Right starts pushing back against Limbaugh’s ‘phony soldiers’ flap

Right starts pushing back against Limbaugh’s ‘phony soldiers’ flap:

A variety of conservatives have apparently come up with a defense — Limbaugh shouldn’t have said those exact words, but it doesn’t matter because he was taken out of context.

Media Matters: Limbaugh previously called Vietnam veteran Kerry "a fraud," "a total phony"

Adding more context to Limbaugh's current statement:

CALLER: Well, I am a Republican, and I listened to you for a long time, and you're right on a lot of things, but I do believe that we should pull out of Iraq. I don't think it's winnable. I'm not a Democrat, but sometimes you gotta cut the losses. I mean, sometimes you really got to admit you're wrong.

Limbaugh can't stand it. He's beside himself. And as the call goes on, there's this exchange:

CALLER: I used to be military, okay, and I am a Republican.

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER: And I do listen to you, but --

RUSH: Right, I know. And I, by the way, used to walk on the moon.

So he's calling Mike in Chicago a liar. Apparently, it's not possible to be a Republican and against the war (tell that to these people), or ex-military and against the war.

1. Where is our Harperisbush - he was very prolific with posts condemning MoveOn here last week

I'm sure he'll be just as prolific over this latest outrage when it concerns a repuke...

2. That's always the excuse

Out of context be damned. The audio tape has been running all day and there is no out of context about it. He and the caller were talking about soldiers who come back and criticize the war and the Little Emperor. Then Rush said they are 'phony soldiers'. What's out of context?

5. They're all SO BRAVE since their fascist benefactors bought control of the broadcast airwaves

in the 80s and 90s.

Not so brave in the 60s and 70s, eh?
