Conservatives: Read This Email

Here's an email I got from the Media Research Center:

++ Rush Limbaugh is under attack. Your immediate action is needed.

See details. Robert, The radical left activist group, Media Matters (funded by George Soros and others) has launched an all-out smear attack against Rush Limbaugh. And the liberal media are shamelessly promoting the assault. Their goal? To force Rush off the air. Unless our MRC Action Team takes a stand right now, they could actually succeed.

Here is what is happening: Media Matters is claiming that Rush called any soldier that opposes the war a "phony soldier." In fact, Rush was referencing an anti-war activist who falsely and despicably passed himself off as an Army Ranger and Purple Heart winner. Rush was calling the phony soldier a "phony soldier"!

MSNBC willfully echoed the liberal attack campaign againstRush -- despite the obvious spin and deception by MediaMatters. CBS's online "Public Eye" then joined in. And now, liberals in Congress are trying to get Rush removed from Clear Channel radio.

+ + Urgent Action Items Action #1 -- Demand Clear Channel Radio "Keep Rush." Our contacts tell us liberal groups are floodingClear Channel with demands to get Rush removed. Go here to Email or Call Clear Channel to support Rush:

MRC Action Action #2 --

Flood Congress with calls today. Liberal Senators are moving a resolution forward to publicly denounce Rush. We are urging all members of the MRC ActionTeam to contact your Congressman and Senators telling them you are offended by this action and urge them to oppose any legislative measure attacking Rush.

Here's the link for contacting your congressmen too:

Re: Conservatives: Read This Email

I agree that it's pretty clear that this is contrived anger to serve a political purpose, but for the life of me, I can't be bothered to lift a finger on Rush's behalf.

Rush is an idiot.

He was wrong to call soldiers phony.

Bill O'Reilly's also being smeared in much the same way.

Re: Conservatives: Read This Email

Wake up....Aqua. Before you simply regurgitate O'Reilly and Rush....take a look at the broadcast itself. O'Reilly, Hannity and Rush hate media matters because they point out the ridiculous things that they say and hold them accountable.

If you do your homework, you will see that Mediamatters posted the entire segment and transcript on their site so you can judge for yourself.

Rush, tried to alter his transcript so that he could try to claim that he was speaking about one soldier, not any soldier who disagrees with the war.

Rush got busted once again trying to lie and manipulate.

So again...before you buy into their desperate attempts to alter and distort what they said.....take a look for yourself. If you do so with an open mind, you might actually learn something.

Thanks for the link though. I emailed by congressman and Senators and asked them to support any resolution censuring Rush for his disgraceful comments.

Rush Limbaugh has been attacking liberals for years, so this email reeks of hypocrisy.

Limbaugh has proven time and again that he is nothing more than a HUGE hypocrite....and his listeners (what few remain) are either clueless or are so infatuated with him that they refuse to accept the fact.
