Regardless of what the [b]facts[/b] are, the slander and libel will not
stop. Your [b]facts[/b] have been repeatedly shown to be false
[b]even[/b] by the Independent Counsel -- Richard Starr
Indeed I said it the fans of Rush and Ann, when it point of fact on the
August 23 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, Ann Coulter asserted:
"[I]f you attack the Clintons publicly, make sure all your friends know
that you are not planning suicide, that you're not careless when you
drive a car." This statement has been repeated and amplified by the
neocon press into the Clinton's murder Foster and covered it up. In
point of fact Rush Limbaugh, during his March 10, 1994 radio broadcast,
announced the following in urgent tones:
"OK, folks, I think I got enough information here to tell you about the
contents of this fax that I got. Brace yourselves. This fax contains
information that I have just been told will appear in a newsletter to
Morgan Stanley sales personnel this afternoon.... What it is is a bit of
news which says... there's a Washington consulting firm that has
scheduled the release of a report that will appear, it will be
published, that claims that Vince Foster was murdered in an apartment
owned by Hillary Clinton, and the body was then taken to Fort Marcy
Park."
After he returned from a commercial break, Limbaugh began referring to
the story as a "rumor," but continued to claim that the story was that
"the Vince Foster suicide was not a suicide."
Limbaugh was referring to an item in a newsletter put out by the
Washington, D.C. firm of Johnson Smick International. The newsletter,
relating a rumor that has no apparent basis in fact, reported that White
House attorney Foster's suicide occurred in an apartment owned by White
House associates, and that his body was moved to the park where it was
found.
Limbaugh took this baseless rumor from a small insiders' newsletter and
broadcast it to his radio audience of millions, adding his own new
inaccuracies: The newsletter did not report--as Limbaugh claimed--that
Foster was murdered, or that the apartment was owned by Hillary Rodham
Clinton.
Since then the same baseless rumors and lies continue to be spread by
the likes of WorldNetDaily and Jerry Falwell. In 1997 Independent
counsel Kenneth Starr has concluded that presidential aide Vincent
Foster was not murdered and that President Bill Clinton and the first
lady were not involved in a coverup.
