I'd be happy to provide direct quotes from Rush Limbaugh and David Horowitz if you'd like. Limbaugh's in particular is hysterical. One day after smearing her and getting an unusual amount of heat for it, he denied he ever said what he had said and instead blamed the liberal media misquoting him !

Here's another example of why no one takes you seriously. You're just spoon fed what the left what's you to hear. I acctually listen to Air America, but to no surprise i listen to Libaugh. He agknoledged SEVERAL times that he felt symapthy for Sheehan and her loss He agknoledged many times that her loss was real BEFORE making the statement misquoted. He THEN went on to explain that what was false about her story was the suposed sponaniousness of camping out in front of the Bush ranch.



I beleive mediamatters provides not only a full transcript but audio quotes. If you choose to beleive not what you read and hear but what you're told later on by the oxymoron, then knock yourself out.

listen

read.

From the August 15 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show:

LIMBAUGH: I mean, Cindy Sheehan is just Bill Burkett. Her story is nothing more than forged documents. There's nothing about it that's real, including the mainstream media's glomming onto it. It's not real. It's nothing more than an attempt. It's the latest effort made by the coordinated left.



But on the August 17 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show, Limbaugh falsely claimed that his comments were being misreported:

Quote:

LIMBAUGH: Let me take a brief time out here to address something. I have been the recipient of a pretty decent amount of hate mail, far, far, far more hate mail than I usually get. Just this morning -- and I don't really get a whole lot of hate mail. And most of it's funny as it can be. But apparently there is something that is out there misreporting what I have said. And of course, these people are reading that rather than listening to this program and choosing to believe it.

Apparently, what's out there is that I said that Cindy Sheehan is no different than Bill Burkett, that Bill Burkett lied and Cindy Sheehan lied. They're actually out there, people saying that I am accusing Cindy Sheehan of making up the fact that she had a son and making up the fact that her son died in Iraq. And of course, I've never said this. That I, early on in this, if you wanna go back -- and we'll post the archives on my website tonight just to illustrate this. I'm the one that actually expressed a little compassion for her. And I said I don't really wanna talk too much about her, particularly because she's lost a son here. And that can never be easy. And I don't care -- there are all kinds of different people that have all kinds of different reactions to this. But losing a child is the absolute worst thing that can happen to an adult. There's nothing that rivals it, in my estimation.

So the idea that I think that she's making it all up is just another sign of the desperation of the people on the left who love to take us all out of context to try to get their side riled up. What I said was that the media looks at her the same way they look at Bill Burkett, as an opportunity. It didn't matter whether Burkett was telling the truth or not, and it doesn't matter what the specifics of Cindy Sheehan's case are. She is protesting Bush, Burkett hated Bush. That's why they're attractive to the media, and that's why the media is willing to exploit her.



There. Please explain why his original statement should be forgotten and the backtrack heeded instead. Because he "spoon fed" it to you?

You can get all angry and insulting with me but man, first Limbaugh gets caught lying to people, then Robertson with his calls to assasination and later denial of having said just that, and now oddly enough Santorum claiming that he's criticized Bush in the past but with no actual transcripts or audio/video to back this odd claim.


Quote:

"The U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, who is third in the leadership, says one of the reasons people should vote for him is because he is in leadership," Casey said in an interview Thursday. "But he is not asking the tough questions."

Yesterday, Santorum disputed Casey's characterization, saying he had raised concerns about military and diplomatic progress in Iraq with administration officials, spoken publicly about intelligence failings that preceded the 9/11 attacks, and bucked the President in pushing for measures that crack down on Syria and Iran, which have been blamed for aiding insurgents [...]

"I have a very clear track record of being supportive of the policy, but not necessarily all of the tactics," the two-term senator said. "That shows a level of involvement and sophistication that my opponent has not grasped... . I still have concerns about our level of activity with respect to fighting the insurgency, and the number of former Baathists who are put in positions of power in the country and their relationships with Iran. I have expressed those concerns publicly and privately."

However, his public statements on those issues could not be found.

Today, Santorum was still unable to find evidence of said disagreements.

Quote:

Republican U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum's office acknowledged yesterday that it cannot locate public statements of the senator questioning the Iraq war, despite the senator's claim last week that he has publicly expressed his concerns.

But Santorum said that doesn't mean he hasn't made the comments.

Things have gotten so bad for Bush, that Republicans are now trying to invent disagreements with the president in order to distance themselves from the Bush disaster.

And that's funny.

I don't know.... Despite all this lying and then getting caught red handed doing it, you instead always point your ire and derision my way. I'm not the one playing you for a fool. I'm trying to help you....
