Limbaugh says the US invasion of Iraq is "different" from Russian incursion into Georgia. It seems we asked the UN for permission. Limbaugh forgot about the UN's answer.

Limbaugh On The War In Georgia
|
August 12th, 2008
|
4:22 minutes (2 MB)
Waxing paranoid about the new Russian menace, he forgets who's been in charge during their military build-up. [This show is salvaged. I lost most of it -- irretrievably, it turns out. Sorry.]

Limbaugh Lie Extravaganza
|
July 25th, 2008
|
26:11 minutes (11.99 MB)
Limbaugh was in rare form yesterday, offering and historically challenged view of American entry into World War II, accusing Democrats of "wanting" the problems Republicans have created. Oh, and making an ass of himself listening to Obama's Berlin Speech.

Obama wraps up a magnificently successful overseas trip -- the one McCain fairly begged him to take. Later, two callers give a demonstration of the power of local talk radio to bring people together. Through it all, we do a "Limbaugh Lie Extravaganza."

Limbaugh Admits Bush/McCain Not Leaving Iraq Regardless Of Any "Victory."
|
July 24th, 2008
|
10:46 minutes (4.94 MB)
It took three days, but he finally responds to Al Maliki's statement supporting Obama's withdrawal plan. It seems Al Maliki just hangs around the green zone, and isn't to be taken seriously. Better to listen to Iraqi generals -- the one's who say the US needs to stay another 12 years.

Today's word is "zugzwang" -- a chess position where a player cannot move without destroying his own position. It is the place you seek to put political opponents. Today, we furnish some examples -- including Limbaugh's admission of his real goal in Iraq.

Today's word is "narrative," and we deconstruct rightwing rightwing narratives on "appeasement" and other fearmongering. Note on streaming: It's fixed, with a new url at the live stream link. Hat tip to Gegner and Angel of Mercy who sent me the very same solution, simultaneously.
