Rush Limbaugh meet Betty Casey
fc
the multi multi multi millionaire who trumped up a charity show based
on "smear". His style of putting down others to lift up Fatso is a
winner for his core of mega wealthy backers and a legion of gullible
grunts. Burnt out on attacking a 12 year old and then spinning that it
was the Democrats he was attacking. What better way to spin is there?
CHARITY! Become the ring master, show the world you love children who
have DEAD parents, it will say you love the troops if you love their
survivors. What better way to hate, do it with "love" and glorify the
ring master. He's even sharing some spotlight with the now infamous
Betty Casey ("a librul, swiftboated by a librul media"). Whatever
happened to the dead and maimed troops? Why did these children become
orpans?
When the money comes through, good for the children's $29,000,000.00
scholarship fund, is Fatso on the board of MC-LEF? The Marine Corps -
Law Enforcement Foundation: http://www.mc-lef.org/ Scholarship
assistance to children of Marines and Federal law enforcement
personnel whose parent dies on duty. Fatso has his own spin on some of
the duty parents die on. Is his war promo legit for a legit war? Or do
war profiteers gain on the backs of others and find ways to self
promote on the backs of their children?
Betty Casey, 80ish, has a past of her own. Her love of opera took her
to a World-famous Boston hospital and Massachusetts Eye & Ear
Infirmary. (Fatso, known for his ear problems is a coincidence?)
According to the Boston Globe, June 15, 2005 "Bad medicine"
http://www.boston.com/business/articles/2005/06/15/bad_medicine/
the so-called publicity-shy widow promised $2 million to fund cutting-
edge research. She is patron to Steven Zeitels, who has received
press over the years as a voice doctor to the stars whose patient list
includes Steven Tyler, Cher, and Julie Andrews. The Globe doesn't say
what the outcome of the lawsuit against Casey's foundation is for
reneging on part of that $2,000,000.00 donation. It appears she is
loyal to her patronal benefactors, a bit fickle and smitten with
celebrity. Not so sure she's still publicity shy.
"But it is a safe bet Betty Casey will be writing no more checks there
(Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary). Instead, Harvard Medical School
tomorrow will appoint Zeitels to the Eugene B. Casey chair in
laryngeal surgery. The cost to the Casey Foundation: $2.75 million."
Newsmeat lists a few of her donations
http://newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?city=POTOMAC&st=MD&last=CASEY&first=BETTY
Yes, she made $6,900.00 in donations to Barack Obama. Joe Lieberman,
too. Most of her good will goes to Republicans like David Vitter. The
grand political beneficiary to the RNC. One commenter points out
"She's given money to Obama, Rudy, Lazio, RNC etc. Seems like a foe of
Hillarys to say the least."
Fox News reports:
Limbaugh Letter Fetches $2.1 Million on eBay Sunday, October 21,
2007
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,303569,00.html
"The Eugene B. Casey Foundation believes freedom of speech is a basic
right of every citizen of this country. Their purchase of the smear
letter was to demonstrate their belief in this right and to support
Rush Limbaugh, his views and his continued education of us."
Which leads to the "phony" soldier incident that put this in motion.
It must have got to Betty to see her icon "mistreated" in the librul
media. She takes freedom of speech serious. Dead parents and orphans
benefit, too.
There's more to learn about Betty. This Washington Post Thursday, July
8, 2004 article http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A33744-2004Jul7.html
Bought for The Mayor, Sold After A Snit is just another small piece of
the puzzle.
"First came the collapse of philanthropist Betty Casey's controversial
2001 plan to spend $50 million on a grand mayoral mansion on
Washington's Foxhall Road."
With her life under a microscope and a $294 million (in its latest IRS
filing) foundation, she'll certainly come through with a meager $2
million for the sake of Fatso's freedom of speech and PR campaign to
show he loves orphans and dead parents. (keep some perspective on what
$2 million is to mega wealth, not what you might keep in your mattress
for a rainy day, think of David Copperfields loose change).
If I was in Fatso's shoes I'd keep my viagra and all connections
http://www.policelink.com/news/articles/6142-airport-employees-accused-of-drug-trafficking-scheme
, you never can tell.
The bidding list on Ebay does look dubious. Found here

if Rush "Smear" site is shuttered soon, it comes and goes.. maybe
heavy traffic http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=260170172469
All the 61 bids were r***c, d***r, n***l EXCEPT bettyc588
Winning bid:US $2,100,100.00
Bidders:61 Total Bids:213
........Time Ended:Oct-19-07 10:00:00 PDT
........LAST BID: Oct-19-07 09:32:25 PDT
Poor people usually have a last minute bidding war. This is an elite
auction. I heard it's been paid for by a no limit card? A rumor.. but
these are not 61 minor multi multi multi millionaires and
billionaires.. ALL THE BIDDERS HAD TO HAVE A NO LIMIT CREDIT CARD?
Most of the people I know couldn't qualify to participate in such an
exclusive show. How many libruls were in the game will no doubt remain
a secret so we won't know how political it is.
I'm fine with the super rich donating and getting tax rewards and good
PR when they deserve it. And giving to their political passions,
freedom of speech or benefiting favorite icons, as long as it's legal
and transparent. A charity drive based on "smear" is an unsavory start
but glad if the orphans gets at least 80% of the $4.2 million. ("I
hope someone does monitor the charity. A good charity will give out
80%+ of the funds collected. Others, bad charities, keep 80% or more
of the funds collected and dispense 20% or less.")
* * * * * * * *
I know Fatso is an attention grabber, is anyone giving more attention
to this:
"Given the growing number of veterans with PTSD, the U.S. Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA), Congress, and the research community
urgently need to take steps to overcome the problems that often plague
studies of psychiatric therapies for PTSD, and to ensure the right
studies are undertaken to yield data that would help clinicians treat
PTSD sufferers, said the committee that wrote the report."
Effectiveness Of Most PTSD Therapies Is Uncertain
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/10/071018123518.htm
Without effective care, troubled Veterans turn to self medicating. A
multitude of problems and costs effect children and communities.

I don't listen to commercial radio. I've try to catch up on the "phony
soldiers" incident. (send transcript links to 12 year old incident,
I've only seen video of Fatso) I use Fatso as a compliment to Laura
Schlessinger, it's a word she's used, and why would Fatso care if it's
used a 1,000 times? What language does he repeat, repeat, repeat?
Fatso, Fatso, Fatso. Lighten up. I'm not even a Democrat, ye of little
humor cemented in preconceived notions. Betty Casey fights for my free
speech, too. I was looking for a comprehensive "right wing" take on
the "phony soldiers" incident. Not same old rhetoric. Media Matters
has a transcript, http://mediamatters.org/items/200709270010?f=h_top
Is there another transcript to read, if so, leave a link.

TRANSCRIPT:
>From the September 26 broadcast of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush
Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: Mike in Chicago, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.
CALLER 1: Hi Rush, how you doing today?
LIMBAUGH: I'm fine sir, thank you.
CALLER 1: Good. Why is it that you always just accuse the
Democrats of being against the war and suggest that there are
absolutely no Republicans that could possibly be against the war?
LIMBAUGH: Well, who are these Republicans? I can think of Chuck
Hagel, and I can think of Gordon Smith, two Republican senators, but
they don't want to lose the war like the Democrats do. I can't think
of -- who are the Republicans in the anti-war movement?
CALLER 1: I'm just -- I'm not talking about the senators. I'm
talking about the general public -- like you accuse the public of all
the Democrats of being, you know, wanting to lose, but --
LIMBAUGH: Oh, come on! Here we go again. I uttered a truth, and
you can't handle it, so you gotta call here and change the subject.
How come I'm not also hitting Republicans? I don't know a single
Republican or conservative, Mike, who wants to pull out of Iraq in
defeat. The Democrats have made the last four years about that
specifically.
CALLER 1: Well, I am a Republican, and I've listened to you for a
long time, and you're right on a lot of things, but I do believe that
we should pull out of Iraq. I don't think it's winnable. And I'm not a
Democrat, but I just -- sometimes you've got to cut the losses.
LIMBAUGH: Well, you -- you --
CALLER 1: I mean, sometimes you really gotta know when you're
wrong.
LIMBAUGH: Well, yeah, you do. I'm not wrong on this. The worst
thing that can happen is losing this, flying out of there, waving the
white flag. Do you have --
CALLER 1: Oh, I'm not saying that. I'm not saying anything like
that, but, you know --
LIMBAUGH: Well, of course you are.
CALLER 1: No, I'm not.
LIMBAUGH: Bill, the truth is -- the truth is the truth, Mike.
CALLER 1: We did what we were supposed to do, OK. We got rid of
Saddam Hussein. We got rid of a lot of the terrorists. Let them run
their country --
LIMBAUGH: Oh, good lord! Good lord.
CALLER 1: How long is it gonna -- how long do you think we're
going to have to be there for them to take care of that?
LIMBAUGH: Mike --
CALLER 1: How long -- you know -- what is it?
LIMBAUGH: Mike --
CALLER 1: What is it?
LIMBAUGH: Mike, you can't possibly be a Republican.
CALLER 1: I am.
LIMBAUGH: You are -- you are --
CALLER 1: I am definitely a Republican.
LIMBAUGH: You can't be a Republican. You are --
CALLER 1: Oh, I am definitely a Republican.
LIMBAUGH: You are tarnishing the reputation, 'cause you sound just
like a Democrat.
CALLER 1: No, but --
LIMBAUGH: The answer to your question --
CALLER 1: -- seriously, how long do we have to stay there --
LIMBAUGH: As long as it takes!
CALLER 1: -- to win it? How long?
LIMBAUGH: As long as it takes! It is very serious.
CALLER 1: And that is what?
LIMBAUGH: This is the United States of America at war with
Islamofascists. We stay as long -- just like your job. You do
everything you have to do, whatever it takes to get it done, if you
take it seriously.
CALLER 1: So then you say we need to stay there forever --
LIMBAUGH: I -- it won't --
CALLER 1: -- because that's what it'll take.
LIMBAUGH: No, Bill, or Mike -- I'm sorry. I'm confusing you with
the guy from Texas.
CALLER 1: See, I -- I've used to be military, OK? And I am a
Republican.
LIMBAUGH: Yeah. Yeah.
CALLER 1: And I do live [inaudible] but --
LIMBAUGH: Right. Right. Right, I know.
CALLER 1: -- you know, really -- I want you to be saying how long
it's gonna take.
LIMBAUGH: And I, by the way, used to walk on the moon!
CALLER 1: How long do we have to stay there?
LIMBAUGH: You're not listening to what I say. You can't possibly
be a Republican. I'm answering every question. That's not what you
want to hear, so it's not even penetrating your little wall of armor
you've got built up.
LIMBAUGH: Another Mike, this one in Olympia, Washington. Welcome
to the EIB Network. Hello.
CALLER 2: Hi Rush, thanks for taking my call.
LIMBAUGH: You bet.
CALLER 2: I have a retort to Mike in Chicago, because I am a
serving American military, in the Army. I've been serving for 14
years, very proudly.
LIMBAUGH: Thank you, sir.
CALLER 2: And, you know, I'm one of the few that joined the Army
to serve my country, I'm proud to say, not for the money or anything
like that. What I would like to retort to is that, if we pull -- what
these people don't understand is if we pull out of Iraq right now,
which is about impossible because of all the stuff that's over there,
it'd take us at least a year to pull everything back out of Iraq, then
Iraq itself would collapse, and we'd have to go right back over there
within a year or so. And --
LIMBAUGH: There's a lot more than that that they don't understand.
They can't even -- if -- the next guy that calls here, I'm gonna ask
him: Why should we pull -- what is the imperative for pulling out?
What's in it for the United States to pull out? They can't -- I don't
think they have an answer for that other than, "Well, we just gotta
bring the troops home."
CALLER 2: Yeah, and, you know what --
LIMBAUGH: "Save the -- keep the troops safe" or whatever. I --
it's not possible, intellectually, to follow these people.
CALLER 2: No, it's not, and what's really funny is, they never
talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up
out of the blue and talk to the media.
LIMBAUGH: The phony soldiers.
CALLER 2: The phony soldiers. If you talk to a real soldier, they
are proud to serve. They want to be over in Iraq. They understand
their sacrifice, and they're willing to sacrifice for their country.
LIMBAUGH: They joined to be in Iraq. They joined --
CALLER 2: A lot of them -- the new kids, yeah.
LIMBAUGH: Well, you know where you're going these days, the last
four years, if you signed up. The odds are you're going there or
Afghanistan or somewhere.
CALLER 2: Exactly, sir.

Rush Limbaugh's Little Joke Very Costly
http://greenleegazette.blogspot.com/2007/10/rush-limbaughs-little-joke-very-costly.html
Image from source, NYTimes.com
I've marveled several times on this site, how strange it is that the
very same story can be seen in two very different ways by
conservatives and liberals. When it comes to the Rush Limbaugh "phony
soldiers" story, it didn't matter where the truth actually lay (in
this case, the truth supported the left's interpretation), the right
held firm, and does to this day.
Rush's contention that his "phony soldiers" comment only applied to a
certain type of individual--and one in particular, Jesse Macbeth--is
not supported by the evidence. As the original (full) transcript
showed, Rush was calling anti-war soldiers who had been contacted by
the mainstream media "phony soldiers." Jesse Macbeth was not in that
category, to my knowledge, and Rush himself didn't bring him up until
a couple of minutes later on his show.
Ah, but regardless of the truth, Limbaugh is running with his side of
the story. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, in a tit-for-tat move to
counter the condemnation of MoveOn.org, condemned Limbaugh's words in
a letter to Clear Channel (Limbaugh's employer). Limbaugh in turn,
saying that the Clear Channel president is a good friend, obtained the
letter and put it on eBay. Proceeds were to go to charity (one that
Limbaugh directs), and Limbaugh pledged to match the final bid
himself.
The sale finished at $2.1 million, which--I'd imagine--is a lot higher
than Limbaugh expected. Since he is the director of the charity, it
might be a good idea to keep an eye on his half of the $4.2 million
donation!
* * * * * * * *
CALLER 2: Yeah, and, you know what --
LIMBAUGH: "Save the -- keep the troops safe" or whatever. I --
it's not possible, intellectually, to follow these people.
CALLER 2: No, it's not, and what's really funny is, they never
talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up
out of the blue and talk to the media.
LIMBAUGH: The phony soldiers.
CALLER 2: The phony soldiers. If you talk to a real soldier, they
are proud to serve. They want to be over in Iraq. They understand
their sacrifice, and they're willing to sacrifice for their country.
LIMBAUGH: They joined to be in Iraq. They joined --
CALLER 2: A lot of them -- the new kids, yeah.
LIMBAUGH: Well, you know where you're going these days, the last
four years, if you signed up. The odds are you're going there or
Afghanistan or somewhere.
CALLER 2: Exactly, sir.

I bet the Democrats are pissed off at Rush Limbaugh because he took
Harry Reid's letter and shoved it up Reid's ass.
