Thanks, Kev. ou can see the Rusher really softened his tone once he saw the rest of the pictures. The fact that pictures of rape and murder exist but have not been made public has been a matter of public knowledge since Seymour Hersh's article came out almost a week prior to the 5/10 Limbaugh show, but of the President doesn't read the paper, why would Rush?

Here's bit more text from the same show.

"How many of you went out to social occasions over the weekend and this subject, this story came up? And how many of you wanted to really say, "I don't see the big deal here. This is war. These are people who tried to kill Americans." But you didn't say it or some variation of that because you were afraid because you were with a bunch of people who were start yelling at you that you for being insensitive or coarse or crude or whatever, so you said what you thought you had to say in order to get along during a controversial situation if this conversation came up wherever you were. How many of you did that? How many of you did that? Admit it to yourself you don't have to raise your hands out there. I'm not, we're not counting hands out there. I want you to think about it because the fact of the matter is I think that's what most people are doing. I think most peo --that's where my optimism and faith in the people of this country remains steadfast. I don't think most people are that outraged by this. I don't thi -- let's put it this way, I don't think the public outrage nowhere near matches what we watched on television on Friday and yesterday exhibited by these holier than thou sanctimonious elected officials who are themselves acting and saying what they think you their voters want them to say and what you their voters expect to hear. ..."



So there you have it, Nalds. Limbaugh said
" And how many of you wanted to really say, "I don't see the big deal here."

On May 10'th. He could have seen any photos you had by the tim he said that. Not only does he think it's no big deal, his assumption (his, not mine) is that most people feel this way. Not most conservtives, and I don't think most conservatives feel this way, but most people.

What do you think, Nalds? Do you see the big deal here?

See, I thought to myself, Rush being Rush, I bet having seen all the photos he hasn't changed his mind very much. So here's hat I did. I went and checked. That's what Kev did too. That's what I do when I want to know something. I don't declaim, I don't rely on 'common sense' and what everybody knows, I check the record. That's one of the great things about freedom of the press, we as Americans have access to the record.
