Limbaugh: Media will stifle Mitt at next debate
Lehrer, the moderator of last week’s presidential debate in Denver comes under continued fire from his professional colleagues, radio giant Rush Limbaugh is predicting a different tack by the media in charge of the next debate between President Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
“Here’s the thing to look out for. The thing to look out for is the moderator in the next debate,” Limbaugh said Tuesday afternoon.

…..Additionally, Bill O’Reilly on his 7/23 show reported the attorney for the Holmes family in San Diego commented the mother said, “You have the right person, I’m his mother.” Did the call come in the middle of the night? Did the mother fear something happened to her son? The media again conveniently left off the “I am his mother,” which suggested the mother may have been fearful something of this nature would happen.
Reporter Goes to CFA, Finds Astounding ‘Level of Hatred, Unfounded Fear, and Misinformed People’
The media-news site JimRomenesko.com reports on Facebook comments by Fort Myers (Fla.) News-Press reporter Mark Krzos, who summed up his disgust as he covered Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day: “Such a brave stand … eating a g-ddamn sandwich.”
“I have never felt so alien in my own country as I did today while covering the restaurant’s supporters.
The level of hatred, unfounded fear and misinformed people was astoundingly sad. I can’t even print some of the things people said,” he claimed. Then he bashed talk radio:

RUSH: Raleigh, North Carolina, this is Jay. Thanks for the call, sir. Great to have you here.
CALLER: Thanks for having me on, Rush.
RUSH: You bet.
CALLER: I just wanted to touch base with you in regards to what I saw. I went to a Chick-fil-A in Raleigh,
Carolina, today. It took me 20 minutes just to even get my order placed. It was packed full of exciting people and a lot of people there just excited to be there. I’ve been through that Chick-fil-A a lot. I’ve never seen it so crowded.
(Rush) World on Fire Over Batman and El Rushbo
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: It has been quite instructive. This has been very, very illustrative, ladies and gentlemen. Yesterday on this program I uttered some words about the new Batman movie, and the evil villain named Bane. I made some comments about it. Doesn’t matter what. I have had more reaction to that than anything, including the Fluke thing. I’ve had my brother telling me that Twitter is going nuts. I’ve been getting hateful e-mail, supportive e-mail. More people are concerned about whatever I might have said or didn’t say about a Batman villain than they are about their own jobs. It’s incredible. But, as I say, it’s quite instructive, and it’s quite illustrative.
I never said that the villain was created by the comic book character creator to be part of the 2012 campaign. I never said that at all. Everybody’s out there running around saying I got this giant conspiracy theory that the Batman people, the creators, the comic book creators, created this thing to campaign against Romney. I never said that. I didn’t say there was a conspiracy. I said the Democrats were going to use it, which they are. Jon Stewart‘s harping on it.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I even said yesterday at the end of my whole Batman discussion that Batman is more like Romney. I made the point that the rich, wealthy hero in the Batman movie is more like Romney and that the Bane guy seems more like an Occupy Wall Street guy. And yet here I am supposedly articulating a conspiracy between the comic book creators and the Obama campaign, that somehow they created this villain with the same name as Romney’s venture capital company, private equity company.
No. All I said yesterday was that the Democrats are going to try to make that linkage. I got our old buddy Jon Stewart here, in fact, doing the same. We got sound bites out the wazoo on this. Snerdley came in here, people were calling him at three o’clock in the morning, “You better tell Rush he’s got this all wrong. These guys are very conservative, these Batman creators, they’re very conservative.” This thing spread like wildlife. A comic book villain, a comic book character… A discussion about a comic book villain gets people more irritated and agitated than Obama’s assault on the private sector, than Obama’s assault on jobs.
Oh, and now the left is out there saying we took Obama out of context on this. “You’re not reporting on the sentence he said before. He was talking about you didn’t build the roads yourself.” You got a successful factory or successful business, you didn’t do that, you didn’t build the road. Okay, fine, if you want to make that claim. Somebody tell me, is having a road in front of your business what makes it a success? If having a road in front of your business, every business would be a roaring success. I don’t care how you leftists try to spin it, you’ve got a guy who deeply resents the private sector, deeply resents capitalism. He’s campaigning against capitalism. The president of the United States campaigning for reelection is running against capitalism, and you can try to mask that and deflect that all you want but the truth is the truth and it can’t be denied.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Yes, I know, Snerdley. The Batman thing, it is quite indicative, is it not? Snerdley said that it unglued him. He’s getting calls at two or three in the morning. “You tell Rush that he’s got this wrong.” You know, even the creator, Chuck Dixon, weighed in on it. I had a story in the stack yesterday but I didn’t get to it. One the creators, Chuck Dixon, said (paraphrased), “Oh, no. Oh, no. Now Rush is gonna call me a liberal again. Hell, I’m not a liberal. He called me this on the last Batman movie.”
These Batman movies thematically, if you look at them open-mindedly, tend to be conservative in terms of right and wrong/good and evil. But like I pointed out yesterday, Batman is Romney. The good guy’s Romney. This Bane character, I pointed out the spelling is different.

William Raspberry Obituaries Fail to Note Famous Change of Mind About Rush Limbaugh
Former Washington Post columnist William Raspberry has passed away. The obituaries in both the Post and the New York Times noted that while Raspberry was generally considered a liberal, he often expressed opinions that defied easy labels. Perhaps the most famous such case of an unconventional Raspberry column, which neither newspaper mentioned, was when he publicly changed his opinion of Rush Limbaugh after listening to his program. This was described through the years by Limbaugh as the Raspberry Effect:

A silver lining for conservatives in the Supreme Court’s health care decision Thursday is that the court allowed the law to stand based on the idea that the individual mandate was a tax.
That news has Republicans and conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh bringing out an old — and incorrect claim — that the health care law constitutes the largest tax increase ever.

RUSH: Rockville, Maryland. Hi, Barry. I’m glad you waited. You’re next on the EIB Network. Hello, sir.
CALLER: Yeah. Hey, listen, I am really honored to speak to you, Maha Rushie.
RUSH: Thank you, sir, very much.
CALLER: And mega Free Republic dittos from the People’s Republic of Maryland.
RUSH: Yes. I appreciate that.
CALLER: And let me just get to my point. I thought the Supremes gave us very clear instructions and a little bit of a warning when they upheld that part of the Arizona law. Look, if you or I are driving through Arizona and have a busted taillight and get pulled over, they’ve gotta occasionally ask people like you and me to show that we’re citizens or ask us where we’re born, et cetera, et cetera. They have to avoid profiling brown people that look and sound like they’re from Central America. They can’t do that. Then they’ll wind up back in court and they’ll lose. They’ve got to show documentation that they asked African-Americans who look and sound like Americans, white Americans –
Rush: Obama created crimes with gunrunning – ‘It was liberalism .. It’s who these people are’
Radio giant Rush Limbaugh is coming down hard on the Obama administration’s “Fast and Furious” operation today, calling it “liberalism on parade” in a misguided attempt to promote stricter gun control in America.
“The whole point of Fast and Furious was to create mayhem in Mexico among drug cartels with American-made weapons easily procured so that you and I would stand up in outrage and demand tighter gun laws,” Limbaugh said
