And that means what exactly? That rush is telling the truth? That Rush isn't a liar?

No he didnt.. but dont stop lying while you accuse others of doing so...

He asked if donating through whitehouse.gov would end you on a mailing list for his campaigns..

Yes he did. You'd know that if you either read the damn thread or listened to the link I provided. Oh wait, I see you're incapable of clicking through to links and actually checking the content for yourself. . .

There, I fixed the text that auto-filled so it reflects the content of the audio. Since you're too damn lazy to follow links and just want to comment on random titles as if that was the extent of the content, let me make it easier for you.

Roger Ebert got the exchange between Rush Limbaugh and Justin from Raleigh, North Carolina correct. So all you have to do is READ IT IN THIS VERY THREAD, WHERE I HAVE POSTED IT REPEATEDLY.

I have seen you post it repeatedly and have listed and read the links, but what you proclaim your link says, it doesnt.

Its funny now the number of people that have told you that it doesnt say what you proclaim, but you keep saying it does..

Sorry Jill, I see no lie...actually nothing is "there" there.

He asked a couple questions that approx 1/2 the voting public would be asking - those that distrust obama and his intentions.

No need for hysterics and personal attacks. I have listened to the audio, same as reading your transcript...it's just not there, how you and Roger interpret it.

No lie...at all.

Just opinion, shared by MILLIONS of those opposed and suspicious of obama.

Stop lying. The exchange between Limbaugh and the caller is accurately portrayed in Ebert's letter.

Now, you can keep lying and pretending that Limbaugh didn't tell the caller that he shouldn't trust the whitehouse.gov website to go through for making donations because the money might not actually get to Haiti, and that going through whitehouse.gov to make a donation might put you on a mailing list, but that won't make it any less of a lie from you or anyone else in this thread who is claiming the same.

There is no "interpretation", just plain fact.

"Justin of Raleigh, North Carolina: "Why does Obama say if you want to donate some money, you could go to whitehouse.gov to direct you how to do so? If I wanted to donate to the Red Cross, why do I have to go to the White House page to donate?"

"Limbaugh: "Exactly. Would you trust the money's gonna go to Haiti?""


This is why I have repeatedly asked you what it means when you see this message when you follow a link on a website, in this case, the White House website:



It's really, really, mind-numbingly simple. It means that you are leaving the White House web page and going to a completely different web site on a completely different server.

Since you won't be entering any data whatsoever while you're on whitehouse.gov, there is no way that they can put you on an email list and no way IN HELL that they can direct, let alone MISDIRECT ANY of your money, SINCE IT'S NOT BEING SUBMITTED TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

Now, do you want to go on playing stupid and pretending that you don't know this?

Yes kind of like those phishing scams.

I'm sure it's all squeeky safe, but your personal info can be scalped in many ways on the internet.

I'd rather donate to the Red Cross directly, but that is my personal preference. You do what you need to do.
