You know that old movie about the aging big game hunter who’s spent years stalking one particular lion, but has never managed to bring the magnificent beast down? There’s nothing he wants more than that lion’s head hanging on his wall. It’s become a personal battle and the hunter’s failure has made him bitter, angry, and obsessed.
In this case, think of Media Matters as the hunter and Rush Limbaugh as the lion.
The crazy old left wing hunters want nothing more than to destroy Rush Limbaugh’s career by catching him uttering racist words so offensive that they can be used to turn public opinion against the talk show host.
So Media Matters waits, hiding in the bushes, waiting for Limbaugh to expose himself so they can get a clear shot. So far, they’ve missed every time.
Media Matter’s Karl Frisch tells listener-starved liberal talk show host Stephanie Miller exactly what they want:
Frisch: You have to wait every couple of weeks for Rush Limbaugh. I don’t know if he goes off his medication or something, but for him to get really down in the dirt racist, it only happens every couple of weeks, whether its bend over and grab her ankles cause his father was black, or calling him (Obama) a Halfican American, or playing Barack the Magic Negro, that stuff doesn’t happen every day. But it’s as if there’s a little beaker inside of Rush Limbaugh that fills up with racist venom until it just can’t take it anymore and it explodes all over the place.
Miller: Yeah, right. His blow-out preventer is faulty in that sense.
The problem here is that anyone who’s ever listened to Limbaugh knows he doesn’t have a racist bone in his body.
But the even larger problem is that anyone who’s ever listened to the people at Media Matters know they don’t have a funny bone in their bodies.
