Dingell Slams Limbaugh As "Dishonest And Misleading"

TPM Cafe ^ | 8/2/06 | Rep. John Dingell

[operation clinton cleanup]

All he is saying, is give peace a chance... again and again and again..

[daybreakcoming]

EGADS! 50 years in Congress??? Michigan! Do something! I don't even want my CongressCritter John Cornyn to be in Congress for 50 years. President one day maybe but a 50 year Congressman? Nah.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

More nuggets of wisdom from Dingell. Actually, berries of wisdom, or--Dingell Berries.

[ladyinred]

For your own political agenda, you ignored the facts and relied on an edited soundbite which does not stand up to the scrutiny of unbiased reporters.

Clearly he was saying this while looking in a mirror.

[Jake The Goose]

Oh my oh my - how am I ever going to sleep though the night knowing that Rush will lead off with this tomorrow.

One thing I give Rush - he never hides - he never cowers - he alwayws puts the issues right out there.

- Audio play backs
- Quote from the source

No one is safe hiding from Rush's team of talented truth detectors.....

Go get him Rush

Dingell is one of the reasons Congressional Republicans do not get any of my money anymore.

[CDB]

Misleading? Are you kidding, Mr Dingell? As a Rush 24/7 subscriber, I just now got the podcast of today's show, and extracted the Dingell sound bite. There's nothing "misleading" in your sound bite, Mr. Dingell. It's not 1968 or 1972 anymore. We Americans can do web searches for your latest dumb quotes.

I hope Rush can cover this tomorrow. However,my fear is that Rush will be laughing so hysterically that he won't be able to talk about it.

[rodguy911]

Taint enough, Taint enough dingellll!!

Dingell is one of the reasons Congressional Republicans do not get any of my money anymore.

Dingell is a Democrat.

[rawhide]

John, the only problem is that you were "caught" on tape saying you were not taking any sides. You remember that don't you?

Kinda hard to explain that away?

[madison10]

When are the voters of Michigan going to wake up?

When "Sportsmen for Dingell" realize there are more important things in the world than being able to vote for a Democrat who's for "gun rights."

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Rush was 100 percent on target. He simply ran his taped words.

[jocko12]

Looks like the demwits still can not take the truth.

[Mister Da]

What a Dingell Berry!

[justa-hairyape]

Apparently Liberals and Progresso's lack the ability to say they were wrong and that they are sorry. Been one of their major character flaws for decades. Dingelberry ought to learn a lesson from Mel Gibson. When you publicly say things that are wrong, the best way to handle the situation is to admit your guilt and ask the public for forgiveness. Dingelberrys response is to claim that the public was wrong and he was right. Perhaps that explains how he has remained in congress for 50 years.

[caisson71]

Haaaa, all the more reason!!

[TXBubba]

I hope Rush can cover this tomorrow. However,my fear is that Rush will be laughing so hysterically that he won't be able to talk about it.

Wouldn't it be great if he would lead off each and every show bit with the sound bite? After every commercial break he needs to play it.

[Fatalist]

While his comments are pretty damning, that clip does cut off the part where he backtracks and says he does condemn Hezbollah for the violence.

Here is a longer clip of the conversation.

I'm not quite sure how you don't take sides for or against a terrorist organization, yet condemn them for violence. He supported Hezbollah before he opposed them apparently.

[The Electrician]

The most devastating dirty trick that you can play on a Democrat is to quote his own words...
