Mocking and imitating handicapped or disabled persons appears to be a specialty of rush. He did a great job of mocking and imitating Michael J. Fox in 2006 and gave the Democrats control of the Senate by helping an incumbent republican lose. Since this worked so well for him, rush is now mocking a 12 year old boy with brain damage and a paralyzed vocal cord. http://www.newshounds.us/2007/10/19/rush_limbaugh_mocks_12_yearold_schip_advocate_whil e_claiming_never_to_have_attacked_him.phpDuring Colmes’ turn, he brought up Limbaugh's attacks on the Frost family. You have attacked people like the family, for example, of Graeme Frost… Should this family be the victim of barbs from anybody because they’re trying to do best for their kid?”
Limbaugh insisted, “No, Alan, that’s an interesting question. I never once attacked this family. I attacked the Democrats for exploiting them. I attacked the Democrats for putting lies into the head of a 12-year old.” So was Limbaugh saying that Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi or someone like that coerced the family into doing the ad? Limbaugh's website, where he complains that the family is well off, made choices to invest in property rather than healthcare, makes the family sound like charlatans, not victims.
Then, just as he was insisting he was not smearing the family, Limbaugh began to mock the child. “A 12-year old they send out before microphones and cameras, to sit there and say, (he did a derisive, sneering imitation of a child's voice) ‘I only want health care for the rest of American children like I got and George Bush is against…’ A 12 year-old can’t write that garbage.So rush lies about attacking this family and telling lies about the financial condition of this family (in effect accusing them of welfare fraud), then lies about these attacks and to top things off, rush then mocks the speech pattern of a 12 year old boy who suffered brain damage and has paralyzed vocal cords. Here is more on rush's latest lies and his mocking of a 12 year old boy. http://thinkprogress.org/2007/10/19/limbaugh-liar-graeme/Limbaugh propagated the now-debunked claim that Graeme Frost was actually a well-off kid being pampered by the government. He then explicitly called Graeme a liar who had been corrupted by the Senate Democratic Leadership:So the bottom line for me is: They can’t rely on truth to make their case for their cause. They have to lie. […] They send the kid out to lie. They filled this kid’s head with lies just as they have some of these soldiers about me.Now that the right-wing smear campaign against Graeme has been proven to be completely baseless, Limbaugh is desperately trying to revise history. Last night on Hannity & Colmes, Limbaugh claimed he “never attacked” the Frost family:I never once attacked this family. I attacked the Democrats for exploiting them. I attacked the Democrats for putting lies into the head of a 12-year-old. […] The Democrats are amazingly brazen in this at using kids, using season citizens. I never attacked this family. I simply reported what their financial circumstances are.
During the segment, Limbaugh also sneeringly mocked Graeme by taking on the voice of a 12-year old child. By going to this article, you can watch rush's latest acting job where he mocks a 12 year old boy with brain damage and mocks the speech pattern of this 12 year old which is caused by paralyzed vocal cords
Countdown also had the video of rush mocking the 12 year old boy on the show tonight. After watching rush, I just though that this is just as sick and disgusting as rush's attacks on Michael J. Fox.
