Media Matters Smear Machine: We'll Get Rush Limbaugh Soon Enough!

WE'LL GET HIM

'Progressive' Foes: We're Waiting For Next 'Racist' Remark







With a critical election fast approaching, it's no surprise that Rush Limbaugh's "progressive" foes are waiting for an opportunity to take him down once and for all.

After all, it's about more than just partisan politics: the Smear Machine needs money to keep operating and that requires bona fide results. As Media Matters has yet to truly score a major victory (beyond the temporary derailment of Don Imus), capturing the big trophy has become essential for survival. Damaging or destroying Limbaugh's career would be worth millions to the group responsible for pulling it off.

While none of this is a mystery, this interview of the organization's Karl Frisch by libtalker Stephanie Miller provides unusually candid insight into how they expect to destroy Limbaugh's career:

KARL FRISCH (8:05): You have to wait every couple of weeks for Rush Limbaugh. I don’t know if he goes off his medication or something, but for him to get really down in the dirt racist, it only happens every couple of weeks, whether its bend over and grab her ankles cause his father was black, or calling him (Obama) a Halfican American, or playing Barack the Magic Negro, that stuff doesn’t happen every day.

But it’s as if there’s a little beaker inside of Rush Limbaugh that fills up with racist venom until it just can’t take it anymore and it explodes all over the place.

STEPHANIE MILLER: You’re right his blow-out preventer is faulty in that sense.

As regular Limbaugh listeners know, however, these controversies are almost always manufactured by political enemies, created through the misrepresentation of his words to fit their agenda. So will they actually wait for him to say something controversial, or will the next flap simply be made up?

We'll know soon enough.
