During the March 5 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade falsely asserted that President Obama has proposed eliminating the ability of taxpayers to take income tax deductions for their charitable contributions. Kilmeade claimed that the Obama administration has proposed "getting rid of the deduction for charitable donations." In fact, Obama has not proposed eliminating the charitable donation income tax deduction for any taxpayers. Rather, a provision in Obama's budget proposal would, beginning in fiscal year 2011, reduce the tax rate at which families earning more than $250,000 per year can take itemized deductions to 28 percent.

Kilmeade's false suggestion echoes a false claim made by Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) without challenge during the March 1 edition of CNN's State of the Union and uncritically reported in a March 2 USA Today article.

And because the lies just keep on coming....here's another article

Rush Limbaugh claimed during his February 27 morning radio update that "[t]he Obama budget ... funds the relentless drive toward socialized medicine" -- a statement that is neither accurate nor original. In fact, as the Urban Institute wrote in an April 2008 analysis, "socialized medicine involves government financing and direct provision of health care services," and therefore, progressive health-care reform proposals do not "fit this description." The analysis also noted: "Similar rhetoric was used to defeat national health care reform proposals in the 1990s and, with less success, to argue against the creation of Medicare in the 1960s." Indeed, a Media Matters for America analysis found that dating as far back as the 1930s -- with respect to at least 16 different reform initiatives -- conservatives have attempted to smear those proposals by calling them "socialized medicine" or a step toward that inevitable result.

These reform efforts include President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's consideration of government health insurance when crafting the 1935 Social Security bill; President Lyndon Johnson's 1965 amendment to the Social Security Act establishing Medicare; President Bill Clinton and first lady Hillary Clinton's health-care initiative in 1993 and 1994; the creation of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) in 1997, as well as its 2007 reauthorization and 2009 expansion; Barack Obama's and Hillary Clinton's health-care proposals during the 2008 presidential campaign; health information technology provisions included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009; and health-care provisions included in President Obama's fiscal year 2010 budget blueprint.

thanks for all the info luvin
i am going back to something i read elsewhere, seems that rush challenged obama to a debate on his show, of course he refused and repubicians are jumping for joy saying obama is afraid of rush

here is my take on this.....obama is the president, why the he!! would he waste his time on a debate with a talk show host?????? i think he has allot more things on his mind than rush lumbaugh, people need to move on, OBAMA WON!!!!!!!

if anyone is interested in huge obama bumper stickers this site is great

Here's what I'm thinking...the job of the Chairperson of a political party is to articulate the vision of the party, and recruit new members. So does that sound more like Michael Steele or Rush Limbaugh?

So if Limbaugh is articulating the vision of the party, and is working to recruit new members my question is this:
Does the Republican Party need an intervention or an exorcism?
