Sestak: ‘I condemn the words’ Limbaugh used

Sestak: ‘I condemn the words’ Limbaugh used.

Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA) said this morning on Fox News that he would likely join Rep. Mark Udall’s (D-CO) resolution to condemn Rush Limbaugh’s “phony soldiers” remark. He explained, “I condemn the words that MoveOn.org used, not the organization’s right to say it. I condemn the words, if this is how it’s stated — that Rush Limbaugh used, not his right to state it.” Sestak, who retired as a Navy admiral after serving for 31 years, lashed out at Limbaugh’s smear against pro-withdrawal troops, arguing that it’s important to encourage military people to “think and critique differently”:

Your military remembers that age-old maxim from the 1600s that a nation that draws a broad line of demarcation between its thinking men and its fighting men will find its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools. You need to have military people who think and critique differently.

1. Moveon told the truth but Limpbaugh was just plain rude and wrong
Moveon was aimed at the Bush administration who has Petraes as a puppet. Limpburgh was different he was plain rude and wrong

2. That's my rep
When chickenhawk Curt Weldon assailed Sestak's military cred, he assured Sestak a win. Before 06, Weldon was untouchable.

I hope Limbaugh gets kicked off Armed Services Radio like he got kicked out of his NFL contract for his racist comments on Donovan McNab.

6. Not one republican can explain this
MoveOn puts up an ad telling the country that bush's general betrayed the American people. He supported bush's failed policies instead of the military fighting this war.

Then rush gets on the radio and calls our men and women who are really fighting the war phony soldiers.

So the one who supports bush can't be criticized BUT
the one who trashes our military is praised.

What in the hell is wrong with this country. THE MEDIA. If they didn't take the republicans side in every single damn thing where someone criticize bush this war would not have been, much less last as long as it has.

I keep saying and saying, THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE is the only thing to help and since the democratic congress has no backbone, or balls it will never happen. Looks like we elected the wrong people folks. Clean house.

Hey that would be a good bumper sticker

SWEEP OUT CONGRESS - HELP THEM GET A BACKBONE.
