General Clark -- taking on Rush for the phrase "phony soldiers"

[Sparkly]

You've heard a number of times from Jon Soltz of VoteVets.org. Do you consider him a phony soldier?

According to Rush Limbaugh, Jon Soltz, an Iraq war veteran, is a phony soldier. Today, Media Matters reports that Rush Limbaugh said that those troops who come home and want to get America out of the middle of the religious civil war in Iraq are "phony soldiers."1

The question is, would Rush make these outrageous and offensive comments to Jon's face?

Take action now. Email Rush Limbaugh and urge him to invite Jon Soltz onto his radio show!

Rush Limbaugh has never worn the uniform in his life, yet he's got the moral standing to pass judgment on the men and women who risked their lives for this nation?

Polls have shown that the majority of troops on the ground in Iraq, and those who have returned, do not back the President's failed policy.

Does Rush believe, then, that the majority of the US Armed Forces are "phony?"

Major Generals John Batiste and Paul Eaton left the military and have spoken out against the Bush Administration's failed policies. These are former commanders in Iraq, and they have challenged the Administration for its stubborn refusal to listen to those commanders on the ground who have sent up warning after warning.

Does Rush believe that highly decorated Major Generals are "phony soldiers?"

Finally, recall the members of the 82nd Airborne in Iraq who wrote a New York Times op-ed, urging for a change in course in Iraq, and suggesting it was time to figure out the exit strategy. Two of them just died.

Does Rush believe these young troops are "phony soldiers?"

My challenge to you is to force Rush to invite Jon Soltz onto his show and say all of this again, right to the face of someone who served in Iraq.

Democracy demands discussion, disagreement, and dissent. It is the natural expression of our freedom. To dishonor the service of our troops because they have a different viewpoint is unconscionable. Thank you for speaking out.

Sincerely,

Wes Clark

3. I'm sure Congress will drop everything to condemn Rush.

:sarcasm:

4. Uh yes, Rush does believe all that, emphatically. Esp. for Jon Soltz

That's a truly rhetorical question from the Rhodes Scholar.

6. His point: Rush should say it to Soltz's face. nt

9. Rush is so used to ignoring opposing views

that he went deaf and barely noticed.

"(b) Sense of Senate.–It is the sense of the Senate–

"(1) to reaffirm its support for all the men and women of the United States Armed Forces, including General David H. Petraeus, Commanding General, Multi-National Force-Iraq;

("2) to strongly condemn any effort to attack the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all the members of the United States Armed Forces; and

"(3) to specifically repudiate the unwarranted personal attack on General Petraeus Captain Soltz by the liberal activist group Moveon.org right-wing antagonist bloviator Rush Limbaugh."

'Nuff said? You're damn skippy, 'nuff said!

Hah! Try to vote against that Sense of the Senate Resolution now, all you phony-patriot Congressional neokonzertruppen!

Um... er... I'm just sayin', is all...

(Gee... payback's a bitch, ain't it?)

12. Rush is a sad, pathetic, sick freak of nature.

He's on par with Coulter in the dangerously dingbat wingnut category.
