Question

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHTydb5js-E

It is about 2:38 into tape if don't want to listen to all of it.

So the Rush and Bill smear is OK by liberals.

Gee I wonder how much of the Mainstream Media is going to report this?

My guess they are now asking Hillary or Soros for premission.

Answer 1

Do you really think your average democrat voter would be bothered that Hillary helped found a tax exempt organization that's sole purpose is to destroy all who dare oppose her? They are socialists!

.

Answer 2

Mrs. Clinton did claim to be a founder. The tape was played by Rush Limbaugh on his radio show. Several days later, a spokesman for Media Matters claimed that she was not involved in setting up the organization.
Sean Hannity is having the law examined to see if Media Matters has violated it's tax exempt status by going political.

Answer 3

Answer: I have some time back seen a video in which Hillary claims to have founded Media Matters...Move On was to convince America to ignore Bill and Monica behind the Oval curtain and...move on, forget only the lies "he" told...Guess who financed that original effort!
In all honesty both have morphed into liberal dis-information outlets that use slanted and out of context bits to slander conservative honesty.

Answer 4

It's both hilarious and ridiculous that both Dems and Reps think smear campaigns against each other has an affect on voters. The 15% of undecideds are not going to be swayed by these scurrilous methods. It's probably better to be amused.

Answer 5

Yep and Al Gore invented the Internet as we know it today.

MediaMatters.org has done nothing but record and transcribe EVERYTHING poitical pundits say over public airwaves (I know a lot of these "pundits" are on cable, but cable is so prevalent and still comes under FCC control, so it amounts to the same thing).

If MediaMatters.org "takes the truth out of context" why can not ONE of Limbaugh's defenders produce a transcript or an audio file (anUNEDITTED audio file) which supports what they claim Limbaugh meant? Even though at this point, Limbaugh himself has had three different explanations for what he meant by the term, "phony soldiers".

Just more of that "If it's Republican, It CAN'T Be Wrong" attitude which allows the Limbaughs and the Mark Foleys of the Republican Party to flourish in a permissive, right-wing, "do-whatever-you-want-just-don't-get-caught" atmosphere.

You calling the vile slanders Limbaugh spoke on his show Sept 26th "a smear", shows the rest of the world you don't support the war, you don't support the troops and you certainly do not support a Democratic America. The more you spin what anyone can read or hear with their own senses, the less likely your Party is to ever again have any elected positions with any responsibility, as it is quite obvious to EVERYONE you refuse be responsible for what you say or do. You try to marginilize what MediaMatters does by saying Hillary Clinton founded it (which is not correct) but NO ONE has ever been to prove MM has falsified ANYTHING they post about these loudmouth fascists. And that's why you attack it's "credibility", you can't attack it's facts.

Rush comparing another Purple Heart recipient (from injuries sustained in Iraq) to a suicide bomber makes me just as sick as the "phony soldiers" comment,

but then, I'm an Army veteran.

Are you? If not, maybe you don't see the hypocracy Limbaugh shows whenever he criticizes ANY active-duty soldier or veteran (him being a Draft Dodger during Vietnam- "I Can't Go Fight in Nam, Uncle Sam, I Have a Pimple On My Butt"- Funny that "cyst" kept him from serving his country when it called upon him, doesn't seem to a problem when he's in that radio booth all day), simply because they disagree with him.

Oh and the "spin" that Limbaugh was referring to Jesse MacBeth in his original broadcast? If that's true why did he only replay an EDITTED version of the broadcast? If he had nothing to hide, why not play the whole thing? It makes it a lot harder to not take things "out of context" when even HE won't provide the entire transcript, either again on his show or on his website.

Thank God we have MediaMatters.org, right? To make sure we get to see and hear EVERYTHING which gets said? But getting back to Jesse MacBeth. MacBeth MAY be a liar, but even if he was discharged after 44 days, that's STILL 44 days more than Rush ever spent serving and defending his country, so as far as military matters go, I will listen to MacBeth before Limbaugh. In fact, I will probalby listen to my 7 year old goddaughter before listening to Limbaugh ever again. It's a credibility thing. Limbaugh has none.

So, in conclusion, as MediaMatters.org states themselves, Hillary Clinton had nothing to do with starting or founding that organization.

Did George W. Bush start "Swift Boaters for Truth"? Whatever happened to them anyway? Did they get popped back into the closet but kept ready, just in case John Kerry tries running for President again?

How about the "Push-Pollers" in South Carolina who, during the 2000 primary, called voters and asked them, "Woud you vote for John McCain if you knew he had fathered a black child out of wedlock, and was currently raising him as his own?"

Finally, as far as your "guesses" go, how about "guessing" where Osama bin Laden is? Do you remember who that is? Or are our efforts to capture and try the confessed killer of almost 3,000 US Citizens just another left wing "smear" campaign?

Answer 6

She's probably just as confused wondering if she's actually Chelsea's mother too.

How the hell can people make a claim and have others defy such claims - all from the same bedroom?

Answer 7

Bloggers are not the sentiments of leading politicians at all.

Answer 8

She has her own news network,can't possibly be any slant there.
Kind of like PRAVDA.

Answer 9

No big surprise there.
