Reid Uses Limbaugh to Rally Grassroots Democrats By Susan Jones CNSNews.com Senior Editor October 04, 2007

(CNSNews.com) - "Dear Friend, Demand that Rush Limbaugh apologize." That's the latest salvo from Democrats who want Americans to believe that the influential talk-show host has insulted U.S. troops.

Writing on behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee -- a political group that works to elect Democrats -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Thursday said he normally ignores Rush Limbaugh. But Limbaugh's recent comment about "phony soldiers" went too far for him to stay silent, Reid said.

"It's one thing to call me "Dingy Harry" (as Limbaugh calls Reid) -- it's another to insult our men and women in uniform, calling those who oppose the war "phony soldiers" as Rush did during his Sept. 26 broadcast, Reid said in his message to DSCC supporters on Thursday.

In fact, Limbaugh did not say that soldiers who oppose the administration's conduct of the war are "phonies," although Democrats and liberal interest group insist that's what he meant.

A transcript of Limbaugh's radio program makes it clear that in talking to a caller, Limbaugh was reminded about "who the left props up as heroes." He used the phrase "phony soldiers," and a short time later, he brought up one particular soldier, Jesse MacBeth, who was sentenced to five months in prison for falsifying his military records.

Reid and 40 other senators sent a letter of complaint to Clear Channel CEO Mark Mays this week, demanding that Rush apologize -- for something he never said, Limbaugh insists. Now they're also urging DSCC supporters to send a letter to Mays, demanding that he "take action" and force an apology from Limbaugh.

Why isn’t this clown ex-communicated? He’s bearing false testimony on the most powerful forum available?

The fear by Democrats regarding Rush is palpable.

FEAR, they fear Rush.

Coming from the SML who’s party has described our troops as ‘terrorists’ and ‘nazi’s’ this is pretty amusing.

I sent Dingy an e-mail on his bearing of false witness against his neighbor. Did you know that he actually says on his web-site that he is a better member of his church because he’s a Democrat? What audacity. I suggested he examine the Commandments before he beatifies himself.

That is one class I could never pass in school "mind reading", looks like the Dems have it mastered though. /s

“Pinky” missed his path in life, he should have been a jester that way he could sing for his bread...

The kooks want us to cut and run Pinky, no amount of Rush Limbaugh attacks can change that desire.

Rush Limbaugh seems to be the only prominent and high profile Conservative to take on these clowns with gloves off.

Shame on the rest of the Conservative establishment. It is 20 years late that we take off the gloves and shove all the crap back into their throats. The "new tone" debacle has also set us we back.

Lee Atwater was the last RNC'r to hit the rats hard, and he died a long time ago.

When a man gleefully walks into a presser and proclaims (with an evil smile on his face) that he killed the Patriot Act, that is all you need to know about Traitor Reid.

I got that email. I sent it back with my comments....I’m sure they won’t like getting my comments. But, you know, if they send us a link with a chance to comment, we should. Otherwise, they get lost in their own lies.

Ahh, so this guy really was a phony, just like Rush said.
