Call to arms: Now Limbaugh using Novak's lie about Dean....
Please contact him and Novak through Media Matters. If we can't get together enough people to be annoying and contact them about this, then we have lost. He quoted Novak on March 1, who was lying about Dean.

Limbaugh aired Novak's misquote of Dean

On the same day that Media Matters for America noted that syndicated columnist and CNN host Robert Novak had misquoted Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean for the second time in three days, nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh aired Novak's misquote on the March 1 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show. CNN host Judy Woodruff corrected Novak's error hours later on the March 1 edition of CNN's Inside Politics; Limbaugh failed to acknowledge the correction on March 2.

Limbaugh used Novak's misquote to claim that Dean "admitted" that he believes the Bush administration's claim that Social Security is "a big problem"

Dean said that even in 30 years Social Security would still pay 80% even without any fixing....they said he said it would lost 80%. He did not say that. It is all at Media Matters.

I swear I think we have already lost our country to idiots like Novak and Limbaugh.

1. If OxyRush didn't use the Traitor's lies, he'd make up one of his own,
like he did for his pal Gannon Gukert.

2. Shout the Big Lie, whisper the correction (if any)
Here how it works:

Conservative X say Y - a demonstratable falsehood

Rush Limbaugh repeats it
Sean Hannity repeats it
Bill O'Reilly repeats it
Michael Savage repeats it
Mike Gallagher repeats it
Dennis Prager repeats it
Hugh Hewitt repeats it
Larry Elder repeats it
Lars Larson repeats it
Brit Hume repeats it
Michael Medved repeats it
Ann Coulter repeats it
Laura Ingrahamn repeats it

THEN

MediaMatters.Org posts a page clearly demonstrating the falsehood

Chirp Chirp Crick Crick

5. Maybe it would help if we got organized.
And contacted through the links offered by Media Matters. I think they do a good job.

4. That's good.
Let them misquote with impunity. That is a very good idea.

6. oxyrush makes a living telling lies..
he won't be in any hurry to correct it.

What incentive do they have for telling the truth?..absolutely nothing!

HOpefully, Dean will come up with a way to get his real message out..and in the meantime we can barrage the media with our corrections.
