Is a Democratic Senator going to sponsor an amendment condemning Rush Limbaugh's comments?
Rush Limbaugh said soldiers who oppose the war in Iraq are not real soldiers. In my opinion this is worse than the Betray-us comment because our soldiers in Iraq are not in the spotlight and are not involved in helping form policy like General Petraeus.

1. It would be a stupid thing to do.
Just as the MoveOn condemnation was stupid.

2. Perhaps
But it would be great to see those Rush loving Repukes try to defend their reasons for allowing pimple ass to disparage the honor and integrity of troops who have served in Iraq!!!

8. Yeah, fighting back really would be stupid
The Dems are in an Eastern Front type war with the pukes: take no prisoners and kill the wounded.

3. It should be a Republican that does it
After all we know how the Repukes "Support the Troops" and would do everything to bring their anger to bear on anyone who dares to insult the honor and integrity of those who have served.

5. It could be introduced.....doesn't say it has to be brought to the floor.
One of the democrats who isn't an ass kissing bush devotee, can bring it up and then say how banal and inane it is. How only children debate such nonsense when this country is in the dire straits it is...it could then be withdrawn.

Of course it wouldn't, but it should make everybody who voted for it feel like two cents.

7. I won't hold my breath...
Edited on Fri Sep-28-07 01:48 PM by TankLV
it's only OK if you're a repuke aparently...

IMO they MUST do it to show "equivalance"...but they won't...

and the repukes will do it next time too, so history will have be littered with examples of how horrible democrats must be...

and I notice one poster who was quick to start numerous threads condemning MoveOn is stunningly SILENT and ABSENT now that a repuke has ONCE AGAIN done something reprehensible...probably has some other posts condeming us who dare to criticize the LYING WAR CRIMINALS...

9. If you have a Repub Senator you should contact them and ask them to condemn it.
That'll cause some squirming as they consider whether or not to eat their young.

10. If the Democrats will just condemn the comments I will be content
with that. I thought that bringing the MoveOn ad up for a vote was a bad idea and it would be just as bad to bring Rush's statement up for a vote. It would also validate the action the the Republicans took against MoveOn.
