Rush "Phony Soldier" Limpdick Smears 12 YO Boy Hit By Car, Then Pretends To Not Have Smeared Him |

After Calling Graeme Frost A Liar, Limbaugh Asserts ‘I Never Once
Attacked This Family’ »
On his radio show earlier this month, Rush Limbaugh participated in
the smearing of 12-year old SCHIP recipient Graeme Frost. Limbaugh
introduced the segment, saying: “I had some rudimentary information on
this two weeks ago, and it wasn’t enough for me to trust going with.
But since then, it has been verified, and most of it’s been verified
by a ‘Freeper’ at Free Republic.”
Limbaugh propagated the now-debunked claim that Graeme Frost was
actually a well-off kid being pampered by the government. He then
explicitly called Graeme a liar who had been corrupted by the Senate
Democratic Leadership:
So the bottom line for me is: They can’t rely on truth to make
their case for their cause. They have to lie. […] They send the kid
out to lie. They filled this kid’s head with lies just as they have
some of these soldiers about me.
Now that the right-wing smear campaign against Graeme has been proven
to be completely baseless, Limbaugh is desperately trying to revise
history. Last night on Hannity & Colmes, Limbaugh claimed he “never
attacked” the Frost family:
I never once attacked this family. I attacked the Democrats for
exploiting them. I attacked the Democrats for putting lies into the
head of a 12-year-old. […] The Democrats are amazingly brazen in this
at using kids, using season citizens. I never attacked this family. I
simply reported what their financial circumstances are.
During the segment, Limbaugh also sneeringly mocked Graeme by taking
on the voice of a 12-year old child. Watch it:
Limbaugh never apologized for his role in misreporting the family’s
financial circumstances. Rush now claims that Graeme’s big “lie” is
that he wanted to “make the American people think that they would not
get covered because Bush didn’t want to expand the program.” It’s
true. The Congressional Budget Office reports more than 700,000
children will lose coverage under Bush’s proposal.
