Limbaugh at Bottom of Barrel With Phoney Colonel (1 Viewer)

[danarhea]

Lt. Colonel Luke Fitzpatrick, purportedly of the 366th Tactical Air Wing, called into Rush Limbaugh's show, and was interviewed at length by Limbaugh on June 2nd, and the interview itself was a love fest, as he and Limbaugh bashed everyone who opposed the Iraq War. On June 5th, after the Pentagon claimed that no such person exists, Limbaugh finally admitted to airing the phoney call, but is still floating the possibility that the caller may be an officer in Iraq.

This is truly pathetic, folks. Must be the hillbilly heroin still at work.

I had no Idea there was a false bottom to the barrel....he must have a shovel hidden somewhere...'cause hes digging a hole at this point

 

[::Major_Baker::]

Not a big surpriose. The best part is how Rush humped his leg.

 

[jfuh]

The guy's an idiot, him, Ann Coulter all they know to do is liberal bashing. Almost every argument they present is closly followed by, the liberal left or democrats and so on.

That's right up there with the FACT that those "Iraqis" applauding us pulling down Saddam's statue were Americans pasted into the news footage.

It's all a pack of lies. Nothing surprises me anymore.

Thank God for the 2nd Amendment, it's getting close......

I personally can't stand Limbaugh but if anyone here is going to tell me that Randi Rhodes and Franken are not along the same lines as far as party and ideology bashing you are deluded.

Yup. I would put Franken Stein in the same class. Between them, the Limbaughs, and a news media which knows nothing but pablum puke, I would say that, as far as getting truthful information, the American people are <insert f word here>ed.

Speaking of Coulter, she makes Limbaugh look tame by comparison. Did she finally cross the line in her attack of 9/11 widows, or is this the sort of "shock value" that sells her and her books?


Ann Coulter

Conservative author Ann Coulter sparked a storm on Wednesday after describing a group of September 11 widows who backed the Democratic Party as millionaire "witches'' reveling in their status as celebrities.

"I've never seen people enjoying their husbands' deaths so much,'' Coulter writes in her book "Godless: The Church of Liberalism,'' published on Tuesday, referring to four women who headed a campaign that resulted in the creation of the September 11 Commission that investigated the hijacked plane attacks.

Coulter wrote that the women were millionaires as a result of compensation settlements and were "reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by grief-arazzis.''

That is so cold. :damn

She's a complete moron, a total hater, probably hadn't gotten a good lay in a long time since all the conservatives she only dates are only capable of the missionary position and not experimentive enough to do anything else.
Probably why she has her head so far up her butt.

I agree that Franken and Randi are both partisan. I don't have a problem with that. Pundits are supposed to have opinions. The huge difference to me is on a daily basis Rush pulls stuff out of his Hillbilly Heroin Arse that is just made up lies. He doesn't care whether it's a lie or not; he'll just go on repeating it, and his sheople will keep believing it.

This thread is just the latest in a long line of crap he's trying to pass off as fact. Same thing with O'Reilly; of course then O'Reilly changes the transcripts to cover his arse.

Sure, there are liberal hatemongers out there, but they just are not nearly as popular with liberals as conservative hatemongers are with conservatives.

Wow You definitly are going to win any supporters over with that amazing debating skill you have there in the middle of this partisan parade of happyness at the beginning of this thread with such on tack and insightful unbiased opinions of "fact" such as repeatidly stating about his "Hillbilly heroin arse".

The more i've listened to Rush the more I've come to believe he understands that he's 50% politician and 50% entertainer if not more on the entertainer side. I personally don't think he pulls as much BS as you state out of thin air, but at the same time I know well enough that you're never getting the full story listening to him.

But then, I'm sure you think Michael Moore speaks eternal truth and never misrepresents or makes up the "truth" since apparently the way you're talking heavy-liberal biased people in the media are just "pundit with opinions" but conservative biased ones just like to make things up.

Come on. If you're going to slag someone for being so horribly partisan, may try to look at least SLIGHTLY non-uber partisaned out yourself.


And in regards to both things; I'll give it to Rush for owning up that he had a problem, getting help, and being rather upfront with it and going through the wonderful debacle of a court proceeding that wouldn't have been anywhere near the amount of media coverage if it was Frankin that had it happen to him. And he did at least come out the next day, and state the fact that it was a mistaken caller, that the validity of what he said couldn't be assured, and appologized for presenting the guy as a fact the other day when he believed him as he does most callers.

But i forgot. Harhar, he takes pills and is souther, HILLBILLY! HARHAR

I listened to a clip of Rush tap dancing around his conviction. Hardly a mea culpa, and a few years too late.

I'm not big a fan of Michael Moore. So many on the right seem to think he's our poster boy: he's not. He doesn't make the rounds of liberal media, nor are his writings featured in liberal blogs. Frankly, he's rarely discussed at all. Actually, I liked Roger and Me, Bowling For Columbine, but had major problems with Farenheit 9/11. It would have been a much better film if Moore hadn't weakened the message by manipulating the facts. He didn't need to do that to prove his very valid points.

One thing I have always despised is hypocrisy, along with deceit. It is one of the major traits I have despised in the Democratic Party for a long time, but they are no longer the onlyones infected by it. It seems both parties are troubled by it, trying to play it up as being ethnically/moraqlly superior to the other. I have never been a major Limbaugh supporter, but I had respected his ability to do research on some issues and pose good points in the past. that was way in the past. since then, he has become a pompous, arrogant jerk, and - if true - such a stunt is only evidence of how he has to manifacture stories/evidence to justify his stance.

That is one thing i have admired about the GOP in the past - they never had to manufacture, generally speaking, anything to justify their stance. one case in point is how the Dems embraced hollywood immorality in the last election - Kerry stood up on stage with Hollywood elites who had comapred the president to genetalia and declared that was what the DNC was all about. The GOP declared they did not like it - that's not the way to do business, and Americans agreed! since then, both sides have turned ugly and have stopped listening to the American people, catering to them only in election years!

Limbaugh has become, if this story is true, a GOP Version of the Lib's 'Air America' and has lost all of his credibility.

The fact that you mindlessly swallow anything left-wing activists tell you and then come here and discredit yourself by regurgitating it? Yes, THAT IS pathetic.

Media Matters is a liberal mouthpiece. You are being fed a steady stream of bogus crap.

Beyond this, Rush is an OPINION JOURNALIST. He is not even supposed to be objective. This has no place in the "Media Bias" forum.

A more apt title for this thread would be, "Hysterical Liberal With An Axe To Grind Finds Outrage In Another Trivial Story."

:rofl That has to be one of the funniest things I have ever read on here. I don't know how you could contain yourself long enough to type it. :lol:

 

[easyt65]

THEN AGAIN....

it is unlawful for a member of the U.S. armed forces to speak out publicly, in uniform or identifying ourselves as a member of any branch od service, in a political platform, giving bias one way or the other. I will say that there could be a possibility of the caller being a legit member of the military who gave a fake name/rank to avoid reprisal/punishment. If a caller is calling from the AOR (Area of Responsibility), there are pretty tight directions about what we can and can not say. I am not saying the guy was real, but there is a chance he was.....

:rofl That has to be one of the funniest things I have ever read on here. I don't know how you could contain yourself long enough to type it. :lol:

Comparitively speaking......

I mean look at Pelosi - she files ethics charges against DeLay for taking a trip paid for by lobbyists. the ensuing investigation shows several of her colleagues were also guilty and that she was the biggest rle breaker of them all in regards to taking trips paid for by lobbyists. She and her buds then doctor the books, and she goes on to say in an interview that she can not be held accountable beacuse 'you have to treat Democrats differntly from Republicans because THEY are the criminals!" :rofl Come on! She is the biggest freakin' hypocritical joke in Washington!

The GOP doesn't have to manufacture stuff because the DNC keeps giving us such great material.

From Dean's mental breakdown scream to the DNC calling voters ignorant inbred redneck bible thumpers after losing the last election! Who needs to make stuff up with material like that?!

Nice rhetoric, but you forgot something. AFTER the Pentagon said no such person exists, Limbaugh ADMITTED it was phoney.

Do you admit that, or is your head still in the sand?

Now, I'm not going to try to split hairs here...but have you ever listened to any talk in shows really, anywhere? They don't do a full FBI background search on every person that calls. You will never get callers if you are absolutely 100% skeptical and disbeliving of every caller you get so unless its something just completely off the wall, you give it the benifit of the doubt. I would say you'd have an amazing story here if after the Pentagon stated it Limbaugh said "HA! the Pentagon is wrong. Fitzpatrick IS real and that really WAS him and thier covering it up."

A caller managed a good phoney call that didn't get caught right off, he admitted he was wrong and that the government showed the caller wasn't real, he brought up the same point another poster has that it may've been a real military guy just nto wanting to have his actual name known, and basically tried to save some face like every Entertainer in that kind of situation would. Wow...he's the devil!

I'm really not seeing what the story here is. You try to make it out as if Limbaugh planted the caller, hired him to call in, and knew it was phoney because he set it up. Find me some actual proof of that and i'll believe he's "manufacturing" his stories. This just looks like he got dooped.

I like how Neil Boortz tells everybody NOT to believe anyone who calls in unless they personally knows them, goes along with what they have already heard in the news, or does the research themselves to verify.

Guys like Anne Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, and even the guys on 'Air America' all occassionally, like the proverbial blind squirrel, come up with a nugget of truth and a valid point. The problem is that they are so rabidly loyal to their own causes/parties and just as rabidly hate their opponents that they go out of their way to use the 'nugget' that they have to strike at the other side so that attacking the other side is more important than the point they were trying to make.

Take Anne Coulter for a minute. She recently tried to express that there are thiose out there who politicize the death of their loved ones for their own agenda. Cindy Sheehan is a perfect example - her son gave his life defending and fighting for the country he loved, of his own free will. After his death, Cindy began going on all these lib- and special-interest funded trips, soaking up the attention, and her 'cause' became about HER. he even had photos taken with Chavez, who called for the over-throw of the U.S. during the same interview in which Sheehan said she wished Chavez could be our President! You think her son, who loved this country enough to die for it, would be happy to see his mom do this? He!! NO!

Coulter had a valid point, but she erred by allowing her rabid hatred of liberals skew her presentation - she called the widows of 9/11 victims who were voicing their opinion 'witches' and worse! She was WAY off base!

You and I dont see eye to eye on very much at all, but I have to hand it to you. That was one hell of a presentation, and you have made a good point with me. Good job.
