Maddow Finally Apologizes to Limbaugh

But the damage is already done.

First paper to run Limbaugh "slavery" quote issues retraction

Too little too late.

HuffPo, Rick Sanchez retract phony Limbaugh quotes

Kinda. But the damage is done and so they really don't care that they used lies to smear Limbaugh - it's what they do.

Notice that Sanchez is such a coward that he uses Twitter to sorta apoligize. He made the smear on television and should have the guts to apologize in the same way.

Sanchez: "i’ve know rush. in person,i like him. his rhetoric,however is inexcusably divisive. he’s right tho. we didn’t confirm quote. our bad."

"He's right tho" means Limbaugh never said what Sanchez alleges he said. Be a man Sanchez and apologize to Limbaugh on the air.

The Rush Limbaugh media lynch mob

It's amazing how much of the US media's job the British media are doing these days. Is The Telegraph on sale in America?

"As Mark Steyn points out, in this instance it’s for Limbaugh to prove the negative – an impossible task. And Dan Calebrese asks why if Limbaugh really is a racist then it takes bogus quotes to “prove” that he is?"

To answer that question we turn to the left's playbook "Alinsky's Rules for Radicals".

RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

For the left, including the left wing media, it doesn't even matter if the "personalized criticism" is true or not as long as it works.

RULE 5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)

Thanks to the Internet and blogs, the right have begun to use these tactics against the left. The reason the right have begun to be more effective than the left at this is, the right uses video and audio tape to prove they are accurate while the left just lie. The more the right expose the left's lies and the media's complicity in spreading the lies, the more the left are being marginalized. And that's a good thing, a very good thing.

The left want to believe in racism

They have to, it's their biggest weapon. But what happens when that weapon no longer works?

"How is it that when Righties quote Lefties, they have video, audio, and notarized confirmation from the Pope, but when Lefties ‘quote’ Righties, they have Wiki entries contributed by ‘Cobra’? "

How? Rule 12 from the left's own playbook. That's how.

"RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.) "

The right have begun to use the left's own playbook against them. Time to ramp it up.

Why wasn't Limbaugh fire for racist quotes?

If he ever said them that is.
