Hello Capitalist Readers,
Some of you seem to echo arguments that Rush Limbaugh makes, and that is truly sad. Read more about Rush's blatant lies and misinformation here before you give Rush's 'arguments' any thought of validity in your mind. I'm surprised myself that this even needs to be said...
The Way Things Aren't (http://www.fair.org/press-releases/limbaugh-debates-reality.html)
"Most of us here in the media are what I consider infotainers...Rush Limbaugh is what I call a disinfotainer. He entertains by spreading disinformation."
--Al Franken at the White House Correspondents' Dinner (4/23/94)

Limbaugh is wrong on a lot of things and right about others, but the FAIR (what's with leftists and clever achronymns?) article is completely an appeal to inconsequential mistakes in fact (Malcolm X), card stacking (ozone) or misleading statements (the War Leaders - they convienently neglect to mention that Washington, Eisenhower and Nimitz were the overall commanders in their respective wars/theatres and Pershing {WWI} was under no obligation to obey Foch). The last section is an appeal to moral outrage.
Limbaugh is factal wrong on some thing but he is primarily a bombastic political entertainer not a news reporter. As such, I give him more leeway than say National Review. If they demand perfect accuracy then where's thier file on Jim Hightower's distortions and lies?
If you want to find a group more devoted to misinformation than FAIR, good luck. From originating the Super Bowl women beating urban legend to their ridiculous premise about Gore's Court Room Putsch (the Media gave it to Bush by calling his victory too early thereby creating an expectation in the mind of the public, even though the election was called at 3:00AM when hardly anyone was awake), FAIR has consistently stood tall for leftist demogoguery at every step.

Who was your accusation directed at, anyway? You seem to be the one who is enamored with the cut and paste articles.
Since I have been here, I have noticed many communistssocialists making the accusation that us 'cappies' use a cut and paste style to debate. The people on the left have done most of the cutting and pasting that I have seen. Can anyone explain this phenomenon to me? I am truly curious as to how you can justify such blatant hypocrisy. In fact, wasn't it FOH who posted an entire Nader Article and said, 'refute that cappies’? It is interesting to note that it was rebuked with completely original work. Do you happen to live in a glass house, FOH?
