re: #594 Charles
Right — on one side you have a writer for The Nation, on the other you have a race-baiting extremist with a long history of ugly commentary.
As I wrote, I don’t know which one to believe, but I’m certainly not going to just take Rush Limbaugh’s word for it.
Guilty until proven innocent? Rush can’t prove he didn’t say it, no one can. As long as you and others throw out quotes of dubious origin, Rush will be able to cry foul and say, “See, they are just making stuff up.” Rush could probably sue Huberman for libel, though it is hard for public figures to win those kinds of cases. Using these quotes from Huberman to smear Rush only weakens your legitimate case.
