Not the best website, but considering they actually mention facts in opposition there isn't much to argue about.

That's not even remotely what I was talking about either since these are far far more recent.

He's not like most pundits who just twist stuff, guy just outright makes stuff up.

Here is an even better list. These also the ones I weren't thinking of. It ammusingly goes off topic immediatly because there i just outright no defense for it.

I mean, that's why he gets so much viewership. You've got people who believe what he's making up, People who can't believe he's making it up and are listening because of that are pissed off, and people who just laugh their asses off at it.

I used to be in the third category. Actually a registered republican for those who want to play the "liberal bias" card.


Read the first line in the last link stating the Rush lied about James Madison's quote about the 10 commandments. Sorry, but after that lie about Rush, nothing else had any credibility from this source. Here is the qoute from James Madison from 1778.

“We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We’ve staked the future of all our political institutions upon our capacity…to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.” [1778 to the General Assembly of the State of Virginia]

 

"We didn't find anything in our files remotely like the sentiment expressed in the extract you sent to us," David B. Mattern, the associate editor of The Madison Papers, told the Kansas City Star (1/16/94). "In addition, the idea is entirely inconsistent with everything we know about Madison's views on religion and government."

So where'd you find this? Me. I trust the Library of Congress.

Very few websites actually have that "quote." Most of which probably actually quoting from Rush, believeing madison actually said it.

Of course if you have something in the Madison Papers that contradicts this...
