In a blog to the Huffington Post, former NATO Supreme Commander Wesley Clark called for Congress to immediately take steps to remove conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh from Armed Forces Radio.
Last week, Rush Limbaugh labeled any American soldier who supports an end to the war in Iraq as "phony," noted Clark.
"We challenged Limbaugh through an email campaign to invite VoteVets.org's Jon Soltz to his show and repeat these same insults to an Iraq war veteran's face. Over 10,000 people responded and emailed Rush -- but to our disappointment, he has refused to respond to our request.
"It's time to put real pressure on Rush Limbaugh. His show is broadcast on Armed Forces Radio, and this time we are going to go straight to the lifeblood of Rush's show -- Congress. Congress has the power to remove Rush Limbaugh from Armed Forces Radio, and it won't be as easy for elected officials to ignore our call."
Clark further decried the fact that Republicans in Congress have drafted a resolution supporting Rush Limbaugh, "commending [his] relentless efforts to build and maintain troop morale through worldwide radio broadcasts and personal visits to conflict regions."
"That's outrageous," concluded Clark. "Rush Limbaugh's 'phony soldiers' comment should not be commended -- it should be condemned. And it's time to tell Congress to act swiftly to hold Rush Limbaugh accountable."
Note to Ashley Wilkes...Rush is slapping you silly on the air right now.
Ol Weasly Clark, darling of the left wingnuts
Clark is a wacko.
Hey Clinton boy, why not let the troops decide who they want to listen to????
How can Clark be such a stupid man and make such a fool of himself. What he says bears no resemblance to the truth of who and what Rush Limbaugh is and does. Rush has been the most solid supporter of our troops. Can Clark say as much?
Clark should be nixed from opening his mouth anywhere!
But its ok for the libber-als to badmouth the military on the air.

‘Note to Ashley Wilkes...Rush is slapping you silly on the air right now.’
Yep.
Using Clarks own words about how much he appreciates the support of Michael Moore was devastating, and broadcast on AFR....(chuckle)
The worst thing about the “Return of the Clintons” is the return of their wicked elves.
I mentioned when this first broke that they would be gunning for his hour on Armed Forces Radio.
Wesley Clark? Isn’t he the General that was in charge of the mass murder down in Waco during the Clintoon reign?
I believe that it was Mark Steyn who tagged Clark as, “a crazy man pretending to be sane”.
Take a vote in the military. Let the TROOPS decide!

I hurry home just to hear Rush on Podcast. This week has been good.
A coworker of mine served under this idiot several years ago, and just before the 2004 elections, he said if Weasley got elected, the military would suffer worse than under X-42. Weasley hates the military that allows him to say stuff like he is doing.
FWIW, most people in the military love Rush, and would love to get their hands on Weasley and the other “phony soldiers” like Macbeth and Skerry.
Is Wesley still trying to bomb those Russian troops?

It is very frightening that a man with his mind set led our armed forces. Although they would, most would have a very difficult time following him. I wonder how many he tainted.
