Who thinks that the Left aren't shrill ass bandits who are just making shit up to suit their hateful agenda?
Media Matters Finally Admit Rush Didn't Make Racist Remarks
The smear machines says the comments "were not necessarily accurate".
And yet, despite the candid admission by Karl Frisch (right image, right side) of Media Matters during today's Stephanie Miller Show that no evidence could be found to support the claims, his organization's website appears silent on the matter.

stephan -
He does NOT mention that it 'could be fake' until long after he was trumpeting it as real. And know what should have been a nice big giveaway? The giant word "Satire" in the title of the "source" he got it from.
More of the same old GOP claptrap - making shit up in a vain attempt to make some strange point... "BE AFRAID!"
I can see that you have taken the message to heart.
Oh, and that stupid link is more FauxNews crappery - clearly edited out of context. You can make anyone say anything if you aren't bothered by thhings like "ethical standards".

In about two weeks, we, as countermoonbats and partriots will mark the first anniversary when American voters, elected an inexperienced hack for president. Hard to believe. Time flies when you're having fun!

Anon, you are full of it. In the first place, "satire" appears no where in the title of the piece, let alone in "giant" print.
http://jumpinginpools.blogspot.com/2009/08/obama-college-thesis-constitution-is.html
The word satire appears only at the very bottom of the story as a "tag" amongst several other tags. How many people that read articles read tags?
That said, conservatives need to hold themselves to a higher standard than the liberal media, because I think that many false stories are planted with hopes that conservatives will pick them up and later be discredited. Don't be suckers, people, do your due diligence, and don't run with something without vetting it, especially if it seems too good to be true.

Racism and Serena Williams
Racism is an ugly word and a word very often unjustly applied.
Professional hate mongers and race baiters, like the Reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, toss the term around as if they’re playing volleyball, unmindful of the lesson behind the Aesop fable of the shepherd boy who cried wolf.
The townspeople eventually get fed up with the boy’s lying and refused to come to his aid when a true threat came on the scene, a nasty, hungry, real wolf.
Aesop’s readers learn the moral that, “Even when liars tell the truth, they are never believed. The liar will lie once, twice, and then perish when he tells the truth.”
So, too, will reasonable people come to realize those reverends are money-grubbing, racist charlatans whose repetitive cries of racism have as much substance as the shepherd boy’s “Wolf!” lies.
Which brings us to the less than serene sports star, Serena Williams.
The tennis amazon blossomed into a foul-mouthed, threatening harridan at the U.S. Open last September leading some to believe the dad-proclaimed greatest tennis player in the history of tennis had erupted as much out of frustration as out of her vile personality and character: http://bit.ly/3V7F01.
Serena recovered, even if the line judge who was the target of her F-bomb-filled, murderous invective hasn’t.
Serena moved on down the road to exhibiting her prodigious bod on ESPN Magazine’s “body issue” cover:
As a result of her tirade and exhibiting her well-oiled figure for all the world to see, Serena may not be welcome at the upcoming Australia Open next February: http://bit.ly/11Z3t.
If she is disinvited, . . .

Summary of Charles Krauthammer's Remarks
Last Monday was a profound evening. Dr. Charles Krauthammer spoke to the Center for the American Experiment. He is a brilliant intellectual, seasoned & articulate. He is forthright and careful in his analysis, and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a fear monger nor an extremist in his comments and views. He is a fiscal conservative, and has received a Pulitzer Prize for writing. He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly for the Washington Post. . .
(The above was received as an e-mail and is re-printed here as a public service without major edits or commentary.
(It is important to note that the above is a summary interpretation of Dr. Krauthammer’s remarks to the Center for American Experiment and that he has taken objection to the dissemination of this summary mainly due to misrepresention of his rhetoric and not on substantive grounds.
(Dr. Krauthammer notified the Center that this “summary of his speech . . . is ‘neither accurate nor authoritative.’ “
(However, a perusal of 5 internet links he provided to the Center demonstrate no appreciable variation from the summary’s content. Those links to columns printed in The Washington Post soon after Obama’s inauguration began with “The Obamaist Manifesto.” All are available here: http://bit.ly/4vVpOF.
(Without taking issue with Dr. Krauthammer’s objections, I would suggest that he at least acknowledge the substantive truth of the summary even if the presentation and articulation of his views falls far short of his outstanding verbal and written skills.
(Let’s all work together, Doctor.)

Not long ago, there was a Help Wanted ad in the Weekly Standard. "Research Assistant for Charles Krauthammer, two year term." Wouldn't that be a dream job for some of us here?

Anybody hear about the "350" observances this weekend? The purposes of which were to bring attention and awareness to something called "global warming." Never heard of it myself, but apparently that is the absolute maximum in parts per million of carbon dioxide that is considered safe by the eco freaks based on scientific data. People were supposed to gather in groups and form the number 350 or somehow display the number 350 and have their picture taken and then posted on the website "350.org." Ya can't make up stuff like this.
My local paper has a photo of a group of 18 people, 4 little kids and 14 "adults" joined hand to hand forming the number 350. Actually, they were a couple of people short as a two sweaters or jackets were used to complete the "0." (They are a taco short of a combo meal, but that's beside the point). There are also two dogs thrown in for good measure. The credit line for the photo reads "submitted photo." (read as: the staff photographer had more inportant assignments)and the newsstory was labeled "staff report" (read as: press release).
I feel sorry for the kids. Moonbatty parents: "C'mon Billy and Suzy, were going to walk to the park and help the cause of global warming."
Billy and Suzy: "But it's raining"
Moonbatty parents: "OKAY, we'll drive the Prius."
More utter nonsense here: www.350.org

Israeli Racism
In a scathing attack on certain religious factions in Israel, an article on the authoritative Jewish website, HARRETZ.com denounces the existence in the country of self-righteous zealots imvolved in a “racist campaign [which] is being led by the Shas party, headed by Interior Minister Eli Yishai.”
Shulamit Aloni also targets Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for having “fallen in love” with ultra-orthodox elements in Israel and Israel’s “parasites,” 50,000 yeshiva students who are exempted from working and serving in the military.
The notoriously-belligerent Netanyahu allegedly ”despises the principles embodied in the founding document of the state . . . that ensures the country will be developed ‘for the benefit of all its residents,’ that there will be ‘complete equality of rights for all citizens regardless of origin, race, religion or gender,’ as well as ‘freedom of religion and conscience.’ “
The chief object of Aloni’s disaffection is the ultra-Orthodox hypocrisy in accepting the assimilation of Russian emigres while insisting ”on racial purity,” and expulsion ”from the ‘Jewish democratic’ state [all other] children . . .

So Rusky does not fact check? Wow, what a surprised.
Oh, and when contronted that he was punked, he defended himself by saying "we stand by the fabricated quote because we know Obama thinks it anyway"
After so many years of mis-labeling and mis-characterizing others he gets smacked down by the NFL "Not For Limbaugh". Great job NFL.
