You guys, back off Limbaugh - he said he never made those Cindy comments

But on the August 17 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show, Limbaugh falsely claimed that his comments were being misreported:

LIMBAUGH: Let me take a brief time out here to address something. I have been the recipient of a pretty decent amount of hate mail, far, far, far more hate mail than I usually get. Just this morning -- and I don't really get a whole lot of hate mail. And most of it's funny as it can be. But apparently there is something that is out there misreporting what I have said. And of course, these people are reading that rather than listening to this program and choosing to believe it.

Apparently, what's out there is that I said that Cindy Sheehan is no different than Bill Burkett, that Bill Burkett lied and Cindy Sheehan lied. They're actually out there, people saying that I am accusing Cindy Sheehan of making up the fact that she had a son and making up the fact that her son died in Iraq. And of course, I've never said this. That I, early on in this, if you wanna go back -- and we'll post the archives on my website tonight just to illustrate this. I'm the one that actually expressed a little compassion for her. And I said I don't really wanna talk too much about her, particularly because she's lost a son here. And that can never be easy. And I don't care -- there are all kinds of different people that have all kinds of different reactions to this. But losing a child is the absolute worst thing that can happen to an adult. There's nothing that rivals it, in my estimation.

So the idea that I think that she's making it all up is just another sign of the desperation of the people on the left who love to take us all out of context to try to get their side riled up. What I said was that the media looks at her the same way they look at Bill Burkett, as an opportunity. It didn't matter whether Burkett was telling the truth or not, and it doesn't matter what the specifics of Cindy Sheehan's case are. She is protesting Bush, Burkett hated Bush. That's why they're attractive to the media, and that's why the media is willing to exploit her.

I think all that Oxycontin abuse has deteriorated his brain that he can't remember what he said 2 days ago!!

1. BULLSHIT! To quote Super Troopers:

I'll believe that when me shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbert.

2. I have the recordings of this MOTHERFUCKER'S WORDS

Please God, don't let me ever meet him in a dark place or I would not be able to keep from strangling him.

[LynneSin]

3. Hell, don't let me meet him in a light place either

in fact, it's best that Rush just avoid the whole Philly metro area because if I run into him - I won't kill him but hopefully end his radio career when I rip out his vocal cords!!

4. "Her story is nothing more than forged documents"

OK Rush, explain the "Context".

[Spangle]

9. Is he admiting that Bush and Company forged documents and LIED ?

The ONLY way to hear that statement out of context is if he was talking about Bush and not Cindy and her son.

8. It is recorded.

This asshole has really sunk even deeper into his addictions. Rush... stop the drugs now and get help!
The sad part of it is, his sheep will start to believe they never heard it coming out of their radios. All he has to do is tell them what to think and they will comply.

[Spangle]

10. Doesn't matter that there is proof

Rush gets things wrong all the tiime. It's part of his show. It's how he riles up the RW who think he is GOD. Hence, they will not check past what he says. If he is now saying he didn't say it.. they will believe him. And they will defend him against the "liers" who are trying to smear him.

Pretty sad.

11. Rush is the ultimate 'Squealer'

teaching the sheep the new message to bleet
