” If you can name names and tell me when it happened, then I’d be happy to change my mind.”
Are you serious?
1) I don’t have a photographic memory. There are many direct quotes posted here in the past couple of days made by leftists in the MSM attacking conservatives.
2) Rush apologized several times.
3) What possible good does it do for you to mention possible lawsuits against Rush? Yes, he was wrong, but he apologized......ENOUGH ALREADY!!
Yes, I'm serious. You made the comment. I asked you to back it up. If you had been able to back it up then I would have changed my mind.
"There are many direct quotes posted here in the past couple of days made by leftists in the MSM attacking conservatives."
Yes. One-time derogatory comments that were uncalled-for. Not twelve hour insult-a-thons (four days of three hour shows - and no, I don't think he spent the full time on this). And those direct quotes made by leftists weren't accompanied by hours of misleadingly telling us what the conservative said, when the conservative didn't say it, as the actual basis for defamatory comment.
I never said leftists didn't defame conservatives. I just said this was different. You said this was the same. I said name names, because it's not the same. It's never been done before by anybody on either side of the political spectrum. And people are excusing it and continuing to excuse it because it was a conservative.
You, for for example, seem to think Rush's attacks were same thing as the attacks of idiots on the left. They weren't, in scope or duration, or in the repeated false attribution of statements. So I asked you to name names.
What possible good does it do for you to mention possible lawsuits against Rush?
This is one of our magic forbidden topics? I didn't start it. I was addressing the fact it had already been mentioned on threads. You don't think Sandra Fluke and the DNS already had advisors thinking about this before Scoutmaster responded to some FR posters?
Ummm. Go back three days. There are already news articles about whether Fluke is going to sue Limbaugh for defamation. Democrat lawmakers are already urging her to sue Limbaugh for defamation. There are already 'law' blogs where people are discussing it, and whether Fluke is a limited public figure. In different states' blogs, attorneys are discussing which per se rules apply to which comments of Limbaugh.
Consider me barrel racing. I'm not the first event at the rodeo.
