OMG!! Funniest thing EVER! Limbaugh says he never lies on his show!

http://mediamatters.org/items/200502180006

Limbaugh: "We don't retract anything we do here because we never lie and make things up on this program"

On February 15, the same day that FOX News host Bill O'Reilly claimed that "o lies have been told about anyone" on his show, nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh boasted: "We don't retract anything we do here because we never lie and make things up on this program." Limbaugh also defended the accuracy of FOX News, stating: "You know, at FOX News, I have to tell you this, they haven't had to retract one story, major story that I can recall since they've been on the air."

Media Matters for America has documented frequent instances of smears, falsehoods and distortions from FOX News' "hard news" reporters and commentators.

And here are some examples of misstatements, lies, and distortions from The Rush Limbaugh Show:

And then follows a nice long list of lies!

1. He gets all of his info from the department of Rush's butt

Franken tore him a new one while on Letterman.

I wish Rush would get herpes or some other horrible ichy disease, he deserves it.

5. Oh jeez...

Fox had to retract several "WE FOUND WMD!!!11" breathless declarations during the Iraq invasion.

And just because the Pig Man hasn't ever retracted anything doesn't mean that everything he says is true. It just means that he doesn't have the integrity to tell his audience when he was caught being less than truthful. Al Franken points out his lies on a consistent basis, with a dittohead on to defend him (he frequently can't). Yet here Rush is defending the crap he spews on a daily basis, into the golden Excrement in Broadcasting microphone.

11. When limpdick is wrong about something

He just stops talking about it. It just goes down the memory hole.
Remember Ken Lay sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom during Clinton's presidency? Never happened. Caught red-handed with that one.
And that's just the tip o' the iceberg.

6. Rush - O'Reilly - Hannity can get away with obvious lies.

Look at the listeners....they NEED to be lied to and abused.

9. He sounds like he is on drugs. Oh wait! I remember now, he is on drugs.

Whenever I am in the presence of an El Lardo Zombie I always ask what PigBoy is talking about now. Their answer really doesn't matter because regardless of what they say, I always respond with, "It could just be the drugs talking. You know how addicts will say and do anything to get a fix".

If the person is really a rabid fan and obnoxious I respond with,"The only thing keeping Rush from giving hand-jobs for drugs in some public restroom is you and your patronage. Congratulations!"

12. Probably so.

But, who is paying attention to these bald-faced liars?

Only the sheep who worship the puke eminating from their vile mouths.

13. So long as there are 22 million butt-heads listening to Rush lies,

it won't matter how many lies he tells.
