Rush's morning update on Wednesday dealt with a soldier, a fake, phony soldier by the name of Jesse MacBeth who never served in Iraq; he was never an Army Ranger. He was drummed out of the military in 44 days. He had his day in court; he never got the Purple Heart as he claimed, and he described all these war atrocities. He became a hero to the anti-war left. They love phony soldiers, and they prop 'em up. When it is demonstrated that they have been lying about things, then they just forget about it. There's no retraction; there's no apology; there's no, "Uh-oh, sorry."

Since some of the conservatives here like to bring up the fact that Clinton is a draft dodger, I thought I would ask this question. After all, we have already talked to death about Bush's "service" in the Air National Guard and Rush Limbaugh's butt cyst, so I thought I would bring up the name of yet another man who was all in favor of the Vietnam War and yet did not serve. Not only that, but over 30 years later, he had no reservations about sending thousands to their deaths, either. And to those of you who bring up Clinton ad nauseam, I have to say that at least he was a conscientious objector rather than a chickenhawk!:)

Are Media Wisely Running Away From Bogus Rush ‘Phony Soldiers’ Story?

On Monday, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) stepped onto the floor of the Senate and strongly denounced talk radio host Rush Limbaugh for what have proven to be out of context statements made by the conservative personality on his program last Wednesday.
Yet, with the exception of a CNN segment aired Monday, and articles by Fox News, USA Today's On Politics blog, The Hill, NewsMax, and the New York Post, virtually no major media outlets covered Reid's statements.
Not the New York Times. Not the Washington Post. Ditto all three broadcast network evening news programs Monday, and the Associated Press.
This raises an important question:
Advertisement
Have most major press outlets correctly concluded that the leftwing organization Media Matters did indeed cherry-pick and misrepresent Limbaugh's statements thereby making earlier reports on the subject erroneous?
Or, did they recognize how hypocritical it would be to castigate Limbaugh for basically reiterating what ABC's Brian Ross and Charles Gibson reported last Monday evening just two days before Rush made his statements?
Of course, a more cynical view would be that the media - now that it has been shown that Democrat presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton admitted her connection to Media Matters - want to bury this story as quickly as possible so as to shelter her and her husband from any scrutiny concerning these ties.
Regardless of the reason, there's been a peculiar silence regarding Reid's statements Monday, and, although the leftwing organization VoteVets.org is about to run a rather disgraceful ad denouncing Limbaugh, most media outlets appear to be running away from this story as fast as they can.
Whether this continues is anyone's guess, as is the cause.
Stay tuned.
Update 17:10 | Matthew Sheffield. A quick Google News search does seem to suggest the media's interest in the Media Matters smear story has continued to peter out.
There are very few MSM mentions of the story at all. The only unfair ones were as follows:
• A blog post from NBC's Mark Silva which mentions a left-wing astroturf group's ad trying to prolong the story. No mention at all about how Limbaugh did not say what was attributed to him by a far-left group.
• This blog post from the Tribune Co.'s Washington bureau focuses on Nevada Democratic senator Harry Reid's criticism of Limbaugh with barely anything from the radio talker himself.
Kudos to the Kansas City Star for correcting its initial report about the Limbaugh non-story. In a small item in today's gossipy "The Buzz" column, the paper's Darryl Levings spoke of a "Judgment wrong to Rush (read backward)."
Democrats, meanwhile must be getting desperate on this. Having failed to gin up a controversy over nothing, they're clearly overreaching, going so far as to trot out Iowa senator Tom Harkin as their attack dog. That's odd since Harkin actually has a record of his own at being a "phony soldier."

It appears that groups like Moveon.org and individuals such as Michael Moore and George Soros are pulling the strings of the Democratic party. These groups and individuals are deliberately and carefully distorting the truth about the most controversial current events while the Democratic party sits back and lets them. Has the Democtratic party been taken over by these left wing Socialists, or is the Democratic party using these groups and individuals to perform their "dirty work?" What will be the long-term effects on freedom in America as a result of it?

My husband and I had a huge arguement (2 years ago) that ended up going way over the top...we were under alot of stress (our son had just died, money issues, he lost his job ect.) well a nosey neighbor called the police and dh was taken to jail for criminal domestic violence, we were both upset and in the middle of a screaming/shoving match when the police arrived, they saw dh pinning me down ( he was telling me to calm down)....he was released the next morning and ordered to have no contact with me....which was of course rediculous, considering we had both realized how out of hand things were and had calmed down....well over the last year and a half dh has been going back and forth to court trying to get the charges dropped....but today I recieved a subpena from a police officer stating that I am ordered to appear in court and testify against DH! He warned that if I did'nt show or refused to "stick to my story" that I could go to jail! I did'nt even write the story, the police did.

...& yet condone Giuliani's affair while NYC mayor. Isn't that a hypocritical double standard? And wasn't the fact that Giuliani let his wife find out he was divorcing her in a press conference (how humiliating) instead of telling her first worse? What about the fact that he brought his mistress to live with him in Gracie Mansion while his wife & children were still living there? How come I never hear I'm not voting for him because....(all of the above)? Instead, he's the Republican 'front-runner'. Is this an example of good family values? If it is, then your values are all screwed up. It's no wonder the Republican party is all f*cked up!

my client, is so obnoxious to me, spreading lies about me, yet i continue to serve his account. He's actually horrible to everyone even to his own organization. I know how much money he makes, and i know he's not paying his taxes. I am very, very much tempted to report him to IRS. He's been cheating our government because he earns a lot, and he's not paying anything except Withholding tax which is automatically deducted. Am i being vindictive? should I let the Lord handle him?

I'll summarize:
Fundraising results this year-
Clinton-$80 million

Romney-$35 million
Giuliani-$33.5 million

Those are the top two candidates of each party. So, what's going on here? What's with the turnaround?

I live with a friend who is a illegal immigrant for five years. She was arrested for physically abusing me and threatening my life a couple months ago, but the police let her go after a few days. She's been acting very crazy for the last 2 years, because she could not find a man to marry her and love her forever. She fell in love with a married man who has no interest in her, and she tried to kill me on my Birthday just because she thought she could see this man if she asked him to take me out. She started to beat me up and said that she would kill me when I tried to go out of the door. I'm afraid that she might try to kill me again anytime soon. She is currently unemployed, and she has no money to even pay the rent. I've been supporting her most of the time that we lived together, and I do not have money to pay for a psychiatric hospital. Where can I find a place that she could stay and get psychiatric help at the same time? She doesn't have a valid I.D. or social security number.
