Limbaugh: Troops Supporting US Withdrawal "Phony Soldiers" UPDATED
By Nicole Belle Wednesday Sep 26, 2007 3:09pmUh oh, someone's jealous of all of Bill O'Reilly's Worst Person in the World wins.
During the September 26 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh called service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq "phony soldiers." He made the comment while discussing with a caller a conversation he had with a previous caller, "Mike from Chicago," who said he "used to be military," and "believe[s] that we should pull out of Iraq." Limbaugh told the second caller, whom he identified as "Mike, this one from Olympia, Washington," that "[t]here's a lot" that people who favor U.S. withdrawal "don't understand" and that when asked why the United States should pull out, their only answer is, " 'Well, we just gotta bring the troops home.' ... 'Save the -- keeps the troops safe' or whatever," adding, "[I]t's not possible, intellectually, to follow these people." "Mike" from Olympia replied, "No, it's not, and what's really funny is, they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and talk to the media." Limbaugh interjected, "The phony soldiers." The caller, who had earlier said, "I am a serving American military, in the Army," agreed, replying, "The phony soldiers."
Rush Limbaugh, dissing our brave soldiers sacrificing in combat??? I am positive that the Republican party in Congress are drafting up an amendment to condemn that heartless Limbaugh, right? (/snark)
Actually, that's a good idea: Here is the Roll Call from the House MoveOn condemnation and the Senate MoveOn condemnation. Clearly, Limbaugh is violating the "sense of the Senate" by criticizing active duty troops. McCain thought that MoveOn should "be thrown out of the country." Lieberman called it "an outrageous and despicable act of slander that every member of the Congress -- Democrat and Republican -- has a solemn responsibility to condemn."
So let's ask them. Ask Lieberman and McCain if they will condemn Rush Limbaugh as they have MoveOn. Let's ask ALL the congress critters who thought it important to condemn MoveOn if they will do the same for Rush.
Jon Soltz asks, "So, I'm a phony soldier, Rush?" as does Iraq veteran John Bruhn.
UPDATE: John Amato: "I'm calling on the Senate to pass an amendment or uphold their latest one and condemn Rush Limbaugh's cowardly acts on our troops! Soldiers from the 82nd Airborne in Iraq wrote a NY Times op-ed---criticizing the war in Iraq, and had the bravery to suggest that it was time to develop an exit strategy. Two of them just died. Are they phonies, Rush? Where's the "sense of the Senate" on this outrage?

Send this wealthy, drug-infested, bloated, pathetic piece of crap to Iraq.
Now watch them (Congress) cave in and not do anything.
(Lyric to Bush's "Now watch this drive...")
Seems to me like his ass cyst should prevent him from declaring who is and is not a phony soldier.
I've taken to calling republicans "Pretend Patriots." Has a nice alliterative ring.
Jim Clyburn voted to condemn MoveOn?
We will make this a part of the CBC Monitor's report card next session - this is trying to curb free speech and dissent, and we're not having it:
http://www.blackagendareport.com
Check out the report card on this SOB - he got a decent grade, but we penalized him for continuing to vote money to fund the Iraq war and other messes.
Yeah I was listening to that. Rush said we were fighting the terrorists in Iraq who attacked us on Nine ELeven? What happened to the hunt for UBL? What happened to the hunt for the anthrax terrorist? Freedomwatch.org, Fox "News", and Rush are suffering terribly from cognitive dissonance.
JM @ 4:
I like that. I think I'll join you. I hope one these phony soldiers has a chance to meet limpballs alone some day.
is that limbaugh? he looks like a cross between Larry Craig and and Dick Cheney
So let me get this straight. A man who got out of going to Vietnam because of a "persistant boil" on his rear (I'm not making this up) somehow feels he has the right to criticize those who CHOSE to volunteer and go to Iraq as being "phony"? Sounds like fat man is hitting the pain-killers again (which he may need to stay on them if he takes Jon Soltz up on his challenge).
"phoney soldiers" as opposed to what? Fat, f#cking, pill popping, draft dodging piles of shit like Rush who didn't go to Vietnam because he had a boil on his fat ass? Oh boy, someone needs to take his fat hole to the shed!
IOKIYAR
Never forget.
Let me get this straight. A man who got out of going to Vietnam and serving his country because of a "persistant boil" on his rear (I'm not making this up) feels like he has the right to criticize the view of those soldiers who VOLUNTEERED to go into battle in Iraq and formed their own opions based on actual experience? Sounds like fat man has been hitting the pain-killers again. He should stay on them if he takes Jon Soltz up on his challenge.
Here's what I think of RUSH — AND THE RIGHT-EOUS BROTHERS
Yea, those phony soldiers with their phony prosthetics, don't listen them!
Looks like Rush has dropped a lot of weight. Maybe the blowhard drug addict is smoking Ted Haggard's meth pipe now.
There aren't any fake soldiers that serve only real chickenhawks that don't and you Mr. Limpballs are a real chickenhawk.
Does anyone actually listen to this bloated gas bag?
I sometimes listen to him and Mark (the Constitution is God so long as it doesn't undermine Presidential power) Levin and I honestly believe that the same dozen hillbillies in trailers call in to both shows.
Well, as they say, if you drag enough dollars through trailer parks you'll find someone to say what you want them to say.
I'll send a note to Jim Webb asking if he and Cornyn want to sponsor an amendment condemning Rush.
Would love to see the tub of lard walk into a room with those brave men and say that!
Liberal AND Proud @ 15:
I guess the answer to my question is YES...ME! LOLOL!
I really need to read this stuff before I hit "Submit Comment".
I've spared myself hearing the voice of this walking turd for a number of years now, so I'm not going to start. We know what he's going to say, so why trouble yourself? Why add to the projectile-vomited pea soup that pukes out of that ignorant mouth of his.
Just fuck him. One day he'll light up his self-satisfied cigar, take a puff and drop purple on the pavement. Fini.
Darth_Romney @ 9:
Pull his fat cowardly ass out of his spider hole, put a gun in his hands and send him to the front lines in Iraq. Then watch him crap his pants.
Hey Rush -- FUCK YOU and your anal cyst. You goddamned maggot.
Okay, I believe MoveOn had every right of free speech to say what they did in the ad. They didn't call Petraeus a betrayer they simply asked if he was one.
This comment by Rush is again his right of free speech but this time he didn't ask if the soldiers were phony, he said they were. Seems his comment is much more damning than the MoveOn ad was.
Will we hear the same hue and cry about what he said as we did about MoveOn? No
Will BillO be fired for what he said about the black restaurant for the same reason Imus was fired? No
The reason Rush won't be slapped for his comment is he is on the "right' side and the "right" side never has to answer for what they say and do.
This comments just reeks of irony coming from a fat bloated drug addled blowhard who got out of military service by having an overgrown pimple on his ass. "Phony soldiers"....you're a real comedian aren't you Rush.
The strange thing is that a caller accused Limbaugh on his radio show in December of 2002 of avoiding being drafted because he had a "boil on his butt" and Limbaugh responded by saying that that was simply "internet bs." If Limbaugh feels that the accusation is not true, then why has he not stated on the record the reason how he was able to avoid being sent to fight in the jungles of Vietnam?
* cue God Bless America*
Ah but Rush is a conservative you see,and the unspoken UNDERSTANDING is that a conservative would never,ever wittingly insult a REAL AMERICAN HERO.
Only a Liberal or dirty hippie you see,would resort to such an UN-AMERICAN and low down characterization.
During the September 26 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh called service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq “phony soldiers.” He made the comment while discussing with a caller a conversation he had with a previous caller, “Mike from Chicago,” who said he “used to be military,” and “believe[s] that we should pull out of Iraq.” Limbaugh told the second caller, whom he identified as “Mike, this one from Olympia, Washington,” that “[t]here’s a lot” that people who favor U.S. withdrawal “don’t understand” and that when asked why the United States should pull out, their only answer is, ” ‘Well, we just gotta bring the troops home.’ … ‘Save the — keeps the troops safe’ or whatever,” adding, “[I]t’s not possible, intellectually, to follow these people.” “Mike” from Olympia replied, “No, it’s not, and what’s really funny is, they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and talk to the media.” Limbaugh interjected, “The phony soldiers.” The caller, who had earlier said, “I am a serving American military, in the Army,” agreed, replying, “The phony soldiers.”
I know Media Matters is trying to be thorough, but this explanation is a mess. Can barely make out the smoking gun in this fog.
CANDIDATE CALCULATOR by the issues...maybe posted here before, somebody sent me this in an email:
http://www.vajoe.com/candidate_calculator.html
This was fun, mine came back Kucinich, although at this time I support Edwards or at least I thought I did.
Someone should find Mike from Chicago and have him walk into Limpball's studio, with the media in tow.
Republicans are cowards and they will not condemn him. And we should point out that most Republicans are more afraid of irritating a talk show host than they are of irritating the US military.
JM @ 4:
I think I'll stick to calling them "traitors." It's true and it has an even better ring.
nsr @ 16:
Speaking of Jim Webb, I would love to see that blowhard chickenhawk chickenshit drug addicted coward tell Jim Webb to his face that he was a fake soldier because he wants out of Iraq or that Jim Webb's son is a fake soldier. My guess there would be 2 hits, Webb hitting Rush and Rush hitting the floor. I'd pay to watch that over and over again.
Seems like we have a large contingency of "phony soldiers" in the military, including my husband. Actually, not really, he would be a "phony sailor".
Gort @ 28:
I'd hold the front door for him.
If that's him, he's definitely hitting the pills again. Maybe his next meltdown will make the papers again. It's the picture of Dorian Gray.
Phony soldier, isnt that what we call a rich kid who gets into a national guard unit with outdated aircraft to protect us from mexico and then decides to desert to do some campaiging?
you mean "pimple on my ass Rush" is calling anyone else a phony soldier? Hey, maybe Giuliani will take out a full-page ad condemning Rush for his anti-military view.
Ruthless People @ 33:
...hold it open that is.
Rush who?
nsr @ 16:
Aaaa, forget Webb. My own congressman voted for the stupid thing. So I called him instead. No plans to comment. Is he interested only in criticizing people who were against the war? "I'll pass your complaint on to the Congressman." (The guy sounded like he'd already heard from a few like-minded constituents.)
I think we need to follow Olbermanns lead and always refer to him as "Comedian Rush Limbaugh"
Come on site monitor, what's the point on this post, what else is there to say?? We have Ted Nugent who boasted of urinating and defecating his pants for an entire week to avoid serving and now wraps himself in the flag. And, Rush Limpdick who grew a momentous cowardly cyst between the syntaxes of his cerebellum also to avoid serving, now calling those who serve phony soldiers. I fantasize his head is an Everlast Speedbag and I'm the champ training for a fight.
I consider it cruel and unusual punishment to have to listen to all that Limbaugh audio-screed to get to the last call which stood on it's own just fine. I've successfully managed to not have to hear Limbaugh's cardiac_disease-on-a-plate voice for years and here I find it oozing forth from C&L. Please - limit the exposure. I'm only glad this didn't show up during my lunch break.
Milo
I just called Hoyer's office and got them to review the article.
As a former US Naval Officer, I must say that Limbaugh doesn't speak for me. Bloviating worthless windbag he is.
Jim Webb and his son would make a big greasy spot on the floor out of Rush. I'm sure Rush would wet his pants if he saw them coming toward him.
Justin @ 36:
You mean Giuliani the chickenhawk draft dodger? http://www.examiner.com/a-591689~Draft_questions_cloud_Giuliani_s_chance...

Nope. We call him Commander in Chief!
Interesting, he's lost just enough weight that he now looks like Pat Robertson's twin.
Drew @ 43:
He doesn't speak to a lot of people in the military. I also love being told that I don't support the troops and I hate America when my husband could be sent off to die any time.
Q: Why didn't Rush go to Vietnam?
A: He has a pimple on his ass!
THIS IS NOT A JOKE. PLEASE, we MUST use this opportunity to make this public!!!!
pissed off patricia @ 44:
Too funny, it's almost as funny as BushCo deciding that the Canadian border doesn't pass the "terror test" and announcing new secruity measures for the border--with Canada. (I'm sure no one would think of sneaking anything over the Mexican border except lots of cheap workers for U. S. corporations and we don't want to stem the flow of that).
Will the Dem's show some balls now? This makes me sick.
Oh that was delicious ... hearing that stammering and "uhh-Uhhh" blank mind spitting...
And look at what he falls upon..
"Traitor ...YOU are not a REAL Republican!!!"
He is the pinnacle of the conservative mental bank..
kaT @ 48:
Actually, he's fat again. That's an old photo. And look at the ugly tie he is wearing. If you wear one of his ties, you might as well stamp "moron" on your forehead.
Gawd. Just OD already.
I tried emailing Ron Emanuel but since I am not in his district I know he won't reply (website says so) but I don't know if the email I sent asking them to start resolutions for Boehner and Limbaugh (Betray-us and phony soldiers). You have to get Olberman and others to start a ground swell for this insult.
While you are at it, why was there no stink at the 2004 Republic Convention when all the delagates wore paper purple hearts to ridicule John Kerry's service (and ridiculing all purple heart recepients at the same time) - nothing in the media and nothing from Veteran's of Foreign Wars, nothing -- now if that wasn't an insult, I don't know what is.
Come to think of it (And I'm no lawyer), free speech may not be the issue here. Slander might be. I would love to see that gasbag in a court of law explaining exactly why these are "phony soldiers." Is he claiming they weren't properly enlisted? Did they claim deployments or medals they weren't entitled to? Did they show cowardice before the enemy? Did they desert? Did they disobey lawful orders?
He has raised those questions and others and held these men up to ridicule, causing damage to their good names. There are laws against that.
Maybe somebody should hire these brave men a lawyer.
If there is a legal expert available, I would really like an opinion.

Flushed Limpballs broadcasts from his mansion in Palm Beach.
Rush, smoke your Cigar and choke on it!
Rush's Ass Cyst!
SPREAD THE WORD!
How they got out of Vietnam: Bush got assistance, Rush got "ass-cyst-ance!"
I thought that I had heard that another one of those soldiers that wrote the op-ed had had an accident... Not the one that was shot in the head or the two that were killed in a rollover accident, but one other, but I have not heard anything about it since last Thursday. Am I mistaken? I can't find anything on this anywhere, but I heard it on the radio last week.
And Jon Soltz's response was brilliant.
Comedian Rush Limbaugh at his finest, cannot wait for his gold medal in WPITW.
UnEasyOne,
The defamatory statement must be directed at an identifiable person.

A little Elvis constipation to strain the heart... fitting finish (To Limpballs, I mean).

UnEasyOne @ 57:
Non-starter. Nobody was slandered because nobody knows who "Mike from Chicago" is.
I can't stand this pill eating s.o.b
I wish I knew him when he had that cyst I would have burst it with my shoe up his ass. Why don't rush support our troops?
I'd suggest we all contact the Giuliani campaign also and ask them to take out another full-page ad condemning Rush. I just did:
webteam@joinrudy2008.com
phone: 212-835-9449
So, now that you've condemned MoveOn for calling into question Gen. Patraeus' patriotism, will you also commit to take out a full page ad condemning Rush Limbaugh for what he said during his September 26th broadcast?
I'll quote...
---
Caller: "What's really funny is they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers who come up out of the blue..."
Rush: "The phony soldiers."
Caller: "The phony soldiers. If you talk to any real soldiers, they are proud to serve. They want to be over in Iraq. They understand their sacrifice, and they're willing to sacrifice for their country."
Rush: "They joined to be in Iraq. You know where you're going these days, the last four years, if you sign up. The odds are you're going there or Afghanistan or somewhere."
---
So, what I'd like to know is if Rudy agrees with Rush completely on this statement, or if he'll be fair and balanced in his outrage for anyone who undermines the patriotism of an American soldier. Also, does he believe that those who joined pre-Iraq want or wanted to be in Iraq?
I'd expect that you'd be ready to take immediate action denouncing Rush Limbaugh's comments considering how much Rudy loves the troops.
Dr. Acula @ 58:
It would be great if Mike from Chicago - in uniform - flew down there to show him how phony he was.
Get ready!
http://www.consortiumnews.com/index.html
Rush knows that the more that he talks out of his ass, the more money people will throw at him. . .
Another guy that would fade away if ignored.
Dr. Acula @ 65:
Think you got it rough? Mine came back Gravel!
Klobuchar voted like a republican again. She does that ALOT. She won't be re-elected. We have way too many real Democrats up here in Minnesota to put up with her lame-ass shit for long...
Rush Limbaugh, the ferociously bellicose pro-war radio personality, was disqualified from the Vietnam-era draft due to either "anal cysts" or an "ingrown hair follicle on his bottom".
Phony soldiers?
I think Limbaugh is phony. Only a phony person would say that a soldiers right to self-determination can be validly questioned by someone who is not even a soldier, nor having his life threatened by the soldiers of other countries.
How dare Limbaugh claim that a soldier has no right to live their own lives. Limbaugh is a fucking communist fascist pig to even suggest that ANOTHER person should "dare" make their own lives the way they see fit.
Fuck Limbaugh. I can't believe this country is filled with so many ignoramuses that he is able to have his own radio show. Geez, the people of this country are losing it fast. No wonder we're going to become fascist eventually. There are too many sheep who don't question anymore, they are just spoon fed this garbage and they lap it up.
I would ask Limbaugh if he would put his fucking mouth were his tiny testicles were and go fight in Iraq if the war is so moral and necessary. Why are there so many war-hawks who chastise those who ask for a withdrawal, and yet would never dare to suit up and fight themselves? Why do these people think that others' lives are here to serve their own purpose?
Human life is not a means to other people's ends. Human life is an end in itself. Limbaugh and so many other losers in the MSM do not or cannot understand that people's lives should not be sacrificed for others. Sacrifice destroys us all because sacrifice prevents humanity from reaching its full capacity, a capacity required if we are going to solve all our problems! That's why the evangelicals have it all wrong. They think that if enough people die, if enough people are sacrificed in the name of their own goals, then we will achieve a better end or goal. Sacrifice will NEVER do this.
Soldiers have to BELIEVE that the war they are fighting is moral and necessary or else the war cannot be won, a war that is the goal of the war-hawks, not the soldiers. Soldiers don't want to fight wars, they want to protect their country. If that trust is broken, as it has been, then the war cannot be won. That is why the war cannot be won today. The Bush admin ruined the trust of the soldiers, they have destroyed the bond that should exist between them by sending them out to a bullshit war through lies. You lie, you will eventually pay the fucking price.
Hey Bush! I hope the price was worth it!!!
“I’m calling on the Senate to pass an amendment or uphold their latest one and condemn Rush Limbaugh’s cowardly acts on our troops!...Where’s the “sense of the Senate” on this outrage?"
Yeah, John. That's all we need. The Empire is f*cking crumbling, our troops are dying every day and you want to get into a congressional pissing contest with John Boehner. WTF? I don't mind you calling out Butthead on this (hard) but Congress has (way) more important things to do.
Rusty Shackleford @ 66:
Is "Mike" a phony creation of Rush? If not there should be a phone record. I think he was a phony, rush has a tight screening on callers.
Rush Limbaugh? Isn't he the one that talks about political stuff between foot powder commercials?

Rush has a mansion in Palm Beach and a place a Manhattan yet he cons the Walmart Republicans into thinking he's one of them. Limpballs listeners aren't exactly the brightest flames in the fire.

just got off the phone with Rudy's campaign... needless to say the guy on the other end was none too happy to hear from me. No comment, no comment, no comment is all he had, but he took down my info. That's going to be helpful!
So when two of the "phony soldiers" from the NYT article were killed did the parents and wives have a phony funeral, with a phony casket along with phony tears? I am a vet and I will say that anybody that wears a uniform while other people are shooting at you means that it isnt phony war, it is all too real and they dont want to die for the PHONY WMDS that we went there for in the first place.
I actually hope that there isn't a condemnation by Congress. All it will do is validate the Congressional condemnation on MoveOn and validate that it is ok to stomp all over our free speech.
Saying that, Limpbaugh is a piece of crap and wouldn't know a real soldier if he saw one.
Please...!
PLEEEEEEEASE...!!
I BEG you to let the country know about Rush's VIETNAM "ASS-CYCT-ANCE"!!!
Gort @ 89:
He's offshore and tax free without a doubt.

Hell yeah Jeff!
what you need to do is start emailing the MSM and exposing his comments.
that's the very thing that BillO is running from right now.
start censuring these Bush fascist propagandists
You mention this Rush person again. Is there some where I can go to get information about him? I get the impression that he holds strong opinions and yet he has not come onto my radar screen as of yet.
I'm intrigued yet perplexed!
Mike @ 88:
Absolutely. Had John Kerry stood up to Rethuglican hypocrisy, lies and swiftboating in time he most likely would have been president. Those who don't learn from history are destined to repeat it.
Rush no doubt is watching this site right now and probably laughing his ass off.
Kind of guy he is.
Mike @ 88:
Go ahead..take Limbaugh "to task". Expose away!! Just don't involve our paid representatives in this. Conservatives in Congress want this ridiculous argument to continue. "Look, over there...Its MoveOn.org...They're the enemy!" Paleeze.
Ruck Fush!!

When it comes to Limbaugh, all I can handle is the transcript. I tried listening to it and I felt so angry that I am actually having trouble putting to words the anger that I felt.
For me anyway, it's hard to get outraged at anything this slime says as he's been a slime for years now. Limbaugh is a phony human being; he lacks every good quality that others have.

So you're noticing that too? What's with her?
I called the local radio station carrying his show, and pointed out that two of the soldiers he's calling "phony" were recently killed, and asked them to take him off the air. Probably won't do anything, but I live in "Little Beirut" (PDX), and if they get enough calls they might think they have to do something about it.
The big difference as I see it is that MoveOn was criticizing a General who was serving a political role, while Rush is attacking regular men and women serving on the front lines, risking their lives. Rush is sick. Ask any honest enlisted person what they think of cushy high ranked politicos and they are going to give you a critique that is way more insulting than MoveOn could ever dream of.
we know this pansy ain't going to enlist!
Look, they're subhuman. Why get sucked into this circular trap that has no solution or practical purpose other than making us as hate-filled as he, it, they are.

There are SO MANY things wrong in that clip. He's maddening, with his stupid arguments, his unfair debate tactics, he's a farce. People who listen to him for non-comedy reasons are to be pitied. However, it seems to me he means that the people who claim to be soldiers against the war are not really soldiers, NOT that the real soldiers who speak out are "fake." Now, I'm not saying he's right, or that he's not despicable, but I think he is being misconstrued. I mean, he's a jackass, but he's not dumb enough to suggest soldiers who really served are "fake." And if he is suggesting that (I'm not saying my interpretation is correct), then he should be sent to Baghdad tomorrow to hang out with the "fake" soldiers there who oppose the war. Perhaps his fat ass could shield the other folks from an IED.

(melody trail sing-song) b l u e d o g. The wolves pretending to be grandma. Yank her out with a Progressive. Don't warn them either, don't give them a chance to clean up their act when it suits then, and revert back as soon as they're re-elected. Once they turn on 'ya a Bluedog is a dead dog.
Aarrgh! This screen shot of "Rush" is really creepy.
Creepier than Jack Nicholson's look on the poster for The Shinning and as disturbing as
Chucky's smurk. A really scary combination. "It" is the poster child for conservative talk radio people! What does it say about our compassionate conservative government? Everything.
Up the meds Rush!
I can't...I don't know what to say....I'm gonna be sick. People actually listen to that POS and BELIEVE him. God help us.
Jon Soltz challanged Rush to have him on his show. Do you think Rush has the balls
to take him up on his request......I think not! Oxy-Boy will do what he usually does, hide
behind his microphone and thump his chest like the pathetic hypocrite he his.
[...] UPDATE: Crooks and Liars has more. [...]
Ditto heads are stupid.
And Rush is a Professional.
His statement was just vauge enough that he'll slip away from this.
Still I'm more than happy to help try to nab the bastard for this insult.
The gross and desperate sweathog, Limp-Dick, is slowly but surely losing his ignorant, uneducated, jobless and totally blind audience.
wxgeek @ 128:
If Soltz goes on hos show he better be damn ready.
Rush will hit him with spin, sound effects and personal attacks.
An earlier post commented on Limpball's tie. I don't think it's a tie, I think it's the blood and guts of US soldiers and Iraqi civilians he's wearing.
it's one thing to say it(and that's gotta be an all time low)...but to believe it....The people who believe this crap have got to be either so stupid or so full of hate ...that it boggles the mind.
"John Amato: “I’m calling on the Senate to pass an amendment or uphold their latest one and condemn Rush Limbaugh’s cowardly acts on our troops! Soldiers from the 82nd Airborne in Iraq wrote a NY Times op-ed—criticizing the war in Iraq, and had the bravery to suggest that it was time to develop an exit strategy. Two of them just died. Are they phonies, Rush? Where’s the “sense of the Senate” on this outrage?"
Good luck with all that John. While you're at it, I lost my favorite needle in this hay stack, can you find it for me?
Here is what I just sent to my senators (Kyl and McCain):
using the same, ahem, logic, doesn't that make Rush a "phony human being?"
I hope the families of some of the soldiers who didn't make it..have something to say about this.
IOKIYAR
Phony soldier? Kinda like the one who wears a flight suit on board a battleship standing in front of a Mission Accomplished banner.
Greg @ 135:
Your d*ck fell off in a pile of hay? Wow, sorry to hear that.
JK75 @ 136:
well said...but...don't hold your breath.
PHONY PATRIOT ... I love the idea from one of the bloggers here!
keep repeating ...
comedian Rush Limbaugh is a PHONY PATRIOT
comedian Rush Limbaugh is a PHONY PATRIOT!
comedian Rush Limbaugh is a PHONY PATRIOT!

If you want to see mind boggling stupidity, go over to the ABCnews.com link and look at the comments section under the articles relating to General Pace's comments on homosexuality and gay soldiers! You don't have to read to far before you can pick out sensible Americans and Rush Limbaugh fans...you know, the ones who actually believe that they are good Christians and that Jesus loves everyone but shares their hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton!
The only soldier that I can see is the drug addict Rush Limbaugh. I haven't heard that he volunteered his fat ass to fight in Iraq.
Just heard on the radio today that there is an extraordinary number of divorces among the soldiers serving in Iraq. And yet, the Republicans don't want to redeploy nor do they want to give these soldiers more time at home with their families. And to think that the Republicans call themselves the family values party.

All reich-wingers are phony patroits.
Doug @ 140:
Cut him some slack. He was fall down drunk till the age of 40, it was just about the frist time he could stand up by himself.
Doug @ 140:
Now THAT would actually be VERY funny and quite appropriate for lil dub.
Dr. Matt @ 141:
It's one of two things Matt. Either your a rightwing nut or you're to stupid to see the sarcasm in my post. If it's the latter, I suggest you slow down and reread what I posted and use a little thing called common sense.
Greg @ 149:
Maybe you should slow down and get a sense of humor, twit.
