Media Matters and the Faux Rush Controversy
Back in 2004, Byron York took a look at the origins of Media Matters for America. Since the group is currently creating a false controversy over something Rush Limbaugh supposedly said about our soldiers (one that Senate Dems have only been too happy to jump into), National Review is re-running the piece today. It's a must-read if you'd like to know more about this group and its agenda.
Oh, and you must read Ann Coulter's take on the whole thing...masterful and amusing as always.
Speaking of which, I'll be joining Andrea Shea-King on her Blogtalk Radio show tonight at 9pm Eastern to discuss it the attack on Limbaugh and its implications for free speech -- not just for conservatives, but everyone. Click here to listen, and click here to join the chat room. We hope you'll join us!
UPDATE: MSNBC's Norah O'Donnell cuts off Sgt. Mark Seavey from the American Legion when he tries to explain the plural "soldiers" that has everyone in a tizzy, and then gives the Vote Vets guy the "last word." She also seems to imply by the gravity of her tone that Clear Channel's CEO should have heeded the letter written by Harry Reid and his merry band of senators and forced Rush to apologize.

Posted by: THIRDWAVEDAVE at October 4, 2007 11:00 PMIt's no surprise that Dems jump on this kinda thing, even when they're so obviously wrong. It is appalling, however, that some of the very ones screaming the loudest are the same ones who have been the most unpatriotic toward our soldiers. The chutzpah of the Dems knows no bounds.
