Limpballs says soldiers who support withdrawal are phony soldiers.

[ourbluenation]

he's unbelievable.

and Iraq War vet says "tell me that to my face"

As Media Matters reported today, Rush Limbaugh, on his show 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." I'd love for you, Rush, to have me on your show and tell that to me to my face.

Where to begin?

First, in what universe is a guy who never served even close to being qualified to judge those who have worn the uniform? Rush Limbaugh has never worn a uniform in his life -- not even one at Mickey D's -- and somehow he's got the moral standing to pass judgment on the men and women who risked their lives for this nation, and his right to blather smears on the airwaves?

Second, maybe Rush doesn't much care, but the majority of troops on the ground in Iraq, and those who have returned, do not back the President's failed policy. If you go to our "Did You Get the Memo" page at VoteVets.org, there's a good collection of stories, polls, and surveys, which all show American's troops believe we are on the wrong track, not the right one, in Iraq.

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

1. Where is the outrage...

Why does't some congressperson inntroduce a resolution condemning Rush for not supporting our troops...

2. here's the poop...

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 "believes that we should pull out of Iraq." Limbaugh told the second caller, whom he identified as "Mike, this one from Olympia, Washington," that "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, "it'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."

3. OK, US Senate - I'm waiting for you to condemn Limbaugh

Here's a case of a public mouthpiece impugning the honor of our soldiers and their service.
I KNOW HOW MAD THAT MAKES YOU.

So I'm expecting a vote to censure. I don't want to a hear another thing out of your mouths until you do.

7. Looks like something is beginning to move on this front...

Kerry has confronted Limbaugh's statement. Still want to see the Senate drop everything the way it did to condemn Moveon.org--and censure Limbaugh's hate speech against our troops.

I will consider the leadership rank hypocrites if they do not.

5. There should be a steady drumbeat

from Democrats demanding that repubs "disassociate" themselves from limpboys comments.

6. I'm feeling a "comedian rush limbaugh...todays Worst Person in the World" comin on.

8. Limpballs is going to have to deal with VERY ANGRY veterans in the near future.

Stick a fork in him.

9. He actually had the chutzpah to call someone else phoney?

:rofl::rofl:

10. It was his anal cyst talking, though

--the one that kept him out of Vietnam.

He can't control what it says all the time.

11. Clearly, Limpballs does NOT SUPPORT the troops, then.

If he's calling them phony, he's sure not.
