UPDATED to change "sadistically magnetic" to "masochistically magnetic"--I was the one strangely enjoying the pain...
I happened to be reading the Media Matters post on this latest Limbaugh Lie--that Democrats used a PDF format to post the stimulus bill because it can't be searched (!)--while MSNBC's Countdown was on in the background and I heard Keith Olbermann mention it.
Here's my slightly off-topic but related $0.02.
Over the weekend I clicked on a Drudge Report headline which asked, "What's the Rush?" and linked to a poorly-written, pointless New York Post item criticizing Obama's President's Day weekend getaway, attempting to suggest the stimulus bill couldn't have been that important if the president and his family left Washington prior to his signing of the legislation.
"Poorly-written" and "pointless" applies to almost everything in the New York Post, but it was the 500+ reader comments from the heavy concentration of Limbots that proved masochistically magnetic.
It read like an uninterrupted army of deranged, clueless fools spouting off about--among other things--the stimulus bill that "nobody can read because it's too long!" (seriously), the Fairness Doctrine, Obama's "missing" birth certificate, ACORN funding in the stimulus bill (which doesn't exist), funding for mice in Nancy Pelosi's district, numerous attacks on Henrietta Hughes--the homeless Florida woman who reached out to President Obama for help--America's slide to either socialism or communism (very popular!), more hand-wringing on Obama's religion (still!), and the repetition of porkulus, porkulus, porkulus--the GOP Confederacy's newest, bestest word. It's a Limbaugh original--the conflation of pork and stimulus.
Making words up doesn't mean they make sense.
The point I'm getting at is that this Idiot's Army wrote in the same lingo using the same phraseology as Head A-Hole El Rushbo.
Perhaps none of 'em are smart enough to search a PDF, and I'll double-down that most also believe this latest Limbaugh lie.
They couldn't have heard how to maneuver a search from Limbaugh, because their Pied Piper scam-man isn't smart enough to figure it out, either.
And providing the stimulus bill in PDF form so that Rush Limbaugh can't figure out how to search its contents, ladies and gentleman, must mean the Democrats didn't want us to see the bill!
