Limbaugh's Sickening Smear of Liberal Blogs
OK, I admit it, that headline itself isn't likely to surprise a lot of people and, sadly, today's item on Rush "Oxycontin King" Limbaugh probably will not shock anyone either. But, I'll mark this as reason number 2,394 I give when people ask why I fight Republicans so hard and why I give them no break whatsoever.

Here's Rush Limbaugh talking to millions of Americans today about the reaction on progressive blogs to the news that our two captured soldiers have been found dead in Iraq:

"I got an e-mail here – 'Rush, now that, now that two of our own have been tortured and murdered by the terrorists in Iraq, will the Left say that they deserved it? I am so sick of our cut-and-run liberals. Keep up your great work. Bob C. from Roanoke, Virginia. P.S. I love the way you do the program on the Ditto King.' I read - no, I added that - he didn't, didn't put that in.

"You know, it's - I gotta tell ya, I, I, I perused the liberal kook blogs today and they are happy these two soldiers got tortured. They're saying 'good riddance.' Hope Rumsfeld and whoever sleeps well tonight."


I've been to a lot of blogs today and have seen nothing but grieving for these young men and their families -- but here's Limbaugh using their deaths to spin more lies about people like us.

Anyone care to ask why I can honestly say I hate people like him so much?

You can hear the audio of this at Crooks and Liars and, by the way, here's the little criminal's booking report in case you need a reminder of who we're dealing with.

1. I have seen no celebration
All these pieces of crap have is lies, because we just aren't as evil as they wish we were.

Fuck'em

3. That is SUCH a f*cking lie!
I haven't read even ONE post on any "liberal" board I've been to that has been celebratory in any way. If anything, they are somber and blaming Bush for what happened to these poor boys!

This is why the Red Staters always vote for the RW-ers. They believe this bullsh*t! Are there any Democrats that will answer him publicly? Probably not. But, if one des, will the media even cover it???

I am so disgusted!

4. Limbo is a liar. He knows it and his followers know it too.

5. Rush Limbaugh doesn't speak for me
and I'll be damned if we just continue to allow him and the rest of the RW echo chamber of put words in my mouth. :grr:

So, where are the Cons demanding he apologize for painting all Liberals with a broad brush of extremism? All I hear are crickets.

6. This is the kind of crap that has to be stopped!
It's because of this asshole saying this kind of shit that the righties are ready to kill anyone who claims to be "librul"...or a Democrat!
We've been painted with this brush for so long that it's made many dems afraid to publicly declare their support for the party...or for progressive/liberal causes.

7. Democrats need to fight Limbuagh head-on!
Thanks for this post! Limbaugh's entire show is a three hour attack ad for the GOP. He lies, smears and spews hate as good as any NAZI propagandist ever did.

9. In 2004, I read one wing-nut's newspaper column using this same tactic.

The blog he attacked was DU, which prompted me to seek out this site for the first time. Those lying $h!t's have been getting away with this hate-mongering for too long. Unfortunately, all that they need is one troll to spike the blog, and then they have the "evidence" necessary to smear all of us.

10. What's really amazing is that his listeners will believe this without
bothering to check for themselves to see if this is true. Apparently, most of them don't have enough intelligence or curiosity to do any kind of fact check on the venom that pours out of his mouth.
