Thanks to all those phony soldiers, and to the real ones, too.

During the September 26 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh called service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq "phony soldiers."

Pardon my skepticism, and certainly no disrespect for the dead Montana soldier, but in my time in the Army I never heard such a word as “recalcitrant” escape the lips of any Staff Sergeant. I doubt if it’s spoken all that much in Ismay, either.
The soldiers had the help and probably the encouragement of a writer with an agenda, from a newspaper which has always had one. Its continually declining circulation now mainly consists of those who want desperately to consider themselves sophisticated as well as compassionate, even if that means always branding the U.S. as the chief villain on the world stage—-in fact, especially if it does.
I await the inevitable onslaught from outraged liberals. (Is there any other kind?)
Texan said:You should be ashamed of yourself, ff. You just want everybody to think that Rush called soldiers who disagree with our efforts in Iraq, "phony". According to some of the comments further into that blog, the transcript of the broadcast doesn't reveal anything like that.
Here's one of the comments further into the blog:
"...you may want to actually go and listen to what Rush said. He called people like Jesse Macbeth and the guy who wrote the fake New Republic accounts from Iraq, "phony soldiers"."
Here's another:
"You may see that your "phony" accusation is a bit off base once you actually hear what was actually said..."
Here's another:
"Get your facts strait before you start accusing Rush of calling service men or women "phony soldiers" if they are opposed to the war in Iraq. If you had actually listend to his radio talk show you would have learned that he was specifically speaking about someone who was never a member of the U.S. military. A person who was trying to pass themselves off as a soldier that was against the war in Iraq."
Here's another - along with a link to the broadcast (I haven't tried the link):
"You have been duped by Media Matters. They disseminated only the first part of Rush's conversation and cut out the second part. He was talking about fake soldiers like Jesse Macbeth, who pretended to be an Army Ranger. You can hear the whole thing here:

In any case, I join with you in thanking the REAL soldiers.
No, but I was ALMOST duped - by you and your deceptive little blog. I ALMOST took it at face value without checking into it further. I ALMOST believed that Rush had really said that ALL soldiers who disagree with the war are phonies. And if he HAD said that, I would join you in condemning him for it.ff said:I read the comments. And I'll say "you have been duped."

But he didn't say that. That's pretty clear to anyone with an open mind - to anyone who can be objective.

I agree, Sandhusker. They act like they're scared of Rush - anything to demonize him.Sandhusker said:The Dems got their tits in a wringer over the "General Betrayus" crap and now they're really reaching to try to get the Reps with this "Phony Soldier" deal. Any objective person can tell that Limbaugh (and I'm no fan of is) was talking about people lying about being soldiers or lying about their service. This is just making the Dems look even worse.

A lot of these liberals that are whining about Rush over NOTHING didn't have sht to say about the Betrayus ad.

Larrry said:I hardly listen to Rush. Just don't much don't why, but I will listen again today as I have the last two days. I made a donation to the Reps in honor of the Dems on this.
Furthermore all you Rush haters,. If they can silence Rush, THEY CAN SILENCE ANYONE INCLUDING YOURSELF Be careful what you wish for.
