TIME"s Joe Klein went after Rush Limbaugh and didn't hold back any punches. The topic was Wanda Sykes and her routine at the WH Correspondents Dinner. She hit Rushbo. and conservatives are so upset.
KLEIN: This is just comedy. And we're talking about a guy in Rush Limbaugh who is inappropriate half the time I hear him on the radio.
CARPENTER: Yes, but he doesn't go to the White House Correspondents' Dinner to... (CROSSTALK)
KLEIN: But he describes himself as an entertainer. Wanda Sykes, entertainer. This is entertainment.
CARPENTER: But would you hold up Rush Limbaugh at these dinners to tell those jokes?
KLEIN: So could Rush. He could be in a lot better taste on a daily basis in which he is delivering misinformation, lies to a large audience in America. That is far more serious than telling a couple of jokes at a banquet.
KURTZ: Well, "lies" is a strong word, but we'll come back to that another time.
Klein was surprisingly candid in his assessment of Limbaugh and what he says on the air. Kurtz got stunned when Joe called Rush an outright liar. He also defends Sykes right to do what she will as a comedian.
(transcript below the fold via CNN)
KURTZ: The president address Michael Steele, the Republican chairman. And speaking of Rush Limbaugh, Wanda Sykes, the comedienne who followed the president, told this joke that got some groans in the room. She said -- she kind of accused -- she accused Rush Limbaugh of treason and she said, "I think maybe Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker, but he was just strung out on oxycontin and missed his flight." Does that go way, way over the comedic line?
CARPENTER: I think it does. I mean, there is a willingness for these jokes to be a little saucy at these dinners. I think that went over the line. I think the joke she told about Sarah Palin and Todd Palin's sex life was inappropriate. I think the inference she had to Barack Obama's race was also inappropriate. Overall...
KURTZ: She talked about if he was successful, he would be seen as an African-American president. And if not, he'd be seen as some half-white guy. CARPENTER: Yes. Yes, I thought that was over the line.
KLEIN: You know, comedy is, by definition, inappropriate. I mean...
KURTZ: Or it wouldn't be funny.
KLEIN: This is just comedy. And we're talking about a guy in Rush Limbaugh who is inappropriate half the time I hear him on the radio.
CARPENTER: Yes, but he doesn't go to the White House Correspondents' Dinner to... (CROSSTALK)
KLEIN: But he describes himself as an entertainer. Wanda Sykes, entertainer. This is entertainment.
CARPENTER: But would you hold up Rush Limbaugh at these dinners to tell those jokes?
SKLAR: It goes to context. I really think that it goes to context. I mean, everyone in the room is aware of the bigger picture here, the history. I think that if you deliver a monologue, a toothless monologue, without reference to context, then it means nothing.
CARPENTER: I think she could have done a fine job that was in better taste. That's all.
KURTZ: Speaking of dinners...
KLEIN: So could Rush. He could be in a lot better taste on a daily basis in which he is delivering misinformation, lies to a large audience in America. That is far more serious than telling a couple of jokes at a banquet.
KURTZ: Well, "lies" is a strong word, but we'll come back to that another time.
I've been saying that for years now...where's MY Pulitzer dammit?
Beware the strong words, we wouldn't want to label anything that wasn't a prearranged rebranding by the Right. What is a lie anyway? It's like there is a phobia about calling out Republicans as lying, yet Rush and Co. call the left liars and worse every day. Can we just call it a lie if someone lies? Oh no it wasn't a lie, what I meant to say was a truth limited phrase. A factual omission by design. A prevarication of the slightest degree.
Someone states a fact isn't a fact, then they are lying.
Definition:
FACT
1. something known to be true: something that can be shown to be true, to exist, or to have happened
2. truth or reality of something: the truth or actual existence of something, as opposed to the supposition of something or a belief about something
based on fact
TRUTH
Definition:
1. something factual: the thing that corresponds to fact or reality
2. true quality: correspondence to fact or reality
3. true statement: a statement that corresponds to fact or reality
That kinda crazy talk can get the men with white coats comin after ya....
All facts are contextual, and all truth is relative. That's why the dichotomy between factual reporting and editorial opinion by journalists is so absurd. Opinion in popular speak could be anything from statistical analysis resulting from applying a literature-justified model to a survey or experimental design that produces data OR opinion could be "I feel that ...."
We economic scientists know that fact vs. opinion must be replaced by Definitions, Data, Testable Hypotheses, Theory, Assumptions, Proofs, Axioms, Normative Values, Policy Analyses and Recommendations, Predictions and Forecasts.

"I mean Romney is the most conservative on illegal immigration and I don't think Ronald Reagan could get elected in California today."
Ann "Clipped" Coulter
There's a lot of jealousy out there. People who think they are educated because they were awarded a sheepskin. Well the laugh is on you. If you didn't study enough economics, you're just whistling in the wind and ripe for any demagogue or pied piper who comes along. Remember that Limbaugh's techniques are identical with those used by Hitler and Stalin. The formula is the same. Find some topical news story that does matter and represent it as reason to fear and hate. Then beat the drums of patriotism and hooray for us(the Nazis and USSR were even more patriotic than Limbaugh's minions). Make every news story about us vs. them, and you'll easily control the dittoheads of the world.
Truth and fact aren't meaningless, unless you need to weasel out of something, and the facts are likely to be held against you.
that would suppose that people believe in science. I don't think you'll find to many of them in The Media or in Politics. How can we have a debate about anything if the very meanings of words are twisted and any "data" used to perform testable hypotheses can be challenged by a non-reality based mindset? Tell me how this is not true. "On September 11th 2001, two airplanes were crashed into the world trade center in New York."
How about this one, "Suspected terrorists were subjected to waterboarding by persons under orders from the administration of the United States."
How about this one "waterboarding is not torture."?
I don't see a lot of wiggle room for the first two, the last you could argue semantics, but it's pretty accepted that waterboarding IS torture, no subjectivity is going to change that. You may argue for the opinion vs facts dialogue to change, but right now we just have opinion vs opinion and that does no good. Arguing about gray is natural, but black and white really leaves no room to debate about which one is which. Those that would argue that white is black, or that black is white, is LYING.

This depends on who you listen to.
Limpbow, "sun rises in the west and sets in the east." (fat chance)
And the Sun rises and sets in a slightly different positions on the horizon progressively throughout the seasons and at different places at each different lattitude. Facts require specific definitions of terms and answers change over time, space, and context.
Truthiness, a la Colbert, doesn't have this limitation. Facts and truth are whatever sounds right or ought to be.
you're on the moon, relatively speaking.
That's about all we have left in this country. Some jobs would be nice too. Some health care insurance that didn't leave you in poverty would be nice. An inner city public school that wasn't total bedlam would add a nice touch.
I hope you're joking about the schools. I work in inner city schools every day that look nothing like what you just described.
Stop watching those "gritty" inner city movies made by idiotic producers from small towns.

Ann "Clipped" Coulter
People like Amanda Carpenter are only consistent when they complain as the victims. To ignore the digusting and hateful history of Limbaugh was so dishonest. Other than Bush and Cheney, no other American deserves more criticism raining on his head than Limbaugh.
When someone intentionally says something that is untrue with the intent for the listeners to think that it is true, that is a lie.
Plain and simple, no way around it.
Hey rightwingers, why are you taking up for this drug addicted, lying ass millionaire entertainer? He's a millionaire neocon, he can take care of himself. Or can he?
when it comes to delivering misinformation joe klein is an expert
to get Joe to deliver. I have been wasting gas on take-out all this time.

Ann "Clipped" Coulter
for delivering said misinformation, ya really end up paying a bit more to have it delivered.
AND...by the time ya finally do get it...it's cold.
Is this the only thing we know how to do?
How many years have we suffered through Republicans saying outrageous things in a calculated manner to distract from the debate over real issues (Obama's a secret Muslim, liberals hate America, Al Qaeda wants Obama to win, etc. etc.), then those statements become the fodder for debate on the cable news networks ("Is Obama a secret Muslim? Tonight we have guests on both sides of the issue"), and by definition, Democrats have lost the debate.
It's about high time the Republicans are the "victims" of the "inappropriate" statements and the debate on cable is over whether those statements are true. Playing offense is more fun and more effective than playing defense.
...is to show these destructive cowards sympathy. They'll only exploit it and laugh at us for being weak. Kicking Conservative asses is what they need, and it's for the good of the country.
Agreed. I've been saying this for years. When repigs punch, punch back harder.
They'll squeal, whine, and sob "No fair, no fair."
If we continue to punch back harder, eventually they'll stop.
It's great see them bitch and moan now. I loved Wanda's jokes, I've been a fan of hers for years. You know it's a good joke when people laugh and/or squirm :-D
NOBODY 2012
Rush Limbaugh is the leader of the Republican Party and will be their 2012 candidate for President. If any Republican speaks up against him they are kicked out. The Republican Christian Base now supports Rush as their Leader and they accept his drug use and other perverted actions he does. It doesn't matter that he lies because Bush lied for 8 years and it was accepted. The Christian base is in full support of pre emptive bombing of Iran and Russia, as well as Torturing and murdering innocent men/woman/children. Human life is seen as no value to the Republican Party unless your with them and your the right person. Stealing is at the top of the to do list. Actions such as hiring prositutes, looking for sex in the men's room and even molesting kids is now approved by the Christian Base. No question the Religious Leader is Satan but it works when using God's Name as the front.
..Palin/Limpbaugh is the ticket you're looking for.
That will be some real amusement, doncha' think, you betcha'.
Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"

that about sums it up.
“The greatest evildoers are those who don’t remember because they have never given thought to the matter, and, without remembrance, nothing can hold them back,”
Last Fall our friend, who is a 70 plus year old, well know Republican, told us that he 12 year old grandson came and asked him, "Papa, why is it that James Dobson will not let a Catholic, Mormon or Jew run for Republican President?" OH MY GOD! FROM THE MOUTHS OF BABES. When a 12yo can see that the GOP is OWNED and controlled by Dobson and the Southern Baptist...well it speaks volums as to why young people are turned off to the GOP.
Rush, talks hate and lies constantly. The Bush Administration and GOP leadership dida nd still do the same. Preachers spew democrat, gay and anti abortion hate from their baptist and evangelical pulpits EVERY SUNDAY...they are all liars, bigots, hypocrites, feeding each others egos until they believe their own lies and deciet. However, young people are seeing through their hypocrisy and the GOP, regardless of its leader, is now a regional, theoratic, political party. They are about to self destruct...only 5 states now show more registered republicans than democrats, Nationally, 266,000 voters have changed their registration from Independent and Republican to Independent in the last 4 mouths.
and I know his salvation will be central in many good Christian's prayers.

excited. As typical of these formats these days, the agenda setters in the room are allowed to ramble on unfettered with only a mild interjection from reason, which is then snuffed out by the last word, which is usually designed to plant doubt about what the dissenter just said.
Therefore, in my mind, no effect is made. It just gives the wingnuts the false sense that their points have all been debated in a forum and their worldview has been proven and vindicated.
When I see real equal time exhanges, then I'll be convinced that we're getting our word out. Otherwise, its still all propaganda.
Kurtz is suck an asshole. "Well, "lies" is a strong word," what would you call them Howard??
going to the washington times for panelists?? man,, weakness
And it is even more applicable to the previous administration, Howie and Joe.

invited a woman or black comedian to headline before? Any reason they told white males not to apply? Can Halperin answer that?
"I mean Romney is the most conservative on illegal immigration and I don't think Ronald Reagan could get elected in California today."
Ann "Clipped" Coulter
Rush Limbaugh, since the day after 9/11, has been stating, in seriousness, that liberals are essentially quasi-terrorists... trying everyway he can to state that everybody who has a D next to their name is, for all intents and purposes, the 20th hijacker.
And then the one time he gets it thrown back in his pudgy, doughy, self-hating face as a joke, as a rib, as an unserious Fuck You, all these whiners and morons come out of the woodwork to get so OFFENDED. Oh, it's SOOO terrible! Oh, how DARE she!?!?!?
Fucking ridiculous.
The Entertainer.
The Pugs have been getting away with this nonsense for years.
Maybe each show should include a disclaimer stating that everything Rush says is satire and should never be taken seriously in any way.
By way of example,one should not arm one's self to the teeth and blow people away because Rush says Liberals are Terrorists and Communists.
"To me, truth is not some vague, foggy notion. Truth is real. And,

oh boohoo...Boss Limbaugh's gonna be hurt if he found out the MSM was calling him a liar...awww...lets not use strong words against this turd shine excuse for a human being. EF this noise...
when Rush calls CNN and other MSM, the drive by media and makes all kinds of misrepresentations against you, do you agree with him?
Rush Limbaugh = LIES, LIES, LIES, LIES.
It's not a strong enough word.
He's just twenty years late in his assessment.
Klein was right on the money , to call Limbaugh a liar is being too kind . Kurtz is just another suck up gutless ass wipe , no integrity at all , is what's wrong with the media today and has a lot to do with this country being in the state it's in .
I was disappointed that Wanda didn't get around to bringing up the subject of limpball's junkets to The Dominican Republic to have sex with children. I'm sure she wanted to.....
I think I'm turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so.....
should . . . just ask the question out loud and on air: what was rush doing in the Dominican Rebpublic? With Viagra? Just to say it. It's been said that two wrongs don't make a right. But in order for fairness the playing field has to be level . . .
have women in the DR?
It's pretty damned awesome - and just in time - that Liberals and Progressives are freely slamming the dunce right-wingers. For as long as I've been politically aware, Ls and Ps have been kind of quiet . . . not so "militant" vocally . . . been sort of bullied by the right-winger vomit spewers. I just hope the momentum keeps building.
An openly lesbian black woman gave those hateful bastards exactly what they deserved...zero mercy. We must keep smacking Conservatives in the face and reminding them that they are losers.

Everyone in the media will now want to hear from this lady...this is going to get good. Rush is going to find out what real comedy is.
Somewhere Richard Prior and Lenny Bruce will be laughing their dicks off.

"Lies" is a strong word, and should be saved for the more insidious lies, such as this one:

Howard Kurtz is a media "critic."
"I mean Romney is the most conservative on illegal immigration and I don't think Ronald Reagan could get elected in California today."
Ann "Clipped" Coulter
I'm glad that Klein called Rush the liar that he is, but Amato ignores and doesn't criticize Sykes' out-of-line joke about Rush missing the flight to be the 20th hijacker on 9/11 becuase he was so "strung up on oxycontin." Let's not be liberally biased here, John. Sykes is a good comedian but she got carried away at the WHCD. Even Robert Gibbs is now saying the White House and Obama don't approve of it.
was asking Gibbs about the President's reaction to a joke made by someone who was invited to make that joke by the White House Press Corps. It is their event, not the President's. Where is the accountablity?
"I mean Romney is the most conservative on illegal immigration and I don't think Ronald Reagan could get elected in California today."

This site had the video and transcript up on Saturday night. Heather's post, not John's, but on John's site.

Not perfectly logical, but a pretty funny way of making Rush take some of his own medicine.

Why yes, yes, he was. I think people can ask Syke's what she says to her critics, and I'll bet you money it's "bite me", and I think she's dead right on that.
..Press Secretary Gibbs said Sykes use of 9/11 not funny.

I think Kurtz thinks "lies" is a strong word because Kurtz, as always is too lame to call Hitler anything but "controversial". Kurta is so scared of offending anyone, especially on the Right, so as maybe they won't come on his show or maybe he'd offend conservative talk radio listeners. Kurtz thinks playing the middle means unbiased, when in reality is is cowardly and disingenuous journalism

One example:
LIMBAUGH: The [9-11 Commission] report said that Mohamed Atta did meet with an Iraqi Intelligence Agency, or agent, in Prague on April 9th of 2001. We've known this for a long time.
From the 9-11 Commission "Staff Statement 16":
We have examined the allegation that Atta met with an Iraqi intelligence officer in Prague on April 9. Based on the evidence available -- including investigation by Czech and U.S. authorities plus detainee reporting -- we do not believe that such a meeting occurred.
Maybe we goofed on the date or place. But it happened.
"I mean Romney is the most conservative on illegal immigration and I don't think Ronald Reagan could get elected in California today."
Ann "Clipped" Coulter
What line is this over?
"KURTZ: She talked about if he was successful, he would be seen as an African-American president. And if not, he'd be seen as some half-white guy. CARPENTER: Yes. Yes, I thought that was over the line."
Huh? What planet are these people on? Who is offended here? Not me.
Sure Sykes just sometimes got mean about Rush.... but she and we have a few things to be angry about ... ain't no law against it. Comedy isn't all jokes you know. Anyone can tell funnies. It takes a person with a conscience to call Rush a drug addicted terrorist supporter. You could tell that wasn't really part of her shtick, that was just where she stood there and said it as she felt it, and as anyone with a conscience would feel it.
That's the spice that makes the sugar taste better.
What in the world did anybody expect inviting Wanda Sykes to headline this thing? Have they never listened to her comedy before? I thought what she said was perfect, but then I've listened to (and immensely enjoyed!) her comedy for a long time now!
until now. She was good.
How long it will be before Klines employer will make him apologise?
But I doubt Joe would have said it if the word wasn't already out to take Rush down.
Remember, Joe Klein is owned.
There must be an interesting internal battle waging inside the MSM considering which way the wind is blowing in this country.
Time Warner is looking at Clear Channel's earnings and going in for a little expansion.

NOBODY 2012
I am shocked, shocked I tell you that there are lies and misinformation afoot!!!
statusquObama, change you can only pretend in
Klein was right on.. and when Kurtz said "lies is a strong word", I thought "what a tool"!
To the D.C. cocktail party circuit the word "liar" and "lies" is completely forbidden.
I hope the fat phuck's kidneys fail...
I also wish Wanda had mentioned Lori Klausitis, since I'm sure JoeScar was in the audience...
There is only one way to dispatch these callous asswipes: embarrasssment and humiliation, publically. Hold 'em up to ridicule.
Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke...
is it that everytime someone has the cahones to call out liars in the media while they are on a news show, they get rebutted by the news anchor? Why?
No one has pointed out that Sykes might have meant kidney failure from all the foreign (narcotic) substances that fat liar puts in his body.
That's just the truth. The Truth....THE TRUTH. I'd love to hear Carlin(white) or Richard Pryor (black) give their takes on Limbo... The way those two "told the truth" they'd have Flush out for the count in two-truths. Sykes rocked and was no way near the top and could have taken it higher...the viagra, the desire for little boys. Marla,his wife, dumping him because of his homosexuality. Just the thought of it is hilarious. Flush made himself the target. Just because the dumb ass republicans believe his crap doesn't mean 82% of the world has to. You go Wanda! That's Rich! Flush is just an entertainer. Or, for the left over old people: The Great White Dope! Just give him the business.
Dirty White Boy
What is up with these whiny children, we don't like the words that were used! - but Lie is too strong of a word (even when there is a ton of evidence to back that fact up!)
it didn't occur to me when she said it, i thought she was just referencing Rush's weight/health problems, but did anyone else see it as furthering the premise that Limbaugh's no diffent than Bin Ladin?
Just wondering if everyone got that and i'm just slow...
...nice hair, shame about the shrill banshee voice. She makes my ears bleed!
This bufoon we foolishly affectionately call "Howie" is not a cute cuddly toy, he is a major tool working for the enemy of 99% of us, corporate network news, faux news, and m$nbc. The big 3 village megaphones to keep us all in "line". I ignore anything this clown has to say as major propaganda.
Politics is for the present, but an equation is for eternity. Albert Einstein
This just in: Old, irrelevant Joe Klein believes that being the ten thousandth person to state the obvious is effective journalism.
You might interrupt his moment of ambivalent rebirth.
Or whatever these Macbethian tools use to justify their existence.
OUT OUT DAMN SPOT!
It must be especially horrific when you are the used little bi-atch of ever changing corporate masters.
to now tell the truth. No too long ago
it was Joe Kline who was telling lies
on a weekly basis as Cheney's cheerleader
for Iraq. But we all forget those things
just like we forget that Kurtz
surpassed even Kline in that department.
I'm glad to hear Kline call Limbaugh a liar
& that is not too strong a word for Mr media
watchdog Kurtz who is, after all, married
to a right wing media consultant & commentator.
How convenient is that?
It's been scrubbed/time ran out on bandwidth from WaPo but I have a very long memory and searched to find this evidence of what Howie noticed and more than likely got his ass kicked for. It concerns Judith Miller and Chalabi and a certain lack of protocol concerning the Pentagon’s Mobile Exploitation Team (MET) Alpha -- the unit charged with hunting down Saddam’s WMD.
Something rotten in Denmark? You betcha.
Here is Arianna: Arianna's concerns.
Stay tuned .................................... but
Don't hold your breath for Kurtz to have the stones to EVER address
the complete truth.
He is a Joke and not a journalist.
There is one place to go for truth about what is said by pundits and
media hounds.................MEDIA MATTERS. Kurtz should give the site a try. HA!
Strong words, but absolutely true that the Lard-Ass Limp-Dick is a habitual liar to the ignorant, uneducated sheep, he spits on and belittles daily.
I disagree. Especially when I think she is correct on that point. How can these "journalists" defend Limbaugh? He's a muck-racking "entertainer". How can they defend anyone that vile and bigoted? For them, I guess it boils down to who pays their checks. The whole argument that "it should have been more tasteful" is laughable itself. Comedians don't think about how to phrase their little kernels of truth in the most tactful, tasteful or diplomatic way. Since when has Rush Limbaugh ever observed such a dictum?
What planet is this bimbo on?
When anyone defends Rush Limbaugh for any reason, that person looks like nothing more, nothing less than a buffoon, especially when it's someone who is supposed to be a professional, like a "journalist". How pathetic.
