The Left's Character Assassination Of Rush Limbaugh

[StoogeWatcher]

The only soldiers liberal groups like Media Matters support are Jesse MacBeth and other phony soldiers.

[kevinpaulharper]

SOCIALISM!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[dalekyarng]

Rush Limbaugh, Shawn Hannity, Glen Beck, Bill O'Reilly... these are great Americans.

Thank you for speaking what we think. Rush is always accused of brain washing us... not true! I thought this way along time before I listened to him... the rest of these men just are the voice that I do not have. God Bles them All!

[slavophile1]

Liberals are the antithesis of patriotic.

[JohnnyTorrez]

Love beck, but this vid isn't sync'd. It is very distracting.

[Schemefighter]

JohnnyTorrez: Agreed. I think it was a compression or compatibility issue. Since I started using another type of compression, it's been a lot better. Sorry.

[CharlessMartel]

Conservatives from around the world despise cowardly treasonous American liberals. Luckily, the Internet enables them to listen to Rush Limbaugh on his website rushlimbaugh dot com. That way, they can get the straight truth on what a great place America is and the true conservative message.

[GeorgeDRange]

Would that be the "true conservative message" before or after the neocons? Exactly which division of conservatism is Rush playing to? Is pretending that all conservatives think exactly alike a part of this "truth" you speak of?

[Schemefighter]

GeorgeDRange: So you think hearsay and spoon-fed propaganda cherry picked and confabulations from fascist liberals that are known to be hateful liars is better then to hear the real facts from the source in context?

[kondor26]

Glenn don't be so accurate, libs can't relate to that kind of analysis.

[Schemefighter]

athar077: What you going to do? Send them to labor and death camps? You sound like a liberal or a Nazi. In any case you are a racist and bigot. Learn not to hate; or you and Hillary should go to South America or the Middle East where they like racists, Nazis and holocaust deniers like you.

[BeefSatan]

Liberals, Islamic Extremists, Illegal Aliens, and Atheists will get us all killed. We need to clean up this once-great land. Remember the Rosenbergs? When are we gonna start acting like a nation again, and start protecting ourselves from traitors and invaders?

[Schemefighter]

BeefSatan: Ditto. Unfortunately many have forgot that the main reason the federal government was organized was to protect and defend the United States. People need to wake up and smell the coffee. The liberals need to stop making straw arguments and attacking our own people and soldiers. The liberals should learn to attack the enemy instead of our own people and soldiers.

[Schemefighter]

SonThangMarine your obsession with Rush Limbaugh's sexual features seems to suggest you have a sexual crush on him. Perhaps if you didn't use such childish sexual vulgar language and make such unfounded slanderous accusations you wouldn't get so many posts deleted. Your use of vulgarities is a sign of mental and moral weakness.  You need to learn how to have a civilized intelligent adult debate.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007 "Shame on you Glen Beck!"

On the contrary. Glenn Beck is telling it as it is, the truth and the facts. "Move on", "media matters" and people like you are the ones that should be shameful, for manipulating the truth, to lie slander and defame. Shame on you and the liberals for using strawman arguments to attack Rush Limbaugh on false grounds.

[redmark2007]

If you have a permanent pain condition...you see a Doctor...they prescribe the med.s for you...not your maid....

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007: Regarding the prescription drugs I think what Rush Limbaugh did was wrong, I feel what the public did to Rush Limbaugh was even more wrong. Rush Limbaugh was put in an unreasonable situation, he had no good choices. If you put someone in an unreasonable situation, don't blame that person if the outcome is bad.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007: I've heard doctors tell patients that sticking a hand or foot in a bucket of ice water for 5 to 15 minutes is the equivalent stress of the maximum amount of pain a person can feel. The doctors and medical staff that say that should be imprisoned. They have no idea how bad pain can be. The pain management community needs to be overhauled, they are not doing their primary job which is to ease pain and suffering. To do no harm. To establish a trust (in other words be honest).

[abrandjr]

libs know what rush said. this is about the election. reps have turned to wusses, and to get the lib base pumping, why not go after the greatest conservative in our time. libs are evil and immoral,and our country is in great danger. "God, Help America", not "bless" it.

[Schemefighter]

abrandjr "libs know what rush said."

I bet most of them don't realize the full context of what Rush Limbaugh was saying. It is evident that in the face of the evidence that disapproves the smear campaign against Rush Limbaugh, that there still is no apologies, no retractions. It seems that most of the liberals don't care about the real truth, they are only interested in how they can manipulate it to deceive an attack.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007: On the contrary Glenn is not the one giving the shill it is you and the liberals that are giving the shill. It is obvious that the liberals are taking things out of context and manipulating things as character assassinations, and people like you are gullible enough to fall for it. Think for yourselves instead of drinking the liberal Kool-Aid.

[redmark2007]

Schemefighter: Why do you assume I am a liberal? Did I say I was? Or could it be (as in a Rush limbaygh mindset) anyone disagreeing with your point of view MUST BE A LIBERAL? Do liberal abhor tax increase? Abhor abortion? Abhor "give away" welfare program ? If not...then I certainly am not a liberal...I just recognise bullshit when I hear it..Limbaugh,Beck,O'Reilly,Han­nity..etc.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007 "Why do you assume I am a liberal?"

You're being dishonest by giving another strawman argument. Did I say you were a liberal? On this "phony soldier" issue you have drank from the liberal Kool-Aid, you have been a shill for the liberals smear campaign. I don't know what your core beliefs are war your party affiliation, you claim you are not a liberal yet you speak liberal speak on the topic of Rush Limbaugh.

[redmark2007]

Schemefighter: While I admire you blind loyalty to Rush....I can't help but see the irony in you labeling me "a liberal" simply (there's that word again!) because I see through Rush Limbaugh's act. Rush, did (as ususal) the exact same thing on the "Phoney Soldier: deal..."you can't be a Republican" he said "you must be a Democrat"...when Mike (Chicago) gives his bio., Rush says "Yeah, and I walked on the moon"...what did Rush mean by this and do you see the easy inference that could be drawn?

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007 "While I admire you blind loyalty to Rush."

My loyalty is not blind to Rush. My loyalty is to God, the truth. I understand Rush Limbaugh pretty well because I used to listen to him a lot and because he thinks a lot like me, he uses facts, logic and morality to make most of his decisions, unlike the liberals which tend to make their decisions based on emotions.

[redmark2007]

Glen...juxtapose the names Soros and Murdoch (FOX)...Democrat and Republican....Liberal and Conservative and I think you might be close to the truth.

[jjtsmom]

The "Left V. Right" Paradigm is a lie. Different sides of the same coin.

Bush and Clinton are kissing cousins, both members of Skull & Bones, both puppets for the New World Order agenda. In any event, Rush Limbaugh is an onxycontin-pumping propaganda-wielding sell out to genuine Conservatives. Think for yourselves. PLEASE!

[Schemefighter]

jjtsmom "The "Left V. Right" Paradigm is a lie. Different sides of the same coin."

You seem to have just contradicted yourself.

jjtsmom "onxycontin-pumping" Show some credible verifiable sources that he is still taking the drugs. If you can't I guess we will consider you a liar that is just trying to slander and defame rush. Even if he was still taking narcotics, it's possible he might have a good reason since he had a bad back.

[skruffyvalentine]

The left cant character assasinate Rush Dimbulb because he has no character to assasinate. The entire premise is looney.

How can you assault the character that makes fun of Michael J. Fox's handicap or the widows of 911 victims or the appearance of a Presidents small, innocent child? What character are we speaking of?

[redmark2007]

THE POINT!! He has no character and these ditto-brains supporting this guy are incapacitated to the point of no return to sanity...

[bigbikerbo]

Good report, Glenn.

Context matters. If taken in context, Rush was absolutely referring to fake/wannabe soldiers who were obviously lying.

The Soros/Clinton connection SHOULD be investigated by the media. THere is a very small but very powerful group setting up to run this country. Very scarey.

[redmark2007]

The only problen with Glen's report is he obviously took his marching orders from the "boss"...it's apparent that he did not listen to the entire clip as originally aired.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007 "he did not listen to the entire clip as originally aired"

On the contrary. It is the liberals and strawman like you that didn't hear or didn't listen to the full show. Many of you are shallow and don't follow the full discussion and the context, instead you listen to the words and look for phrases that sound offensive that you can use to take out of context and attack an opponent.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007 "he did not listen to the entire clip as originally aired"

On the contrary. Glenn Beck and his "boss" listened to more of the show than just the pitiful clip the liberals using to slander and defame Rush Limbaugh by editing the clips to be taken out of context so shills like you can falsely attack Rush on liberal witch hunts. Apparently you don't care about the facts or honor.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007: The problem with you liberal ditto deadheads is you just gulp the liberal Kool-Aid like sheep, and launch your attacks based on the Kool-Aid from soundbites and clips that are edited to be taken out of context.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007: Instead of listening to "clips" (crafted soundbites) that have been carefully manipulated to be taken out of context to forward a liberal agenda and a smear campaign; you should instead listen to the full shows and try to understand the full context instead of jumping to false conclusions.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007: The theme of the show was based on some phony soldiers that were in the news a few days prior to Limbaugh's show, if you would've listened to the whole show or follow current events you would've known that. When Limbaugh was using phony soldiers plurally, he was referring to the story "Operation Stolen Valor". I think most of the time he was using phony soldier singularly, he was referring to Jesse Adam Macbeth, and possibly New Jersey Democrat mayor Bob Levy

[VoodooMagicMan]

HIllary is a Demagogy. She can never keep her promise Demagoguery political strategy for obtaining and gaining political power by appealing to the popular prejudices, fears and expectations of the public — typically via impassioned rhetoric and propaganda, and often using nationalist or populist themes

[redmark2007]

"appealing to the popular predjudices, fears and expectations"? Rush Limbaugh has built his entire career on this...thanks to BillClinton and Hillary(his favorite fodder).

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007: There is a big difference between legitimate prejudice, fears and expectations and false ones. Most of Rush Limbaugh's prejudice, fears and expectations seen to be legitimate. Perhaps you are one of the ones that still believe that Bill Clinton did not have illicit affairs, and that all the Monica Lewinsky claims were part of a vast right wing conspiracy.

[redmark2007]

No...there's the "Limbaugh model of the universe" again. Because we differ in opinions...I must not be who I claim to be...I am a liar....a liberal, etc. This is exactly what Limbaugh squealed about on his show that he did not do...and he clearly did. I thought Beck had more integrity than to spin this whole "Phoney Soldiers" thing the way he did. Again, very disappointing.

[redmark2007]

What is a"legitimate predjudice"? Who determines legitimate fears and expectations? Rush Limbaugh? Bill Clinton? Al Franken ? No...each of us harbor fears and predjudices... and they are legitimate to us. Again, to believe this administration is a disaster....it is my opinion (and are probably a reflection of my prejudice and fears)...never the less...still a legitimate opinion.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007: If you are hiring a cashier it would be illegitimate prejudice to base employment on race. If you are hiring a cashier it would be legitimate prejudice to base employment on a prospects criminal record. There are good prejudices and bad prejudices.

[redmark2007]

Good point. I agree.

[redmark2007]

Schemefighter; Good Point. I agree.

[FreshCliches]

Glenn Beck running to the defense of Rush Limbaugh has as much credibility as Kato Kaelin testifying to the credibility of O.J. Simpson.

Why isn't William F. Buckley, a REAL conservative, defending Rush?

Where is George Will in this matter?

Nowhere to be found, because they don't do demagoguery, or build strawman arguments.

[Schemefighter]

I don't think William F. Buckley is exactly in the limelight anymore, he is pretty old.

Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh have credibility. You don't think William F. Buckley would or hasn't debunked the left's strawman arguments in the past. Demagoguery? Sound like you are using demagoguery yourself. There is no need to call in the old timers anyway, the facts show the left is taking things out of context to slander and defame. It's their MO.

[VoodooMagicMan]

You are 100% right. Demagogy, Demagoguery refers to a political strategy for obtaining and gaining political power by appealing to the popular prejudices, fears and expectations of the public — typically via impassioned rhetoric and propaganda, and often using nationalist or populist themes

[FreshCliches]

So your claim is the validity of one's argument or point is directly related to either the amount of "exposure" you have, or your age, eh? Yikes.

And actually, I'm SURE that's what Buckley has done. My point is he didn't do it THIS time, for reasons previously stated.

Now, please expand on why you think I'm "using demagoguery" myself. I'm stating facts, not playing into fear or prejudice.

[Schemefighter]

FreshCliches: Try to be an adult and keep up with the debate. As good as some of the conservatives you mentioned were, they all are in the past, you seem to have romanticized them considerably. We are talking about current events, the topics and tactics are different today, wake up and smell the coffee. This is now, that was then. Unlike you I think a person's age is not as important as content, relevance and behavior. You are trying to evade the topic by attacking with straw arguments

[redmark2007]

What "straw arguments" have I posted?

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007 "What "straw arguments" have I posted?"

The topic alone this thread, you have taken the position of the liberal strawman arguments, to take Rush Limbaugh's words (phony soldier) out of context to attack Rush Limbaugh as part of a smear campaign. You are a gullible Kool-Aid guzzling liberal shill. When it comes to attacking Rush Limbaugh on this issue you are a liberal ditto dead head lemming.

[redmark2007]

In my opinion, these guys could learn alot from the Conservative giants of recent times, WF Buckley, Barry Goldwater, Pres. Eisenhower, Pat. J. Buchanan... if I honestly believed that rush, hannity, o'reilly, coulter represented the conservative base of my party...first, I'd pray to God for deliverence, then I'd leave the GOP. I don't, I believe these half-witted entertainers are a distraction from the conservative movement.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007: Do you really think things are that simple? You seem to have romanticized the past. The fight was different back then, now it's dirty. You can hardly blame the Conservatives forgetting their dandruff up after all this mudslinging. Note that your dandruff seems to be up some to.

[redmark2007]

Schemefighter: You make a VERY GOOD point! And, to be honest, "my dandruff is up"..But it's more over frustration with where do I fit in the Republican Party? I AM NOT A LIBERAL...I just feel our President and his folks have made a real mess of things..and I can't stand it when folks deny,deny,deny...when there is evidence that supports the disdain of the most loyal of Republicans...please excuse my harshness in previous posts..regards.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007: This video is not about Bush, though in a remote way it is related. The video is about the liberals attempt to politically assassinate Rush Limbaugh, with lies slander and distortion. It is a smear campaign by taking things out of context. Much like the political assassination of Bush. The demagoguery that there were no WMDs in Iraq despite it was proven that there was and that the weapons inspectors and the UN certified it.

[redmark2007]

"Limbaugh has credibility"? His credibility in buying the best narcotics in town...subsequently buying his way out of prison? His attacks on less attractive children of a former President? Or how about that fake commie liberal Micheal J. Fox? Using good character and Limbaugh in same sentence are laughable.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007 "His credibility in buying the best narcotics in town."

If you had a legitimate severe problem like a bad back, would you settle for aspirin or street drugs? Why should someone resort to street drugs if they have a legitimate problem? Why should someone use anti-inflammatory's and risk bleeding to death? Why should someone use acetaminophen that can cause bleeding and liver damage?

[redmark2007]

Schemefighter: You really are amazing at how far you'll reach to cover this guy...I wish I had you with me in the war, I would know you'd always be there to cover my 6. Or at leasrt I hope you would.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007: Some of the politically correct so-called "safer drugs" are sometimes more dangerous than narcotics. Would you rather be in such pain that you're driven to suicide, or would you prefer to take narcotics and risk getting addicted?

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007: Its people like you, that remind me of that Latino lady that bled to death in the hospital, while staff slandered her and claimed she a drug addict they just wanted narcotics. They called the police on her, because her suffering was causing a commotion. When the police tried to arrest her they discovered she was dead.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007: Its people like you, that remind me of the little black boy they called 911 to report his mother was stabbed, after several calls and several hours later they sent a police officer to site the boy for submitting false alarms, they found the mother had bled to death. People die every day because they are not taken seriously. People commit suicide every day because they are in such pain and they are denied narcotics.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007: There is a big difference between taking drugs so you can live a little more normal life; and someone that takes drugs purely for a recreational high. In some diseases can be so devastating that I would be willing to risk or get addicted to save my life or have a little bit more normal life (Independence, freedom, control). Or would you rather lay in bed and suffer until you died were committed suicide?

[redmark2007]

Schemefighter: With all due respect, that's why in civilzed nations, we have whhat's called a "script" for medication. You've mentioned devestating diseases; would you agree that the disease M.J.Fox is suffering (eventuall dyoing from most likely) is a devestating disease? Y Are you seriously defending Rush Limbaugh's crimminal record?

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007 "script"

Your vague and babbling. What are you calling a "script"; "prescription medications" or "safer drugs". Since your vague it's hard to tell what context you meant or what comment you were addressing.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007: In the context of "prescription medications" it is just as easy to abuse prescription medications as it is street drugs. Street drugs are also used on the street. It is not the type of drug that makes it abuse, it is how and why it is used that makes it abuse.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007: In the context of "safer drugs". Many of the so-called "safer drugs" are over-the-counter, since the demonization of narcotics there has been a sharp increase in bleeding related deaths, such as stomach ulcers, heart attacks, strokes as related to so-called safe pain medication. Some of them have even been recalled because they are so dangerous. Some of them cause kidney and liver failure, diabetes, ect..

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007: As usual you are being dishonest and trying to change the subject. I disagreed with his attacks on Micheal J. Fox. But that still does not warrant, the slander and lies that the liberals and shills like you are using for strawman arguments.

[Schemefighter]

redmark2007: Often in severe illness, the politically correct fad and gimmicks are not enough or are totally ineffective. Often the drugs they portray as safer, are often in fact more dangerous. It depends on the application and the individual and timeline ect... When it comes to cirrhosis of the liver, today more people die from so-called safe drugs then from alcohol. The facts don't get in a way of the people that are trying to demonize prescription drugs like narcotics.

[gingermax]

The only true conservative is Ron Paul, Rush has no character to speak of. When he's not dating another man's wife, or whacked out of his mind on drugs or taking Viagra powered pedophile tours with his Nazi buddies, he's simply a mouthpiece for Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch.

[Schemefighter]

gingermax: What Nazi buddies? Name some credible verifiable sources. Or are you just a liar?

Or are you talking about Democrats? Like KKK member Robert Byrd, that filibustered the Civil Rights Act or (late) George Wallace that tried to blockade desegregation.

[DNM35]

she is a liar like all libs

[Schemefighter]

gingermax: pedophile tours? Name some credible verifiable sources. Or are you just a liar?

Are you trying to falsely implicate/associate Rush Limbaugh with Mark Foley. Perhaps you're not aware that Rush Limbaugh deeply criticized Mark Foley and demanded his resignation, unlike some of the Democrats. You seem to be a very dishonest person.

[DNM35]

poor liberal minion..go drink your prune juice and take a nap

[Schemefighter]

Sounds like athar077 and Hillary are working on a new world order. Race bait, deny the holocaust, destroy America and Israel then put all other races in death camps to support the progressive party so Hillary can become dictator of the world so athar077 can be a henchman and kill all the non Aryans.

[Schemefighter]

Lord Al Gore might someday claim the only way to save the world is to reduce the population by killing all the kill all the non-Aryans to stop global warming. That would make athar077 and Hillary happy.

[Dronetek1]

Anyone who listens knew what Rush was referring to. He wasn't talking about REAL soldiers, he was talking about PHONY soldiers.

There are just too many intellectual peons in this country.

[apike6]

I lived in Florida where they were having problems with people getting POW license plates as well as other service related plates and they had never even served, Just anothr case of Phoney Soldiers!

[getplaning]

This is another piece of unadulterated excrement from someone whose entire brain pan is filled with terms he thinks are insults but that he doesn't actually know the definition of. Watch how his defense of Rush jumps from smears against Media Matters, to MoveOn to George Soros to "fringe left elements" to socialism. Socialism? So a socio-economic philosophy is now persecuting Rush Limbaugh?

[VoodooMagicMan]

Democrats have to be Mad at someone because they voted to get out of IRAQ and it's hard for them to be Mad at there Leaders so the Leaders pick different things to distract the Dem-wits and the Dem-wits go right for the bait, every time. Sad, they can't even see it.

[HearTheTruth]

Rush is right, again. His term "phony soldiers" was in reference to those who claimed military service and/or awards who did not serve or earn them. The same was said on ABC News 9/24/7. Where is the outrage towards ABC?
