The Group Behind Smear Campaigns Against Limbaugh and O'Reilly »
Posted by: pc25 11 months, 1 week agoLast week, two of the leading conservatives in the media, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly, were dishonestly and unprofessionally attacked by press outlets that cherry-picked out of context remarks from lengthy radio broadcasts in order to vilify outspoken personalities whose opinions they don't agree with. Unfortunately, as folks around the coun

My challenge for MediaMaters, Gen. Wesley Clark and IVAW
Show me the quote of Rush Limbaugh, that says "service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq are phony soldiers"
Not interpretations, not inference, not we think this means. Show me the ACTUAL WORDS IN CONTEXT where Rush say's "service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq are phony soldiers"
IVAW, the ones who made Jesse Macbeth "THEIR" poster boy for service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. Show me the VERIFIED proof that the service members you provide are ACTUALLY REAL service members who ACTUALLY served in IRAQ and ACTUALLY witnessed the "things" they claim.

It is the responsibility of those the making the claims need to provide the "proof" to back up those claims.
IVAW, your word and honor is only as good as your reputations. You blew it with Jesse Macbeth it's an up hill battle for you now. I can not give you the benefit of the doubt, you lost that with Jesse Macbeth.

from Media Matters own website
As Media Matters for America has noted, Imus, on the May 24 edition of MSNBC's Imus in the Morning, referred to Clinton as "Satan" 11 times, once calling her "that buck-tooted witch, Satan." Two days earlier, on his May 22 broadcast, Imus had said that he never had to apologize for insulting former President Bill Clinton and his "fat ugly wife, Satan."
BECK: OK, OK. Bringing back too many memories. Please, stop with that. OK. Now let's listen to what Hillary Clinton sounds like today.
CLINTON [video clip with her voice artificially deepened]: The public-private partnership exemplified by --
BECK: Yes. I think we may have found our Antichrist and our next president. Back in a second.
FREE SPEECH I guess its free as long as they agree with you
elect her and be prepared for the eventual erosion of free speech on our air waves

I have to wonder why it's a "smear campaign," when these guys make a career out of doing this exact thing to other people.
I guess that like little puss!es everywhere, they can dish it out when they're safe and snug behind a microphone, but can't handle it when someone does the same thing to them.
I didn't think anything could be more pathetic than a drug-addled uneducated hick being defended, but what kind of moron defends a fine astronaut and combat veteran like our lovely Bill O'Reilly, who has claimed on the air that he will send the Fox Security to anyone's house to "take care of the situation?" For him to claim to be a combat veteran is a slap in the face to anyone who has ever served in the military--and I can't imagine ANYONE who has ever served actually defending a lying piece of sh!t who claims to have been in combat when he's never even been in the service. The closest he's been to combat is a Buenos Aires office during the Falklands.

Beck was on saying "San Francicans have an ANTI-AMERICAN AGENDA," which everyone knows is a lie and is anti-gay code.
The point is Beck is TRYING TO DIVIDE THE UNION OF THE UNITED STATES IN TIME OF WAR.
Treasonous.
And that's why you love him so much.
Want me to tell you why you love hate-pundits O'Reilly and Limbaugh so much?

I am not a Beck fan but he is being singled out for his Constitutional right to say what he wants to on the air......
if the public doesn't like him then they don't listen, no audience translates to less advertising dollars, less advertising dollars and you are off the air......that's the way it is supposed to work......

Misinformation: On September 28, Limbaugh asserted that his "phony soldiers" comment was a reference to Jesse MacBeth, 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.
Fact: Limbaugh did not refer to MacBeth during his September 26 broadcast until 1 minute and 50 seconds after making his "phony soldiers" comment. Indeed, at no point during his September 26 radio show did Limbaugh refer to any soldiers he considered to be fake prior to making his "phony soldiers" comment.
Moreover, in the September 28 broadcast, Limbaugh expanded the group of "phony soldiers" to include Vietnam veteran Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA) and Pvt. Scott Thomas Beauchamp, who is currently serving in Iraq.

In asserting that he was originally "talking about a genuine phony soldier," Limbaugh went on to state: "And by the way, Jesse MacBeth's not the only one. How about this guy Scott Thomas who was writing fraudulent, phony things in The New Republic about atrocities he saw that never happened? How about Jack Murtha blanketly accepting the notion that Marines at Haditha engaged in wanton murder of innocent children and civilians?"
John P. Murtha joined the Marines in 1952 and volunteered for service in Vietnam, where he was awarded the Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts.
Read The Real truth here, the truth Bill O'Reilly and his buddy Rush Limbaugh do not want you to know. And remember that Bill O'Reilly is helping Rush Limbaugh cover up his attacks on Veterans who do not agree with them on the Iraq war.

If nothing else, Limbaugh is quite a wordsmith, and always manages to dissect his words (when challenged and proven he's a racist, a liar, or an idiot)and then say "Well, this is what I meant, any fool knows that." Yeah, well... why isn't that what you SAID then?
Of course, anyone who has ever dealt with a drug addict on a personal level knows how good they are at twisting words and torturing the truth until is says/does what they want--only the truly naive believe ANYTHING a junkie tells them.

"...a conduit for propaganda from one presidential candidate to the public which is something that should be completely unacceptable to all Americans regardless of political leaning."
Fux news does exactly that, yet to the neoclowns, that is perfectly acceptable.
I listened to limbaugh's spiel from beginning to end and there is not much doubt about what he was talking about when he started agreeing with the caller about "phony soldiers." Nothing was cherry picked, nothing was taken out of context. He released an EDITED transcript to "prove" he was speaking about a particular soldier. Only blind partisanship would lead any one to believe that he was talking about a particular soldier. It is clear from the context that he was talking about soldiers that speak to the media with anti-war views.
As a neocon conspiracy theory, this one is pretty weak. Uh oh!! Dem's organizations are talking to one another and sharing info about neoclown lies!

First, the edited portion had nothing to do at all with the discussion about "phony soldiers". Second, MMFA in it's original article made zero mention that Limbaugh further discussed Jesse MacBeth and fake soldiers within two minutes of the "phony soldiers" remark. That's some remarkable editing...Third, MMFA is far from objective considering Hillary was a co-founder and considering the web of money tying together George Soros, the Tides Foundation, MMFA, MoveOn, Center for American Progress, etc.
Here's another article for all: http://politics.propeller.com/story/2007/10/04/...

But they included the portion where the caller goes on to define what he means by "phony" soldier to basically mean anyone serving who thinks we should get OUT of Iraq. At no point during or right after does Limpaw stop and correct him, say that isn't what he meant by "phony" soldier or interrupt the caller in any way. In fact AFTER the caller finished Limpaw agrees. There's NO wondering who he meant by "phony" soldier, he agrees with the caller.

LIMBAUGH: The phony soldiers.
CALLER 2: The phony soldiers. If you talk to a real soldier, they are proud to serve. They want to be over in Iraq. They understand their sacrifice, and they're willing to sacrifice for their country.
LIMBAUGH: They joined to be in Iraq. They joined -
Notice that the the real soldiers are the ones who want to be in Iraq, ergo, the phony soldiers are the ones that don't.
Very simple, very plain, no mention of posers or individuals who have lied about being in the military. You can run but you can't hide. The transcript is public and so is the truth.

The "people" smearing Rush would have done Goebbells proud. They're cut from the same cloth.

All I will say about Rush and Bill O is that you cannot shame someone who has no shame.
You cannot smear someone who does not feel the emotion of shame.
And if they are entertainers, who cares if they get smeared or not. They are not politicians. It is just like all of the people going after Brtiney Spears. In more ways than one.
Bill O'Reilly has the same morals as she does. ******ting it up in the night club scene. He also has the neglect thing going.
Rush has her druggy side down pat.
See? They are just like her!
