Judy Doucette: Still a magnificently incompetent liar

Fresh from her spectacular crash-and-burn when she tried to invent a provision of the US Flag Code that didn’t exist, Judy Doucette aka ‘HoosierArmyMom’ has decided that her blog needs a fresh infusion of mendacity:

This site is trying to pull people into signing a petition to silence Rush Limbaugh. This inability to allow and opposing viewpoint to be expressed is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind. I guess if they could find a way to debunk facts, they wouldn’t be in such a furor to silence him. Even when I used to have a very negative view of Rush, I never felt he should be silenced, as I considered it amusing to listen to the “other side”.

Hmmmm. Golly, has the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee really posted a petition demanding that Rush Limbaugh be silenced? I guess Judy thought that no one would ever be so “mentally disordered” as to check her claim against the facts. Let’s go look at the link she gave:

Stand Strong Against Rush Limbaugh

WATCH THE OUTRAGEOUS VIDEO AND SIGN THE PETITION >> 

DCCC Executive Director Brian Wolff sent the following message to DCCC supporters:

Dear Friend,

Last week, Rush Limbaugh gave us a preview of the outrageous Republican attacks that are on the way against President Obama and every Democrat working for change. Rush actually said that he ‘hopes’ President Obama fails to meet America’s challenges.

Listen to Rush in his own words, saying “I hope he fails.”

Limbaugh’s cheap shot at President Obama might be the first by the Republican attack machine this year but we know that it won’t be the last.

We need every grassroots Democrat to show Rush Limbaugh and all of the Republicans what they’re up against if they start attacking President Obama and Democrats who are working to end the failed GOP policies of the last eight years.

Tell Rush what you think of his attacks on President Obama. We’ll send him your comments.

Jobs, health care, our place in the world — the stakes for our nation are high and every American needs President Obama to succeed. Creating real change requires every American stand strong against Rush Limbaugh’s attacks — and all of the other partisan attacks from desperate Republicans that are on the way.

Let’s start right here and now.

Brian Wolff
Executive Director, DCCC

The final link in Wolff’s message leads to the page where comments are being collected. The text on that page reads:

Last week, Rush Limbaugh actually said that he “hopes” President Obama fails to meet America’s challenges.

Jobs, health care, our place in the world — the stakes for our nation are high and every American needs President Obama to succeed.

Stand strong against Rush Limbaugh’s Attacks — sign our petition, telling Rush what you think of his attacks on President Obama. We’ll send Limbaugh your comments.

Notice anything missing from those pages? Read them again, carefully.

That’s right. Nowhere does the DCCC call for Rush to be ‘silenced’. All that they say is that they “send [Limbaugh] your comments”. That’s it. In the freakishly warped world of far-right whackaloons, disagreeing with them is exactly the same thing as trying to silence them. That’s how fearful of dissent they are.

Judy, do you really believe that your constant distortions and outright lies are helping your cause and your credibility?

UPDATE 01/30/09 7:16 AM EST: Judy has posted a 900-word whinefest, complaining that I have the audacity to point out the facts to her, and that I then fail to trumpet her eventual realization that the universe isn’t reordering itself to conform to her fantasy world. Especially amusing is her plaintive mewling about “intelligent debate”. It is a mystery why anyone should believe that Judy Doucette has any interest at all in “intelligent debate” when, time after time after time, she spews invective first, and only checks her facts later, if at all.
