Artful dodging there bucko-meister.

Point is, Limbaugh was designated an honorary member of Congress by the '94 crowd, I believe it was, who rightly accorded him a lion's share of the credit for getting them elected.

His audience is some 30 million, he NEVER subjects himself to fair debate from any detractors -- he controls the floor at all times.

Oh yeah, free speech and all, just like Goebbels and his boys had free speech. Shouting fire in a crowded theater is not generally approved of and Limbaugh's continual placing of blame on the crowd that his sponsors wish to marginalize is not scientific, scholarly, you name it.

He declares that he is never wrong and the large segment of the American public who are congenitally unable to consider that their country could ever be foolish, in error, in a mass sort of way drink it up like mother's milk.

Thus we proceed to mediocrity.

Treachery, a synonym for treason. I didn't pick the word. MoveOn.org did.

Yes and you also state that Hillary Clinton "called DP a liar."

Incorrect, not accurate, faulty, prevaricate (noun; the end result of prevarication).

Amazing when you consider the demonic extortion of govt. funds by NPR, enabling them to compete savagely with him.

Damn the restraint of private business!!

You seem to be heading out to left field...

That would be David Petraeus. Try to keep up.

How about Gen.DP in future?

You do recall stating that HC called someone a liar? Think pergo-pergs, think.

Oh, that. Is this the quote you're looking for:

"The reports that you provide to us really require the willing suspension of disbelief,"

Do you think that the reports in question would contain truth if one suspended disbelief?

Calling someone a liar nicely is still calling someone a liar.

See, by choosing ad hominem argument MoveOn shifted the focus from their complaint to Gen Petraeus' honor.

MoveOn did that? 'Cause it seems to me, conservatives did by getting all hot and bothered about two words.

So do a pal a favor and help me stop flailing. Say something that makes sense.

Please... I need the dignity...

Just 'cause you keep repeating it doesn't make it true.

It's frustrating and maddening, and why they must be kept in the minority. I want to thank you, Mike, for calling. I appreciate it very much.

Here is a Morning Update that we did recently, talking about fake soldiers. This is a story of who the left props up as heroes.

It is what it is.

Ok, here we go. With a little help from Wikipedia, Google and others I found these folks:

Jesse Macbeth
Paul Lemman
Walter Carlson
Wes Cooley
Terry Powell
Micah Wright
Al Hubbard

and evidently

Sen. Harkin
Sen. Kerry

All of whom misrepresented what they actually did while in the service or did not serve at all but said they did.

at least half of those are fake and the rest lied about their service. ABC news and Limbaugh reported on some of them evidently within a day of each other.

Botnst, Are you going to jump in here with your definition of "lie"? For consistency's sake, I think you should.

Taken alone, Hillary's statement seems to imply dishonesty on GP's part, but it is ambiguous enough to make the context of her statement worth reading, assuming, of course, that that particular dead horse needs to be beaten some more.

And just because you keep denying it doesn't mean it is untrue.
