A couple of interesting pieces on NPR's "On The Media" Monday night. First, an unusual reference to our very own Senator Mark Pryor. We always thought he was Baptist, but one religion writer says he really belongs to an elite evangelical movement called "The Family." Our recollection was that "The Family" referred to the followers of one, Charlie Manson. To see our Senator lumped in with Sam B

He sits behind his golden microphone each week day and broadcasts to millions of loyal conservatives across the nation. He cajoles the tedious Democrat Campaign over the airwaves and urges his myriads of listeners to dedicate their primary votes to his own cause: Operation Chaos.Rush believes that Republicans can screw up the Democrat nomination’s process and thus render a death blow to the Democrat hopefuls in November. He has faith in his own audience and his conception; the only thing wrong with that is this: it’s un-American.Instead of letting the American people vote for their own candidates in these final races, Rush wants to spoil the whole process. Depending upon who is the underdog in each State, Rush urges his listeners to vote for either Hillary or Obama. He wants the race t
Freedom of Speech is a vital liberty, but I always thought that speech inciting violence was not protected. It appears that notorious right-wing windbag, Rush Limbaugh, has called for riots at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. Rather than seeing his Republicans lose, he'd rather provoke his audience to violence. If this poll is at all representative, it appears he has lots of company. Isn't inciting riots a crime?Tags: freedom of speech, Rush Limbaugh, Denver, Democratic National Convention, riot, riots, crime, right-wing, violence
Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh downplayed his "dreaming of riots in Denver" statement, saying that he wasn't calling for riots and was referring to warnings of trouble if super delegates decide the nomination at the Democratic National Convention. Limbaugh's comments on his syndicated show Wednesday prompted Mayor John Hickenlooper to say: "Anyone who would call for riots in an American city has clearly lost their bearings." Hear him sing: Limbaugh made his comment Wednesday to the tune of the holiday song, "White Christmas," and said riots during the convention would ensure Democrats don't get elected.

Rush Limbaugh pointed out a very obvious fact today: The liberal media cannot stand when they are held to the same standards as Republicans.

On the final day before voters hit the polls for Super Tuesday, Rush Limbaugh said the following:"Now, I think now, based on the way the campaign has shaken out, that there probably is a candidate on our side who does embody all three legs of the conservative stool, and that's Romney. The three stools or the three legs of the stool are national security/foreign policy, the social conservatives, and the fiscal conservatives. The social conservatives are the cultural people. The fiscal conservatives are the economic crowd: low taxes, smaller government, get out of the way." Now I've been following Rush for a while now and he hasn't really endorsed anyone. It was obvious for a while that he liked Fred Thompson, but he's obviously out of the picture. Today, however, he made the closest t

Earlier in the week, John Kerry was asked about the Swift Boat Liars and he responded that he was prepared with additional evidence to fight them. Even before this interview the claims of the Swift Boat Liars had been exposed as lies originating from political opponents.
At the end of the week another source lacking credibility, Rush Limbaugh, claimed that they “were right on the money, and nobody has disproven anything they claimed in any of their ads, statements, written commentaries, or anything of the sort.” I’ve previously posted numerous articles disputing their claims. Media Matters reviewed some of the false claims following Limbaugh’s statement. Kerry spokesman David Wade issued the following response to Limbaugh:
At first I thought, that’s not Rush, that’s just the OxyContin talking. Nonetheless, this is a despicable but unsurprising new lie from a man whose closest brush with combat came when customs officials tried to take away his Viagra.
Rush Limbaugh must really get his kicks from trying to hurt our kids, especially if they are talking against anything that he believes in.Keith Olbermann talked about the shameful ways Limbaugh has disrespected our younger generation kids. Is he still on drugs?Olbermann shows video of Rush attacking a 18-year-old Inuit from Alaska who was sobbing through her congressional testimony, while describing Global Warming's disastrous effects on her community.Had this been a Democrat doing such a thing our Republicans would have had a field day destroying him for such action. How is it that this man continue to say what he pleases to and about our kids and gets away with it?
Today Rush said, "This is what the Republican candidate must do to Hillary during the campaign for the General Election" and he is right.This is a John Edwards ad, and it is brilliant. Enjoy, and pass it around.
Conservative denial of separation of church and state is clear in the secular nature of the Constitution, in the Bill of Rights, in writings by the founding fathers, and in multiple court decisions. First Freedom First debunks recent claims by Rush Limbaugh regarding correspondence from Thomas Jefferson and Supreme Court decisions which cited this. After reporting on Limbaugh’s claims, they respond:
In the first place, Jefferson sent his letter to the Baptists to thank them for their support of him and his stance on behalf of religious liberty. He also intended to assure them that he shared their hope that religious liberty would spread throughout the land. In Connecticut, Baptists were still second-class citizens.
After thanking the Baptists for their “affectionate sentiments of esteem and approbation,” Jefferson wrote, “Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship,
On the October 15th episode of his radio show, Rush Limbaugh admitted that he blackmailed an unnamed journalist with threats of defamation in order to get the journalist to change a story.From Media Matters:Limbaugh said his target was a reporter, whose name he said he would not "mention," who was writing "a cover story on me coming out of one of the big news magazines, and it was going to totally mischaracterize me and what I do and how I do it." Limbaugh continued: "[W]e found out who was writing it and made a couple phone calls to the person writing it. And we said, 'You know what? We're going to find out where your kids go to school. We're going to find out who you knocked up in high school. We're going to find out what drugs you used. We're going to find out where you go to drink and do -- we're gonna find out how you paid for your house. We're going to do -- and we're going to do exact -- and we're going to say that, you know what? You are no different than Al Goldstein
In case you all missed it. Rush Limbaugh sold Harry Reid’s letter to Clear Channel requesting that Rush be censured for $2.1 Million on eBay. Rush then kept his word and matched the offer, making the total $4.2 Million. All the proceeds will go to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation, a group that gives scholarship money to the children of service members either killed in war or in the course of public duty. Rush is on the board of directors of this great organization.Amazingly, Media Matters is still running with the fake “Phony Soldiers” story. These people clearly do not know when they have lost a battle. Rush took the Democratic Party nonsense in Congress and smashed them over the head with an anvil. It was simply brilliant.Now the only question is whether any of the Senators who signed the disgraceful letter to Rush Limbaugh, will match the donation as Rush requested. Let us see how patriotic they really are.Notably, Hillary Clinton was one of the people who s
Perhaps Rush Limbaugh is so upset about Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize since he was also nominated for the award, as I reported in in February. The nomination was made by the Landmark Legal Foundation according to Landmark President Mark Levin for his for his “nearly two decades of tireless efforts to promote liberty, equality and opportunity for all humankind, regardless of race, creed, economic stratum or national origin.”
It’s hard to imagine anyone saying the above with a straight face about Limbaugh. Pensito Review believes that Limbaugh was behind his own nomination:
For starters, it appears that Limbaugh de facto nominated himself. The nomination went out under the letterhead of “his lawyers” at the Landmark foundation, a rightwing nonprofit for which Limbaugh is an unpaid adviser. (Landmark’s donors include relatives of Richard Melon Scaife, the Pittsburgh heir and newspaper publisher who funded the Arkansas Project, a smear campaign against the Cli
Rush Limbaugh today demonstrated he may be the most politically savvy person in America. After weeks of Media Matters, Moveon.org, and the Democrats in Congress, taking Rush’s statements out of context and claiming he attacked the troops, Rush Limbaugh clearly has won this battle.Harry Reid sent a formal letter to Clear Channel Radio, signed by 41 Congressmen, asking that Rush Limbaugh apologize to the Troops. I guess according to Harry Reid, Rush should apologize for having his statements distorted? Anyway, what Rush did next was truly brilliant, and patriotic.The entire proceeds of this auction, the entire high bid, will be donated to The Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation, a registered charity which provides financial assistance to the children of fallen Marines and federal law enforcement officers.

Folks, I just got off the phone with Rush Limbaugh regarding this email from Moveon.org. I subscribe to them so I can stay one-step ahead of them. They cannot be allowed to get control of this Country. Below you can see how they distort the SCHIP program in order to seek political gain. They even used a 12-year-old to lie for them. They have total contempt for their own subscribers; it is obnoxious.

Next week, Congress will decide which fate awaits poor children across America, when they consider whether to override President Bush's veto of kids' health care.1To win, we only need 15 more Republicans to switch sides—and the best way to make that happen is with nationwide outcry. So, on Tuesday night, we'll gather at candlelight vigils for the millions of U.S. children who won't get health care if the Republicans block the bill.Can you

With all the things the U.S. Senate should be doing, from solving the problems of immigration to the War on Iraq, I can’t believe they are worried about what a talk show says.

Democrats on Monday called on the chief executive of Clear Channel Communications to denounce remarks by radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, whom they say made a “hateful” and “unpatriotic” attack on U.S. troops opposed to the war in Iraq.
At issue is a remark from Limbaugh that characterized such troops as “phony soldiers.” Democrats have seized on the issue, allowing them to hit back at Republicans who similarly latched onto a MoveOn.org ad that referred to Gen. David Petraeus as “General Betray Us.”
“Thousands of active troops and veterans were subjected to Mr. Limbaugh’s unpatriotic and indefensible comments on your broadcast,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said in his letter to Clear Channel Chief Executive Mark Mays. “We trust you will agree that not a single one of our sons, daughters, neighbors and friends serving overseas is a ‘phony soldier.’ We call on you to publicly repudiate these comments that call into question their service and

During the September 26 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh called service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq "phony soldiers." He made the comment while discussing with a caller a conversation he had with a previous caller, "Mike from Chicago," who said he "used to be military," and "believe[s] that we should pull out of Iraq." Limbaugh told the second caller, whom he identified as "Mike, this one from Olympia, Washington," that "[t]here's a lot" that people who favor U.S. withdrawal "don't understand" and that when asked why the United States should pull out, their only answer is, " 'Well, we just gotta bring the troops home.' ...

There has been so much talk about Ruch Limbaugh and the comments he made on his September 26 radio show. As the above video shows, ol' Rush is now claiming that he never said he called service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq "phony soldiers."He now states, the comment followed a discussion of Jesse Macbeth, an anti-war activist who pleaded guilty to one count of making false statements to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for pretending to be an injured Iraq war veteran.Well, here's the radio program on the 26 of September; You tell me of whom Mr. Limbaugh was calling phony soldier: Audio Clip Click Photo to listen to this audio clip If Problems Download this clip hereNow I know that I'm not the smartest man in the world, but didn't you hear Rush agree that service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq are "phony soldiers" and then Rush called them "phony soldiers" himself.If you don't have an answer for this, t
I haven't mentioned the slanderous remarks Rush Limbaugh made against soldiers who question authority because I refuse to give this gasbag (thank you for the adjective Paul Begala) any attention on this blog.But I will now.Limbaugh, who referred to veterans of the Iraq war who have come home and worked to end the war as "phony soldiers" is the subject of yet another condemnation resolution being introduced in the House of Representatives.Rep. Mark Udall (D-Colorado), who is also a Senate candidate, is introducing a resolution next week condemning Limbaugh's comments. This comes after a vote by the House last week to condemn MoveOn.org's General Betrayus ad.I am not fan of these condemnation resolutions. I think they'r a complete waste of time and do nothing to solve problems, only create them, but I have to support this one because if the GOP thinks it could play games, we play them back. Don't forget, THEY started it.It's time to fight back.
During his September 26th nationally syndicated radio broadcast, Rush Limbaugh stated that service members that oppose the current policy in Iraq and dared question the war effort were, in his view, "phony soldiers'. What the hell? To repeat...the men and women who have served in the travesty that is known as the Iraq War and who dare question the policy are simply "phony soldiers" (generals included).This coming from the man who squeezed out of serving when his time came in Vietnam due to a pilonidal cyst or a knee injury (take your pick). This from the man who just the other day was 'outraged' over the MoveOn controversy.This daily schtick brought to you by Rush, Hannity and the rest is a little tired.

Florida is reportedly the fourth largest state in the nation, ranked by population. We’re known for growing oranges, but right now, we’re seeing a bumper crop of fruitcake. Broward County Democrats are adept at politicizing the populace, but their latest move should make Americans who believe in freedom of speech (not to mention freedom of the press) quake in their flip flops. Because The Sun-Sentinel (Orlando) reports the Broward County Commission, 100% Democratic in membership, wants to cancel a deal with radio station WIOD, AM 610, the official channel for emergency information from Broward County government for the past year.
WIOD has committed the unthinkable crime of carrying conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh’s program.
One commissioner said she doesn’t want to support a station “out of step” with area politics.
God forbid those tender Broward ears should hear the comments Limbaugh makes. Think of the possible emotional damage that might wreak!

During Friday's broadcast, Rush Limbaugh issued a warning to NBC's "Today Show, regarding the accuracy of the expose they want to air Monday. The radio show icon said during his broadcast:"I just want to warn you at NBC like we had to warn these people at Channel 13 in Sacramento. If you purport to say that any video with this parody song has anything to do with me, you are in for some trouble, because we don't do videos here at the EIB Network."Limbaugh has said that NBC has been given documentation to the song " Barrack The Magic Negro". He said toward the end of his broadcast segment:"If they do it based on those things, after we send them -- we're going to send them -- encyclopedic documentation, they will have no excuse for not knowing the truth of this, the brilliance of it, the humor of it."
yep, the title says it all. you can hear it for yourself here (if you can stomach it). before that awful piece of singing racism, the drug-addled gasbag said of obama:Al Sharpton's real, Snoop Dogg is real, but Barack Obama is not real. He's just there to assuage white guilt. In other words, the only reason Obama's anywhere is because whites are willing to support him because they feel so guilty over slavery...So those of you white people out there who are supporting Barack Obama, you are racists...So your attempt to assuage all of your white guilt by supporting Obama is worthless because you're just -- you're just exhibiting racism because you know he's not a real black...The only thing that matters is that he's black and he sounds good and it allows you white racists to assuage your guilt. Well, there is white racism out there. Much of it is on the left where the plantation mentality still resides.

I know this guy, who is possibly the world's worst driver. He has never killed anyone, but putting him in the driver's seat, is almost as bad as letting a former owner of the Texas Rangers run America.To give the driving public a brief respite, his license has been suspended for a bit. And the guy is moaning and groaning.His big lament is he "wants to feel like an American over the age of 16."And I think that is the crux of the opposition to the global warming concept.The only people in America who are wildly enthusiastic about squeezing the free wheeling high, that conspicuous energy consumption gives us, are hippies, who get a real charge out of skipping a greenhouse-gas-producing hot shower.And so the whole idea becomes emotionally charged ,even before Al Gore trots out, and wishes to make the Kyoto Accord the second Sermon on the Mount.Then to make it worse, the issue immediately draws out the supporters of Big Brother government, who relish the idea of imposing further laws

Referring to the couple's March 22 announcement that Elizabeth Edwards has Stage IV metastatic breast cancer, Limbaugh said: "[M]ost people, when told a family member's been diagnosed with the kind of cancer Elizabeth Edwards has, they turn to God. The Edwards turned to the campaign. Their religion is politics and the quest for the White House." Limbaugh later asked: "If you're [Sen.] Barack Obama [D-IL] or [Sen.] Hillary Clinton [D-NY], how do you now attack John Edwards?"

Yea, I don't have any audio right now, so I'm not exactly sure what this video exactly is all about. I've been led to believe that it involves a right-wing talking head requesting a young female of some sort to disrobe for photographs.
Seems like a winner to me.
I realize that Rush Limbaugh is considered a hero by many Americans, who are deeply enamored with his particular brand of irreconcilable moralism. The thrill of the uninformed, unconcerned and self-centered cheap shot delivered for effect without regard to any of the finer human sensibilities. The rage of one who knows no respect for anyone who does not agree with his personal interpretation of reality at any given moment. So absolute is his sense of righteousness that he never saw the derision he poured out upon Michael J. Fox as a clear reflection of the depths of his own depravity. He may not have but a lot of other people certainly did. This display was graphic, nauseating and sad, an example of what the right has come to represent in America to those who still care about our fellow human beings.
