"Reporters Lied, Coalminers Died"
limbaugh this afternoon. An early nominee of right wing ignorance of 2006. The white house spokesman made this statement this afternoon blaming the evil liberal media for first announcing all but one of the coal miners in WV was alive. I choose to add nothing further. His statement needs no commentary.

1. That doesn't even make any f*^@#! sense
Edited on Wed Jan-04-06 02:37 PM by Bluzmann57
So they are blaming reporters for those men dying? What a bunch of shit! Sometimes I'd like to just walk into limbaugh's studio and pound his drug addled ass into oblivion. How dare he blame the media for all of this stuff! Aaaaarrrrggghhhh! Sorry, I'm just p.o.ed at limbaugh or anyone else who makes a ridiculous statement like that.

3. That's almost as good as his assertion
that 7 firefighters were found alive in the ruins of 9/11 - they piled into an SUV as the buildings collapsed around them. Limbaugh used this "fact" as proof that SUVs are good for America.

6. That is just retarded.
That doesn't even make the slightest bit of sense.

I guess it is the reich wing way of deflecting blame away from the mining company.

7. What does make sense
is that he knows his audience. The mindless who think they are conservative now have another talking point to add to their fake swagger. Its all the media's fault. limbaugh has to keep the drones happy; he can't make a living any other way.

8. Hannity is always ranting about the liberal media.
It's going to be interesting to hear what he has to say.

9. Gee, wasn't Faux news reporting this, too?
I also seem to recall a little El Nino incident where rushbo told his listeners that the Dems exaggerated the danger to those on the west coast. When the storms came, how many people didn't evacuate and were killed because oxyrush told them it was safe?

10. Maybe Lush was trying to be sarcastic, making a comparison to the
"Bush lied, people died" type statements. Wouldn't make any sense then either.

11. Yeah, I heard that. If I could crawl through a computer and lines I
would have to bitch slap that idiot. What a disgrace for the Republicans. Why they do not do something about that hate monger, I don't know. Then again, they have Cheney, Rumsfield, Bush, and now Abramoff.

But we are the haters of all that is right and Godly.

Pulease. I'll slap Falwell as well if he doesn't shutup his bs. Where are my Xanax's??????????

15. So
getting the story wrong is the real problem...not a mine with so many safety violations that it should have been shut down long ago, or the Repub Party's anti-union stance?

17. OK, kids, the point of this whole forthcoming exersize...
Is to make the media look as bad as possible. That way the rethugs will prove there's no liberal media in time for next year's elections.

Because after all, if you cant trust something as simple as the media lying about the deaths of coal miners, who can you trust?

:sarcasm:

18. I totally agree with you.
In my PM, I just wanted to tell you what I heard.

Then on Fox, I heard Geraldo telling the lie that the Governor of WV and his staff were the ones who told the people in the church.

I am so sick of all the lies!

19. ???
I'm simply wondering how anyone can listen to drug-rush Limbaugh for 3 minutes in a row without smashing their radio. I'm also shocked that flying monkey still has the gall to preach against "liberal media." Did he mention any of these liberal mediums by name? I want to know where to tune to hear at least some semblance of the truth.

20. Hey Rush! Look up "causal link" you bastard!
This is the classic redirection of anger. It's the MEDIA's fault!!

The media KILLED these guys. They were alive until the Media reported they were dead. The media should have kept reporting they were alive.
