Oops - beat my post by 10 seconds! Great minds think alike.
Nice to see some offense.
BRAVO... Congressman Kingston!
Loved the Kingston trio. One of our fine Freeper song parody writers like Doug from Upland or someone else needs to write a parody of the Kingston trio song MTA or Tiajuana Jail to describe Dingy Harry and the democrats excoriating Limbaugh and using a Bill of Attainder which is un-Constitutional to do it to boot!
GO HOUSE!
Harry Reid is a disgrace to this nation.
If there were one ‘pub senator with a spine, they’d attach an amendment to the resolution with quotes from Reid, Kerry, Durbin, Pelosi, and the rest where they’ve insulted the troops with their defeatest talk and actively underminded their mission for political gain.
Fighting fire with fire. It’s brilliant!
Who thinks that there is a chance in hell that Speaker Pelosi will ever let this reach the House floor?
Whereas Mr Limbaugh's comments have been purposefully taken out of context, by a second rate political hack, who owes his allegiance to a third rate, left wing group of political extremists, from Bezerkely.
"While running for his Senate seat in 1984, and again while running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1992, Tom Harkin has faced criticism for claiming that he had flown combat missions over North Vietnam. In a 1979 round table discussion with other Congressional Veterans, Harkin said of his service as a Navy pilot: “One year was in Vietnam. I was flying F-4s and F-8s on combat air patrols and photo-reconnaissance support missions”. These comments were later published in a 1981 book by David Broder. After subsequent inquiries by Barry Goldwater and The Wall Street Journal, Harkin clarified that that he had been stationed in Japan and sometimes flew recently repaired aircraft on test missions over Vietnam. His service flying F-4s and F-8s was later, while he was stationed in Cuba.
Hey Kerry... Rush says, “Bite me!”
UYA Media Matters!
Good.
The dems are shooting themselves in the foot again over this.
I actually hope the dems keep pushing this, because I know where it is going to take them. Off a cliff!
And I hope they keep it up. I want MoveOn et al to be arrogant as possible and put up every looney left candidate they can in the primaries. We need to lay down or jab them as necessary to keep them arrogant and think they have the upper hand.
