Limbaugh defended his and Mehlman's Kerry distortion with falsehood
Nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh defended his recent distortion of Sen. John Kerry's (D-MA) comments from the December 4 broadcast of CBS's Face the Nation by falsely claiming he "simply rebroadcast what he [Kerry] said." On Face the Nation, Kerry said: "[T]here is no reason ... that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the -- of -- the historical customs, religious customs." Limbaugh, however, went beyond "simply rebroadcast[ing]" Kerry's comments -- he falsely claimed Kerry called American troops in Iraq "terrorists." Limbaugh also defended Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman, who appeared on CNN's The Situation Room on December 6 and joined Limbaugh in claiming Kerry "compared American troops to terrorists."

By contrast, the Associated Press article on Bush's speech clearly noted this disclosure.
