A disclaimer that the article and/or headline were false or misleading could have just as easily been added, don't you think?

It could have been added by someone who knew Limbaugh's story was false. I, for my part, am still not convinced that the story is false. I say we wait and see.

Don't the postings by the later posters claiming the story is false serve the same purpose an original disclaimer would have done?

And, if this story by Limbaugh is indeed false, then it was likely to deceive people. The discussion here makes that less likely at least for FReepers.

I detect here an atmosphere that more and more wants to shut down discussion and close our eyes to unpleasant facts. (Even if Limbaugh's article is false, it remains a fact that he published it. In fact, I believe it remains up on his site.)

In fact he wrote it and didn't put it on his site till way after 630 last night...

This is the message he wanted to get out. Check with Fox they have not offered a correction either except to change a day from a tuesday to a Monday.

Rush even said on the show why get rid of Lott. LOL

Best part is this will be at his web site for the public all weekend.

"I, for my part, am still not convinced that the story is false."

Even though Senators Hatch and Santorum say it is?
