Worth a try. Worst thing that can happen is that it will bounce back.
Here is what I am sending to this weasel>ALL feel free to copy, edit and send it to your critters!!!
Mr. Senator: You and your colleagues in Congress is a laughing stock in the eyes of normal thinking people, do you really think that we are buying your propaganda from the Senate floor? Have you ever heard of an “Army Ranger” with the name of Jesse MacBeth, Senator? He and HE alone is what is called the “Phony Soldier, maybe it would be more fitting if you would be called a “Phony Senator”?
Here is the transcript from what YOUR enemy Rush Limbaugh said on his program, and it also clearly shows that you Mr. Senator is constantly smearing our brave men in uniform by your comment on the Senate floor together with other of your colleagues’ “treasonous” remark: “This war is lost”!
……………to illustrate something for you today, folks. I've done it before. I want to do it again. I call this the anatomy of a smear, and what this is is a great illustration of the liberals and the Democrat Party playbook for '08, which is underway now. The morning update on Wednesday dealt with a soldier, a fake, phony soldier by the name of Jesse MacBeth who never served in Iraq; he was never an Army Ranger. He was drummed out of the military in 44 days. He had his day in court; he never got the Purple Heart as he claimed, and he described all these war atrocities. He became a hero to the anti-war left. They love phony soldiers, and they prop 'em up. When it is demonstrated that they have been lying about things, then they just forget about it. There's no retraction; there's no apology; there's no, "Uh-oh, sorry." After doing that morning update on Wednesday, I got a phone call yesterday from somebody, we were talking about the troops, and this gentleman said something which you'll hear here in just a second, prompting me to reply "yeah, the phony soldiers."
VIETNAM VETERAN JOHN KERRY 1971: They told the stories of times that they had personally raped, cut off the ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned off the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in a fashion reminiscent of Jen-jiss Khan. Not isolated incidents, but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with a full awareness at all levels of command.
Lies! Senator Kerry was insulting and smearing members of the armed forces back in 1971, people he didn't even serve with and things that he didn't even see. Does the name Jesse MacBeth rise up again here in this discussion of phony soldiers? Here is John Kerry from December 4th, 2005.
KERRY 2005: [T]here is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, uh, uh, uh, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the -- of -- of -- of -- uh, historical customs, religious customs, whether you like it or not. Iraqis should be doing that.
DURBIN: If I read this to you and didn't tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have happened by Nazis, Soviets in their Gulags, or some mad regime, Pol Pot or others, that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that's not the case. This was the action of Americans in the treatment of our -- their -- own prisoners.
And of course it was Senator Durbin who issued, then, a lame apology after the firestorm that his comments caused. Let's go back shortly, not long ago, September the 10th, when General Petraeus appeared before the House committee. Before he had said a word, before he uttered one word -- and this is the day, of course, the MoveOn.org ad came out, calling him "General Betray Us." Here's Congressman Tom Lantos lecturing a four-star general in dress uniform sitting before him. LANTOS: The fact remains, gentlemen, that the administration has sent you here today to convince the members of these two committees and the Congress that victory is at hand. With all due respect to you, I must say, "I don't buy it."

I haven't heard the full broadcast (not a 24/7 member). Haven't yet found this discussed on Rush's website (maybe it's there now and I just overlooked it). Does anyone have any thoughts they'd like to share on this?
They (Media Matters) added back the omitted part of the transcript because they think it demonstrates Rush is covering up and that it proves Rush meant something bad with the "phony soldier" comment.
Personally, it appeared to me a continuation of the conversation and he returned back to the point. How dare he wait 90 seconds!
Anyone else have thoughts on this?
