Limbaugh Spins Reid's Letter Into Charity Gold
Washington Post ^ | October 20, 2007 | By Neely Tucker

Posted on 10/20/2007 3:36:11 AM PDT by johnny7

Petty bickering about patriotism and Who Loves Our Troops More has never been seen as a financial growth industry, but there's no stopping American capitalism. This is why a perfunctory bit of political grandstanding, committed to U.S. Senate letterhead this month, became worth a reported $4.2 million yesterday, instantly becoming one of the most valuable printed documents of the modern era.

“The letter in question is an Oct. 2 two-pager from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to Clear Channel Communications CEO Mark Mays lambasting the syndicate's Rush Limbaugh, who had recently criticized U.S. troops who were against the war in Iraq.

Neely Tucker is a liar...

As I listened to Harry Reid try to take credit for this letter yesterday, I was struck at how these people really are in an altered universe, and so devoid of reality.

It continues with the MSM. I really think above all else they will do themselves in.

I really believe this will start the ball unraveling to clinton's quest of the presidency.

God bless Rush Limbaugh. FINALLY someone get’s it. You don’t ignore these people, you don’t try to appease these people, you don’t apologize to these people, you fight them. They are every bit as sheep-like and gutless as our RINOS

......once again the MSM “spins” the truth.
Anyone who has followed this story from the beginning watches in amazement how stupid they (MSM) sound. Even today the story evolves to where Reid is taking credit for raising money

I agree. I was just saying to a friend yesterday that if Bush had fought back the way Rush fights back, we'd be looking at an entirely different situation now. He'd have support, his policies would have triumphed, and the Dems would all be trying to claim credit for the Iraq war. But he made the mistake of trying to appease them.

Too many fools and idiots that vote for that to happen.

Neely Tucker needs some emails. I've been trying, but the WaPo email is timing out. Maybe the mailbox is full, ha-ha! ...who had recently criticized U.S. troops who were against the war in Iraq.

Who is grandstanding here? She (?) knows darn well that the term 'phony soldiers' refers to people who either never served and are against the war or who exaggerated their service and are against the war. If you have to lie about your service, you are a phony.

I think it’s worse than that—it’s cold, calculated, manipulative lies and they count on the MSM to repeat their propaganda.

I don’t know that it’ll do them in, but it is getting more difficult for them to control and succeed which is why they’re targeting Rush and others in the new media.

You summed up two weeks of this B/S very nicely. Rush is Right!

At least W warned us back in 2000 about his horrible "new tone in Washington."

She has a story to tell and she’s gonna tell it, no matter what the truth is.

Schooled in the Big Lie technique, she spins this event her own way, and damn the facts.

These people are a disgrace to the honorable profession of journalism.

If I was her editor, she’d be fired.

What honor? a whore or for than matter, a child molestor, in my opinion, has more honor than a journalist.

At one point in time, maybe journalism was a honorable profession. But, as in everything else they touch, Democrats, Socialists, and Communists have corrupted it. In my opinion they have corrupted it to a point that a buzzard would turn up his beak at it.

Hairy Reed wouldn’t know the truth if it was flaccidly slapped across his face.
