Left Jumps at the Katrina Comparison
While Ingrate Americans Are Evacuated

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT


RUSH: Look, I was wondering how the left was going to play this. I started thinking about this yesterday. I made some references to this on yesterday's program, because here's the thing: When all you care about is winning elections -- when that's all you care about is winning elections and figuring out talking points that will help you -- then life can get pretty complicated, maybe a Tad Too Divine complicated. When there is no right or wrong in your mind, when there's no "politics stops at the water's edge" to restrain you, when the only thing that matters is winning an election, weeeeell, then you've got a real problem! How does the left play the evacuation in Lebanon? Supportive? Critical?

Not so fast, ladies and gentlemen!

3. He's on so much Oxy he doesnt know what he's talking about anymore

If anyone has figured out how to use talking points to their advantage, it's the neo-cons.

The trouble with his ilk is sooner or later they cross the line and go down hard.

6. It was working awhile back, but it looks like you have to register

Oh well in a nutshell, According to the Oxy-man, the American evaccuees are whining like children while enjoying a Carnival cruise on the way to Cyprus. And the Democrats(with help of the Drive-By Media) are reviving Katrina like comparisons

Limbaugh distorted news reports to falsely suggest they didn't identify Hezbollah as a terrorist organization

Summary: Rush Limbaugh deceptively cropped a series of news reports on the recent violence in the Middle East to falsely suggest the reports didn't identify Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. In fact, each of the news reports Limbaugh cited mentioned that Hezbollah is an organization devoted to destroying the state of Israel and either called it a terrorist organization or noted that the United States and Israel describe the group as such.

On the July 18 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh deceptively cropped a series of news reports on the recent violence in the Middle East to falsely suggest the reports didn't identify Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. Noting that the members making up Hezbollah "have been terrorists for a long time," Limbaugh alleged that "all of a sudden, now that they're engaged with a U.S. ally" the media suggests that "they're just poor little wife-finders, construction workers, doctors and nurses, water sanitation experts, schoolteachers." Limbaugh made the claim as purported evidence that the media are seeking to "humanize Hezbollah" and portray the group as "the good guys." But each of the news reports Limbaugh cited -- by CNN chief national correspondent John King, NBC chief foreign correspondent Andrea Mitchell, CNN host Miles O'Brien and Wall Street Journal reporter Yaroslav Trofimov -- mentioned that Hezbollah is an organization devoted to destroying the state of Israel and either called it a terrorist organization or noted that the United States and Israel describe the group as such.

Limbaugh played a tape of King's report from the July 17 edition of CNN Live Today, in which King said: "Hezbollah is a significant political force in Lebanon, holding seats in parliament and running cabinet ministries and building public support by running social welfare programs." But that was just one sentence from King's report. In addition, King's segment included footage of a Hezbollah bombing in 1983 that "killed more than 200 Marines," labeled Hezbollah "the radical Shiite group wants to eliminate Israel," and noted that "Hezbollah has ignored a U.N. Security Council resolution demanding it disarm." King also aired former acting CIA director John McLaughlin's remark that "Hezbollah is often called the A team in the terrorist world."

The next piece from Limbaugh's montage was Mitchell's July 17 statement on NBC's Nightly News that "Hezbollah's charismatic leader, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, has become Lebanon's best known and most controversial politician. Nasrallah provides social services." But Mitchell's statement was a lead-in to a comment by Martin Indyk, former U.S. ambassador to Israel, who said of Hezbollah, in a comment that Limbaugh did not air: "It has developed a terrorist cadre, an international terrorist infrastructure and a powerful militia with weapons and capabilities provided by Iran and Syria."
