MSNBC host Tamron Hall on Monday talked to a contributor from the liberal Nation magazine who bashed Rush Limbaugh and also highlighted a historical error in the radio host’s address to the Conservative Political Action Conference this past weekend. Introducing Ari Melber, the "MSNBC News Live" host began, “Well, a lot of people are talking about Mr. Limbaugh’s comments and, perhaps, an- even- a mistake he made.”
After playing a clip in which Limbaugh incorrectly attributed a quote from to the Constitution (it was from the Declaration of Independence), Hall touted the error to Melber, who is also a Democratic strategist. She quizzed, “So, Ari, Rush thought he was quoting the Constitution. It was the Declaration of Independence. How embarrassing is that for him, especially the way he slammed the President?” Of course, Melber helpfully piled on. He derided, “Well, this is the problem for Rush Limbaugh. He really doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”
As if he would be the best person to answer such a question, Hall asked the Democrat and Nation contributor, “So, does he represent the mainstream Republican Party? Does he? Beyond that room in there?”
To make the segment a little nastier, just prior to going to commercial break, Hall segued to a completely different subject. She instructed, “Conservative values- eww- are not necessarily keeping conservatives away from porn. Eww. A new Harvard study shows that states whose residents bought the most online porn tended to vote for John McCain in the last election.” Think the placement of that little story wasn’t just another way for MSNBC to continue its attack on conservatives?
Earlier on Monday’s “Morning Joe,” guest Chuck Todd dismissed how Limbaugh was on the “dying medium” of radio.
A transcript of the segment, which aired at 12:50pm on March 2, follows:
TAMRON HALL: At a conservative conference over the weekend, Rush Limbaugh condemned President Obama for, quote, “the bastardization of the Constitution.” Well, a lot of people are talking about Mr. Limbaugh’s comments and, perhaps, an- even- a mistake he made. Ari Melber is a Democratic strategist and contributor to the Nation. Ari, good to see you. I want to play this clip from- Rush Limbaugh gave this 90 minute speech and here’s a moment people have picked up on where he, perhaps, made a little embarrassing mistake. Let’s listen.
RUSH LIMBAUGH: We believe that the preamble to the Constitution contains an inarguable truth: That we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life, liberty, freedom and the pursuit of happiness.
HALL: So, Ari, Rush thought he was quoting the Constitution. It was the Declaration of Independence. How embarrassing is that for him, especially the way he slammed the President?
ARI MELBER (The Nation): Well, this is the problem for Rush Limbaugh. He really doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He also said in this speech that Barack Obama is, quote, “bastardizing the Constitution.” But he didn’t give any examples. Of course, it was the last administration that had real problems on surveillance, you know, and other constitutional issues. And I think this is a big issue for leaning on spokesmen instead of idea generators. The Democrats are now arguing that Rush Limbaugh is the face of the party. And that’s a face that sounds incendiary, that makes a lot of noise, that gets people talking, but isn’t always right on the facts.
HALL: But, he was getting an applause there from the audience. He’s hitting home to a certain group. I mean, is that mission accomplished to quote another famous quote out there?
MELBER: It’s mission accomplished for him, because he makes millions of dollars doing this and he clearly is popular within the base. The real question here is does Rush Limbaugh represent the mainstream Republican Party as they try and develop a policy alternative to President Obama, who people do see, whether you agree with the policies or not, they see President Obama as going out and talking about the economy, budget priorities.
HALL: So, does he represent the mainstream Republican Party? Does he? Beyond that room in there? He’s a very powerful man.
MELBER: He seems to be very popular and it doesn’t seem that there are any members of Congress who will stand up to him. One Congressman from Georgia did recently and was so attacked within own district that he felt the need to backtrack. He went back to Rush Limbaugh’s show and apologized, as you know.
HALL: And apologized.
MELBER: I do think, to be fair, the Republican chair, Michael Steele, did say that some of Rush Limbaugh’s comments were ugly just over the past few days.
HALL: He says he’s not the leader of the party.
MELBER: And Steele is in competition. He wants to be the formal leader. I think he gets credit for that.
HALL: Well, does it benefit the President, we saw Rahm Emanuel on “Face the Nation” to take on Rush Limbaugh? What is- Shouldn’t you take on the high road on this? You are the President.
MELBER: Well, the President is getting attacked viciously here by Rush Limbaugh. That speech, as you know, was carried on several television channels. So, no, I think you got to come back and respond aggressively.
HALL: And I did say over the weekend, we talked about the first lady wearing short sleeves and if Rush was a man, we’d be talking a lot about that unbuttoned shirt with the hair coming out of it.
MELBER: Well, he gets away with a lot for some reason.
HALL: All right. Thanks you very much, Ari. Conservative values- eww- are not necessarily keeping conservatives away from porn. Eww. A new Harvard study shows that states whose residents bought the most online porn tended to vote for John McCain in the last election. In fact, eight of the top ten states in the survey were red states. Researchers got their numbers by adding up anonymous credit card receipts. Well, it is legal.

March 2, 2009 - 14:36 ET by PeterDIt's really quite funny to me how much the Left/MSM fears Rush. Just like they fear Palin and Jindal. The same Left/MSM declaring Rush to be the head of the Republican Party today is the same Left/MSM that declared Rush irrelevant last summer with the ascension of McCain as the nominee.
Sure, Rush may have made one error is mistaking the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. But to me that's still better than declaring we have 57 states.
The left doesn't fear Rush -
March 2, 2009 - 16:40 ET by berthugginsThe left doesn't fear Rush - they fear the people who believe Rush is actually an upstanding individual who can contribute to the betterment of society, rather than someone dead set on keeping the country at war with itself.

March 2, 2009 - 15:04 ET by eaglewingz08One never saw Pres Bush ever name any of the libtards who taunted him much more than Rush has ever done, or will ever do to Mr. Obama. The problem is Mr. Obama is so thin skinned (because of his high opinion of himself based upon no foundation) that he must attack anyone who speaks the truth about himself. As for the quote about the Declaration/Constitution, Rush made it clear he was talking about both founding documents when he mentioned the Preamble (but both documents have a preamble) and it might just have been nerves or a word that got lost in his speech concerning the phraseology he was referring to.
Now when I hear these libtard reporters taking Mr. Obama to task for his 57 states, or his 95 percent of Americans will see a tax cut, or their taxes won't be raised a dime, then maybe I will take them off my commie reporter list. But that doesn't seem likely for the forseeable future.

The president is getting attacked visciously???
March 2, 2009 - 15:10 ET by waincroftI didn't hear it that way. POTUS's (Presidential Orifice of the United States) policies and vision for this country were attacked by Rush, and rightly so. As Rush said, "We are NOT going to give up the American dream. I want the country to survive and to succeed. I want the United States to survive as we know it."
So Rush mispoke about the quote, Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness coming from the Constitution. He was up there speaking for over an hour, occasionally referring to notes, but WITHOUT A TELEPROMPTER!
The left doesn't care about the fact that they take an oath to govern according to the Constitution. Cripes, Joe Biden didn't even know what it set forth as duties for the Vice President! They ignore the documents of our founding fathers, think them obsolete and want to change them.
Rush beat the drum soundly. Now it's up to all of us to add to the orchestra and sound the Conservative message.

So let me get this straight, they're whining because Rush made a mistake in mis-atributing a passage from the Constitution!! The man spoke for about an hour in a half without using or barely using his notes. I'd like to see 57-state, Uhh-bambi try that.
Hay Ari, Rush mentioned that on his show BEFORE YOU DID.

Please don't misunderstand my feelings here, I know you have to cover msnbc somewhat...but it seems it is all the time, everyday, and I look at it as they love every word posted, we give them too much attention, that they do not deserve.
Just my two cents.
Antagonism begets antagonism

Clinton did the same
March 2, 2009 - 16:04 ET by iveseenitallI'm not sure when it was, but I distinctly remember commenting to my wife when Bill Clinton made the same error of mixing up the Constitution and The Declaration of Independence. It's an easy thing to do, so I never thought much of it at the time. Neither did the "liberal" press. But as soon as a conservative does it, it's a big deal. Hypocrites all.
NEVER,NEVER trusta "liberal"
This says to me that
March 2, 2009 - 16:05 ET by RD Kingaccording to Hall a citizen who actually believes in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness can't be wrong about where that info comes from without paying a price, a public tongue lashing, while at the same time a commie usurper POS, er POTUS who claims constitutional law as his background can despise it, claim that it is fundamentally wrong and trash and disregard it at every turn he takes and that is fine, he gets a pass.
Call me on this if I am wrong but I believe it actually says that we hold these truths to be self evident and endowed by our Creator. The writers did not claim that the declaration or the constitution made this endowment, they included it as part of the legal contract Americans have as citizens of this great nation with God Almighty and now obama seeks to stay the course democrats have chosen decades ago and destroy and take all of these God given rights away from all of us. We need to as a country bring God back into the American life, something this muslim anti-American will never do or allow.

March 2, 2009 - 16:07 ET by Junk Science SkepticWhenever a conservative utters an inadvertent malapropism, usually speaking extemporaneously, it's played back thousands of times and touted as proof that the speaker is ignorant.
On the other hand, when a liberal gets something clearly wrong, usually more than once, it was just a bad joke, or it was too "nuanced" for us poor folks to understand here in flyover land.

If they had it their way, the Constitution would be re-written, and they pretty much ignore the Declaration of Independence anyway as being irrelevent, because it wasn't written by Marx and Engels.

Obama has already said that
March 2, 2009 - 22:49 ET by richb313I believe Obama has already said that. I remember reading an article that was archived last year from some local Illinois publication that Obama said that the Constitution was a document, especially the Bill of Rights, was a negative document. He was reported to say that it is time for a new more positive Constitution is need that better reflects the current times. Would someone here be able to help me locate this? It might have been purged making it difficult to locate but there a lot more Internet savy folks than me on this site and I am sure you guys can do this.

March 2, 2009 - 17:42 ET by NorthCoasterthe whole speach was done off the cuff for 90 minutes without a teleprompter. Yes, he should have mentioned the Delcaration of Independence, but tell me did you know it without going to Google?
Yep, one mistake nullifies the whole thing
March 2, 2009 - 19:55 ET by nkviking75RUSH LIMBAUGH: We believe that the preamble to the Constitution contains an inarguable truth: That we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life, liberty, freedom and the pursuit of happiness.
HALL: So, Ari, Rush thought he was quoting the Constitution. It was the Declaration of Independence. How embarrassing is that for him, especially the way he slammed the President?
Yep, one tiny little mistake in an incredible ad libbed speech nullifies the whole thing. I'm convinced. Rush should be completely ignored. </sarcasm off>
I bet Rush knows where that line comes from, and I'll bet he didn't realize he'd made the mistake. If he had, I'm sure he'd have corrected himself. I'm sure he wishes he had gotten that right, but I doubt he's losing any sleep over it. Others have cited Obama's best known verbal gaffes. Bill Clinton often mangled Scripture for his own purposes. Al Gore and Joe Biden have had many such moments.
Rush hit a grand slam, and these little termites are trying to chew away at the outfield fence. Libs, you have the right to speak, but you'd do yourselves a big favor by shutting up and moving on.
When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

He also hit on how the President needed a teleprompter to announce so Cabinet pick or undersecretary or sumptin.

0bama comments on summer 2008 Illinois floods
March 3, 2009 - 03:44 ET by The Goat WhispererAccording to then Senator 0bama, the Illinois Air National Guard (IANG) wasn't available to assit with Illinois flood relief efforts, allegedly because President Bush had deployed the IANG to Iraq.
Just two problems: The IANG had assisted with flood relief efforts. And the missing elements of the IANG were in Bosnia! Shortly afterward, there was a national news media black out this 0bama homestate campaign trail news conference gaff.
Speaking of Bosnia, what's the exit strategy for Bosnia?
