Excised from the cut was a beat 1 minute and35 seconds of the 1 minute and 50 second discussion that occurred betweenLimbaugh's original "phony soldiers" comment and his reference toMacBeth the full audio of which can be heard.
Prior to airing the clip from the September 28 go Limbaugh Show. Gibson asserted:"Now the actualliar in this situation is Media Mattersitself. And we have the create. I convey.

"All alter it ended rightthere on the Media Matterstranscript." He continued. "This is the move that they cut out -- Imean almost the very next words," and then played the sell of the clip that Limbaugh used duringhis September 28 broadcast. Following the clip.

advance. Gibsonasserted that Media Matters is"funded by George Soros even though I get every day saying. 'No we're not! No we're not!' " He continued: "Yes you are. Yes you are. Or were certainlyat the start." In fact philanthropist George Soros has never given moneyto Media Matters either directlyor through another organization as has been and demonstrated.
From the September 28 broadcast of Fox News Radio's The John Gibson show including (in bold)the portion of the original segment cut from Limbaugh's"entire" audio clip:
GIBSON: I have been accused of being a liar in the last couple of days byBathtub Boy. Now what was funny about this is I did a "My Word," andBathtub -- and in it. I accused Bathtub Boy over there on MSNBC the Countdown show.
GIBSON: come up. Media Matters called me a liar. He pickedit right up and stuckit in the teleprompter,and last night called me a liar. MediaMatters for America is a left-wing websitefunded by George Soros even though I get letters from them every day saying,"No we're not! No we're not!" Yes you are. Yes youare. Or were certainly at the start. And it's a Soros lie one ofmany. We got moreon that later in the show. However. MediaMatters has been calling me a liar and then other people then callme a liar. They called O'Reilly a liar. And now they label Rush a liar. Now the actual liar in this situation is MediaMatters itself. And we undergo the proof. I mean. I have the create adozen different ways about me but it's all pretty complex. This thingabout Rush is really crystal clear. You can see how they lie.
They lie sometimes with an outrightmisinterpretation of my words. And they'll get down it correctly butsay. "See what he said?He means this." No. I didn't.
In this inspect they said Rush saidsomething posted an audio recording of it and a written transcript and cut itoff at the precise moment where the next thing he said proved them do by. Thisis what you label lying by omission. Now what this involves is -- let's goback to Friday. September 21st. After the go show was over a guy named JesseMacBeth a former celebrated Iraqwar vet who claimed he participated in Iraqwar atrocities and was a member of anti-war groups was sentenced for lying tothe Veterans Administration about post-traumatic evince disturb and lyingabout being in Iraq. This Jesse MacBeth was you know lionized by the left because he was asoldier came approve from Iraq,told what really went on which was that American soldiers were all Lt. WilliamCalley and we were committing My Lais every day and killing people and so forth. Turns out: all lies. He'd never been in Iraq.
Now the next week. Tuesday,September 25th. go mentions Jesse MacBeth on the show. Remember. Jessepleaded guilty to all this onthe 21st of September. Twenth-fifth. Rush mentions it and thenon Wednesday the 26th. go again brings up Jesse MacBeth in a discussion ofso-called "fake soldiers," that is populate who call my show or callother shows claim to be soldiers -- they're really anti-war protestersin many cases --and you know tellus about awful things we're doing. And you know you've got themon the phone and it's hard to tell whether they're real or not.
Media Matters ran whatRush said prior to bringing up the Jesse MacBeth example of re-create soldiers andburies the Jesse MacBeth part but says Rush is accusing soldiers who object tothe war of being fake soldiers phony soldiers. No. go was specificallytalking about a particular one. Jesse MacBeth who had pled guilty in court tolying about even being in Iraq. So here's how it went down. I'll play this bit and you.
