Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) on Thursday demanded an apology from conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh, who called soldiers who oppose the Iraq war “phony.”
“This disgusting attack from Rush Limbaugh, cheerleader for the chicken-hawk wing of the far right, is an insult to American troops,” Kerry said. “Mr. Limbaugh owes an apology to everyone who has ever worn the uniform of our country, and an apology to the families of every soldier buried in Arlington National Cemetery.”
Speaking on Wednesday with a listener who said he used to be in the Army, Limbaugh described veterans who call for withdrawal of troops from Iraq as “phony soldiers.”
Limbaugh’s remark prompted criticism from anti-war groups and liberals. Media Matters, a liberal media watchdog, and Americans Against Escalation In Iraq (AAEI), a pressure group of Iraq veterans who oppose the war, lashed out at Limbaugh.
It is the latest in the rhetorical battle between supporters and opponents of the war. Conservatives harshly criticized Democrats who refused to condemn the “General Betray Us” advertisement, paid for by MoveOn.Org, which ran earlier this month in The New York Times.
From Daily Kos:
"It appears that Representative (and Senate candidate) Mark Udall will be introducing a resolution on Monday which would seek to condemn Rush Limbaugh's obscene attack on the integrity and patriotism of American service members."

Boy, when the left hits back you feel you've been punched by a melted marshmallow.

Wotta maroon!!! It’s all a buncha bunk. Out of context. Same old liberal crap. *sigh*
Ha, Ha , Ha, Ha.
Not!!!!
Udall is going to look like a fool when he hears everything in context. Rush was talking about Jesse MacBeth, and has the entire audio to prove it.
Maybe Congressman Udall should check the FACTS before he starts doing the bidding of Media Matters.
And here I’m still waiting for John F’n Kerry’s apology to me and all my fellow Vietnam vets.....
“Hey, Kerry! Bite me” !!!!
Go back to Mommy, John. You’re old news.
Rush should DEMAND that Congress allow him a rebuttal.
Well, Kerry would know quite a bit about being a phoney sholdier.
John F'n Kerry is an expert on phony soldiers.
There is no comment from Rush in this article. I assume who ever wrote this story did not contact Rush to get his side of the story. Typical MSM BS.
Seems to me that Rush doesn’t make a comment like this without a plan.
I think he’s handing them a shovel and he’s letting them dig their own pit...
John Kerry rising to the defense of Phony Soldiers!
You just couldn’t make this shit up.
notice that “the Hill” doesn’t bother to call Limbaugh for his side...They just pass along the smear.
I guess it takes one to know one.
has anyone ever taken mr. kerry to task for his “stupid soldier” remark?
I didn’t know about the “phoney soldier” until I heard about it from this smear and nonsense. From what I read about the “Cpl”, and his atrocities he “saw”, and then to find out he was in the army for 44 days and never saw combat, it just made me steamed. So what was supposed to be a smear tactic to take out Rush, just makes me hate these losers more, so great job, whackjobs.
Little Jessie McBeth and Jon Carry know a lot about being phony soldiers.
Open foot insert mouth, John F’n Kerry.
