Item Description for Original Harry Reid/Rush Limbaugh Smear Letter:
When “Dingy Harry” Reid and the U.S. Senate turned away from the business of the nation to instead smear a private citizen, forty-one of them sent a letter demanding the “repudiation” of their inaccurate interpretation of Rush Limbaugh’s comments about Jesse Al-Zaid (a.k.a. Jesse MacBeth) and other “phony soldiers” who falsify their service. This letter was delivered to Mark Mays of Clear Channel Communications, Rush Limbaugh’s syndication partner, and widely quoted in the Drive-By Media.
Up for auction is the original letter signed by 41 Democrat senators. This historic document may well represent the first time in the history of America that this large a group of U.S. senators attempted to demonize a private citizen by lying about his views. As such, it is a priceless memento of the folly of Harry Reid and his 40 senatorial co-signers.
The entire proceeds of this auction.. the entire high bid… will be donated to The Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation, a registered charity which provides financial assistance to the children of fallen Marines and federal law enforcement officers. Rush Limbaugh serves on the Board of this organization and has been active on its behalf. All costs of this auction will be paid by the seller… every dollar of your winning bid will go to this charity, which has to date distributed over $29 million.
Rush first publicly displayed this letter on the night of October 11th during a speech in Philadelphia, having a security operative carry it on stage, with the letter itself safely encased in a Halliburton Attache case handcuffed to the agent’s right wrist. Included in this auction is that same Halliburton briefcase, as well as a personal letter from Rush Limbaugh, thanking the winning bidder for his donation. The special handcuffs may not be distributed outside of law enforcement and security officers, and thus are not included in this auction.
As winning bidder, you get:
- The original and infamous “Harry Reid Smear” letter, signed by 41 Democat senators
- The Halliburton briefcase in which this letter is secured 24 hours a day
- A personal letter of thanks from the Man Who Runs America, Rush Limbaugh
- A photograph of Rush displaying the letter on stage in Philadelphia on October 11th

I think it’s funny that it only took eight bids to get up to 15,000. I wish I had 16,000. THose 41 are the worst of the worst.
October 12th, 2007 at 9:16 pmRush also challenged the 41 to match the highest bid to show their support for the military, don’t hold your breathe.
October 12th, 2007 at 9:57 pmHat tip to Rush!
The money goes to The Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation.

October 13th, 2007 at 1:24 amLooks like Limbaugh is still having a little fun at Hary Weed’s expense. I wonder if any of those 41 phony Americans would care to contribute to such a worthy cause to show their support to the military as much as Limbaugh always has? Hmmm? ya think? Nah…never happen.
October 13th, 2007 at 2:40 amI love Rush
October 13th, 2007 at 5:10 amOne of the highlights of my life. Not that I’m bragging, but, yea, I’m bragging. I was in the audience at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia when he first announced this. I’d been gripping in my presently nicotine stained fingers the ticket to the show for a month and a half. Living in Philadelphia one rarely gets to be in such a large crowd of rational people.
October 13th, 2007 at 5:31 amI’m very jealous John! I hope that I’ll get to go to one of his speeches.
October 13th, 2007 at 6:09 amLOVE THIS!!!
Just hope they corrected the two “the”s in the second line - sorry, I’m a typo-freak…
What a GREAT cause this is going for…
October 13th, 2007 at 8:14 amMatt, think of it more like being in the radio studio watching him do the show live. Ninety minutes commercial-free.
October 13th, 2007 at 1:12 pmlatest bid, $44,300
October 14th, 2007 at 10:31 pm[…] of running: Harry Reid may want to start running, along with Clinton, Schumer et […]
October 15th, 2007 at 4:19 pmHoly Toledo! Rush said he’s going to match the bid, so that’s at least a $1,022,000 donation to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation. I wish I could afford to bid. It’s a great charity. Ha, ha, ha, ha…this is fantastic. I’ll bet those politicians are steamed.
October 18th, 2007 at 1:35 pmAll I have to say is:
Lemonade, baby…lemonade.
October 18th, 2007 at 1:38 pmRush just taught the rest of the freedom loving crowd a very valuable lesson when combating libs or the faux Peace Loving religion. The Repubs should get a clue.
Always be on the offensive, be prepared to get down and dirty to beat them at their own game, and never ever forget that laughing and mocking libs is a most effective weapon.
October 18th, 2007 at 2:01 pmBid is now $851,000 on Ebay: that’s $1,702,000 for “you folks in Rio Linda,” as Rush would say. Wow.
October 18th, 2007 at 2:09 pmPlease do not forget that Rush is personally matching the winning bid. So if it sales for 100K, a total of 200K will be given to the charity.

October 18th, 2007 at 2:19 pmRush looks like a BAMF in that picture
October 18th, 2007 at 2:35 pmphony soldiers includes tom harkin of iowa ,, he said he is a viet nam vet and never made it there,,he used the lie to get elected to the senate,, b4 he was found out,,,
October 18th, 2007 at 2:57 pmI would love to know who much the people, who can’t afford 1 million plus, donated to the charity.
October 18th, 2007 at 3:15 pm
October 18th, 2007 at 3:23 pmWOW!! This has doubled and then some since I listened to Rush at work today. Great news for the charity for sure.
Okay, Bash has his hands full today with the site and with scouring through the daycare toys looking for Chinese lead. Here’s one that needs a look-see.
The Code Pink gals are in need of some Pepto …
SHOWDOWN in BERKELEY - First pictures !

October 18th, 2007 at 3:55 pmGigadittos to Rush!
Good for him and the highest bidder that they will put this letter–which represents the DemocRat Senate’s attempt to curb the freedom of speech and livelihood of a private citizen, on our dime while they’re supposed to be doing the Nation’s business–into the annals of American history.
October 18th, 2007 at 4:20 pmPatriots will win the day!
Hide and watch.
Has anyone seen this reported anywhere but on Fox news? The MSM is awfully quiet about this. Just curious.
October 18th, 2007 at 5:39 pmSweet.
Rush is running circles around those jerks in the Senate.
Match funds for this, beatches!!!
October 18th, 2007 at 8:17 pmThey will report if Brittany has custody or if Ellen’s dog got given away, but they won’t report this–it makes the 41 senators, including Billary the Presidential hopeful–look like they were outsmarted by Rush, which they were. Can’t have that! It doesn’t fit the template. It was on Drudge, which they usually pick up, except for this story, of course.
October 18th, 2007 at 8:51 pm$1.2M … 13 hours left.
October 18th, 2007 at 8:53 pmCurrent bid: US $1,200,100.00 @ 0016EDT
October 18th, 2007 at 9:20 pmIt is NOW US $2,000,200.00
October 18th, 2007 at 9:45 pmRush has got to scratch out a hefty check, too. I wonder if he thought it would get this high? What the heck, it’s for a great cause! You dems want to match it, too? No, I didn’t think you’d put your money where your mouths are, as usual.
October 18th, 2007 at 10:01 pmIt was one of those moist eye moments when he announced this that night in Philadelphia. Thank God, I’ll be alone in my living room at 1pm when the final figure is announced. I’ll be switching back and forth from FNC and CNN to see if the coverage is ‘fair and balanced’. Maybe I won’t, why fucking bother, I’ll probably just frustrate myself.
October 19th, 2007 at 2:17 amThis bidding war for the Dingy Harry letter is almost as unbelievable as Hillary Clinton being able to raise $1,000 contributions from dishwaters in NY Chinatown! Who knew the poor in this country have been hoarding all their money for years to elect the Rotten?
http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-donors19oct19,0,4231217.story?coll=la-home-center
I smell a skunk in the basement…but it’s Limbaugh that the MSM criticizes. God help us.
October 19th, 2007 at 6:19 amDamn! I LOVE capitalism!!
October 19th, 2007 at 7:02 amOH MY GOD - the bidding has topped $2 million!! There’s still 3 hours to go, but I’m already astounded. In a good way!
October 19th, 2007 at 7:03 amThis has to worry the Left.
October 19th, 2007 at 8:54 amI fucking love it. Stuffing right up Hairy Weed’s ass along with other dick head libs.
October 19th, 2007 at 9:01 amWorthy of mention in future history books. I love it when those in power try to wield it in a heavy handed manner and it comes back to bite them via the opportunity of an average Joe who made it big and tells them where to stuff it! This is rich!
October 19th, 2007 at 9:17 amOVER ONE MILLION HITS and still 20 minutes on the auction!!
THAT is the part that ought to have the Libs sucking air with the old stinkstar. Before Ebay finally purges the auction from their records, wanna take bets on how many hits the counter goes up to??
My guess is 3,750,000 and I may be conservative on my estimate
October 19th, 2007 at 9:41 amAnd now Dingy Harry is complimenting Rush on giving the proceeds to the Marine fund. Dingy Harry is trying to make it sound like he actually had a positive input on this incident. He and his selective amnesia have conveniently forgotten that he generated this event by trying to shut up Rush through his boss at Clear Channel. Clear Channel made him look like an idiot and he even looks like a bigger idiot now that the letter has generated over 2 million dollars for this charity. GO RUSH!!!!!
October 19th, 2007 at 9:57 amI emailed CNN about their coverage of the ebay sale (which is none that I know of). I also emailed my disgraceful senators Carl Asshole Levin and Debby, “Fat as Ted Kennedy, Stab Our Soldiers in the Back”, Stabenow to inquire if they were going to bid on the letter or contribute to the charity. Think they will answer me? What a bunch of cowards. And Harry Reid taking to the senate floor again - now praising Rush! I think I’m gonna puke!!!! My blood pressure medicine can’t even calm me down when I think of how hateful, deceitful and what liars these damn o crats are!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
October 19th, 2007 at 10:20 amWhat’s funny about this is the lady that bought the letter–Betty Casey, a DC philanthropist. A few years ago, she was going to donate prime NW DC real estate for a mayoral mansion, and got so much flack from the “neighbors” (environmentalists, rich busybodies, etc.) & city council that she donated the land to the Salvation Army for a community services center. Ha ha ha. She outsmarted them–now instead of a mayoral mansion in their neighborhood, they have a Salvation Army center where the bums can come and get a free meal.
