Media Matters: Caught with Their Pants Down Around Their Ankles--Again

Media Matters, a leftist, anti-American outfit has been busy today claiming Rush Limbaugh called soldiers against the war, "phony soldiers." Here is the transcript provided by Media Matters. Bottom line, Limbaugh was referring to Jesse MacBeth, the phony soldier the left paraded around supporting their anti-war agenda.

Media Matters, George Soros funded (and yes that matters, because Soros is anti-American and a leftist) still stands by their claim. Apparently, not only is the left unAmerican, but they can't read or listen very well either.

The ability to understand context, the ability to read, the ability to understand, and the ability to be truthful and honest are the traits of good people. To continue to lie and even post the transcript on your own site and still lie about it simply shows the limited mental capacity of those who work at Media Matters.

Here is the transcript:

[begin audio clip]

    LIMBAUGH: I -- it's not possible, intellectually, to follow these people.

    CALLER 2: No, it's not, and what's really funny is, they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and talk to the media.

    LIMBAUGH: The phony soldiers.

    CALLER 2: The phony soldiers. If you talk to a real soldier, they are proud to serve. They want to be over in Iraq. They understand their sacrifice, and they're willing to sacrifice for their country.

    LIMBAUGH: They joined to be in Iraq. They joined --

    CALLER 2: A lot of them -- the new kids, yeah.

    LIMBAUGH: Well, you --

    [begin Limbaugh edit]

        LIMBAUGH: -- know where you're going these days, the last four years, if you signed up. The odds are you're going there or Afghanistan or somewhere.

        CALLER 2: Exactly, sir. And, and my other comment was -- and the reason I was calling for -- was to report to Jill about the fact that we didn't, didn't find any weapons of mass destruction. Actually, we have found weapons of mass destruction in chemical agents that [inaudible] been using against us for awhile now.

        I've done two tours in Iraq. I just got back in June and there were many instances of -- since [inaudible] not know what they're using in their IEDs [improvised explosive devices]. They're using mustard artillery rounds. The VX artillery rounds in their IEDs.

        Because they didn't know what they were using, they didn't do it right, and so it just kind of -- it, it didn't really hurt anybody but there are -- those munitions are over there, it's just -- it's a huge desert. If they've buried it somewhere, we're never gonna find it.

        LIMBAUGH: Well, you know, that's a moot point for me right now --

        MIKE: Rush --

        LIMBAUGH: -- the weapons of mass destruction. We gotta get beyond that. We're, we're there. What -- who cares if, if -- we all know they were there and, and Mahmoud [Ahmadinejad, Iranian president] even admitted it in one of his speeches here about -- talkin' about Saddam using the poison mustard gas or whatever it is on his own people -- but that, that's moot, right? What, what's more important is all this is taking place now in the midst of the surge working.

        And all of these anti-war Democrats are getting even more hell-bent on pulling out of there, which means that success on the part of you and, and your colleagues over there is, is a great threat to them. 

    [end Limbaugh edit]

    LIMBAUGH: It's just, it's frustrating and maddening, and it is why they must be kept in the minority.

    Look, I want to thank you, Mike, for calling. I appreciate it very much. I gotta -- let me see -- got something -- here is a "Morning Update" that we did recently talking about fake soldiers. This is a story of who the left props up as heroes. And they have their celebrities.

    One of them was Jesse MacBeth. Now, he was a "corporal," I say in quotes -- 23 years old.

    [reading from "Morning Update" (subscription required)]

        What made Jesse MacBeth a hero to the anti-war crowd wasn't his Purple Heart. It wasn't his being affiliated with post traumatic stress disorder from tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, though. What made Jesse MacBeth, Army Ranger, a hero to the left was his courage in their view off the battlefield.

        Without regard to consequences, he told the world the abuses he had witnessed in Iraq: American soldiers killing unarmed civilians, hundreds of men, women, even children. In one gruesome account translated into Arabic and spread widely across the internet, Army Ranger Jesse MacBeth describes the horrors this way:

        'We would burn their bodies. We would hang their bodies from the rafters in the mosque.'

        Now, recently, Jesse MacBeth, a poster boy for the anti-war left, had his day in court, and you know what? He was sentenced to five months in jail and three years probation for falsifying a Department of Veterans Affairs' claim and his Army discharge record.

        He was in the Army. Jesse MacBeth was in the Army, folks, briefly -- 44-days before he washed out of boot camp. Jesse MacBeth isn't an Army Ranger. Never was. He isn't a corporal. Never was. He never won the Purple Heart and he was never in combat to witness the horrors he claimed to have seen." 

    You probably haven't even heard about this, and if you have, you haven't heard much about it. This doesn't fit the narrative and the template of the drive-by media and the Democrat [sic] Party as to who a genuine war hero is.

    Don't look for any retractions, by the way, not from the anti-war left, the anti-military drive-by media or the Arabic websites that spread Jesse MacBeth's lies about our troops, because the truth of the left is fiction, is what serves their purpose. They have to lie about such atrocities 'cause they can't find any that fit the template of the way they see the U.S. military.

    In other words, for the American anti-war left, the greatest inconvenience they face is the truth. 

[end audio clip]

I guess we on the right should be glad that the left has their intellectual shortcomings posted all over the web and the mainstream media as well. But what is scary, even with the transcript posted on their own website, they can't get the story right. No educated person could read the above transcript and come to any other conclusion than that Limbaugh is referring to the Jessie MacBeths or the Scott Beauchamps who, in the first case, wasn't even a soldier and in the second case made up stories about American atrocities.
