Limbaugh And Hannity Report Biden's Alleged Comments As Fact

Limbaugh: "Biden Did Call" The Tea Party "Terrorists." From The Rush Limbaugh Show:

Obama: OK, I'll explain it right now, he didn't call you guys terrorists. And of course, he definitely lied because Biden did. It would be great if CBS News would release Biden's own denial so that we can hear that. But Biden did call them terrorists. I mean, hell, the whole Democrat Party was calling them terrorists.

But The Report Was Anonymously Sourced And Explicitly Denied By Biden
