Adam Andrzejewski: Shamelessly promoting what didn't happen
02/02/10
Having already disproved the idiocy that Glenn Beck endorsed Adam Andrzejewski or even "highlighted" his campaign, let us now turn our attention to the other "endorsement", or "feature", or "highlight", or whatever they want to call it that has Adam and his minions bursting at the seams: Rush Limbaugh.
If you go check out National Review, you'll probably see this web ad:
"The Scott Brown of Illinois" is a label that everyone is trying wear right now. And I'm sure there is one candidate that's being described that way. Maybe several. But it's not clear that Rush was actually speaking of Adam.
Like the aforementioned Beck incident, this, too, just. didn't. happen. At least not nearly the way Adam's people are portraying it.
Listen to the audio of Rush that Adam's campaign (yes, this is how tone-deaf and delusional they are) provided yesterday:
Just as with Glenn Beck, Rush is highlighting the comments Lech Walesa about America's declining role as a beacon of freedom in the world and diminished capacity as a military and economic power. Citing Adam was merely contextual.
As for the Scott Brown portion, my friend Blake Dvorak over at The Voting Booth is spot on:
Notice what Limbaugh actually says: "There's a particular candidate that's being described as the Scott Brown of his race." [Emphasis added.] Not to split hairs, but that's a bit different than Limbaugh saying "He is the Scott Brown of Illinois," as has been reported.
That's not splitting hairs in the slightest. That's a wholly accurate summation from Rush's comments. It's not even remotely clear that he's speaking of Adam, and frankly, if you've been following the IL races, it's much more likely that he's speaking of Pat Hughes bid for the US Senate against Mark Kirk. And if Rush did mean Adam, since he'd just mentioned his name — well, mispronounced it — and played audio from an event where Walesa endorsed Adam, then why not state it specifically rather than cloak it in secrecy? It's not like Rush is usually shy with what he means.
For Adam and his fact-immune acolytes to even be running this ad using Limbaugh's likeness just further demonstrates my summation stated in my earlier exposition about the supposed "feature" on the Glenn Beck Program as accurate — They are completely feckless and utterly shameless.
