Kingston (R-Ga.) introduces resolution to support Limbaugh
Lawmaker: Limbaugh Needs Defending

Wednesday, October 3, 2007 8:44 AM

Written by Nathan Burchfiel and Monisha Bansal, CNSNews.com Staff Writers

Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) said Tuesday that he introduced a House resolution to support Rush Limbaugh because the conservative talk radio host "needs defending" from Democrats who have introduced resolutions and made statements condemning him for using the words "phony soldiers" on his radio show.

2. This is a good thing.
To support their resolution, Rush's defenders will be forced to defend every moronic thing Rush has ever said.

"When Lyndon Johnson ran for Congress, legend says, he wanted to spread the rumor that his opponent was a pig-fucker. Johnson's campaign manager said, "Lyndon, you know he doesn't do that!" Johnson replied, "I know. I just want to make him deny it.""

4. If I falsely maligned a person, I'd need defending
FROM MY DAD. However, neither My Dad, God Rest his Soul, nor I are/were members of the party of "responsibility."

Craftily worded press release, abetted by that bright shining light of Journalism newsmax, "for using the words phoney soldiers on his show." Why yes honorable mr kingston that's all he did, use words. How can one possibly be held responsible or accountable for that?

"Words Mean Things." rush limbaugh

6. As with all these other resolutions, I ask . . .
How will defending Rush Limbaugh . . .
1) Win the war on terror?
2) Help stabilize Iraq?
3) Provide health coverage for the average US citizen?
4) Advance anyone's agenda (left or right)?
5) Insure the prosperity of the US economy?

It achieves nothing for nobody, not even most Republicans.
My God, to think that Rush Limbaugh is this year's Terri Schiavo.

7. Kingston thinks the troops are phonies too.
Why won't Republicans support our troops?
