Gordon Liddy advised listeners not to register their firearms, saying: "The first thing you do is, no matter what law they pass, do not -- repeat, not -- ever register any of your firearms." http://mediamatters.org/items/200811140012 Fri, 14 Nov 2008 18:49:39 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200811060005 Beyond the echelon of widely known conservative radio hosts with national audiences lies a vast network of lesser-known syndicated and regional radio hosts who have become key components of an echo chamber for conservative talking points and falsehoods. Like their better-known counterparts, these syndicated and regional radio hosts have played active roles this election season in promoting falsehoods and smears in an all-out effort to foment hate and distrust among their listeners for President-elect Barack Obama. While the hosts vary in the degree of vitriol they spew and in their ratio of rebuttable falsehoods to unbridled smears, <em>Media Matters for America </em>and <em>Colorado Media Matters</em> have identified common themes that many, if not all, have promoted over the past year. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200811060005 Thu, 6 Nov 2008 12:37:03 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200810230020 Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh, and Jerome Corsi suggested or asserted that the true purpose of Sen. Barack Obama's current trip to Hawaii is not to visit his ailing grandmother, as Obama claims, but rather to address rumors -- widely debunked -- that Obama has failed to produce a valid U.S. birth certificate. However, in addition to FactCheck.org and a Hawaiian Health Department official, even Corsi's employer, the right-wing website WorldNetDaily, has reportedly determined that the birth certificate provided by the Obama campaign is authentic. http://mediamatters.org/items/200810230020 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 22:13:46 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200810090017 On his radio program, G. Gordon Liddy discussed the detention of Jerome Corsi in Kenya and aired a sketch in which he said: "We've used the satellite connection to Kenya, and we are now focusing in on the trial of Dr. Jerome Corsi. ... [H]e's being accused of impersonating a human being. My Zulu's not -- not as good as Obama's, but -- yeah, they're really upset with him. You can probably tell." Liddy then aired a clip apparently from the 1950 movie <em>King Solomon's Mines</em>, which featured characters speaking in Kinyarwanda (not Zulu), one of the official languages of Rwanda, and playing music on drums. http://mediamatters.org/items/200810090017 Thu, 9 Oct 2008 17:46:00 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200809180017 On his radio show, G. Gordon Liddy and his guest, <em>Obama Nation</em> author Jerome Corsi, each repeated the discredited claim that Sen. Barack Obama has not produced a birth certificate establishing his U.S. citizenship. In fact, FactCheck.org reported that the Obama campaign provided its staff with Obama's original birth certificate and concluded that it "meets all of the requirements from the State Department for proving U.S. citizenship," and even WorldNetDaily.com, the right-wing website for which Corsi works as a staff reporter, has reported that a "WND investigation into Obama's birth certificate utilizing forgery experts also found the document to be authentic." http://mediamatters.org/items/200809180017 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 16:14:31 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200809160021 Since the release of an Obama campaign ad asserting that Sen. John McCain "admits he still doesn't know how to use a computer, can't send an email," several Fox News figures and talk-radio hosts have claimed that McCain doesn't use a computer or email because of injuries he sustained during his service in the Vietnam War. But the McCain campaign itself did not make this claim in response to the ad, reportedly responding that "John McCain travels with a laptop." http://mediamatters.org/items/200809160021 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:05:44 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200809160009 On his radio show, G. Gordon Liddy again falsely claimed that Sen. Barack Obama does not "have a birth certificate to show that he was born in Hawaii." In fact, the Obama campaign has released Obama's birth certificate and reportedly provided the original to FactCheck.org, whose staff said that they "have now seen, touched, examined and photographed the original birth certificate" indicating that Obama was born in the United States. http://mediamatters.org/items/200809160009 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 13:28:37 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200809110018 On his radio show, G. Gordon Liddy hosted self-described former terrorist Walid Shoebat to advance the false claim that Sen. Barack Obama, whom Shoebat said would be "extremely dangerous" as president, is a Muslim. Liddy also did not challenge Shoebat's false claim that Hamas supports Obama. http://mediamatters.org/items/200809110018 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 17:52:25 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200809100028 Conservative talk radio hosts have recently seized on comments Sen. Barack Obama made on ABC's <em>This Week</em> in order to suggest that the comments prove Obama is really a Muslim, not a Christian. http://mediamatters.org/items/200809100028 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:04:15 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200806060004 On his radio show, G. Gordon Liddy claimed that undocumented immigrants from Mexico come to the United States and "want to fly the Mexican flag" and "want to speak Spanish" instead of learning English. Liddy then stated: "They want to reconquer America, they say." http://mediamatters.org/items/200806060004 Fri, 6 Jun 2008 16:37:16 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200607060003 Now that right-wing pundit Ann Coulter has been accused of numerous instances of plagiarism, will the many media outlets on which she has made recent appearances to promote her latest book continue to provide her with a platform to shout her twisted rants, and if so, will they confront her with these charges? http://mediamatters.org/items/200607060003 Thu, 6 Jul 2006 12:51:46 EST
