Hard times for the clinton gang when they have to claim NBC is "conservative". Does this lapdog expect anyone except the most deluded loony leftie to believe this crap? The best part is has-been (never-was?) conason's jealousy of Rush.

It's amazing how loud the liberals WHINE when they don't control ALL media and there is a single outlet for those who don't agree with them. Get over it! you don't own all of us!

[Psycho_Bunny]

Joe Conason? I don't even have to look at this to know it reads like used toilet paper.

[JessicaDragonet]

Does anyone know why Rush hasn't updated his web site.....it's still yesteday's stuff.

People woke up to what a drag a big socialist government is. Rush and right wing radio simply benefit from having a product that is needed and thus in demand.

Democrats are till trying to figure out how to deceive voters or bribe them into voting for the party that pulls the US leftward. Thankfully, they ain't doing a great job anymore.

Truth and freedom is the "vast right wing conspiracy."

Readers of online media criticism at Spinsanity.com, FAIR.org and DailyHowler.com could learn, however, that Mr. Limbaugh has literally demonized Mr. Daschle for years. "How many different versions of Satan, the devil, have you seen in your life?" he asked his listeners in July 2001. "Is Tom Daschle simply another way to portray a devil?"

So Clintonesque. Bring in four totally obscure websites as your 'scientific' sources.

What's got Conasson's brief's all twisted in a wad is the fact that Rush told the truth that the liberal media shoulda but didn't mention. Rush NAILED Dashole. Besides, I am a 15 hour a week listener. I don't remember Rush spending that much time on Dashole.

Once you peg a guy, is there really any reason to belabor the point?

"Is Tom Daschle simply another way to portray a devil?" says Rush.

YES.

Dashole has got a soft voice and he wants more than anything to make you THINK he really, really cares. But, he has proved himself to be a hypocrite par excellence. He's kinda like that old Elvis song, "You walk like an angel, You're the devil in disguise."

Joe Conason is one of the most venomous of the Clinton Koolaid drinking journalists.

Don't insult journalism like that. Conason is the guy who wrote the book Hunting of the President where he "proved" Hitlery's right-wing conspiracy. He's a hit man for the Left, it's a shame any magazine gives him page space.

hmmm... i, for one, believe that (myth) the lamestream media are not only liberal, but super-liberal... that they support their (admitted by polls) liberal leanings by writing and editing pieces (knowingly or unknowingly) that foist those beliefs on their readers. sorry, joe... you may not understand reality, but most of us now do. i find it most delicious that you and d'asshole and algore and the rest of the lamestreamers now find it necessary to even give lipservice to statements that you idiots are leftists. not too long ago, you found it unnecessary to even acknowledge those of us who voiced that as reality. sorry to crash unexpectedly into your world, but it appears that you are finally going to have to deal with it... denial, after all, is the first step... but you now are on your way... keep walking...

..."Because of what Mr. Limbaugh has actually said about Mr. Daschle—and because a serious physical threat has already occurred at least once as a direct result of irresponsible broadcasts by Mr. Limbaugh and others."...

Lemmie get this sh*t straight, is this idiot implying that El Rushbo was DIRECTLY responsible for Daschles being the recipiant of that dangerous anthrax letter???
This is ridiculous and even more outrageous than Daschles previous rantings!

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

Call out the boys in the white coats this guys lost his fricken marbles

Hank Buchanan, a brother of Pat and Bay, decided to visit Mr. Shearer’s Washington home. He broke into the garage, slashed the tires of two cars and threatened three other people with a handgun before fleeing. Hank Buchanan was apprehended and sent to a mental institution.

The Buchanan Family should sue Mr. Conason for Slander. How on earth could he make up this garbage?

[The Wizard]

thanks for including the author's name in the title so I can just flush this down the toilet where it and he belongs

They behaved as if Mr. Limbaugh is a paragon of respectability whose listeners would never, ever threaten anyone...not exactly. Didn't the unabomber have Rush's book in his cabin?

Given the unabomber was a liberal environmentalist, probably not.

As I recall, the unabomber's manifesto sounded quite a bit like Gore's "An Earth in the Balance."

[The_Media_never_lie]

The legend of the liberal media is finally dead. When the mightiest voices of the mainstream gang up on Tom Daschle with Rush Limbaugh, who can believe in that old myth in the liberal media any more?

With slight modification, Joe may be onto something. With all their unpatriotic obstruction foolishness in time of war, Baghdad Bonior and ilk etc., the tide may have shifted. Perhaps the liberal media is in decline.

Actually, I figure the reason the networks supported NAFTA is because thier boy Clinton supported it.
