Urban Legends Web Site Pummels Limbaugh's Pimpled Ass
Snopes.com, the internet urban legends site, tore into El Rushbo for his dissembling over his Vietnam era status. Snopes cited the transcript I did of the now-famous conversation with Greg from Orlando to illustrate Limbaugh's deception. Snopes is a valuable web site that has debunked many of the false claims from the hard right. For instance, if you read The Final Days by Barbara Olson (R-Hell), you would be treated to the following urban legend passed off as truth: “Some even noticed that when Clinton was President, Marine guards failed to execute a right face to stand facing his back as he walked away. The Marines somehow relearned this maneuver on January 20, 2001, when the new Commander-in-Chief, President George W. Bush, took office.” Snopes is one of the sites that pointed out that this was pure crap. Snopes also debunks the infamous Clinton Body Count, a loony conspiracy theory that Bill Clinton is responsible for murdering dozens of political enemies; the Clinton Body Count is a favorite paranoid fantasy of the Freepers and Scaife-funded whores like Joseph Farah (best known for his Scaife-funded theories about Vince Foster's death). Snopes also smashed to pieces a piece of hate put forth by another Scaife-funded whore, Christopher Ruddy, whose NewsMax.com smeared Hillary Clinton by claiming she refused to meet with a group of mothers whose sons were killed in combat. The contemporary right's worldview is nothing more than a mishmash of urban legends and discarded ideologies such as creationism and those of the old Confederacy.
