ABC Reported on ‘Phony Heroes' Three Days Before Rush Limbaugh Did (This is really hysterical)

This is really hysterical, folks, and definitely requires all drinking vessels be properly stowed before continuing.

Just days before Rush Limbaugh was attacked by a number of press outlets for discussing "phony soldiers" on the air, ABC's Brian Ross did a segment on "World News with Charles Gibson" dealing with "phony heroes...scam artists...posing as the war heroes they never were, claiming credit for acts of courage in Iraq and Afghanistan."

I demand an apology!

Seriously though, we all know the game the dems are playing to try and do their own type of Petreus ad vote on Rush’s comments. The GOP should immediately call for a vote to condemn ABC for their phoney hero report to up the ante and make the dems look silly.

Not quite...

House Democrats to Offer Resolution Condemning Rush Limbaugh and The Group Behind Smear Campaigns Against Limbaugh and O’Reilly is linked directly to Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as billionaire leftist George Soros.

I hope the ABC transcript and the Rush transcript are entered into the debate. Will there be a Republican with the guts to enter them in?

Douche bag post from your link, below the story.

I usually support Rush
September 30, 2007 - 19:14 ET by mrsimele
I usually support Rush Limbaugh and enjoy his show from time to time. However, this is one incident I can’t tolerate. The brave men and women of our military are fighting a scary war, for freedom. For Rush Limbaugh to say they are “phoney soldiers” is an insult to everyone who has ever wore the uniform. When Rush made fun Parkinson’s disease by mocking Michael J. Fox as a shaking-mess, I forgave him. When Rush insulted African-American’s for the NFL, I forgave him. However, I can’t forgive someone that mocks our brave soldiers. This is not politcs; you either are with our military or you are against them. Apparently, Rush is against them (as is anyone that supports Rush on this issue).

I can’t wait for the censure in the House tomorrow and Rush’s show. It should be entertaining as all get out.
