Today's pansy ass politicians

>Maybe Bill just needs to visit Rush's Web site or listen to his program . . .

. . . and perhaps read his books? Done all three. He's a very smart guy.

Have you ever read his books?

>but take two words from a ongoing radio show conversation and try do
>distroy Limbaugh's reputation.

I don't intend to "distroy" anyone. He criticized US troops and vets - not just once, but several times. So have many others. For god's sake, deal with it.

>Rush by a majority is very well appreciated by the Military and their
>families for his unwavering support.

Agreed. No one is disputing that.

>myopic, dishonest bigotry.

Can't express yourself without insults?

You're proving my point here. Rush criticized US troops. The left wing has done it. The right wing has done it. Deal with it. Your fury at seeing a conservative hero show the same willingness to criticize US troops as anyone else is quite telling.

It is what it is. Quit use broad brush (and completely bogus) stereotypes and I'll quit calling you on them.

It's not really much of an issue with me.

As you have become angry enough to call me a myopic, dishonest bigot, your postings tend to belie that. But if you have decided it's not much of an issue - good for you! Will you now apply the same sort of logic to the moveon.org ad?

Not anger.... just calling a spade a spade. And I commented on the content of your posts (you know - play the ball), not on you as a person.

Apples and oranges.

It does not matter what you claim to be a pattern. The claim regarding this specific situation is BULLSHIT. Rush criticized a specific person, that was in FACT a PHONY SOLDIER. He did NOT attack all soldiers that oppose the war.

To continue to misrepresent this FACT is to be intentionally dishonest.

People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

So he has a pattern of doing this as well.

Now, there's nothing wrong with Limbaugh attacking the troops. They're people. They can be good and bad. Perhaps Hackett really WAS trying to pad his resume instead of serving his country. Perhaps the soldiers who wrote that letter ARE "phony" or whatever. That's fine. He has a talk show; he can say whatever he wants.

But the right will never, ever admit that he has made any of these attacks. because it would take away their favorite source of phony outrage - the disgust, nausea and horror they claim to feel when someone "attacks the troops." They can't admit they do it too, because they look like hypocrites if they do. And neither side can have that!

You are so far off the mark it's almost tragic. Limbaugh is one of the most notable supporters of the military and has been for the past 20 years he's been on the air. Period.

One day, Limbaugh and Sen. Kerry visited Walter Reed on the same day...care to guess who was better received by the troops?

Criticizing and attacking are two different things. I've heard just about everyone criticized by Limbaugh at one point or another. I've never heard him attack the troops. I have however heard people endlessly attack him for things they say he said (but didn't) as has been happening the past week.

If you listened to whole segment (about 3 minutes) you would see there is nothing to attack here. In fact, the gang on the left are grasping in an effort to put a mark up and keep the "fairness doctrine" alive.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright

I heard the UNEDITED first version..... it was FAKE SOLDIERS ( as if that boil on his ass fake patriot has a clue)

It was in the context of any soldier who does not agree with his chickenhawk support of this war...
But Lush Rimjob ... being the stellar performer that he is..
EDITED out the SOLDIERS and said SOLDIER in the new version that you can find on his website. But plenty of people had copies of the ORIGINAL....OOOPS

I guess he wanted a DO OVER

[sundevil777 102]

I expect that you have read that he did that, as opposed to actually having done what it would take to know it yourself.

Rush doesn't claim that he used the singular, he admits the plural was used. Why not use the plural, when so many fake soldiers do in fact exist, and in fact so many have been prosecuted just in the state of Washington.

To try to make the use of the plural to mean so much is really pitiful, really grasping. Grasp away, though. I am very happy that libs are willing to make themselves look so bad.

Right. Haven't argued that. He has, however, attacked INDIVIDUAL soldiers on more than one occasion.

>Limbaugh and Sen. Kerry visited Walter Reed on the same day...care to
>guess who was better received by the troops?

Probably Limbaugh. Now, which one served their country during Vietnam and which one ducked out because of a cyst on his ass?

Kerry is a good example of another veteran that Limbaugh has attacked quite often. Again, doesn't mean he hates the military - just means he dislikes one particular member of it. Which is what happened in this case as well.

>If you listened to whole segment (about 3 minutes) you would see

I have. I think if you could take off those right-wing blinders for a moment you'd see that he's now trying to cover his ass, and thus blowing this way out of proportion.

Yes, of course. However that is not the basis of the attack on Rush. The claim is much more than that.

He's not trying to cover anything, just trying to get the whole story reported, and to make Harry Reed and others look the the idiots they are for believing what mediamatters.org says (Hillary claims responsibility for this group, so taking news from them isn't too wise).

Man, sorry I'm late to Bill's straw-grasping marathon, but consider this crazy face here my response to all his posts on this thread. Hell, I'm in the military and even I knew what Rush meant (and it wasn't offensive at all, Bill). As far as Rush being the one to blow it out of proportion...I don't believe he was the one who brought the issue of his statements to the floor of the U.S. congress.

Your mature eloquence on the issue is refreshing, as always. Although you forgot to mention the word "rePUBEicans" or whatever you call them.

That was a given.. but none of the Right Wing Fringe would ever dis him for being a dishonest greedy Chickenhawk NEO-CON rePUBICan. Birds of a feather flock together.

So are you saying based on the posts we have to read on a weekly basis here, we have a disproportionately large number of the Right Wing Lunitic Fringe in SC???

We all have our own interpretation of reality.

I'm guessing you have me lumped in with the "Right Wing Lunitic Fringe". If so, which of my posts led you to this opinion?

Well since Lush Rimjob tends to pander to the Right Wing Lunatic Fringe Base of the rePUBICan party.. I would think support of him and most of his blathering would qualify.

Well, I'm a libertarian. I like Rush anyway. "RePUBICan", that was the word...now I remember.
