Scarborough: Media Matters Used 'Phony Story' to Go After Rush

Trying to smear a guy who has 20 million listeners

Never pick a fight with a guy who has 15 hours of national radio time a week. (Especially when you are dead wrong.)

The Friends on Fox show this new NY Magazine cover and Gretchen asks--Did NY Magazine cross the line in their treatment of a president?

[OneHun]

Ann Coulter is on Fox & Friends and they will talk about the Rush situation. Now.

Annie says that the NY Magazine pic looks more like Bill dressed as Monica. When asked about ‘08 she says that when given the choice of Hillary Clinton (”God help us”) or “B. Hussein Obama,” she is very excited about Romney or Giuliani for president.

LOL... that hair should be white!

During all this, the normally voluble Mika Brzezinski stayed silent as the Sphinx. Later, when Joe displayed the cover of New York magazine showing Bill Clinton as a "First Lady," Mika suddenly found her voice, wanting viewers to understand that "it's a joke, it's a joke," adding that Bill "will be much more than a First Lady."

I will not forget the week of Sept. 11, 2001 - the day that President Bush was standing on The Pile, with the first responders, William the Impeached was twenty blocks north, pressing flesh with the women in the crowd, feeling their... pain.

The newsblonde on NPR was having an on-the-air orgasm about how wonderful it was to have a passionate President, still referring to Willie in the present tense.

I guess this Brzezinski wench is no different.

“Glad to see Joe Scarborough being the voice of reason. I thought it was too late and he had gone over to the dark side. We need more of this from Joe and others in the media.”

Sorry, but Scarborough has gone over to the dark side. He is as self serving as they come. He also had said this a.m. that President Bush is incapable of finishing a sentence so before you start jumping on the Scarborogh band wagon, listen to him for a while.

Actually I was watching the show since 6 this morning. They touched on it at least three times that I saw.

You’re right...I thought the 7 a.m. slot was weak, but they got more into detail with Annie. Now if they’d just get off the topic of Britney...

It’s sadly hilarious hearing Harry Reid talking about patriotism and the brave troops, isn’t it?

"Grotesque" is the word I would choose!

"Will we now see the rest of MSNBC, from Tamron Hall to Chris Matthews down to Keith Olbermann, correct the record and apologize for the serial misreporting?"

or the Senate dims? It will be an icy day in hades.

[PGalt]

Thanks for reporting. Decaf Joe didn’t mention Harry POS Reid, Dungheap Harkin, etc., etc.?

They'll never apologize. Character assassination is simply an instrument for making more money for them.

“Will we now see the rest of MSNBC, from Tamron Hall to Chris Matthews down to Keith Olbermann, correct the record and apologize for the serial misreporting, or the Senate dims? It will be an icy day in hades.”

I doubt we will see the record corrected by the MSM, unless they are really afraid the truth is getting out to the public BIG TIME! If they have to, they will blame it all on Media Matters and then let it go. I hope Rush keeps it going FULL SPEED to push the DEMS against the wall for all their lies!

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Mathews, Olbermann apologize? Don’t hold your breath.

I think this "story" has lost it's steam before it's even begun.
As of 2007-1002-09:35ET, it is NOT featured on CNN, ABC, MSNBC, CBS, C-SPAN, WaPo, or NYT websites front page.

Thorough info, with documentation, at rushlimbaugh.com. It’s been a disgusting series of lies, with even Tom Harkin (a real phony soldier himself) spewing his vitriol at Rush from the floor of the Senate.
