RUSH: We've talked today about some of the media that's not gotten this right. CNN yesterday, Wolf Blitzer, I was disappointed. Wolf's a good journalist, I still maintain that, but Wolf fell hook, line, and sinker for the Media Matters premise, and started with that premise, and then took a report, well, Limbaugh is saying something else. "Well, but Limbaugh, of course, would say something else." But there have been people who have stood up. O'Reilly last night on The O'Reilly Factor with Brian...

RUSH: To the phones, we go to George, South Windsor, Connecticut. George, welcome to the Rush Limbaugh program. Nice to have you here.CALLER: Yes, Rush, four or six-inch above the waist bouncing dittos.RUSH: Uhhhh, thank you, sir, appreciate that.CALLER: If you ever had a best-of show, that was one of the funniest segments. But, anyway, the reason I called is I know why the Democrats are doing this. If you remember before the '06 election, the whole Michael J. Fox thing that the media totally...

RUSH: For those of you watching on the Dittocam, during the top-of-the-hour break, we placed a plaque here with an American eagle riding atop the Stars and Stripes, the American flag. I did this for a reason, because I want to play for you an audio sound bite from Monday on Capitol Hill. Cybercast News Service interviewed Senator Warner of Virginia, Senator John Warner, about the phony soldier remark, the Jesse MacBeth story. This is what Senator Warner said.WARNER: I've met Rush Limbaugh. I...

Dear Rush, Mega-dittos from one of the soldiers adopted for your Rush 24/7. I'm writing this from the MWR in Tallil AFB, Iraq. After reading your Friday "phony soldiers" monologue, I had Democrats pegged as stuck on stupid and it's still hard to believe they are THAT stupid to accuse you of besmirching us, given their track records. And, come to think of it, they besmirch us yet again at the same time they accuse you because to go by whatever they pass off as "reasoning", to believe that you besmirched...

RUSH: St. Joseph, Missouri, this is Sarah. Glad you waited. You're next on the big program. Nice to have you here.CALLER: Thank you, Rush. How are you?RUSH: Good. Never better.CALLER: I have a son in Afghanistan, a son-in-law in Iraq, and these phony soldiers -- and by that I mean these guys that were not men enough to cut basic or to get through basic -- they make me sick. I'm so angry I'm shaking. And Harry Reid, to get up there and make us think he cares one whit about our guys, our...

RUSH: Cybercast News Service interviewed Senator Ben Nelson, a Democrat from Nebraska, about the phony soldier thing, and this is what Ben Nelson said:NELSON: What we've got into right now is a situation where MoveOn.org was hammered by the other side, so it's not surprising that now you've got a sort of the return of that in the case of Limbaugh. Quite honestly, I don't get involved in those unless it's about me, and I consider talk radio entertainment as well as news, and so I just don't pay...

RUSH: You know one of the funniest things in Harry Reid's comments on the floor of the Senate yesterday was this. He said, "I can't help but wonder how my Republican colleagues would have reacted if the tables were turned, if a well-known Democrat radio personality had used the same insulting line of attack against troops who support the war." What's funny about that is, what "well-known Democrat radio personalities" are there? The fact is, there are several Democrat radio personalities who do...

RUSH: We start in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Bill, thanks for all your patience. I appreciate it.CALLER: Mega dittos from the Left Coast, and it's a real honor to talk to a true American patriot and a great American as yourself.RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.CALLER: I am a returning Iraqi war veteran, and I am extremely appalled by everything I hear from the Democrats in Congress and the Senate, and even some Republicans, and I am truly grateful for your support of patriots as ourselves...

RUSH: Here's Harry Reid on the floor of the Senate yesterday, an expert on patriotism, by the way, calling me unpatriotic.REID: Rush Limbaugh went way over the line, way over the line. While I respect his right to say anything he likes, his unpatriotic comments I cannot ignore. During his show last Wednesday, Limbaugh was engaged in one of his typical rants. This one was unremarkable, indistinguishable from his usually drivel, [sic] which has been steadily losing listeners for years, until he...

RUSH: We're going to continue now with the dissection of the smear campaign against me launched by Harry Reid on the floor of the Senate yesterday. Of course, this is in conjunction with MoveOn.org and Media Matters for America, an organization Hillary Clinton admits to founding, and helping start and organize. But I want to go back to this clip from Senator Harkin yesterday on the Senate floor.HARKIN: What's most despicable is that Rush Limbaugh says these provocative things to make more money....

RUSH: It's time somebody told liberals, and that somebody is me, that they don't get to say what people meant either by virtue of their pronouns or their phrases. Liberals do not get to interpret the supposed code words of speech, especially since they reserve the infinite right to revise and extend or otherwise clarify their remarks, such as Joe Biden and his insult to Barack Obama. Well, we gotta "clean," "articulate" black guy for a change. "Oh, I did not really mean that." Of course, Senator...

RUSH: You know, it's sad to be told, ladies and gentlemen, by a wounded vet returning from the theater that I have challenged his legitimacy and his heroism and his service and called him phony when no such thing has ever been said. I really don't even want to accept the premise of this because that would mean it necessary to defend it, and there's nothing to defend here, because this is a smear and a false charge. I've been to Walter Reed, the amputee rehab unit. I have been to bases, combat...

RUSH: I've read some of your e-mails out there, and there are two schools of thought being expressed on the whole situation with me, a private citizen being castigated and denounced on the floor of the US Senate by the Senate majority leader. Also the subject of a House resolution, a private citizen, me, denounced by Democrats on the floor of the House, and these resolutions are demanding that others condemn me and that I apologize for something that never happened and I didn't say. The two schools...

You're Missing Out on Thousands of Rush Quotes! Join Rush 24/7 NOW!"Hillary's Media Matters took two of my words and used hundreds of words to manipulate it into a smear.""Tom Harkin was pathetic. I feel like apologizing to his family for what he said yesterday on the floor of the Senate. Such a demeaning thing that he did, and so below the decorum and the stature one would associate with the United States Senate. But that's who these people have become.""Mrs. Clinton, queen of the quarter, crushed...

Story #1: Poll Says Democrats Should Cut Off Funds, Right?RUSH: From the Washington Post today: "Most in Poll Want War Funding Cut; Bush's Approval Rating Ties All-Time Low." So the liberals out there keep running this poll ploy. You see, Democrats? The public wants you to cut off the funds, it says here. So do it! I mean, if the public wants the funds to be cut, why haven't you guys done it? If it's so obvious, according to these polls, how come all of your resolutions here have failed? By the...
