People today are still discussing her "death panels". Even those that know Frum likely can't even tell us what he's written, maybe even in this article. Ideas move people.

The Multi-culti crowd simply refuses (probably due to ingrained self-loathing)to listen to the logic that you have so aptly described above, which cancels any further need for discussion.

Ann is a good debater, but her comments that the Jersey girls were happy about their husbands deaths for money showed she can be stupid at times.

Frum doesn't understand what it will take to defeat the left where as
Horowitz gets it. Though I disagree with Horowitz on Sarah palin, that doesn't mean I disown him.

Now you're projecting, Mr. Bubba. The mere fact that you do not consider it necessary to read articles or books upon which you comment is not a sufficient basis for you to accuse others of similar intellectual dishonesty. Shame, shame!

Its a media watchdog…they have a mission statement…it's about exposing “conservative” misinformation.

I don't think you have ever read it, or you wouldn't have said what you said….everything is backed up there by audio, video, transcripts….sorry

Clearly you do not
spend as much time reading the posts on Media Matters as you claim. It is a thoroughly partisan organisation, less devoted to advocacy than to discrediting the occasional protests of patriots concerning where the left is taking America.

I'm at a disadvantage here. I can't put all the things I don't like into one big group, so we should stick to individual examples. To back up your Rush defense your citing CBS from 2004? That's a whole other post, thread, and issue.

"As to Media Matters, one of its M.O.s is to broadcast a snippet of a quote that ignores its context and distorts the speaker's meaning."

By broadcast you mean post to their website? They are a website after all.

"It would be comparable to a conservative speaker declaring in a forty minute speech the following line, "After a decade of erratic Weimar fiscal policy, many citizens of Germany thought Hitler was good," and then excerpting the three words "Hitler was good" to prove that the speaker, like all true conservatives (wink wink) supported Hitler."

This just isn't true. There isn't an item on their website that isn't backed up by transcript, context, audio, or video. If people can't take responsibility for what they say, then they shouldn't speak with authority.

MM is like a robot. They have commentaries, but you will find more links in one editorial on MM then in all the articles on FPM combined. If you see videos cut into a montage, then those videos have already been covered fully and you can go back and look at the full clip.

"Then the leftist sickos at Media Matters disseminate the cut to their favorite liberal media network or blog. Led by the girly boy David Schlock, Media Matters lies fanatically (still denying Soros as a source of funding) and distorts the speech of patriots to serve its goal, as radicals say, of "radical social transformation," i.e. socialism."

"as radicals say"? Dude, you are doing what you are accusing Media Matters of.
And you are on FPM, run by Horowitz's "Freedom Center". Where you do think he gets his money? If you count any foundation that has anything to do with any other foundation or trust that Soros has something to do with, then Soros funds the entire world. Same with Scaife and "conservatives". It doesn't tell us anything about what is "true". In any case, you have to do some pretty amazing backflips to make Soros the funder of MM.

Rush imparticular is listened to everyday by MM. I sometimes listen to Rush for a few minutes in the morning on my way to the office. You don't have distort...he says crazy shit all the time.

Hey Bubba 4, Of course, commentators attack Rush for “alleged comments,” or to be more accurate, comments he never made. He was chastised by a variety of liberal commentators and public figures for aserting–among other things–that “slavery had its merits,” among other fabrications. Subsequently, several of the commentators retracted the assertion, after its publication had served the left's purpose. The reality is that the left frequently misquotes, or more perniciously, fabricates comments, statements, and documents relating to conservatives; for example, the forged document intended to discredit Bush during the 2004 re-election campaign (which Dan Rather pursued with gusto, and which helped shorten his career at CBS). There are many others.

People don't attack Rush for “alleged” comments…they critique his actual comments.

Media Matters is not a News site…it is a media watchdog…so it is a reliable site for what they track…which is “conservative” misinformation. You can disagree with their editorials, but they always include clips, transcripts, links, and everything. So, are you saying they manipulate their clips or lie about the content? There is no evidence for that.

I don't have much time for reading atm, but when I do squeeze in a book, it's not going to be Ann Coulter.

Good day, Mr. Bubba4! My stomach is strong today, so I thought I would look to see what issues you're fulminating about today. I note your comment that no one need “attack Rush for alleged comments.” But if that is true, why does so much of your liberal cohort do exactly that? In fact, the lefties frequently fabricate comments to try to discredit Rush.
Your endorsement of Media Matters as a reliable source of information is entirely consistent with your preference for reading left-wing blogs to learn the content of books rather than actually reading the books.

Media Matters is a media watdog website that focuses exclusively on “conservative” misinformation. Actually if you want to get a handle on something Rush says or said and you want to read/hear it in context…I think MM has a pretty extensive archive of offensive and stupid things he's said. You don't have to listen to his entire three hour program everyday to have an opinion about Rush.

The Daily Kos is a blogger?

No one has to attack Rush for alleged comments…his real, documented, in context comments provide plenty of fodder.
