The Left's Character Assassination Of Rush Limbaugh

This is an example of one of those fake war heroes posers, that were lying for a subversive agenda (faked war atrocities) and the left wing media and left-wing politicians jumped on this poser and used him as a poster child for a character assassination of Bush and the war against terror.

Jesse Adam Macbeth (b. Jesse Adam Al-Zaid, in 1984) falsely claimed to be an Army Ranger and veteran of the Iraq War. He lied in alternative media interviews that he and his unit routinely committed war crimes in Iraq. Macbeth began to attract significant attention after the release of a video containing his allegations; transcripts of the video were made in English and Arabic. According to the U.S. Army, there is no record of Macbeth being a Ranger, or serving in a combat unit: he was discharged from the service after having been declared unfit or unsuitable for the Army, before he could complete.

After his release from the Army in 2004, Macbeth purported himself to be a veteran, telling war stories and garnering attention from mainstream, alternative and student media outlets.

He joined Iraq Veterans Against the War in January of 2006, and represented, or was scheduled to represent them publicly at various events throughout the country; the organization has since said it does not endorse Macbeth or his accounts of military service. Accounts in Macbeth's name appear on Military.com and Myspace.com, and both were used to post claims about military service in Iraq.

Macbeth alleged the Iraq War atrocities in interviews posted to the Internet as web pages and video. He was featured in the 2006 Pepper Spray Productions video, posted at Peacefilms.org, Jessie Macbeth: Former Army Ranger and Iraq War Veteran. A link to the video was posted May 21, 2006 on the community blog Metafilter.

PepperSpray Productions video

The video begins with narration, explaining that Macbeth "...served in Iraq for 16 months before being wounded..."

Afterward, Macbeth makes the following allegations, (approximate point in the video noted in parentheses):

He and other U.S. Army Rangers were ordered "...do whatever it takes...to strike fear in the hearts of the Iraqis..." (1:07);
He and other Rangers routinely executed children as part of the interrogations of their parents (6:15);
He personally killed almost 200 men, women, and children, many at close range, and most or all noncombatants (7:30);
He and other Rangers infiltrated a mosque, waited for about 200 worshipers to arrive and pray, slaughtered them with guns, ignited the bodies, hung them from the rafters, wrote anti-Muslim graffiti on the walls, and left bodies in the streets in retribution for the March 31, 2004 mutilation, burning, and public display of American contractors' bodies in Fallujah (9:30);
He and other Rangers shot and killed unarmed protesters and children who threw rocks (12:20);
He personally killed a mother pleading for mercy, and her three children, including an infant, because he "had to."(16:05);
At the end of the video, he comments that the mainstream media will not quote him, which is why independent media are necessary so that truth can be disseminated.

At present, no other known primary sources have described the atrocities that Macbeth describes, all of which are apparent violations of Geneva Conventions.

The video repeatedly referenced Iraq Veterans Against the War, though the organization later stated that the use of its name was unauthorized. It was removed from the site May 23, 2006 after Army spokesman John Boyce said Macbeth had never been an Army Ranger. PepperSpray Productions has since issued a retraction statement, noting "when we learned that Macbeth's service records were fraudulent, we immediately pulled the video and are no longer distributing it."

Jesse Macbeth had a warrant summoned out for him which he was apprehended and booked November 16, 2006. The Pierce County Legal Information Network Exchange lists 2 × felony domestic violence court order violation (held on $20,000 cash or bail bonds), 2 counts of assault in the fourth degree ($5,000 cash only bail, as well as being committed to custody) and 2 counts "other concurrent assault in the fourth degree charges", and interfering with the reporting of domestic violence (committed to custody). There were two other charges against Jesse Macbeth were violation of a no contact order and harassment (domestic violence), but were dismissed against him.

Please keep all comments and debates civil, no vulgarities, ECT...

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.

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.

[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!

[StoogeWatcher]

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

[kevinpaulharper]

SOCIALISM!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[slavophile1]

Liberals are the antithesis of patriotic.

[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?

[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?

[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.

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