Lies & Damn Lies

Thanks to the left, Rush Limbaugh's attempt to become a minority owner of a NFL franchise went down in flames. They branded Limbaugh as a racist and used outrageous, unconfirmed racist quotes to support their argument. Now they confirm the gasoline they used to burn down his dream was, wait for it, a lie.

Karl Frisch, a Senior Fellow at Media Matters, was a guest on the Stephanie Miller Show yesterday and had the following to say:

"You know, in fairness to Rush, those two out of literally dozens of racist things were not necessarily accurate. We were never able to find them. We've had people call us trying to find it. We don't know where they came from. They could just be Internet apparitions. But you know, that being said, anyone who wants to know how racist he is, we're happy to give them other examples."

Frisch's remarks raise questions on several fronts.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Yes damn their lies.

[FES0844]

Vicious. I wish Rush would sue their tails off!

[livius]

[The liberal]agenda and the people enlisted to advance it are fundamentally dishonest. They will lie to anybody about anything to further their cause.

Lies have always been an essential part of Marxism and in fact any totalitarian movement. Liberals have gone off the deep end and are just vicious totalitarians now, no more pretense of anything else.

Frisch says he’ll be happey to provide other quotes “proving” how racist Rush is. Provide them please, because I’ve listened to Rush for thirteen years, and I haven’t heard him make a racist statement yet. I’m sure if he did, Bo Snerdly certainly would have told him as much. What Rush has done for twenty plus years is make fun of liberals who are Black. That is considered racist and unforgivable to libs. Tough toenails.

[driftless2]

Happey...happy. (good grief)

[Cboldt]

But you know, that being said, anyone who wants to know how racist he is, we're happy to give them other examples.

But you know, in addition to directly asserting lies as fact, we're also happy to insinuate lies (and we'll defend our spreading of false and damaging rumor on the grounds that insinuation isn't lying).

[ICE-FLYER]

This is not even an honest defense...read again with my highlight...

"You know, in fairness to Rush, those two out of literally dozens of racist things were not necessarily accurate. We were never able to find them. We've had people call us trying to find it. We don't know where they came from. They could just be Internet apparitions. But you know, that being said, anyone who wants to know how racist he is, we're happy to give them other examples."

TRANSLATION...

Yeah...we lied...we don't care because we created the perception and the ignorant go off of emotion and perception NOT the facts...so we win!

[opus86]

But you know, that being said, anyone who wants to know how racist he is, we're happy to give them other examples.

OK Genius, then why not bring up those "dozens" of supposedly sourced examples, instead of using fake quotes? Liar.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Telling people there are other quotes, without giving them, solves the pesky problem of people noticing that the quotes are false.

Now not only do they expect Rush to prove he DIDN’T say something, they also expect him to prove they don’t have a quote about him they haven’t told us.

[ADSUM]

The Liberal Lies.

When Liberals accuse Conservatives with a lie, it is something that the Liberals have done themselves and are trying to cover up.

Karl Frisch, a Senior Fellow at Media Matters, was a guest on the Stephanie Miller Show yesterday and had the following to say:

"You know, in fairness to Rush, those two out of literally dozens of racist things were not necessarily accurate.

"You know, in fairness to Karl Frisch, those charges that he was a sadistic pedophile who frequently had sexual relations with donkeys were not necessarily accurate"...

[Carley]

Given that Goldman Sachs was going to be the firm that handled the financial aspect of this deal, I would say that Rush is far better off.

[Scanian]

I think that’s being worked on.

[Scanian]

In the old days, the called that kind of BS “Marxist-Leninist truth.”

[Scanian]

I agree. Rush is an equal-opportunity ridiculer of the Left.

[Scanian]

You heard those bestiality rumors about Frisch too?!

Wow, crap really gets around fast!

[Scanian]

Still, suing the bass turds should bring Rush loads of entertainment and maybe a pile of money too.

the "Fake but accurate" Dan Rather defense...

[Scanian]

I like the “magnitude of the accusations” tactic myself.

[Proud23yroldConservative]

Liberals suck. And I’m glad I have found this out at an early age. I’m only 22...just signed up on this site. :)

Rush is the man and I wish the damn liberals wouldn’t have ruined his chances at owning a piece of the STL Rams, my team.

Welcome to Free Republic!

Stick around here for a while and you’ll realize that the libtards suck even worse than you thought but conservatives are truly the salt of the earth!
