      What Rush and the rest of the talking heads are saying today about Mr. Obama and the cameras completely ignores the fact that Obama is not the one who okayed nor requested the cameras. Under the new rules, cameras are allowed ONLY if the family approves of it. One family asked for and approved the use of cameras. Obama had nothing to do with the cameras.

      Nice talking point for the mindless Rushbots and Foxbots, but simply not true.

      Bush NEVER went to Dover, cameras or no cameras.

      Contemporary reports indicate Bush 43 shied away from the coffins lest he show preferences. Inmore than one occasion it was indicated Bush 43 id not want to bring attention to grieving families. We just have a ifferent president now.

        MMfA lying again. Rush was referring to a clip of Liz Cheney making that statement. If you had actally listened to the clip instead of running with your talking point headline, you would have heard that.

          And if Rush had done HIS homework, he would have know that Liz Cheney mis-spoke - Bush NEVER went to Dover to meet the caskets - and he wouldn't have aired the clip.

          Once again, you righties are wrong.

            When you double down on a lie, it doesn't become the truth. Double negatives don't work that way.

          Marco, to my knowledge, isn't MMFA. MMFA posted the videoclip wherein Rush REPEATED Liz Cheney's lie and wherein he tacitly agreed with said lie.

          Rush stated several lies in this clip . . . the headline could have been any of those lies.

          They popped up indeed and did indeed fail in their defense. Rush lies again.

      Bush met with families, he never went to Dover to witness the upshot of his incompetence firsthand.

      Okay...Rushawronga...Liz Cheney did not say Bush ever went to Dover...she said he honored the troops in private...which is yet another lie...he went to Walter Reed and NO WH POOL CAMERAS ARE ALLOWED...but Bush has still photos from his visit.
      I know that Limbaugh is profoundly deaf...it's the profoundly stupid part that exhausts everyone.
      PS Did he mention that his Alaska Dreamgirl is taking 100K to show up in Iowa? How about her trashy family laundry being aired? Anything? Ever?

      George W. Bush didn't just go to Dover without cameras. He went without George W. Bush.

        I can sort of understand the reasoning that W used to NOT go to Dover to see our fallen soldiers coming back from overseas. He did meet with families quite often (ones that agreed with him only of course), and even though I believe W to be an awful President, I'm pretty sure he felt the impact of the men and women who died under his watch.
