Limbaugh Confused About "Producers"
|
July 30th, 2009
|
18:12 minutes (8.33 MB)
He seems to think that the people who get the income are the "producers." What of the people actually turning the wrenches, swinging the hammers, and working the shovels? For our last show before my sabbatical to finish the film, this is definitely a "don't miss."

"Take Care Of Working People And They'll Take Care Of You" The minimum wage goes up today, amid standard issue conservative predictions of "job loss." There is no data to substantiate that tired, worn-out prediction.

Limbaugh Lie: Healthcare Will Lead To 58 Percent Tax Rates
|
July 20th, 2009
|
12:45 minutes (5.84 MB)
He kinda says that Obama's healthcare system will lead to 58 percent tax rates. He doesn't quite say it, but I'm betting that's what his listeners heard -- which is what he meant them to hear. Which is why it's a lie -- rebutted by his own numbers.

"Principled" Conservatives -- such as they are -- call for a boycott of "socialist" General Motors. General Motors is a Limbaugh advertiser. Guess who Limbaugh sides with. Plus the first of a series of what may be many Limbaugh "repeat-until-true" montages.

"Teabaggers And Spending." For eight years, the Bush administration doubled the national debt with nary a peep out of the teabaggers. Now they're outraged -- outraged I tell you -- over "wasteful government spending."

Limbaugh Lie: "We Conservatives Love People"

Why, they love you so much, they're willing to do absolutely nothing for you -- and to get postively deranged that so much as ten cents of their tax dollars was "wasted" on some undeserving minority. I wonder if they know the ethnic identity of most recipients of public assistance.
