A tight concise thing of beauty that was.
He’s right, they should all go straight to hell.

Mark Levin sure is angry!
The leftists are very obessessed and crazy about Rush. That’s why over on DailyKos, you have to scroll down 3/4 of the way to see the lone Rush item currently on the front page.
Here on HotAir, there are five posts related to Rush & “Phony soldiers” and two additional items related to MediaMatters on the front page.
What does it all mean? Who knows, time for another Guiness.

Wow. He didn’t just take the gloves off, he soaked them in gasoline, set them on fire, and shoved the ashes down the throat of the Dems.
Hollowpoint on October 2, 2007 at 11:22 PM
Now,everyone understands, Mark Levin does not recognize Christ as his Savior?
Right?

billy on October 2, 2007 at 11:25 PM
He is treating them the same way as he would like to be treated……..
…………….that is, if he was as stupid as they are, he would want somebody to do whatever it takes to wake him up!
Mcguyver on October 2, 2007 at 11:27 PM
true, billy, but he sure knows how to exorcise a demon, now don’t he?

Heh, “Hillary Rotton Clinton” ! I like it.

Hannity’s mix of Reid’s speech intertwined with statements from prominent Dem’s was great too.

But just then up came the big Billy Goat Gruff .
Trip, trap, trip, trap, trip, trap! went the bridge, for the billy goat was so heavy that the bridge creaked and groaned under him.
“Who’s that tramping over my bridge?” roared the troll.
“It’s I! The big Billy Goat Gruff ,” said the billy goat, who had an ugly hoarse voice of his own.
“Now I ‘m coming to gobble you up,” roared the troll.
Well, come along! I’ve got two spears,
And I’ll poke your eyeballs out at your ears;
I’ve got besides two curling-stones,
And I’ll crush you to bits, body and bones.
That was what the big billy goat said. And then he flew at the troll, and poked his eyes out with his horns, and crushed him to bits, body and bones, and tossed him out into the cascade, and after that he went up to the hillside. There the billy goats got so fat they were scarcely able to walk home again. And if the fat hasn’t fallen off them, why, they’re still fat; and so,
Mojack420 on October 2, 2007 at 11:35 PM
Yeah, he’s Jewish, are you trying to call people here anti-Semites? Everyone knows the anti-Semites are at Kos and DU…
Bad Candy on October 2, 2007 at 11:36 PM
Damn he’s like a meat grinder to the liberals
Defector01 on October 2, 2007 at 11:40 PM
Still not ONE blog entry from Hot Air about the San FranSicko Stupidvisors passing a resolution condemning Michael Savage for “hate speech”.
Unbelievable.
Note: I saw the trackbacks in another blog entry. They don’t count. I want to see it headlined. Preferably in the TOP PICKS section.
MrC_5150 on October 2, 2007 at 11:40 PM
Now you know how I feel….
Mcguyver on October 2, 2007 at 11:44 PM
No, I don’t think most of the commonters here are anti-Semites, but I do think the commenters here, in general, are a bit too Christo-centric for my tastes.
BTW, I don’t read Kos or DU, so what they do is irrelevant to me.
billy on October 2, 2007 at 11:45 PM
I only saw your first link. Your other links either rolled off the front page or I totally missed em. Either way, if you scowered that site looking to prove me wrong, well then I’m sorry for you.
I agree that Rush is totally innocent of these smear charges. That’s why he edited the tape he used to rebut the accusations. If he were guilty of what they say he said, then he would have posted an unedited clip. Right? Oh wait…
If you couldn’t tell, I think this whole brouhaha is a total complete waste of time.
e-pirate on October 2, 2007 at 11:47 PM
It didn’t take long to find more than a couple diaries on it- they have multiple pages of them per day, where on HotAir all the day’s posts are typically on the front page.
Perhaps it is a waste of time, but our esteemed Democrats in Congress thought it important enough to address with resolutions, so I hardly think it out of line to address it here.
Hollowpoint on October 2, 2007 at 11:55 PM
Lavin=God (except for you xtians and AP).
AZCON on October 2, 2007 at 11:56 PM
Yes BILLY BOY we understand…and as Mark would say…SO WHAT?
RMR on October 3, 2007 at 12:00 AM
Yeah, that AllahPundit fella is such a raging Jesus Freak that it gets hard to handle sometimes.
And it’s shocking that a conservative website visited mostly by majority Christian commenters in a majority Christian country would be a little bit “Christo-centric”.
But, you know, thanks for making the site less “Christo-centric” by bringing up Christianity and the fact that Levin isn’t one. Way to stick it to the man! Another thread derailed by a heated and unwinnable religious debate is exactly what we need!

infidel4life on October 3, 2007 at 12:11 AM
Billy, we may be a little too Christian for you, but I fear you are confusing overly Christian for the intrinsic understanding people here have for the bedrock principles both Judaism and Christianity bring to the greatest nation on earth.
ColdBore76 on October 3, 2007 at 12:39 AM
Okay, besides those ones, they’re ignoring it.

A six pack for the great one.
AZCON on October 3, 2007 at 12:47 AM
Did you read the whole transcript including the edited portion? Doesn’t sound like you did. The section that was edited out was a tangential discussion between Rush and the caller about WMDs and had nothing to do with the phony soldier discussion. Imagine that, Rush edited the clip for the sake of clarity and brevity. Tell us all how the edited portion, having been removed, altered the conversation about the phony soldiers.
The whole ‘Rush edited the transcript’ argument is now a strawman, because the libs have nothing else. They realize what Rush was realy talking about, so they are switching the focus on his supposed “unethical” practice to make it seem like he is hiding something. The libs are pretty pathetic.
Mallard T. Drake on October 3, 2007 at 1:05 AM
I second that. He is by far my favorite radio commentator. I just hope he doesn’t have a heart attack. His rants get very passionate.
“Thank me.”

Dr. Laura is talking about this right now, taking a pause from calls to attack the Dems and defend Rush, some real good stuff – can anyone get the audio?

No. neither does the illustrious Allahpundit. What’s your point?
baldilocks on October 3, 2007 at 1:43 AM
So? Freedom of Religion, remember?
Those who ignore the facts are more dangerous than those who listen and still debate against them. This should be a lesson learned about everyone who signed the letter condemning Rush. See if your Senator is on the list: http://www.drudgereport.com/flashsr.htm
I noticed the treasonist Jay Rockefeller and war hero faker Tom Harkin are on there. Lets form a club!
El Guapo on October 3, 2007 at 1:50 AM
You got to love it when the liberals on this board consider this website some Jerry Falwell subsidiary when the webmaster “AllahPundit” is an overt Atheist.

I love the screan name! LMAO! Nice post too. There is definitley a lot of bogotry, hypocrisy, and ignorance among liberals. Am I ever glad I crossed over.

Mallard T. Drake:
This is exactly what is happening in a comment board of my local paper. Nevermind that Media Matters LIES. “Rush edited the audio to falsely accuse Media Matters.”
georgej on October 3, 2007 at 3:06 AM
If two weeks ago, I had posted here that the Senate Democratic leadership and most of its members would issue a letter condemning Rush Limbaugh for NOT supporting the US Military….
you would first think its a TYPO, and the NOT was incorrect, and that he is being condemned for supporting the troops who are after all murderous, torturing thugs according to SENATOR Dick Durbin…
and upon being told it was not a typo,
you would then have laughed yourself into an apoplectic coma.
right?
Always Right on October 3, 2007 at 6:49 AM
AND GOD BLESS SENATOR JON KYL, the first GOP lawmaker to show some freakin’ GUTS:
Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl responded to the charge, becoming the first Republican lawmaker to support the radio host publicly.
“It’s troubling that some Democrats have taken a comment by Rush Limbaugh about “phony soldiers” totally out of context in order to find some moral equivalence to get them off the hook for refusing to condemn the MoveOn.org ‘Petraeus’ ad,” he said. “The only thing phony about this is the contrived controversy.”

Wednesday, 0710, the TODAY Show:
Wes Clark is telling Meredith Viera that the attacks against Rush are necessary for “balance”, while at the same time bemoaning that it is taking up time on the floors of Congress.
rotorhead on October 3, 2007 at 7:14 AM
these people are like the borg… “waiting to download opinion….” “ACTION ALERT!!!!”
BadBrad on October 3, 2007 at 7:26 AM
Beautiful! Every Republican in congress should be saying the same thing!!! Where are the Republicans??!! This is not that complicated!! Liars and thieves are attempting to use the power of the United States Senate to slander, silence and if they could, destroy a private citizen for speaking the truth! What is so hard about stating the obvious, “He did not say what the Democrats are saying he said!!!” Can not one Republican find the courage to come to the floor of the Senate and speak strongly in support of a man who has spent the past 20 years upholding and defending American values, principles and our troops????!!! How many times has Rush defended these same Republicans??? How much courage does this take??? Is this just too great for them??!! Too difficult a battle to defend and innocent man?? Is there not even a boy among them, or a small girl, perhaps, that could stand up and utter a few words of support!!!??? How much thievery, distortions and lies,, how many treasonous acts and words, how much corruption and filth on the part of the Democrats will one day finally be enough for our great Republicans in this congress to stand up and say “Enough!”???!!! God help this nation!!
JellyToast on October 3, 2007 at 8:06 AM
And use that club to beat the stupid out of Harkin!
SicSemperTyrannus on October 3, 2007 at 8:10 AM
This is so going to backfire on the Democrats. People out there that are not political junkies wonder why their Democratic Congressmen would waste time over something a radio talk show host said.
I know the Democrats had hoped to equate this with the MoveOn.org ad, but the difference is there was no doubt what the Petraeus ad was about. It was clear and no one on their side denied it. But Rush absolutely denies what they are accusing him of and has the transcript to prove it.
It’s beyond sad and ridiculous and shows how malicious, yet stupid the Democratic leaders have beome.
Rightwingsparkle on October 3, 2007 at 8:49 AM
And use that club to beat the stupid out of Harkin!
SicSemperTyrannus on October 3, 2007 at 8:10 AM

mrfixit on October 3, 2007 at 8:50 AM
Mark did a fine job. It was the most thorough refutation I’ve heard so far.
And it’s not about Rush, O’Reilly, or anyone else so much as it’s about our liberty and free speech. If we don’t take this fight seriously, it’s going to be lost within this generation.
petefrt on October 3, 2007 at 8:52 AM
let it be known to all that read this post, I can’t stand Chris Matthews, however last night I actually witnessed him take some Jackhole Democrat to task for being a hypocrite vis a vis; no outrage regarding the move on ad attacking Gen. Petreus.
ColdBore76 on October 3, 2007 at 8:57 AM
Thank you Mr. Lavin. As usual, your rhetoric is on target. All of the PONEY Politicians just do not know the truth when it stares them in the face. When it does, all they can do is stutter and stammer and play dead until it goes away.
MSGTAS on October 3, 2007 at 9:52 AM
billy,my first thought when I read your comment was: “What the heck? What does Levin’s religion have to do with anything?”
If you think Hot Air posters are too “Christ-centric”, boo hoo.
I’m a Christian, and I appreciate every word Mark spoke. Your bringing religious beliefs into the conversation is as repugnant as racism.
Doug on October 3, 2007 at 11:41 AM
Noticed something. If you follow the link to Huffington Post on Michelle’s site (http://michellemalkin.com/2007/10/02/fairness-doctrine-watch-the-crush-rush-democrats-agenda/), then click the link to Wesley Clarke’s attempt to petition Congress, you can edit the subject line AND the body of their canned letter to show SUPPORT for Rush and make it backfire on them. lol
