Hm. Rush Limbaugh on Barack Obama, late August:
you can’t criticize the little black man-child. You just can’t do it, ’cause it’s just not right. It’s not fair. He’s such a victim.
Rush Limbaugh on Barack Obama, late September:
Obama Is Stoking Racial Antagonism
So, to review:
Winger stokes racial antagonism: Perfectly acceptible.
Obama stokes racial antagonism: Utterly beyond the pale.
How ’bout […]

Class act, as always:
LIMBAUGH: It’s — you know, it’s just — it’s just we can’t hit the girl. I don’t care how far feminism’s saying, you can’t hit the girl, and you can’t — you can’t criticize the little black man-child. You just can’t do it, ’cause it’s just not right. It’s not fair. He’s […]

If you pay attention to Limbaugh - first, my condolences.
Second, you probably know he’s encouraged Republicans to register as Democrats and vote for Hillary. Via the New Republic, the Cleveland Plain Dealer suggests it worked in Ohio:
A staggering 16,000-plus Republicans in Cuyahoga County switched parties when they voted in last week’s primary.
That includes 931 in […]

John Cole on why the Democrats should be positively giddy over how John McCain now has to suck up to the likes of Limbaugh:
I think that is still a net win for the Democratic party. There is nothing that will hurt McCain more with the independent voters he and Obama both will be attempting to […]

Way to be, Rush. I knew you’d live down to expectations.

Iraq Shmiraq - the war won’t be a real big issue in 2008!

It’s been amusing to watch Rush backpedal at full speed these past few days, it’s been amusing to see him get slapped around for such a protracted spell. But the reason this issue hasn’t yet died away, and probably won’t for a while, isn’t merely because there are outfits out there like Media Matters flogging […]

That guy who made the VoteVets ad, whom Rush said was “pumped full of lies” and sent out with the lies strapped to his belt, like a suicide bomber?
He was, in fact, severely injured by an IED. And, told of Rush’s response, he issued his own rejoinder, which is worth reprinting here in full:
So, Rush […]

He just doesn’t get it, does he? Denounces new VoteVets ad - which he admits he hasn’t seen - with this:
You know, this is such a blatant use of a valiant combat veteran, lying to him about what I said, then strapping those lies to his belt, sending him out via the media in a […]

This is a lesson in how your right-wing media reinforces memes, even lies.
Late last week, El Rushbo released a transcript and re-ran a portion of the show in question that purported to demonstrate that he’d never used the term “phony soldiers” to mean anything but one particular soldier who has been exposed as a fraud. As […]

Well yes; we know this. But now, in the wake of his “phony soldiers” comment, he’s trying to claim he was only dissing those who never really served, only pretended to have served.
Like, you know, John Murtha.
Indeed, Limbaugh parroted the line on the air yesterday, telling his critics, “I never said what you think I […]
