Are Conservatives scared to tell Rush Limbaugh to STFU or does he really represent Conservative values in America?

RUSH: After 26 years of being misquoted, purposely taken out of context, misreported upon, lied about, some of this stuff now is beginning to get to the point I need to comment on it. Most days I just let it go by, not wanting to elevate it. But what the left, and particularly the leftist media, is attempting to do in twisting my comments about the Robin Williams suicide yesterday cannot go unnoticed.

In fact, I didn't even know that I was on the hot seat 'til I got an e-mail about 20 minutes ago about all the crap I was getting. I said, "What crap?" I was sent a series of links all spawned by Media Matters.

Media Matters took it all out of context and then fed all these other outlets, and they ran with it. The upshot is that all of these media people think I am just a reprobate, a cold, heartless guy because I accused Robin Williams of committing suicide because he was a liberal. And I did no such thing.

I don't know why he committed suicide. This is my point. And neither do they.

They are the ones trying to tell us why. They are the ones trying to explain it. They are the ones justifying it.

They are the ones glorifying it. What I did yesterday was express some real concern over the fact that the way they are glorifying this -- and I made this clear that I'm not comfortable with the glorification of suicide. Life is too precious.

We all only get one. And I was worried about this, the coverage of all this leading to copycats, people wanting to get the same kind of treatment in the media, in the pop culture media. People seeking the same kind of laudatory coverage, greatness, genius, all of this stuff.

I thought it was irresponsible the way this was being covered yesterday because they don't know, either, why he committed suicide. So what I did was analyze the coverage, which is what I do every day on this program, is analyze who the left is. I didn't presume to know why Robin Williams committed suicide.

I didn't know yesterday, and I don't know today. But they do. They claim to know.

All these people giving me the business claim they know why. And it was that that I was analyzing. Now, I want to go back.

We have about two and a half minutes of what I said yesterday. I want to replay it for you, even though you were here and heard it. This is what's being taken out of context, and, as you will hear, this is about media coverage and my analysis of it and ancillary, related things.

But all of these low-rent, despicable, irresponsible, pathetic so-called media watchdogs on the left are trying to make it sound like I said that Robin Williams gave up because he was a liberal, and he's hopelessly doomed to misery and despair because that's what liberals are devoted to. And I said no such thing. Here's what I said yesterday that's being totally distorted, taken out of context -- and predictably so, by the way.

I should have known yesterday. I should have given you a heads-up it was gonna happen. Here it is.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
