Limbaugh in that segment is "not mocking" Frost in the same way that he did not mock Michael J Fox by spasmodically waving his arms around on camera. Who should his viewers believe, Rush or their own lying eyes/ears? 

Oh, I'm sure the mocking of the boy was taken out of context.

Out of context - is that how Rush used to take his OxyContin???

 Rush  said he never once attacked the Frost family?

Telling his viewers that the Frost boy whined and moaned and cried to President Bush is not a personal attack on the charactor of this boy???

Isn't it an attack on the family to give listeners false information about the value of their home and schooling, and refer his listeners to "verified" information on Free Republic" Is it not an attack to help spread false rumors about the family?

Here is part of his transcript from his Oct. 8th show.

" RUSH: I had some rudimentary information on this two weeks ago, and it wasn't enough for me to trust going with.  But since then, it has been verified, and most of it's been verified by a "Freeper" at Free Republic.  Everybody is writing about this now, since the Freeper posted it over the weekend.  This 12-year-old kid that the Democrats used in the Saturday radio address to whine and moan and cry to President Bush about the SCHIP children's health program, it turns out that the family of this kid sends its kids to "one of Baltimore's expensive private schools."  This family owns a house in a neighborhood of homes valued in the $400,000 to $500,000 range.  This family bought commercial property in 1999 for $160,000.  [...] "

"Telling his viewers that the Frost boy whined and moaned and cried to President Bush is not a personal attack on the charactor of this boy"

He's saying that the Democrats made the boy do this to further there own agenda. Rush is simply saying that the Dems have used this young boy to further their agenda. It's clear from past history that the Democrats like to use sympathetic figures to further their agenda. Rather than debating the actual issue they try to appeal to people's emotions by blatantly using sympathetic figures for their own political gain. It's sick what the Democrats are doing.

Okay Rhino....then Rush should be a man and go after the Democrats...not ATTACK A CHILD, who probably did one of the scariest things in his life by making a speech in front of all those people.

So you are upset the Democrats put him up to this.....Here Rush is going after the boy by saying the boy whined, moaned, and cried, and then mimics his voice.

Oh, how brave of Rush....can't take on the Democrats, so he goes after a child. Typical.

That must be why Harry Reid won't appear on Rush's show after being invited as he smears him endlessly on the Senate floor (so you can't tell me Rush isn't "worth his time") and hides behind the speech and debate clause that he enjoys as a senator, doing a job senators aren't even supposed to do. Rush is a coward for trying to engage such a pathetic person in a debate in the first place.

This has really gotten out of hand.  Limbaugh never mocked or attacked this kid. 

You'll note, by the way, that the media never listens to real kids when it comes to health care.  Instead, they listen to kids like this one -- the phony kids.

A real kid would be proud to earn his own health coverage.  Kids today know what they're getting into when they sign up for diseases and illnesses.  This phony kid, though, has been used by the Democrats.  They've strapped lies to his belt and sent him out to run into as many people as possible and blow himself up like some sort of propaganda bomb.

If you just stop listening to what Limbaugh actually says and pay attention to what Limbaugh says about what he says, you'll find that everything becomes much clearer.

GREAT!

But, may I humbly amend:

"You know, this is such a blatant use of an adorable ill child, lying to him about what I said, then colonizing those lies in his bronchioles, sending him out via the media in a radio ad to infect as many people as he can sneeze on."

"It's sick what the democrats are doing".

Maybe they should redirect an aircraft carrier at taxpayer's expense so GW can have a pilot jockey a "let's pretend the president is a fighter pilot" landing on the deck.

Maybe we should be upset about GW grounding the coast guard in New Orleans for several hours so he could get that fine photo op in a hanger with the heroes who had to wait to do their job so they could be in a picture with him.

How about all the upset we should feel whenever GW poses like a girl with real US soldiers in Iraq with a fake turkey, keeping them from what we sent them to do so GW could look good?

What's that, RINO? You ain't upset? Of course not, you only feign rage when a democrat does it.

Oh....and let's not forget little Ashley from Ohio, in 2004. As an Ohioian, I got more than my fill of it in the newspapers, radio, and TV.

Ashely praised President Bush in his campaign ad, but I guess that is okay with Rino?

Taken from USA Today article 1/15/2005:

Ashley Faulkner was the focus of Ashley's Story, a pro-Bush campaign ad that aired nearly 30,000 times in the month before the election Nov. 2.

In the Faulkner family's own words, it told how Ashley had lost her mother, Wendy, in the Sept. 11 terror attacks. When President Bush learned of this at a Lebanon, Ohio, campaign rally, he gave her a spontaneous, emotional hug. Her father snapped a photo that became the centerpiece of the ad many observers deemed the most moving of the campaign.

"He's the most powerful man in the world," Ashley said in the ad, "and all he wants to do is make sure I'm safe, that I'm OK."

The trip by Ashley, now 16, her father, Lynn, and her adult sister Loren will be paid for by Progress for America, the conservative group that aired the ad. The family leaves today to attend the swearing-in, the parade and the Patriot Ball, which is for Ohio residents.

"She thinks it's kind of neat," Lynn Faulkner said. "Obviously, this is something we've never done before. ... We're kind of thrilled."

He said he and his daughters will be a few "of a gazillion people" who will watch President Bush take the oath of office for his second term.

Rino: "Rather than debating the actual issue they try to appeal to people's emotions by blatantly using sympathetic figures for their own political gain."

That kid is the "actual issue" and he's a "sympathetic figure" because he, and his parents, are right about the issue. Objecting to this kid is like objecting to the United Negro College Fund using a black kid in their commercials.

Whino translation: we should never use fellow americans to put a face on legislation unless it benefits republicans. Aircraft carrier landing at taxpayers expense? OK. Mulitple kids around when republicans sign the "no child left behind" law? OK. Coast Guard servicemen prevented from rescuing Katrina victims so a republican president who fiddled on a guitar like nero the day before can pretend to be compassionate? OK. Democrats bringing forth a 12 year old who benefited from the current program? AAAAAAAAAAGH! THE SHAME! WHY ARE THEY USING A CHILD AS A SHIELD? THE COWARDS! OH, THE COWARDS!

... and as long as we're talking about GOP hypocrisy when parading kids around, don't forget the 'snowflake children' who were there when W banned all federal funding for stem-cell research.

Exactly. Limbaugh is the one who does not want to discuss the issue. He wants to discuss the MESSENGER. The Democrats are the ones discussing the issue in these ads. It's about children's health care. Showing children actually helped by the program is directly discussing the issue.

Rush also wants to make this about the Democrats, when the fact is, many Republicans supported this bill to fund SCHIP. He seems to conveniently leave that part out of his attacks on Democrats.

Besides, conservative anti-abortionists commonly use pictures of a dead fetus whenever they want to protest abortion. How is this any different? They try to put a "human face" on that issue constantly, but God forbid the Democrats show you living children helped by SCHIP.

Like others have pointed out, Bush fills his press conferences for things like No Child Left Behind or vetoing stem cell research with children. Their party does this all the time, yet the "Rino Hunters" and Rush Limbaughs of the world conveniently ignore that fact.

I guess for me the key here is what's the real truth about this family's financial situtation? Having sold insurance I can say first hand there are PLENTY of people out there who could afford health insurance but they choose to spend their money on other things. Guess what. That drives costs up for the rest of us. A family of 4 making 82 grand can't afford health insurance? Are there adults living in the real world that actually believe that?

  I don't listen to Rush. Work gets in the way but I don't see anything too aggregious in his comments. 

"I guess for me the key here is what's the real truth about this family's financial situtation?"

Lucky for you, attack dogs like Michelle Malkin, hell bent on exposing the imagined hidden wealth of this family, got to the bottom of that situation and revealed that they in fact COULDN'T afford health care for their child. Surprise, surprise, the kid actually IS a real example of someone who was legitimately helped by the program.

You may not have time to listen to Rush, but you certainly allowed him and the other right-wing blowhards plant that seed of doubt in your head. Whether you listen to him or not, you took his bait.

And p.s. I don't know where you got that $82,000 figure, because every source I pulled up in a search says that the Frosts make a combined total yearly salary of $45,000, which does in fact qualify them for the program.

"the Democrats made the boy do this to further there own agenda"

BULL****

No one held a gun to this boy's head or the heads of his parents. 

Did you notice Rush used EXACTLY the same line on the Vet who did the ad condeming the "phony soldiers" thing from Vote Vets?

That whole thing about "strapped those lies to his belt," etc.

Anyone who speaks out on behalf of the DemocratIC Party can't possibly be speaking their own mind, can't possibly be well informed, can't possibly be presenting their own perspective on their own story. They must, by definition, be empty vessels incapable of thought into which Democrat[ic] lies are poured, and they speak them like zombies unaware of their words' meaning or consequences.

This construction does, however, neatly excuse Rush from the task of actually addressing the CONTENT of their remarks.

Yes, the Democrats are sick..they are acting like Republans. At least we can win the election that way. Sick is as sick does.

Don't worry Rino. When the White House is painted blue, you can really scream to Rush and beg him to tell you that it is still the White Guy House. Sorry, but it may become PINK.

>>Rather than debating the actual issue they try to appeal to people's emotions by blatantly using sympathetic figures for their own political gain. It's sick what the Democrats are doing.

It's perfectly legitimate politically for GWB to  use kids in the photos when he's selling his No Child Left Behind program; it's perfectly legitimate for GWB to be photographed on an aircraft carrier boasting "Mission Accomplished"; but somehow it's "sick" if the Democrats have a 12-year whose LIFE WAS SAVED by the S-CHIP program talk about it?

The hypocrisy of the GOP never ceases to amaze!

No. Out of context was when Clinton said he didn't have sex with THAT woman.

No Les.  And in your case, Les is less.

Off topic is YOU tossing out strawman arguments like this one troll.

Rush likes to attack 12 year old kids...the term "White House dog" ring any bells?

I saw that live and promptly threw my slipper at the TV.  Until that moment, I had no idea how putrid this pile of horshit actually was.  I had heard of people with an empty soul, but at that moment, he showed me what the phrase--empty soul meant.

Rick, I saw that show too when it was originally broadcast and it made me furious. To publicly knock the looks of a young girl, particularly at an age when girls are so self-conscious, made me realize what a mean, bullying piece of crap Rush Limbaugh is. I have never forgiven him for that.

Do you remeber how Limbaugh smirked?

Limbaugh must have had the crap kicked out of him regularly in school.  I'd bet $100 he's hit a wife or girlfriend at least once in his past.  He so enjoys the pain he inflicts on the weak and innocent, especially when they are unable to hit back.

Rush, please don't step into an alley where I might be taking a leak.  I doubt if I could control myself.

"wife or girlfriend" TheRick, you're a riot.Do you really think Rush dabbles outside of the prepubescent boy zone?

HBL, you realize that I didn't say HIS wife or girlfriend didn't you?  :-)

They should believe both since anybody who actually watched the program that Rush didn't mock the boy. He quoted the boy accurately and used his voice to make it clear that it was the boy's quote. Only in the world of liberalism is that an attack. And by the way, did you hear that Harry Reid's smear letter to Rush sold on ebay for 2.1 million today? Rush is matching that amount and sending it to children of those in the military. Rush is making the Dems look like fools as usual. Rush certainly won that battle.

Rino is using typical con logic, Don't hate him, he has dittobitess, a dread con disease.

You are a moron Rhino. A fact you proudly anounce to the world. You come in here and tell us that you are GOING to do your hivemind duty and regurgitate WHATEVER Rush told you to believe no matter how stupid and ludicrous it is. Good luck with that.

RINO, I've asked this before, maybe you'll answer me this time:  Why do you have to tell us what Rush meant?

Do you think I/we can't see/hear this for ourselves?

Your hero worship is misplaced.  Rush is your hero, not ours (forgive me for speaking for most of us non-rightwingers).  We're not blinded by this bigoted, drug addicted, draft dodging, immoral, hypocritical, 3 times divorced, mysogenistic, immature, child bullying, lying, college dropout, and suspected pedophile, who is not good enough to be a bad excuse for humanity.

If you want to dance with the devil, go right ahead.  I for one see the devil for what he is, a piece of garbage making a lot of money from you and others who plead to allow him to keep up the 'good work' by excusing his trangressions.

When you find a right winger worthy of your hero worship, I might take a serious look.  This one is not.

Good post. When you dance with the Devil, the Devil dont change. He changes you.

Rinohunter, I don't expect you to speak for all dittoheads, I'll ask this only of you;

Are you not capable of understanding "quote" and "unquote"? Rush actually has to do an impression when relaying others' words to you?

Are you  merely being as dishonest as you usually are, or are you really starting to believe your apologies for El Rushbo?

You can do better than that. I hope.

"Rush is matching that amount and sending it to children of those in the military"

Except children of "phony soldiers".

I'm surprised MMFA didn't post the clip where Limbaugh tells Colmes to stop listening to MMFA.

It should be noted Colmes also called him out on the fact that he edited out the clip.  I give Colmes credit for having the balls to bring that up.  Otherwise they just let limbaugh have the floor, it was like listening to his radio show and thus - quite lame.

Oh, the horror of socialized medicine, cradle to the grave,,,,,,,,,,for example, Germany:

"Germany's health care system provides its residents with nearly universal access to comprehensive high-quality medical care and a choice of physicians. Over 90 percent of the population receives health care through the country's statutory health care insurance program. Membership in this program is compulsory for all those earning less than a periodically revised income ceiling. Nearly all of the remainder of the population receives health care via private for-profit insurance companies. Everyone uses the same health care facilities."

Oh, no......;;;;;;;;

Lush Bimbo to the rescue, to lie about "socialized medicine" and deny he is mocking a 12 year old boy while he is doing it.

The UK has the world renowned National Health Service, formed in 1948.  It gives us free healthcare but also allows us to use private healthcare if anyone wants to jumps waiting lists or believes they can get better service in the private sector.

 There are endless debates about the NHS and value for money as demands for new drugs and treatments become available, but it is a superb service that guarantees everyone basic medical care.  Dentistry is a different matter, howver, whereby virtually all dentists are private to massive disenchantment in the UK.  The only problem with the NHS currently is Labour Government interference by trying to skew statistics to show how great the NHS has become under their stewardship.  This means we get endless stats on how much waiting lists have fallen, which in reality means that more bureaucrats have been hired to middle manage those on the frontline and a lot of money provided to the NHS hasn't reached frontline services as it should.

 Still wouldn't want any other system though and it shouldn't discourage the US from implementing a version either.

If you are still around, I'd love to hear more about the dental problems...how the dental service dropped away.  In Oregon, the original Oregon Health Plan contained dental coverage, but the Republicans in our legislature kept stripping out funding until it had to be dropped for everyone but minors.

so that explains austin power's teeth.  [loved those movies, all three]

Maybe Rush is trying to save the kid's teeth.

English pull own teeth as dental service decaysLondon, United Kingdom15 October 2007 01:17<!-- Template Id = 1 Template Name = Banner Creative (Flash) --><!-- Copyright 2002 DoubleClick Inc., All rights reserved. -->Falling numbers of state dentists in England have led to some people taking extreme measures, including extracting their own teeth, according to a new study released on Monday.Others have used superglue to stick crowns back on, rather than stumping up for private treatment, said the study.

Did you bother to read what SI_W wrote above? And what does what you wrote have any bearing on Limbaugh's mocking of a 12 yr old boy? I know, trying to change to subjest of course.

Further, did you know it was the Republican congress that passed the SCHIP in 1997?

That's great! I heard Hannity hyperventilating about the tooth-pulling the other day.I guess Leatherhead didn't read that dentists are the more privatized profession in the U.K.. Hannity sort of mentioned it, but twisted it by insinuating that dentists were going into private practice because the state wasn't paying them.

And yet another apologist dittohead who feels compelled to explain "what Rush really meant".

You do know a whole lot people in the US forego dental care, because of its' excess cost.

Like $300 for a filling.

Says the person who in the same breath would condemn Republicans for "name-calling." But they are the ones with the double-standard.

Well I'm sure Rush could not have written a clear concise statement like this boy did at 12 , because he still can't. I've met  several kids 12 and younger who could knock out a statement like that everyday. But of course Rush has no children so no surprise his ignorance regarding what it takes to raise children in the US.

My thoughts exactly. There are quite a few articulate 12-year-olds out there, and it's not like the kid was delivering a seminar on quantum physics.

Keep in mind that the 12-year-old kids that Rush is familiar with might have a limited knowledge of English sentence structure.  I'm not sure what kind of education they can get in the Dominican Republic tourism districts...

Har! Good point, Neon.

Imagine the added frustration Rush has to bear. While most Republicans have enough to worry about with adults geting educated enough to stop voting Republican, Rush has to try to prevent children from educating themselves enough to get out of the sex trades.

Yep, those Republicans sure do love their secret gay bathroom antics and child sex slaves.Almost as much as they love the flag and Jesus.

Hey, HBL, if you love Jesus and the flag then what's a little secret gay bathroom sex on the side now and then. It's not like that actually makes you gay, you know. Jeeaz...   ;>)

Just his appearance and sound of his voice makes me sick. Lisening to Rush and Hannity is like leven worse.

Latest CBS poll showed close to 80% of those polled are in favor of said program. Don't have link, will attempt to locate. Even some Repubs who voted against said it will likely come back to haunt them. But then again, Rush and GW know what's best for us.

It's actually 57%. It's nowhere near a consensus.

2. general agreement or concord; harmony.

Its not fair to expect Rhino to actually KNOW things unless Rush has told him. Until then he will have delusions about the definition of words just like he has delusions about everything else.

Shouldn't this site be called: Anti-Conservative Media Matters for America? I don't see any libs attacked: EVER.

You will not be attacked if you have a serious point and don't start in by name calling and insults. 

 Everyone here is on "rino's" case because he posted a link to back up his point; and the link actually proved that he had misread the statistic. 

Mary, I'm not sure that Less was referring to the responses to Rino. He may be another one who's confused that a site dedicated to commenting on conservative misinformation doesn't spend enough time on other things.

Less may get just as frustrated when trying to order a burrito at the dry cleaners.

A burrito at the dry cleaners,,,,,now that's an idea for all the stressed out folk stopping in to pick up their clothes & plan dinner at the same time.

But seriously, HBL, I wish the conservatives would try to make some thoughtful points.  This happens occasionally, but mostly it's name calling and inaccurate talking points which are then corrected over and over.  There is a genuine need for push-pull for democracy to work properly.

That's pretty cute, Mary. Have you seen the volatile bigotry that comes from some of your peers' mouths? Referring to Limbaugh's addiction to painkillers, supposed child sex slaves, and pilonidal cyst does not a "thoughtful point" make. And for those of you making the equally "thoughtful" point that Rush has "no soul," please continue to ignore the extremely generous donation he just gave to a non-partisan military group dedicated to scholarships for the children of the troops you so readily claim to support. Don't call me a "dittohead" either; you people are all sycophants of this website if you apply that standard to everyone who supports Rush.

"Less may get just as frustrated when trying to order a burrito at the dry cleaners." HuntingtonBeachLefty  

Oh-oh!  If I'm  understanding you correctly, then please excuse me while I run to Taco Bell and get my suits back.

Perhaps that's because we can disagree with each other without attacking each other.  Liberals, in the main take seriously the "marketplace of ideas" theory, and are comfortable talking about ideas.  Conservatives are not.  When was the last time you heard a conservative spokesman "stick to the issues" of a controversy, rather than attacking the patriotism, etc. of the opponent?

I thought the most vivid example of this was the exchange between Elizabeth Edwards and Ann Coulter on Hardball.  Ms. Edwards called in to ask Ms. Coulter to stop the ad hominem attacks and  "stick to the issues."

Coulter's response?  "She's asking me to stop talking.  NO."  Only a conservative could interpret a request to avoid character assassination as an attempt to shut her up. 

In fairness to Ann Coulter (God, I NEVER thought I'd use that phrase!!), refraining from ad hominem attacks would in fact shut her up completely. She has nothing else to talk about!

Well, there is that.

Liberals don't get attached on Media Matters... but so what?

You never see CONSERVATIVES attacked on mediaresearch.org or ACCURICY IN MEDIA.

Media Matters was founded an as antidote to WHAT YOU GUYS WERE ALREADY DOING.

Why is it you guys hate FAIR PLAY so much?

Man-date: not what you go on every friday night, helmut head.

Actually, in the CBS poll 81% favor expanding the SCHIPs prog. Link is a PDF.

http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/pdf/CBS_news_poll_101707.pdf

The 57% in the poll you cited oppose Bush's veto.

The consensus on this blog is that you are an idiot. 

Let's try another poll.  A CBS poll shows 81% support expansion of SCHIP.  Beyond that, the 54% you mention is only in reference to the use of the cigarette tax.  There would still likely be quite a few who support the expansion of SCHIP among those who dislike the use of the cigarette tax for funding.  Your poll does not show only 54% support for SCHIP.

"It's actually 57%. It's nowhere near a consensus."--RinoHunter

Rino, Thanks for the link.  If you had bothered to read further down, it says 70% believe children should have health insurance.

[mygod sometimes it's too easy]

Oh, Rino Hunter is OODLES of fun!!

He comes up with an opinion first, and then finds whatever justification (however improbable) to back it up, and tries to "debunk" other fact-based analysis by the first thought or "refutation" that comes into his head.

I was vastly amused on a different thread when he tried to counter several stats I had cited from the World Health Organization by stating they couldn't POSSIBLY be able to estimate illegal procedures for the simple reason they were illegal. It very quickly became clear that Rino Hunter was assertively "refuting" their work although he had apparently never HEARD OF the World Health Organization!!

Perhaps CBS should have conducted that poll using the top 10% of taxpayers who will be funding it. I bet the numbers would've been different.

Yup.  Let's make certain that the haves have, and the have-nots have-not.

Are the top 10% smokers?

Obviously, the Rush was criticizing the lazy and worthless Frost parents who have neglected their children AND the Democrat Party who used the Frost children as human shields.

I am contacting children's services in their state and reporting this child abuse to the authorities!

Do let us know how that goes...

Obviously, the Rush was criticizing the lazy and worthless Frost parents who have neglected their children AND the Democrat Party who used the Frost children as human shields. I am contacting children's services in their state and reporting this child abuse to the authorities! Billybob

How well prepared are you and your family for two of your children to be seriously injured? How well prepared are you and your family for two of your children to be hospitalized for over 5 months? How well prepared are you and  your family for teaching your two seriously injured children to swallow, eat sit up, talk and walk? How well prepared are you and your family to deal with your two children, one who remains weak on one side and speaks with a lisp and the other is blind in one eye, has difficulty with memory, learning and speech and needs a behavioral psychologist to help her deal with the frustrations of her disabilities? 

HOW WELL PREPARED ARE YOU!

Both Rush and Michelle are too dumb to breathe and you are even dumber for believing everything they say!

Yeah, the Frosts sound really abusive, considering what they've endured.

So now it's "the Rush"?

Rush has now joined Donald Trump in the esteemed Definite Article Club?

Pete, Rush could be a plural noun. He takes up enough space to be a plural something. He is also plural in his stupidity and duplicity.

"[Limbaugh] takes up enough space to be a plural something."

Like the Merchandise Mart here in Chicago, I believe Limbaugh has a unique Zip Code. 

Seems to me you have bigger problems to address...first, you can't even spell your own name right. Billiy?

My guess is that BILLIY is a girl... and that Billiy has some connection to the ultra right wing Christian college Bob Jones University. Just a hunch...

after you do that, could you post your address so we can send out the docs to have you neutered? you should not be allowed to sire any children 

I thought he was parodying the ignorance and heartlessness of the ReNAMBLAcan party

"As a non-profit, tax deductible organization, MMFA is never supposed to engage in partisan politics.  However, as soon as you begin to do a little research and see the coordinated campaigns that link HRC, Center for American Progress, MoveOn AND MMFA, it is clear that there is a violation of the tax exempt status of these organization.   I have already written a letter of complaint to both the IRS, the FEC and the FCC to help launch the investigation.

By the way, a look at most of the people associated with MMFA on the Staff link shows the close association between MMFA and the Democrat Party  - and HRC.

If MMFA wants to keep it's tax exempt status it better start obeying the law.

-billiybobjones7678 / Saturday October 6, 2007 10:46:33 PM EST"

You must be a very busy and important boy BillyBob. The IRS, FEC, FCC and now state child protection authorities. I guess you have a lot of friends in high places. And "this is only the beginning" you said elsewhere on the thread. Yet MMFA website is still up. Or is there a storm coming they will not survive? How are those investigations going? Surely they must be keeping you in the loop. This afternoon the rest of us have to go to an emergency meeting convened by Al Gore, Hillary, and George Soros. Maybe that is what it will be about. Keep up the good work though. This is terrific comic relief. It also allowed us to negotiate higher pay scales from George. He must be very worried.

I've said it before, and it bears constant repeating:

Rightwingers HATE progressives, liberals, and Democrats MORE than Osama Bin Laden and the people who attacked us on 9/11. And EVERY TIME I'VE SAID THIS, never ONCE has a rightwinger disagreed!

The fact that slimeballs like Rush, O'Reilly, Hannity et.al NEVER talk about any need whatsoever to get Bin Laden, yet can't go 2 minutes without slimng Americans who don't share in their hysterical, reactionary political views, tells you all you need to know about the GOP and their followers.

6 years after 9/11 and no one on the right cares about getting Bin Laden. That is undeniably true! They NEVER mention him, except in political ads. They'll attack children, they'll attack 9/11 widows, they'll attack anti-war vets, they'll mock the disabled, they'll make jokes about Cindy Sheehan for losing her child pointlessly in Iraq - but never, in all their spittle-flying anger do they EVER rail against Osama Bin Laden!

And they blame some non-existent "liberal media", or Media Matters, for why the rightwing is so overwhelmingly despised by the American people. They can't fathom that it could honestly be because people despise Limbaugh, Malkin, Coulter, and Bush for WHAT THEY SAY and WHAT THEY'VE DONE. And when Bush has succeeded in pasing on his failed occupation in Iraq onto the next Democratic administration, IMMEDIATELY the quagmire will become the Democrats fault.

"Democrat Party"

It's Democratic Party, oh worthless troll. 

Putting a human face to a program the Democrats and a lot of Republicans support, and a program started by Republicans in 1997, is so evil. Ooooh. Just know this thing will be passed before next years election. It has been very successful in limiting emergency room costs and been very beneficial.

the entire segment reinforced my hatred of colmes...he sat there while el druggo spewed lie after lie...hey, i dont care if someone sells their own sould for a paycheck...i do care if this person tries to pawn themselves off as a lib...colmes aint no lib... 

"colmes aint no lib"

Sure he is. He just isn't a hateful one like you. He's actually respectful and polite. We don't need people using personal attacks on talk shows. Any political commentator who would use a personal attack like calling someone "a druggie" certainly doesn't have any place on cable news.

You are so talking out of both sides of your mouth, not to mention other places. You are defending Rush Limbaugh! Unreal.

No he isnt he SAID he was quite moderate. YOUR delusions do not define reality.

We don't need people using personal attacks on talk shows. Rino

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 [link to query.nytimes.com] title="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D0DE2DA163FF931A2575BC0A9629C8B63">Al Goldstein. You both masturbate.'

Rino you might want to contact Rush and let him know that's not a proper way to conduct himself. 

is rush not an admitted drug addict?? did he not lie to his audience about his addiction? it is not respectful to allow a man to lie on a national cable program...it is cowardice.....el druggo lied about what he said in regards to the frosts....he lied about their financial status and has yet to apologize for that....he is scum...and i will not be nice to people i hold to be scum.....and when will el druggo come clean about his sex trips to the dominican?

"Any political commentator who would use a personal attack like calling someone "a druggie" certainly doesn't have any place on cable news."

Calling people names like "feminazi' is just fine, though, right?

Good point.  Humm, lets see. . .

"Femanazi, Defeatocrats, Slick Willie, HillaryCare, Drive by Media, Obama-Usama-Obama, Algore, Wacko's, The Left Coast, Dick Turbin, Fake Soldiers, ElDiablo (for Tom Daschle), John the BreckGirl Edwards, Senator Betray Us (for Chuck Hagel long before the Move On ad), and Dirty Harry Reid, to name just a few.

I have to agree with RINO on this one.  A person who calls names as such, shouldn't be on the air.

Limbaugh; "...anytime an organization has the word "peace" in it, throw it out. It's just a bunch of long-haired, maggot-infested, dope-smoking, FM peace-types that have an agenda."

Colmes wouldn't have to say anything about Rush's drug past, because it's not relevant here (although it IS damn funny!). Furthermore, Bacci40 never said that he should (Bacci40 just called Rush "druggo" for what I imagine is his own amusement).

What Bacci40 DID say is that Colmes should not have allowed Rush to LIE. That's not being "disrespectful," "impolite," or making "personal" attacks, that's requiring that information presented on one's show as factual must, in fact, BE factual.

The "attack" (if it indeed merits that word; I think not) would not be based on "personal" matters, but on substantive issues which are being discussed. If you can't challenge untrue information, you could never debate.

It's too bad the kid had a tragic accident but he rose above it. But his parents should be ashamed to send him in front of a national audience to tell the world how his parents wouldn't buy him health insurance when they could easily afford it and instead took free insurance on the backs of taxpayers many who are less fortunate than they are.

LH, you need to get your facts somewhere besides the Freeper site. The parent could not afford the insurance. The lies told by you and the other rightys aren't going to be bought here. Sell your pile of crap somewhere else, you're stinking up the joint.

So are you a liar or do you just not know what you're talking about?

The fact that Rush is going outside the cozy confines of his studio speaks volumes.  Rush NEVER does this.  How often has he consented to an interview outside his own set parameters.  Granted, Fox news is as close to home as he can be, but still, the weasel NEVER opens himself up to honest debate.  Old Rush and his syndicators must be worried or he wouldn't be interrupting his evening oxy high.

The reich wing republican national anthem!

Thanks for the laugh, Snoopy. That was hilarious! Good boy, petting and rubbing belly vigorously. Kissing on the nose.

Typical lib cop-out.

Typical con pout.

Typical con pout.

Yes Mary but note that the comment is also completely fact free and dissociated from reality. At least the cons are completely consistent in that respect.

Watching the dittoheads twist themselves into logistical pretzels trying to defend limbaugh is...is... I'm trying to find the word......... well, they are dittoheads, and proud of it...... What's the word? Hep me out here folks.

The term is Borderline Personality Disorder.

Limbaugh is obviously running on three cylinders...okay two.  

How can an apparent lucid adult on one hand claim that he was not mocking a 12 year old and within two seconds...mock the twelve year old?

He disrepects those who have served and then claims just the opposite. 

Something is wrong with the little feller...but what?  Is there a Dr. in the house?

And Limbaugh's dittohead followers all nod in agreement with him like an army of bobblehead dolls with creepy wide-eyed smiles painted on their shiny faces.

I would also diagnose Narcisstic personality disorder on the part of the likes of Limbbo, Cooutler, etc. They just love themselves.

Old Sigmund might say his big cigar represents some kind of oral fixation

i cant believe the bastard managed to buy his way out...  i was sure that he was going to end up like Imus.... lol, at least he didnt get off easy, 2 mill is gonna hurt his pocket...hahaha

i have to give it to Limbaugh.. he played it pretty smart, he immediately  got on tv practically crying out "im innocent".. only people on MMFA know the truth.. it hard to deny it when its on tape..  

You'd have to be drunker than Randi Rhodes on a Sunday afternoon to believe that this post actually demonstrates that Rush attacked the Frost kid.

An interesting comprehension problem here.  Very strange, stranger....we've got to give the devil his due...he does convince his ditto-bots that what they're hearing is irrelevant to his "greater context," whatever that means.

plus throwing in another rightie slur.  Does Limbaugh give you a free vacation to Mordor for that?

At least that is what Rush TOLD you to believe. You would have to be a complete moron to post your delusions as if they were REAL like you did.

So you came here to let us know you are an ignorant moronic troll that likes to make unfounded accusations and lie a lot. Ok we know you can go back to your bridge now. This thread is not about Randi

The $4.2 million dollars that the Marine scholarship fund received from the auction of the letter and Rush's match are more than 4x what Air America stole from the Boys and Girls Club.

Great point.  AAR is such an embarrassment.  And now with the Randi Rhodes meltdown, the hypocrisy of the left is exposed yet again.

 Rush Limbaugh is the topic here.  He fake mimics a 12 year old boy, claims the boy is programmed and  claims he's not mocking him.  I can see why you don't want to talk about THAT. 

Ah no but you have exposed your abject stupidity again. I guess you cant help it. Morons do what morons are told to do.
