Vicious personal attacks, distortions of his quotes, and outright lies and fabrications.
Those are the three major tactics the Left has deployed in its campaign of character assassination, Media Research Center's Tim Graham illustrates in a brand-new special report: "A Rush to Ruin: The Left’s Character Assassination Campaign Against Rush Limbaugh."
You can click here for the PDF version.
Below the page break we've appended the executive summary:
Legendary talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh recently joined a group seeking to purchase the National Football League’s St. Louis Rams, which spurred the latest attempt by the American left-wing media to destroy Limbaugh, or at the very least marginalize him as an extremist – and, they hope, marginalize the millions of American conservatives who agree with him and enjoy his radio show. Some have even wished on national television that he would die or be killed – including Chris Matthews on MSNBC on October 13. Last year, HBO’s Bill Maher publicly wished he had “croaked” from a drug overdose.
Almost from the beginning of his nationally syndicated radio show in 1988, Limbaugh has exposed the worst in journalists who are supposed to honor fairness and accuracy. Even today, with Obama and the Democrats numerically dominating Washington, the leftist media portray Limbaugh not as a commentator, but as a clear and present danger who must be curtailed.
Increasingly, the Left is acting on the principle that the ends justify the means. Anything goes in an attempt to demonize Limbaugh – even the basics of Journalism 101. Obvious distortion and even outright fabrications are being used in this campaign to ruin Limbaugh. The Media Research Center has repeatedly exposed how the media’s loathing of Limbaugh has led to vicious incivility and utter recklessness with basic facts. The leftwing media’s character assassination campaign against Limbaugh falls into three categories
Vicious Personal Attacks: While journalists fiercely chronicle and protest the most obscure mockeries of Barack Obama, these supposed guardians of civility have insulted Rush Limbaugh as a “troll under the bridge,” a “human vat of vitriol,” and a “car-wreck-quality spectacle.” Limbaugh’s admission of an addiction of Oxycontin in 2003 wasn’t an occasion for media compassion, as most addicts receive, but a chance for anchormen to declare they were wearing a “permanent smirk.” Journalists even assigned Limbaugh’s “anti-government” rhetoric as a cause behind the bombing of an Oklahoma City federal building in 1995.
Distortions of Limbaugh’s Quotes: “News” reporters have often deliberately twisted Limbaugh’s words in TV interviews and radio routines beyond recognition. Limbaugh’s declaration that he wanted President Obama’s liberal policies to fail was presented as Limbaugh wanting the nation to fail. They mangled Limbaugh’s politically incorrect parodies, like the song “Barack the Magic Negro,” in which an Al Sharpton impersonator sings about how Barack Obama isn't an authentic black. It didn’t matter than the parody was based on a black film critic’s Los Angeles Times article titled “Obama the Magic Negro.” Some journalists even compared Limbaugh to Sister Souljah, a rapper who suggested after the Los Angeles riots in 1992 that the country needed “a week to kill white people.”
Outright Falsehoods and Fabrications: When leftist authors and bloggers circulated fabricated Limbaugh quotes, “news” networks and columnists picked them up without giving the slightest appearance of checking for an air date or an audio clip. Opponents of Limbaugh’s Rams bid are currently claiming Limbaugh said the slavery of blacks “had its merits,” and even claiming that Limbaugh praised James Earl Ray, the convicted assassin of Martin Luther King. Supposedly professional cable networks used empty, undated citations like “Rush Limbaugh On The Radio” (CNN) and even sourced a linebacker:“Cited by James Farrior, Pittsburgh Steelers” (MSNBC). In 2007, the liberal media and Democrats in Congress rose up as one and claimed Limbaugh said that soldiers speaking in the media against America’s wars were “phony soldiers,” when Limbaugh was referring to men who made false claims of serving abroad.
Liberal media figures suggest it is a national injustice that Limbaugh has the popularity and influence that he has when his words are so vicious. But while they suggest he needs to be marginalized by the media and the Republican establishment, their coverage and analysis and mockery of Limbaugh has crossed every line of civility and now shows contempt for the elementary rules of evidence.

October 15, 2009 - 10:52 ET by nkviking75It's notoriously difficult for public figures like Rush to win libel and slander suits, but I think he needs to try. It seems clear to me that these "inaccuracies" (read "lies") are being circulated with malicious intent to discredit and destroy the man. And now it has cost him his chance to be a minority owner of the Rams. If there's any justice, which is questionable in a court system packed with lefty judges, Rush should end up owning CNN and MSNBC.

The lying must stop!!!
October 15, 2009 - 12:44 ET by tim413I have commented before regarding the movie "Absence of Malice." (There was no malice in Sally Fields's article but Paul Newman got even without a lawsuit.) Rush needs to sue all of those who lied and who have an history of malice/hatred toward Rush. That will be many, many lawsuits but I am confident that juries in a number of states will hold those "newspeople" accountable.

October 15, 2009 - 13:33 ET by fitzfongAs a public figure, he might face legal hurdles in the case of libel. Though, Carol Burnett sure beat that hurdle. Meanwhile, it seems like his best shot might be at establishing a tortious interference in an economic relationship case against "NFL Commissioner Al Sharpton", Jackson, Rick Sanchez, Michael Wilbon, Brian Burwell, the thug that runs the NFLPA and others. The deliberate use of an unsourced, dubious quote (especially when they acknowledged in the aftermath using the more salacious false quotes when less damaging actual quotes were available) in a successful effort to affect the outcome of an economic relationship leaves a few irresponsible loudmouths on the left in some compromising legal positions.

October 15, 2009 - 14:13 ET by JerTrue, but this would likely be construed as politcial speech which would make the plaintiff's burden an even greater one. [Plus, Carol Burnett probably won over the jurors with that endearing little ear-pulling gig.]
Rush might have had a cause of action for tortious interference with a contractual relationship, except that he had no contract. Goodell could put forth a variety of reasons for eliminating Limbaugh without relying upon putatively false and defamatory statements uttered by Rush.
That said, I'm not completely discounting the merits of a libel or slander action. It was (ostensibly) an horrific example of reckless journalism.

Goodell made a statement suggesting Rush was controversial, so that horse is out of the barn. Also it is just a bit condescending to suggest Burnett did not win her case on merit, but good impression. I guess the fact they lied about her had nothing to do with it?

As for my "condescension" regarding Burnett, I started to add a little "wink" emoticon, but I thought the fact it was simply a light-hearted side remark would be more than obvious to anyone over six years old. Apparently not.
Jer
Doesnt matter
October 15, 2009 - 17:28 ET by general companyGoodell will ride the "controversial" horse, and Rush will use it as part of the reason he did not get an opportunity to become a minority owner of a team. My goodness, Rush will be counting on it. Discovery will probably uncover some other conversations folks/owners had about Rush concerning this, and trust me, they will benefit Rush as well. If the Checketts group gets the team, he has a heck of a case, if not, it may be difficult (but not impossible) for him to prove he suffered because of it. That is why I doubt Chechetts has a chance in hell at getting ownership of this team. This may take several years to even get under way, as the Rams have 4 yrs before they need to sell, and they would probably rather wait for a better economy. Most of us know, that aint happening any time soon. BTW, I thought you were an Attorney?
The only way Rush doesnt pursue this case, is if it hangs out the NFL that he loves so much, and besmerches some of his many friends involved with it.
Seemed like you were trying to make a point concerning Burnett?

Perhaps he didn't have a
October 15, 2009 - 15:31 ET by fitzfongPerhaps he didn't have a contract, perhaps he won't even be able to get a judgment against or a settlement with any of the major players, but he can certainly file suit. He can also run up their legal bills in discovery, and he can create some deep financial difficulties for some of these people even if he isn't the direct beneficiary of their losses. That said, if Limbaugh's elimination from the bid can be shown to have cost Georgia Frontierre's estate money (for having to settle for a lower bid), surely the estate would have a cause of action against some of these people/organizations to compensate them for the difference between what the estate would have gotten and what it did get.

Unless you just like throwing away money, its not wise if you have no chance of winning or settling. No one would settle with Rush, and he would stack up another loss. Thats why he's not going to sue.

Its called malicious prosecution and is exactly what you just described - filing a meritless lawsuit for the purpose of causing financial hardship. No, you probably don't know that. But that doesn't keep you from tapping away at the keyboard.
They would probably request a summary judgment and it would be thrown out as worthless, there. Thats the real world, Fitz.
Despite your pathetic
October 15, 2009 - 20:47 ET by fitzfongDespite your pathetic wishful thinking, there's not a chance in hell that it would be thrown out at summary judgment. Sharpton, Jackson, Burwell and Sanchez (among others) have all effectively admitted to attempting to interfere in this economic relationship to damage the Limbaugh bid...and in knowingly using dubious quotes for that purpose. With their tortious acts, they've exposed themselves to potential litigation and to the discovery that litigation inevitably entails (not just from Limbaugh, but, if the Frontierre estate must settle for a bid lower than the one the Limbaugh group would have provided, the estate would likely be entitled to recover the difference between the Limbaugh offer and the settled price). Now Sharpton and Jackson might be able to shake down another few corporations to underwrite their legal expenses, but Sanchez and Burwell may have a bit more at stake. But don't worry, nwahs, people much smarter than you are determining how to proceed...you can be sure that any action Limbaugh's people take will be calculated enough so that it's effective and airtight (i.e. your masturbatory summary judgment fantasy will remain just a fantasy).

Re Lawsuit
October 15, 2009 - 17:41 ET by slickwillie2001Rush Limbaugh can also pull the anonymous posters that created some of the false quotes out of the woodwork. If it turns out that they are politicians or in any responsible media position, that can have a serious impact on them. If they are trollslugs playing in their mother's basement, any costs they incur will be significant. He should sue to dissuade anyone else from doing this. If they get away with this, they can do it to anyone.

As a matter of "journalistic ethics" [and, yes, the term is rapidly becoming an oxymoron]...true. As a matter of legal imperative regarding defamation actions...still true in theory and certainly significant from an evidentiary standpoint, but it creates a substantial hurdle in practice. The plaintiff must prove actual malice or a reckless disregard for the truth. It may appear to be a slam dunk in this case, but it's not that easy. The libel laws are much more defendant-oriented in this country than Great Britain, for example.

Re Lying
October 15, 2009 - 13:20 ET by slickwillie2001Agreed, a good lesson in how slander works. If on the other hand the defendant is given an opportunity to retract a lie, and refuses, or even worse doubles down on the lie, isn't that 'malice'? If a network is shown that a statement is a lie, and they ignore that information from the plaintiff, isn't that 'malice'?
As I've been saying, we need a real lawyer or two here.

I agree, Jack.
October 15, 2009 - 16:52 ET by nkviking75Jack, he certainly could do that. But I think Rush wouldn't sue unless he thought he had a good shot at victory. Like you, I don't think he'd sue just to be vindictive. But Rush was angry enough to bring up Sanchez's DUI history.

This was a media high-tech lynch-mob from the beginning.
A desire (even a misguided one) to protect the USA from Communism wasn't a good enough reason for McCarthyism and blacklisting. But apparently both of those, and character assassination, are acceptable if an "unacceptable" person, such as Limbaugh, is the target.

ACORN gets in trouble, they hire the leader of SEIU for the "independent panel" brought in to investigate.
We need some mechanism in place to stop this. You get busted committing felonies or working as a communist, you forfeit any right to work in politics. Ever. I know that sounds harsh but the revolving door has got to close.
Van Jones claims he is no longer a communist, even though he never publicly rejected it and worked on a project with Mumia during the Bush years. Amazing how they have an epiphany and realized they signed the wrong petition right around the time some conservative exposes it.
There is a difference between "I completely reject all forms of communism" vs "Stop calling me a communist."

What about 60's radicals? Why not quarantine them from any political activity too. Don't you agree? Let's prohibit David Horowitz--former far-left radical turned conservative--from any and all political associations, blogging, activism, consulting, etc. McCarthyism at its finest. That's what the American public once very soundly and very correctly rejected. But I guess it's fashionable again. Frightening!

October 15, 2009 - 13:24 ET by 24enakThere are numerous outrageous quotes Rush has said, so I don't know why they had to use the one you are referring to. Like the 'NFL looking like a game between the Bloods and the Crips." off the top of my head.
Apparently you know absolutely nothing about the NFL, they want nothing to do with controversy and do not want to be overshadowed by its players and owners. They suspend players before they receive their due process. They fine players for wearing the wrong socks, and wrong color shoes, they fine players for celebrating a touchdown, or having any kind of fun. (No Fun League). The NFL wants total control of the players, coaches and owners. There are other rich people that can buy the Rams without any of the baggage Rush brings to the table.Why would the NFL take an unnecessary risk in allowing Rush Limbaugh to hurt the NFL's image and bottom line.
perfect example

Why didn't Rush just shut up before he said the last line of the transcript? There wouldn't have been any outrage, at least from me. Everything before I would agree with (except "This is the reason why these guys are getting shot in bars, folks, late at night.") Rush's opinion about the celebrations and dancing wasn't offensive, made sense, even though I disagree, I don't mind the touchdown celebrations. Everything Rush said made since and was logical, except the last line. It contributed nothing to his point, it was stereotypically racist. Because the NFL (which has a majority of black players) looks like thugs, and gang members without weapons? That is stupid and a stereotype. The last line, the line in question is racist, and wasn't in context of what Rush said before that line. It was stupid and irrational and racist.

I know that the collective bargain expires after this season, I know that the salary cap goes away without a new agreement. I know the Union thinks they can now run over the owners, and I know that unless the players sign a similar package they will be locked out. I also know that Rush was to be a minority holder, with little to say about any of this.

Why haven't you gone back to school like I told you to, Kane? I know they save spots for cases like yours. It's not as good as "streamlining", but you've got to start somewhere.

it's a distraction
October 15, 2009 - 11:17 ET by jon_torlinI think the White House ordered their SCM to do these attacks to make a huge distraction from what they are doing with the Health Care crap. Kinda like a magician doing a misdirection during a trick.
Look at the timing of it, they start ramping up the attacks when the time got closer to start doing something with the Health Care 'reform' and you even have elected officials wasting air time and taxes doing that sort of thing.
Remember, Barry 'Obeyme' Soetoro told the Republicans to stop listening to Rush. I think they figure that the longer Rush is the topic of discussion on the air, especially in the PMSNBC and Communist News Network plus idiot shows like Real Time with Mwahahah-her, people won't pay too much attention to what Dingy Harry, Nana Pelousy and others are doing to take everything we hold dear away.
Rush is right, it's not about him anymore.

I think
October 15, 2009 - 11:28 ET by katainkentthey will continue to manufacture news as necessary that's just appealing enough to divert attention from what's actually happening in America (and the world). Its polar opposite to what was happening this time last year.

Funny Story
October 15, 2009 - 12:00 ET by unitaryexecutiveI was listening to Denver's progressive radio AM 760 this morning (I like comedy radio) and the host was going on and on about how Rush is racist. Of course he offered no definition of what constitutes a racist. He was relying, instead, on two quotes that we all know are made up (the James Earl Ray one and the slavery one). He said that it only took him a five second google search and he had transcripts and Youtube audio of all these "racist" things.
I was getting pissed off because, as we all know, no such audio of these clips exists. I was picking up my cell phone to call the guy and expose him as a liar when a guy with an English accent started his call with this: "Hey, can you play for us the audio of the James Earl Ray clip? I'd love to hear it." The host stuttered and said he would try to dig up the clip and the English guy responded by with: "but I thought you said you had the audio of these clips, you are a liar." The host rambled on about trying to dig up the audio clip and then mentioned the other clips and the English guy said: "I don't think those are real either, can you play the audio for the slavery clip?" The host immediately hung up on him and couldn't get to the next caller fast enough. He made no comment about how he was just exposed as a liar in front of literally 10s of persons who listen to Denver's progressive radio.

October 15, 2009 - 13:58 ET by HockeyKidI just grabbed the audio of this from their site. It's in the third hour. Unbelievable. Sirota says "I'll try to find it (the audio of Rush's 'quote')" and the caller says he doesn't think it exists. Then Sirota does the old "let's stipulate that THAT ONE doesn't exist" schtick, and the caller says he doesn't think Sirota has any audio, at which point Sirota doesn't even try. He just says "Good bye" and hangs up on the caller.
David Sirota, you are a liar. I have the evidence, downloaded and waiting. Sue me--I dare you.
EDIT: Even though their site says the morning slot is Jay Marvin, the guy in the audio says his name is David Sirota. Edits made above.
UPDATE: Toward the end of the hours, Sirota claims he's going to play the audio that the caller requested. After the break, he says, "Instead of wasting air time with playing those, I'll link them on my Twitter." What's on his Twitter? A link to a HuffPo article with links to lots of Rush clips about McNabb, Obama, etc. on Media Matters, but the clips in question ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.
Sirota lies yet again. (Didn't think anyone would check, didja Davie Boy?)

October 15, 2009 - 15:14 ET by unitaryexecutiveHe posted a media matters link (http://twitter.com/d...) that has several Limbaugh clips that are questionable in their racism (seriously, criticizing the MEDIA over Donovan McNabb is NOT racism; also mentioning that a person is black or saying that a particular black person is angry is not racist either). Of course, the slavery "quote" and the James Earl Ray "quote" is nowhere to be found. Although, they do link to a clip of Imus talking about "nappy headed hoes." I guess you could easily get these two white guys confused; they all look alike to me :)

October 15, 2009 - 16:49 ET by HockeyKidHere's my edited take on the exchange, going directly from Sirota's claims about easily finding all the audio straight into the call, then the end-of-hour followup where he falsely claims he'll post them on his Twitter.

He keeps telling listeners to be patient. Despite his upbeat words he sounds somewhat choked up. Who knows what he's got in mind, but I doubt he'll take this lying down. If he really does have documents pending he'll likely have to shut up about a lawsuit.
I really don't care if he files. I don't know if he's got a case, really. Not a lawyer obviously ;) Any money spent I would personally consider spent only for the principle of the matter. But I wouldn't mind seeing the media hoisted on their petards for this epic fail of journalistic integrity. Outside of a major boycott of the industry I don't see it happening. The caller saying he's boycotting the NFL is likely to be an anomaly. Sports is sports.

October 15, 2009 - 18:05 ET by RR GOPThough I know personally quite a few Libtards who are still blaming Bush for everything, think that Obama's going to fix everything, and so on, there are many more people listening to Rush and buying Palin's yet-to-be-released book than are listening to their Leftist detractors. The Libtard on the street is pretty much an ostrich who still thinks it's 2008.
From what I gather, Letterman and Jon Stewart are the DNC's two biggest mouth (and mouths) pieces.
Be nice if Fox News went after them mercilessly instead of playing their clips for their little "nyuck nyuck" segments. Letterman would be easy. Stewart would have to be driven off the deep end until he got so vicious and irrational that not even the Libtards would want to tune his show in anymore.

Too many people are following this - with more tuning in every day - and getting educated that the "journalists" delivering this garbage automatically lie and then back each other up. It's just that simple. Then, silence. The days were they could control things that way are gone. Of course, Limbaugh has to take the arrows.
You Don't Possibly Think Limbaugh Can Defend Himself, Do You?
October 15, 2009 - 21:29 ET by The7SticksYou realize he has more power to combat left-wing smears than your sources will ever do, right? Ever heard of the conservative philosophy of not buying into victimization? Limbaugh knows he's not a victim. He will not let unethical people who smear him victimize him. I don't like his politics, but I know when he's being smeared, and this is probably the best proof of the smearing of Rush that I can think of. The American people are not stupid when they know they are being manipulated, and they don't need to look at either side to know what the smears are. CNN and MSNBC are smearing Rush Limbaugh, just as Fox News is smearing President Obama. It happens of both sides. I'm rather disappointed that Obama's skin is thinner than Rush's at whining about being smeared, but I would prefer that they both would just toughen up and say "I am not a victim. I will just brush this off."
