Limbaugh's So 'Divisive' The Left Had To Make Up Lies About Him
IBD Editorials ^ | October 16, 2009 | MARK STEYN

Posted on 10/16/2009 5:37:28 PM PDT by Kaslin

Here is a tale of two sound bites. First: "Slavery built the South. I'm not saying we should bring it back; I'm just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark."

Second: "The third lesson and tip actually comes from two of my favorite political philosophers, Mao Tse Tung and Mother Teresa. Not often coupled with each other, but the two people that I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point, which is: You're going to make choices. ... But here's the deal: These are your choices; they are no one else's.

"In 1947, when Mao Tse Tung was being challenged within his own party on his own plan to basically take China over, Chiang Kai-Shek and the nationalist Chinese held the cities, they had the army. ... They had everything on their side. And people said 'How can you win? How can you do this against all of the odds against you?'

"And Mao Tse Tung says, 'You fight your war and I'll fight mine.' You don't have to accept the definition of how to do things. ... You fight your war, you let them fight theirs. Everybody has their own path."

The first quotation was attributed to Rush Limbaugh. He never said it. There is no tape of him saying it. There is no transcript of him saying it. After all, if he had done so at any point in the last 20 years, someone would surely have mentioned it at the time.

Mark Steyn continues to nail it and the MSM continues to hit their fingers.

Last night, Charles Krauthammer said, “After 20 years of being on air 3 hours a day, five days a week, the only thing they have on him is one comment about McNabb and his supporters in the Press. That’s the only thing they could come up with?”

Well said, Charles.

Interesting that CNN can fact check Saturday Night Live but can not find the time to fact check those outrageous statements made about Rush.

Happens all the time.

Every libtard out there has a Limbaugh quotation to pull out in justification of their own intolerance, but each and every one of those quotations is a lie.

Anybody who thinks we can “compromise” or “coexist” our way out of this needs to review the history of the 1930s.

Obama’s two biggest enemies, not Iran or the Taliban, but rather Fox News and the CIA. Yeah, good luck with that.

You cannot even pretend to be this stupid and incompetent. It’s the real thing.

Worth reading in its entirety, as usual.

There's the bad totalitarianism (Nazism) and the good totalitarianism (communism), whose apologists and, indeed, fetishists can still be found everywhere, even unto the White House.

Indeed, there are the bad mass murderers and the good mass murderers. The bad ones were put down 65 years ago. The good ones took over academia, took over your kid's university, and now sit in the White House.

The thing that troubles me about this whole thing, is people get all worked up over words. These kind of attitudes are what leads to the suspension of our liberties. Especially in the area of race relations, people feel like they have to walk on eggshells when talking about the subject.

The only way we make progress in race relations is to allow people to truly express themselves and have frank dialog, and not impose self-censorship over fear losing one’s job.

Defamation and slander. And if that doesn't work for the left , then what happens. Ask yourself.

We know what history shows us is likely to happen next.

Kristallnacht(Night of Broken Glass).

DO we need to force the Obama Junta's hand to do exactly that?

On this night, Germans citizens and SA (mostly SA) damaged (or destroyed) 1574 synagogues, many Jewish cemeteries, 7500 Jewish shops, 29 department stores. Some Jews were beaten to death, while others were forced to watch. The conservative estimate is that 91 people suffered violent deaths. More than 30000 Jewish men were arrested and sent to concentration camps.

************************************************

Segue to 2010 October 31st during the election run up.

On this night, American leftist citizens and Acorn Workers damaged (or destroyed) 1574 talk radio stations, many military cemeteries, 7500 Conservative Republican shops, 29 conservative department stores. Some Conservatives were beaten to death, while others were forced to watch. The conservative estimate is that 91 American conservative suffered violent deaths. More than 30,000 veterans of the Iraq war and conservative tea party protesters were arrested in their homes and sent to FEMA camps under orders from Homeland Security's Janet Napolitano.

As Rush always says, "Victory is the total destruction and unconditional surrender of your enemy!"

We need to conquer the Left. When Obama and his leftist pals are on their hands and knees licking our boots and begging for mercy,... we will have achieved Victory over evil.

Mark Steyn is too intelligent to leave any impression on the Left. They don’t know that communism’s over.

I expect retractions. Liars are liars. And I hope the person at the New York law firm that posted these lies gets fried in hot grease.

Anita Dunn wants to do for America what Mao did for China. And no, I’m not apologizing for that statement, since it’s probably 100% accurate. And no, I’m not caving to any leftist idiots that don’t like it.

Walter William. Thomas Sowell. Ken Hutchinson. Ken Hamblin. Jessie Lee Peterson. James Golden. Ward Connerly. What do all these men have in common with Rush Limbaugh? They share nearly all of the same views as Rush Limbaugh and they air those views in nationally syndicated columns and radio shows. In some areas they are tougher than Rush. But they are all black skinned. Are they racist, too?
