Here is a transcript of Rush Limbaugh repeating Liz Cheney's lie that President Bush honored fallen troops at Dover Air Base.

"Rush forwards Liz Cheney falsehood about Bush honoring fallen troops

After the commercial break, Rush said that we're living in an "age of insanity" because a Washington Post reporter was able to stop an ABC viral marketing campaign over concerns of pollution.
Then Rush took a caller who asked about Obama's visit to Dover Air Base to honor the troops who had been killed in Afghanistan.
Rush said the event gives us an insight into the "sick mind," "Marxist mind,
perhaps fascist mind?" of Obama. Rush continued:

LIMBAUGH: Lookit, Obama -- the White House is busy, they're playing defense. They're responding
to things, and the criticism of his dithering in Afghanistan
by Vice President Cheney and a number of others made him very sensitive. He doesn't care
about it -- you're exactly right. He --
obviously, he now has a problem with his own strategy that he implemented in
March. And he doesn't know what to do about it because really
he doesn't care about winning over there, but he does have a -- he can't afford -- he's commander in chief.

If he's gonna pull off the rest of his agenda, he's got to make as many people believe that he is as
traditional a president as anybody else. So, as a Democrat, he already has got the image of weak on defense. He already is
on record as having sought defeat in Iraq, but now he's the president.

Then Rush
went over the comments
that Liz Cheney had on this subject the other day. After airing the sound bite,
Rush said:

LIMBAUGH: Amen. That's Liz Cheney yesterday on the
syndicated Fox News Radio John Gibson Show. President Bush used to do
it, did you know that? We didn't know it -- she just told us something we
didn't know. Bush used to do it, but there were no cameras. He did it privately
with the family. Look, folks, you gotta understand leftists are propagandists,
they live by photo op and so forth.

But Bush never went to a homecoming for the fallen troops -- with or without the press. As TPM's David Kurtz quipped: "Liz Cheney says George W. Bush showed more class
than Barack Obama when he honored fallen troops -- because Bush didn't bring
cameras along with him when he never went
to Dover AFB."

The next
caller on the show asked Rush what he thought about the first-time homebuyers
tax credit. Rush said that it amounted to putting people in homes they can't
afford, buying votes, and growing government. Rush added that programs like
this seem nice in a recession, but the flawed aspect of it is that your
neighbors are essentially paying for your $8,000 tax credit.

After
another break, Rush read about Edmunds' "big news"
this week about cash for clunkers. Rush said part of the phony GDP growth was
attributed to cash for clunkers and the first-time homebuyer tax credits. He
noted the White House was pushing back on Edmunds' report, and proceeded to
rant:

LIMBAUGH: So now the White House is going to war with a website. And they're saying -- you know, some people here even on the left are, "What in the world are they doing?" Well, because when the propagandists are called on their lies, when politicians are called on their lies, whoever's doing the calling is going to pay for it when you have tyrannical-type control freaks running the show."
