against their goals. All this was in advance of her (failed) run for the presidency.

"MediaMatters does a rapid response and sends out hundreds of e-mails to their willing accomplices in the Press"

--This is 100% true.

[eugeneonegin09]

noguff, what kind of marxist is hillary harpo,groucho or chico

[NoGuff]

"what kind of marxist is hillary harpo,groucho or chico"

--She's the worst kind.

[easymike]

"what kind of marxist is hillary harpo,groucho or chico"

Is this supposed to be wingnut humor NpGuff?

No wonder right wing comedian is an oxymoron.

[NoGuff]

Speak - great perspective in your info panel. The truth shall set us free.

The only reason they're attacking Rush is to focus the Leftist power via their minions & orgs to eventually take the Republican party down by taking down Rush. Its all outlined in Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals."

I watched Rush's entire CPAC appearance. The claim that it was like a Nazi Party rally is a total fabrication. That address was no different than any other political address, except Rush told the truth.

[easymike]

I never paid much attention to Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals", or anyone else's rules that I did not help create. I don't know where you get your Nazi party experience from NoGuff but it doesn't alter the fact that Limbaugh's presentation along with his radio program tends to appeal to reality deprived Archie Bunker types. But I guess he has to appeal to someone.

[NoGuff]

"I don't know where you get your Nazi party experience from"

--I've watched more Nazi party films than I can count as part of my college studies. So I think I know what a Nazi party rally looks like, mike. Honestly Obama's DNC acceptance speech had far more Nazi rally similarities than the CPAC speech. At CPAC they chanted "USA-USA." At Obama's speech they chanted "Yes-we-can-yes-we-can."

"appeal to reality deprived Archie Bunker types"

--And I suppose thats your scientific conclusion, huh?

[easymike]

I gather that you've never counted how many time's Hannity, Limbaugh, O'Reilly and other Fox commentators get caught lying and debunked in a week while still maintaining an audience. Yea, it's pretty scientific.

On the other hand people yell USA, USA at the Olympic's.

[statictruth]

In short:

Liberals hate common sense.

I'd probably find the ending of Superman III more surprising the100th time than knowing the liberal's mission statement.

[eugeneonegin09]

statictruth and conservatives are simply COMMON!

[SkylineTime]

Bob Shrum is a hater.
