It isn't a lie. CNN reported it was a hired impersonator. It doesn't particularly matter, as the voice is clearly designed to be viewed as Hagan's voice. Whether or not the person was a hired impersonator, the result is the exact same. It isn't Hagan. It isn't her statement. It isn't her belief.



At least some Republicans can be honest about this!

Tex, keep on fightin' the good fight! It is mavericky of you to stick up for this filth when even Rollins won't!

I repeat, I did not defend the ad. I simply clarified your claim that it was a hired impersonator.

Meanwhile, you STILL defend the Obama ad, even though those Limbaugh statements were clearly out of context.

How can you say they're not comparable? Obama's ad was a flat out lie. You're saying that this ad with Dole is a lie, correct?

The link to your post was nothing but an Obama apologist's take on it. The ad was full of lies and you played your typical "yeah, but McCain does this" game.
There is nothing inappropriate about the characterization of Limbaugh's statements on immigration. The inappropriate aspect of the Obama commercial was attributing those statements to McCain. At the end of the day, it was a distortion of McCain's immigration policy and belief.

That is a pretty far cry from calling your opponent Godless and pretending that your opponent said "There is no God" when clearly she never did. Obama's ad never claimed McCain spoke the words uttered by McCain. It connected Limbaugh to McCain. Lots of political ads contain distortions. Lots of political ads are unfair. Few actually put out a voice which leads the viewer to believe it is the voice of your opponent, saying "There is no God." There is a pretty significant difference in the degree of the offense. If you can't see it, well, that would be pretty Tex-ish of you.

Limbaugh's statements aren't out of context. He is a bigot.

Take a stand, Tex. You say you didn't defend the ad. Are you going to condemn it? Will matter meet anti-matter? This should be fun. Go ahead and post your definition of socialism, while you are at it.

It's quite amusing you keep insisting this, despite the evidence. It's like watching someone insist the sky is green.

And then you get mad at me for correcting your false statement. Heh.

Here's the full context of the "shut your mouth" quote:

Quote:
Everybody's making immigration proposals these days. Let me add mine to the mix. Call it the Limbaugh Laws…

First, if you emigrate to our country you have to speak the native language. You have to be a professional or an investor. No unskilled workers allowed. Also there will be no special bilingual programs in the schools with the Limbaugh Laws, no special ballots for elections, no government business will be conducted in your language, foreigners will not have the right to vote or hold political office.

If you're in our country, you cannot be a burden to taxpayers. You are not entitled to welfare, food stamps, or other government goodies. You can come if you invest here an amount equal to 40,000 times the daily minimum wage. If not, stay home. But if you want to buy land it's going to be restricted. No waterfront, for instance. As a foreigner, you must relinquish individual rights to the property.

And another thing, you don't have the right to protest. You're allowed no demonstrations, no foreign flag waving, no political organizing, no bad-mouthing our president or his policies. You're a foreigner, either shut your mouth or get out. And if you come here illegally, you're going to jail.

You think the Limbaugh Laws are harsh? Well, every one of these laws I just mentioned are actual laws of Mexico today. That's how the Mexican government handles immigrants in their country, yet Mexicans come here illegally and protest in our streets. How do you say double standard in Spanish?
Clearly, Limbaugh is parodying Mexican law. In other words, "shut your mouth or get out" is what Mexicans say to their foreigners.

I suppose I should be surprised that Cali can't "get" this, but with his law degree and all, I thought he could read.

Let's see if you can admit you were wrong about the impersonator.

Just like your lies about Drudge linking "old" polling data.

Tex doesn't believe in God.

How could I "admit" anything about the impersonator? I wasn't there. I am not wrong CNN reported it. You have a different source. Why is your source necessarily right and CNN necessarily wrong? I have no idea whose voice it is. I do know what CNN has said. Are you suggesting some sort of knowledge beyond what has been reported?

Drudge did link old polling data (no need for the quotes, it was old). See my earlier posts for helpful links.

Why must you be Godless? (note: this attack is beyond the pale for most of the civilized world, but Tex thinks it is well within bounds, and I am just trying to speak his language here)
