Like I said you want a slavishly obedient Lap Dog Media that licks the butt of government like it’s a dog treat vs. a feared Watchdog Media that protects We the People as the Founders intended.

I think you would like living in North Korea. The media is very Lap Dog and Slavish to their Lord and Savior Kim Jung-un.

Why do you limit it to today? ALL this week Rush has been milking that WMD thing by Trump for all it is worth. ALL the feakin’ week. Numerous times a day. Trying is best to harm Trump, and all the while claiming to be a disinterested analyzer.

Well, he certainly lost me as a listener today. Screw him and the horse he rode in on.

By the way, did you hear the caller, a snide, snotty, POS, probably taking down, 25,000 a year and said that Cruz could harm Trump by calling him a “loser”? One of the characteristics that to him made Trump a loser was his divorces. Limbaugh probably has had more divorces than Trump.

I only commented on today because I turned him off for the past couple of weeks due to his Cruz/Rubio rumpswabbery. I tuned in a few times today to see what he was talking about, and he sounded like he has a severe case of TDS.

The caller with the Trump “loser” reference prompted me to turn off the radio.

Trump went far easier on Willard Romney.

I’m not gullible or fooled.

I’m honest about what’s being said. I would treat you the same way.

There’s a difference between saying “they lied” and “Bush lied”. If Trump didn’t say expressly that Bush lied then don’t say Trump said “Bush lied.”

see someone say something on TV

It's a form of expression used everyday Kaslin. Deal with it.

Bush never said that Iraq had any involvement in the 9/11 attack. He actually dismissed reports by other foreign intelligence agents that suggested that Iraqi agents had met (in Vienna, I believe) with the guy who led the 9/11 attack.

Bush also discounted the reports (later supported beyond reasonable doubt) that Salman Park in Iraq was used as a training facility for airline hijackers.

BTW, Bush and everyone else on the planet believed that Saddam had WMDs. And the post-war evidence reveals that he was probably correct. I'll bet you didn't even know that--because the mainstream media never covered it.

But all of this is beside the point. What matters is that the Silberman Report showed with riveting evidence that Bush never lied at any point about the justification for attacking Iraq. The claim "Bush lied, people died is itself" a lie used by the Alinskyites to mobilize their radical base, to inflame their useful idiots against a Republican POTUS.

(The "Hands Up--Don't Shoot" mantra is typical of the way the Democrats make loud, angry, false accusations in spite of all evidence. Alinsky taught his devotees that the truth doesn't matter. All that matters is causing your opponent damage.)

Rush Limbaugh has an interesting take on Trump's weird statement in the SC debate. He suggested today that Trump was fully aware that his accusations against Bush were false. Why would Trump do this? Well, Rush pointed out that SC is an open primary! In short, Rush thinks Trump was deliberately using the Dem's well-known false talking points concerning President Bush to woo crossover Dems to beat Cruz and Rubio.

Rush believes that Trump is a win-at-all-costs guy. (Unfortunately, when he wins, he does so at the cost of his honor.)

So, take your choice: Either Trump is an ignoramus or he is a lying, pandering scoundrel.

The Bush administration lied in terms of misrepresentation because there was no certainty about the WMD’s still being there. But I doubt Bush ever actually said himself that WMD’s were there and were the reason for the invasion.

Your second supposition is correct.

However, your first sentence, saying the Bush administration "lied in terms of misrepresentation" is not clearly correct. Colin Powell's prissy complaints mean nothing. He is the worst sort of RINO. He quite ordinarily votes for Dems--and he hates Bush.

EVERYONE in the intelligence world believed that Saddam had WMDs. And the available evidence that came out in testimonies before the Senate Committee argues pretty strongly that Saddam did have WMDs--but that Saddam got most of them shipped to Damascus before we invaded Iraq.

part of that is that due to his mancrush on Trump, Rush cannot admit that Trump is a reflexive liberal.....

rush laid only kid gloves on Trump, and mostly on the Obama Care mandate.

I guess Free Republic now is obama care mandate loving central.

Well here’s the exact quote during the debate:

“They lied, they said there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none and they knew that there were none.”

And to say they knew there were none is really putting the icing on the cake so to speak.

So yes, Trump said Bush lied and did so in the most extreme way.

Wow.

Who were “they”?

The Bush administration perhaps? And the Bush administration is led by who? And who sets its agenda?

Talk about parsing words...

Trump is basically saying Bush got thousands of people killed on a known lie. And you’re okay with that...

Nothing like oversimplification to make a point.

Many here at FR are well aware of Trump's shortcomings, yet still support him. His stance on illegal immigration and his willingness to fight, rather than lie down, are what propel his candidacy. No other candidate has shown the ability to change the discussion as Trump has.

Maybe the wheels will come off his campaign. We will know more tomorrow evening.

Sorry, I was engaged in two different thoughtful, mature discussions with two other Trump supporters in other threads.

I totally missed your cute little snarky non-response.
