Funny, this is pretty much equivalent to what got Dan Rather, the liberal, remember him?, forced into retirement. I guess that when you're a friend of the MSM, which means that you bring in the BIG bucks, advertising wise, they'll bury a story about you being incompetent.

Oh, we know the defenses anyway. Rush isn't a "journalist" and thus is not accountable for any of the shit he spews.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

This surprises exactly who? Everyone with any brains knows Limbaugh doesn't check his stories or sources half the time; if it's what he wants, he grabs it and runs with it, and his audience laps it up.

What I DID find amusing were all the comments (on that page, anyway). Bear in mind that I didn't write these:

Quote:
--Rush Limbaugh's followers are minless dittoheads who are unable to think for themselves; they rely on that "Big Fat Idiot" to do the thinking for them, which the same as the blind leading the blind.

--Limbaugh has been caught many, many times spewing forth bad information but his ditto heads still worship him. He a fat pig and a liar but he makes millions. Who can blame him for preying on the simple minded.

--this guy is not an entertainer, he's a drug addict, with a way to support his addictions by stupid people listening to his racial rants. let the bush tax cuts expire maybe if fools like have to pay more then there wouldn't be such ridiculas hook-ups like him and kelsey grammer . i dont think they would be so attractive if they had a little less money. really really an aging , bald, drug adiict ia a catch.

--It is discouraging that in a country with hundreds of top brains in the world we keep bringing in our discussion persons of meager intellect, education, expertise and health concern.

--I believe the original radio hoax was "War of the Worlds". Limbaugh is just a modern, long-running version of the same joke. The same gullible saps that panicked in the old days, had kids who listen to Rush.

--Remember when he tried to become an owner of the St Louis Rams? The other team owners all said "NO!" What a loser.

--Why would anyone expect different from RL the AH.

--rush can talk for hours without saying a word

Gee, there ARE a few thinking people out there! Bear in mind, each and every comment is about the material posted.

Meanwhile, the only two retorts from the right, the supposed "smartest people in the room" I think someone here said, were

Quote:
--Barack Hussein Obama repeats lies all day long every day of the year. Why no news sory on that?

--They do tell the truth as to what is going on in the world. It's up to the liberals to accept the truth or deny it.

Who ever made the comments bout the Tea Party being hate mongers. From what I saw on your post, your a good one to be talking. You don't see us being hateful in what we say. Yes, I'm in full support of the Tea Party. At least the Tea Party is for the Constituton, where as you liberals are obviously not! You think you are intitled to everything. I may not have the finances that most of yall have, but I at least know I'm NOT intitled to anything. All I have to say is get over yourself!

No defense of Rush, just the usual attacking claptrap aimed at the left. I guess that IS the only tactic they've got...

...amazing.

...still nothing. How do you figure a story about Rush Limbaugh reporting a hoax as "fair and balanced news" is "a story that makes the leftys look bad"?

The only valid response to the question is to defend Rush for reporting a hoax as "news" before finding out the facts...please do try. Don't compare him to someone else, he's YOUR guy, again and again we've been told how he doesn't lie, he finds out the facts, yada yada. Don't change the subject. Or do, it's of no consequence, the question has already bene answered. You got nothing.

So ? There's no 'there' there. I didn't hear it, and I'm sure it's not the 1st time he's been had. Pretty sure it isn't. But he'll come clean, if he's not already. I've not even checked his web site, as it's a nothing story, either way.

You guys are so hell bent for ANYTHING remotely positive, that you'll float this non story as if it has anything to do with anything?

It doesn't.

You're still going to lose in November. Accept it.

What YOU'RE ignoring is that "we" fully realize we're going to lose seats in November; it's a given--midterms ALWAYS cost the party in power seats. We're just watching who's being put up and thinking "hey, it may not be as bad as has been forecast, with all these split tickets and nutballs..."

As to Rush...yes, it's no doubt a non-story on Fox, etc. They don't want to admit it. And where is the constantly-loudly proclaimed idea that Fox is always right, checks their facts, etc., etc.? We're not grasping at straws, we're just shoving those claims down your throat.

It's unimportant anyway; those who know Fox lies and uses everything it can get its hands on to further its agenda, and the rest wouldn't believe it if they saw it first hand.

So I'll stop waiting for any defense, 'cuz it's obvious there isn't one.

Well, there ya go. If YOU didn't hear it, it didn't happen, can't matter, isn't real, right? Like the several times you "didn't hear" about Bush giving up golf for the war (except he didn't), and then you went right on repeating that lie.

Or the time you went right on repeating the lie about Mike Castle voting to "impeach Bush", which also didn't happen. But, like your messiah Rushbo, you have zero interest in facts, or in checking those facts.

What does FOX not reporting about a non-story have anything to do w/ Rush? Or with lies or being fair and balanced ? It's not a news worthy story, so there's no point in covering it. How is this hard for you got comprehend ? Seriously. You're acting like a child who gets fussy when a grown up doesn't scold a play mate who you perceive has wronged you. NO FAIR! Waahhh!!

Of course, you'll mock and lampoon a story of a black man killing his own mother, then himself, at a failed , misguided attempt to comment on Islamic terrorism. So whining about this is fully expected.

Interesting that the common accusation by some people here is that, when a point is made with which they disagree, it's called "whining". What does making a point have to do with whining, exactly?

I have pointed out that Rush reported something which was false, with the only intent being to point out that he has done so, while the focus of some people has been that ONLY the left does so and Fox, et al., are always honest. It's a valid point; has nothing to do with whining; the point of this thread is that it WAS reported, then disappeared (which is interesting in and of itself); I never said any such thing as "no fair"; and I put up a story to make a point--nowhere did I "mock" or "lampoon" what actually happened.

It's a shame some people can only utilize childish mischaracterizations to respond to points which could be countered or defended in a rational, adult fashion.

Rush isn't a reporter, so he didn't "report" anything. He's a talk show host. He discusses what OTHERS have reported, along with his own observations of politics, sports, and a host of other issues.

So stop whining.

Again with the whining. Bullfuckingshit. I never whine.

Interestingly, if any "talk show host" on the left got something wrong, hooo boy would we hear about it from you, in spades.

That was the point I believe we've been trying to make. Double standards, get it?

So who else was "reporting" this "story" besides Rushbaugh? The cite HE gave was a Pensacola newspaper, which he said published the story on "June 31st" - a date which does not exist.

So who was reporting this story? After all, he doesn't do any of his own research, doesn't check any of his "facts" (sounds an awful lot like Rappy, doesn't he?), doesn't do any real work. So who "reported" this story? Where did he pick it up?

Was this the same source who claimed that Mike Castle voted to impeach Bush? (A claim which you yourself have made here, and which is 100% false, by the way)
