ABC and NBC news showed Rump Leakage (Limbaugh) for the pig he is
both newscast ran segments on the Michael J. Fox ad and then they showed Pigboy talking about it on his show, he was looked like a total asshole and ABC then said "Limbaugh apologized on the air after many listners called him and told him he was wrong". I don't if i'm more shocked that both networks showed him for what he is or the fact the Dittoheads called him and let him have it.

4. Whoa!
You know you've gone too far when even your sycophants get angry with you and let you know it. Wonder how many of his listeners have degenerative illnesses that possibly could be helped with stem cell research.

44. Well, not really.
If you go back and look at his "apology", you'll see that it wasn't an apology at all, since he qualified it.

link
    "All right then, I stand corrected. . . . So I will bigly, hugely admit that I was wrong, and I will apologize to Michael J. Fox, if I am wrong in characterizing his behavior on this commercial as an act."
    ...
    Then Limbaugh pivoted to a different critique: "Michael J. Fox is allowing his illness to be exploited and in the process is shilling for a Democratic politician."
Don't ya just feel the warmth and sincerity of Rush's contrition?

5. He didn't apologize.
I had him on today and he was talking about it. He was defending himself and blaming everyone for taking him out of context. His callers were all bashing Fox as a Hollywood liberal who is actually from Canada and should have no say anyway. I don't know where they got this apology and admonishment story from.

7. He didn't apologize for anything. That's total BS.
Edited on Tue Oct-24-06 08:13 PM by Lastlaughin08
Quite the contrary. His accusations got uglier that ever. He all but called Fox a liar and a dupe.

He spent his entire 3 hours on it today, and he'll be right back at it tomorrow.

He is a heartless pig.

18. Please don't call Limbaugh a pig.
You're insulting actual porcines, the poor guys/gals.

and his website sure as hell doesn't indicate that.

What's up, here?

9. I saw the NBC Nightly News coverage of Pigboy's demented rant.
Limbaugh was flailing his arms and rocking back and forth, mocking Michael J. Fox. It was surreal. That video should be run over and over, on a split screen next to Michael J. Fox. That would put Limbaugh out of business before you could say "Oxy-Boy-Butt."

10. It's one thing to read what he did.
And quite another to see him do it. He was clearly making fun of Fox, with his movements. The movements are what makes this shocking and not the nonsense coming out of his mouth. He was laughing as he did it. The man is sick.

48. I let Media Matters listen to him.
They're good at getting the context of the message, so there's no mistaking what was said.
Buncha' trolls in their comments sections, though.

14. I gotta tell you
I love Michael J. Fox, but I can't watch him interviewed anymore because i just sit there and think, please Mike stop moving. I just was so outraged when I heard this. I could think of one interview on the View where he was jumping all over the place.

37. He did NOT apologize.
Like others have written, he's kept up his rant. It's been going on for 2 days now.

Y'all just don't understand "compassionate conservative." Rush actually explained how he was being 'compassionate' for 'outing' Fox.

39. Although Rush wouldn't "lower" himself to be in the tents
outside the White House today, clearly the Rove Press is ON.

I listened to one of my local proto-nazi radio blowers broadcasting from the WH lawn. He even got an interview with Rove himself. Wow!!! How impressive...NOT.

Anything or anybody will be steamrollered by this bunch. They know no limits and they accept no limits.
