To cite just one example of the misinformation in this article: The Chelsea Clinton insult he refers to is totally garbled. Rush never called Chelsea the White House dog. It was on his TV show. He was reading from a magazine list of What's In and What's Out after Clinton defeated Bush in '92, and he read, "Out: Cute dog in the White House. In: cute kid in the White House." The control room was throwing pictures up on screen very fast and accidentally got a picture of Chelsea up as Rush was still reading the "cute dog" one. He probably couldn't even see it. From this, Francis extrapolates that Rush called Chelsea the White House dog.

It's called research, Francis. It's not that hard. A child can do it. Try a Google search.

I disagree with you. Rush did get it right. Chelsea IS a bow-wow babe.

Rush is what he is, but you don't really buy this do you? I remember the show, and if you could see it today you would also be sure that he meant to call Chelsea the Whitehouse dog. That is who Rush is, he doesn't care who he insults, although he may have eventually regretted this.

Rush really does make many factual mistakes and doesn't like to be called on them. BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER. He says his show is about entertainment, not news, his job is to rally the troops. He does not claim to be a journalist. If someone relies on Rush for their news than that's their problem.

More misinformation>>

It's been almost 20 years since the last time I heard Jeff Christie on a Pittsburgh Top 40 radio station.

I believe that it was the very early '70's that Rush was on KQV. I doubt Francis ever heard Rush on KQV.

the misinformation in this article

I've always believed liberals just can't prove their case if they have to stick to facts, which is why we see them misstating them so often.
