#117 Paddy-O, if the claims from the FAIR website are false, the founders have made it especially easy for Limbaugh to win a libel lawsuit against them, because they exposed many of those same lies in a book titled The Way Things Aren’t: Rush Limbaugh’s Reign of Error : Over 100 Outrageously False and Foolish Statements from America’s Most Powerful Radio and TV.

It was published in 1995, and suing its authors for libel would be exactly the sort of thing that Rush would LOVE to do for at least three reasons. Limbaugh would LOVE to make more money, he’d LOVE to make fools of liberals, and he’d LOVE to rev up the motor on his mouth while testifying in court.

Of course, there’s that tricky little requirement that libel lawsuits cannot be won if the material in question is factually true. That’s where Rush doesn’t have the same leeway under oath in court that he has on his shows.

#122, Cow-Paddy,

The only reason you can’t verify the claims is you are just too effen lazy.

First, you still haven’t pointed out where the article is too general. (TV Show?)

Second, you still have yet to provide any substance to your claim that Pelosi wants Gitmo detainees to settle in America.

Third, you are too well known for your trolling.

Paddy-O says:

# 123 Mr. Fusion said, “Second, you still have yet to provide any substance to your claim that Pelosi wants Gitmo detainees to settle in America.”

Because, I never said she wanted them to settle in the U.S…

I’m not quite sure what you’re looking for in terms of proof, Paddy-O. Do you want them to let you listen to their original tapes? They have quoted him, and they’ve put the quotes in print, so the ball is truly in Limbaugh’s court to dispute the accuracy and make them prove it. That’s how libel lawsuits work. He can force them to prove that their quotation is accurate to the satisfaction of a judge or jury.

Mr. Fusion says:

#126, Cow-Paddy,

If you want to “quote” someone you better be able to prove the quote. Otherwise, it is so much garbage…

I see you don’t understand the use of citations. This is not academia and shouldn’t be held to the same standards. It is not up to me to “prove” a quote. I wasn’t there and the original tapes probably don’t exist or would not be available for my listening.

Now do I need to go to that extent to demonstrate what was said. No. People that have heard the tapes have written about it. That is satisfactory enough to pass almost any test.

Now if you want to think my sources are garbage that is your prerogative. That, however, does not diminish that someone posted they wanted to see some lies Limbaugh told. I posted several. They were all linked to the source where I found them.

Now let’s look at your links. Oopps, you don’t post any. Now how could it be that someone who has no idea what a citation is wouldn’t back up his own garbage? Why of course, it is so evident!!! Because you made it up!!! That makes you an effen liar.

Using a source to demonstrate your point is only as good as the quality of the source.

Mr. Fusion says:

#130, Mustard,

ha ha ha ha,

You have such a subtle way with words. I’m just wondering if Cow-Paddy will “get” that gentle hint.

#131–Jeebesus Fusion==Mustard has been beating on Liar-O-Pinocchio for so long and so often that I think he’s confusing it with being complimented. After all, that is all he hears when he makes management in trainee reports at the Shack.

I’m still amused at how little he posts a link and that 50% of the time the link says the OPPOSITE of what he claims, 45% of the time its simply irrelevant, leaving a 5% chance its worth that 17cents of carbon footprint to go look up.

Paddy-Zero–such a buffoon I probably am deluding myself in half thinking he is actually pulling some kind of street theater a la Andy Kauffman or some such.
