Limbaugh selectively edited "phony soldiers" clip, claimed it was "the entire transcript"

During the September 28 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, in response to Media Matters for America's documentation of his recent description of service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq as "phony soldiers," Rush Limbaugh claimed that he had not been talking "about the anti-war movement generally," but rather "about one soldier ... Jesse MacBeth." Limbaugh further asserted that "Media Matters had the transcript, but they selectively choose what they want to make their point." To support this claim, Limbaugh purported to air the "entire" segment in question from the September 26 broadcast of his show. In fact, the clip he then aired had been edited. Excised from the clip was a full 1 minute and 35 seconds of the 1 minute and 50 second discussion that occurred between Limbaugh's original "phony soldiers" comment and his reference to MacBeth, the full audio of which can be heard here.

Trouble with a bully pulpit today is that people can actually record what you say. He's only making a bad situation worse by denying he said it. He reminds me of a 4 year old who, when caught by an adult doing something wrong, will deny their action. If he can't be honest about his own documented words, why would anyone trust him to be honest about his assessments on the actions/motives of others?

Especially hiding during the Viet Nam with boils on his ass. Wonder what that excuse was. And how about the oxycontin he was caught with. And the viagra while on a sex trip. Boy that piece of crap has an excuse a second doesn't he.

Hold up your weapon Limbaugh, you're embarassing all of us.

he is a lying bastard
