It’s just politics, a day at the office, for Republican propagandists like Michele Bachmann and Lucianne Goldberg, but the ridiculous lies they are spinning — especially their tale that Pres. Obama is a secret Muslim who directed the U.S. government to rig the election in Egypt — are having serious consequences on the ground:
Oxycontin-Addict Limbaugh Attacks Obama’s Casual Drug Use 30 Years Ago
There is no clearer sign that the attacks on Mitt Romney’s contradictory statements on his tenure at Bain Capital are working — on whether he was in charge when the company off-shored thousands of jobs, as he suggested in sworn testimony in June 2002 or whether he “retroactively resigned” from the company after taking a leave of absence in 1999 — than the fact that GOP’s most listened-to propagandist offered Romney this advice on what to say to the president:
RUSH LIMBAUGH: Look, pal, when I was out creating jobs, investing in businesses, and growing this economy, you were at Columbia smoking weed and snorting coke.
This is rich coming from Limbaugh, who, just three years ago, reached a deal with prosecutors related to charges he purchased 2,0000 Oxycontin tablets over a six months period, a practice that may have been going on for years. It’s possible that Limbaugh’s voracious gobbling of opiates may have cost him his hearing.
