Endorsement is the wrong word. After Thompson was gone, Rush was pushing Romney over the remaining candidates.

And Rush did call Romney a conservative.

Of course, Rush Limbaugh is just a guy, and if he had spent all of 2007 and 2008 calling Romney conservative, it wouldn’t prove anything.

But to call someone a liar because they used the word “endorsement” when it was simply “support” is typical of the harsh treatment the anti-Romney people have employed on FR.

Romney aide’s bogus badges: Sources detail ‘illegal’ security tactic

" Boston Herald - Friday, July 20, 2007
In an apparent violation of the law, a controverisal aide to ex-Gov. Mitt Romney
created phony law enforcement badges that he and other staffers used on the campaign trail
to strong-arm reporters, avoid paying tolls and trick security guards
into giving them immediate access to campaign venues, sources told the Herald.
“They (the aides) knew the badges were fake and probably illegal,”
said a presidential campaign source who asked for anonymity
because the story could damage the individual’s career.
Two additional sources confirmed that the badges - described as bright silver plates with a state seal attached -
were first created and used by Garrity while Romney was still governor."

Flashback #2:

"There can’t be a URL, because the NRA did not endorse Romney for governor."
CharlesWayneCT

Romney said: "I also was pleased to have the support of the NRA when I ran for governor."

And Romney said: "I told you what my position was, and what I, what I did as governor; the fact that I received the endorsement of the NRA."

The truth:

Romney: "“That’s not going to make me the hero of the NRA”
Boston Herald (1994)

Romney: " “I don’t line up with the NRA.”

Really. So, making posts where it is stated authoritatively and challengingly that we should support Romney because Rush Limbaugh endorsed him, indeed, pulled the lever for him in Florida, end of argument -- isn't a clear-cut, plain lie in your book? Yipes.

You Ladies & Friends speak volumes about your hero.
