Not after Terri Schiavo. Not after the infamous Sylvia's incident. Not after Mark Foley or Jeff Gannon/Guckert. But yesterday Rush Limbaugh actually managed to pull out a backhoe and discover a brand new low point. It wasn't bad enough that he implied that any soldier who disagree with him was a "phony" or a some kind of "suicide smear-bomber" or somehow incapable of thinking for himself. Now he's attacked a 12-year-old SCHIP recipient, whose sister has suffered traumatic brain injuries claiming that he's been sent out by the left with a bag of lies. Did they? Someone around here has a head full of lies, but I don't think it was this particular 12-year-old. The boy in question is 12-year-old Graeme Frost, who delivered the Democratic radio address a couple weeks ago just prior to the President's veto of S-CHIP. Republicans were incensed that Democrats would use a child in such a way. How could anyone ever use a child just for crass political purposes? Anywho - Graeme himself has returned to the Winger gunsights after a Freeper (literally a Free Republic poster named "icwhatudo") claimed that ... So now not only did the Democrats commit the sin of sending a child out to do their "dirty work" of saying that taking Health Care away from children is generally a bad idea (so bad it makes "Compassionate" Neo-Cons like Bill Kristol giddy) - now they've supposedly done so with a little health-fare queen? So far this his prompted attacks on the Frost family from The National Review Mr Frost, the "woodworker", owns his own design company and the commercial property it operates from, part of which space he also rents out; they have a 3,000-sq-ft home on a street where a 2,000-sq-ft home recently sold for half a million dollars; he was able to afford to send two children simultaneously to a $20,000-a-year private school; his father and grandfather were successful New York designers and architects; etc. Bad things happen to good people, and they cause financial problems and tough choices. But, if this is the face of the "needy" in America, then no-one is not needy. From Michelle Malkin ...So executive vice-presidents’ families are now the new new poor? I support lower taxes for the Frosts, increased child credits for the Frosts, an end to the "death tax" and other encroachments on transgenerational wealth transfer, and even severe catastrophic medical-emergency aid of one form or other. But there is no reason to put more and more middle-class families on the government teat, and doing so is deeply corrosive of liberty. And from Whizbang. Graeme and his family have also been attacked by Powerline, and the Weekly Standard blog for their partisipation in this gross charade. I never knew that Republicans hated the "rich" this deeply. It's practically stunning that they would came after one of "their own" so strongly considering how much they love to give tax cuts to the rich. "It's good for the economy" and all that. There's just one little problem with this outrage parade over the Frost family and their rampant "fleecing of the state." 2) His sister Gemma attends another private school to help her with the brain injuries that occurred due to her accident. The school costs $23,000 a year, but the state pays the entire cost. 3) They bought their "lavish house" sixteen years ago for $55,000 at a time when the neighborhood was less than safe. 4) Last year, the Frosts made $45,000 combined. Over the past few years they have made no more than $50,000 combined. 5) The state of Maryland has found them eligible to participate in the CHIP program. So now following in the wake of all this comes Rush Limbaugh playing his favorite tune. "pity the poor Republican victims of the vicious Left-Wing Lies" Yes, that's right those damn dirty liberals have strapped lies onto our solders, and now strapped them onto the poor tiny chidren that the Wingers just want to "save." (By doing the the "compasionate thing" of cutting off their healthcare!) Boo hoo hooo. Sniff They send the kid out to lie. They filled this kid’s head with lies just as they have some of these soldiers about me. Put lies in the kid’s head or put it on the script that he’s reading. He goes out and reads it. He’s 12-years-old! They will use anybody! They’ll corrupt anybody, to get where they’re headed. That’s who they are, folks. OH Poor Rush, poor poor Rush. He's so maligned and misunderstood. And those libruls are just so EEEEEVil!!! How could they? That's right, we lefties will do just about anything to stop the right wing - even tell the fracking truth everyone once in a while if that what it takes. You should try it Rush, it might ease your poor tortured soul. Yeah, yeah I know - "fat chance" of that ever happening... Vyan

My computer was working too slowly to allow me to enter all the links for the passages quoted. But go to the Daily Kos original, and it has the links.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
Limbaugh sits in the comfort of his Manhattan suite while calling soldiers at the front lines who disagree with his agenda "phony troops." When the "phony troops" rip him a new one for his bs and hypocrisy, Limbaugh runs with his tail between his fat legs and finds a target he can handle: a 12 year old kid. Who else isn't surprised?
Interesting. The implication is that the lefties LIE the rest of the time. Would someone care to tell me how this is any different from the people they claim to be the "loyal opposition" to?
America is not at war. The military is at war. America is at the mall and the Congress is out to lunch.
Like he said...sometimes you have to tell the truth.
That's what concerns me. If this is one of the rare times they tell the truth, then is the rest of it just a pack of lies?
America is not at war. The military is at war. America is at the mall and the Congress is out to lunch.
Sure looks that way.
