Jake Tapper took it upon himself to fact-check this down to the atomic level,
an effort sufficiently righteous (and gratuitous, given his pedigree)
to warrant some extra traffic. So rather than blather about it myself,
I’m going to send you over there for all the details. First, though,
let me set you up with the transcript
of this rancid piece of race-baiting shinola, which manages to smear
first Limbaugh and then McCain in the course of an identity politics
appeal so shameless that even the amnesty demagogues at the RNC would blush.
Exit question: What’s the bigger lie here, the nutroots-worthy
distortions of what Limbaugh said or the suggestion that Rush Limbaugh
and John McCain,
of all people, are fellow travelers on the topic of immigration? Or is
it rather the idea that Maverick, who two days ago reaffirmed his
desire to push comprehensive immigration reform on his first day in office, has somehow “abandoned” the amnesty lobby?
