Limbaugh calls critical veteran "suicide bomber"

[Zandor]

Radio’s Rush Limbaugh, at war with Democrats over his remark about “phony soldiers,’’ today offered a bold new description for the wounded Iraq veteran whom anti-war veterans have placed in cable TV and radio ads criticizing Limbaugh for his controversial commentary.

Suicide bomber.

“This is such a blatant use of a valiant combat veteran, lying to him about what I said and then strapping those lies to his belt, sending him out via the media and a TV ad to walk into as many people as he can walk into,’’ Limbaugh said today.

“This man will always be a hero to this country with everyone. Whoever pumped him full of these lies about what I said and embarrassed him with this ad has betrayed him, they aren’t hurting me. They are betraying this soldier.’’...

1. Oh, good, hysterical criticism of Fatso is ramping up

and Fatso is responding as predicted.

I hope this means his days are numbered.

2. From your mouth to God's ears. Let it be, let it be.

3. Draft rushbo.

[durrrty libby]

4. I don't understand how anyone can listen to that gasbag. I can't

[Jade Fox]

5. So in other words this soldier is dumb, right Rush?

Way to support the troops, Limbaugh.

Rush sounds just a tad bit desperate. I hope he is.

6. Limbaugh is intimidated

Normally he would just trash this guy, but instead he couches his remarks..."valiant combat veteran"...."betraying this soldier"....

15. i don't follow Limbaugh enough to know what he'd usually say.

But, I'll take your word for it.

7. The solider who appeared in this commercial is a real hero

rush is a coward and a draft dodging chickenhawk. This solider is a real hero and for rush to insult him is simply wrong and disgusting.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

8. Boy, Rush really doesn't understand "when in a hole, quit digging" eh?

[Skittles]

13. repukes never do

it's their sheer arrogance that gets them into deeper shit

[AlCzervik]

9. sounds like Rump Leakage is treading into Bill O'Reilly's super fun divorced from

reality land.

[Disturbed]

10. The soldier that he was talking about actually was wounded

after a suicide bomber touched off his explosives. I think it is time that a visit is necessary
at the Assclown's studio by people that he has insulted & a face to face chat take place.

17. He's giving the soldier the "Sheehan" treatment

He didn't feel he could criticize her, so he said that she was some poor soul being used by the left.

As if anyone who would criticize him like that must be ill-informed or phony.

[Rex]

11. And that is where he starts his decline.

See ya Gush.

12. Stupid, fat bastard

[Breeze54]

14. He's back on his 'street drugs!

See ya Limpballs!!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

16. let's hammer him on this, too

don't let up
contact any local business that advertises on his show in your area

[TheFarseer]

18. This was shocking even from him

To compare a veteran with a suicide bomber is disgusting beyond words. To me, this is on a whole 'nother level from a tired Hitler comparison.
