Personally I find this whole thing very funny. To my knowledge, no one ... that's NO ONE in the US military has any doubt that Rush Limbaugh is their ardent supporter. Even if they don't agree with his politics, they know he's on their side when it comes to their service of their country.

I'm 6 feel 1 inch and a little change tall. If someone came up to me and called me short, I would be totally unaffected by it. Especially if the person saying so measured in at a whopping 5 feet 1, which is a fairly accurate comparison of the Democratic leadership's support for the troops.

It's all just silly.

I also think it's funny. Beyond that, though, it's weird. I will go to my grave wondering how any functioning adult can listen to Reid or Israel or any of these clowns utter ANYTHING and still call himself or herself a Democrat. I would, quite literally, die of acute embarrassment if my reason for being was based on so obvious of a lie.

Still, I suppose if your entire life sustenance is corruption, what is one more lie, regardless of how transparent.

I think the waste of my tax dollars angers me more than if Reid was going about business as usual. Isn’t there a war going on right now? Doesn’t Reid have something better to do than attack Limbaugh on the Senate floor? Just because liberals whipped themselves into mass hysteria and got Imus booted off the radio waves doesn’t mean they can do the same to Limbaugh. There are a few differences - the first is that while Imus was thrown off the airwaves for things he actually said, senators Reid and Harkin are trying to put words into Limbaugh’s mouth. Second, Imus’ listeners are liberals. That is what you get when you try to tell a joke on a radio station when the majority of listeners are liberals. Liberals are pros at manufacturing hysteria because they have no sense of humor.

Yes I call it a “RUSH” to judgement by many who refuse to listen to the tape or read the transcript....What the Dems are doing now is shameless...Isn’t it fraud, waste and abuse if something is brought to the floor of congress based on purposely mis facts of the truth?

Of course it is, but there is a huge point to be made here and that is:

The DBM/dems are nothing but Libelous, Slanderous, Deceptive, Outright Lying Prix!

...And the saddest part is many people accept them and think what they are doing is just fine!

TWO BIG lessons I learned from the Rush episode:

Anyone who dares say the media is not Liberal, this is the event to point them too. The old media would not have put up with Harry Reed straight-faced, PLAYING THEM AS SUCKERS lying to them.

And second, if people EVER ask "why can't we all just get along" ...THIS is why. The Dems condone outright LYING, not "twisting words" or "looking at something with a different perspective" but outright, black and white, LYING!

A very eye-opening event indeed.

“The rat is learning he has knocked over a hornet’s nest by starting with Rush.”

Kind of like shades of Tom Daschle... One can only hope.

Reagan used to draw gales of laughter from increasing crowds in his career as he said the most dangerous words in the English language were “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.” In Rush’s hands this point gets illustrated with the tale of New Orleans Mayor “School Bus” Nagin. Combined with television’s visual images of a flooded parking lot filled with government-run school buses rendered completely ineffective in the life-or-death task of rescuing residents, in three words Rush illustrated with unerring and stinging accuracy exactly what a floundering, bureaucratized liberal attempt at help looks like — and its deadly effects. If you, to cite one not-so-stray example, are defending the idea that government can run health care in America better than the private sector, Rush becomes one formidable man with a microphone. But if you hope people will forget you have trashed the troops as ignorant murderers and Nazis, and Rush calls you out with sound-bite chapter and verse, playing back your words to millions, Rush becomes one very dangerous man indeed.

One year and a month away from the 2008 election the stakes are clear. Liberals are not fighting for Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama or John Edwards or anyone else. They are in the fight of their lives to defend a way of life that has become the indefensible. Beginning with contempt for the military, they have become the epitome of pacifism abroad and failure at home. Yet make no mistake. In this fight they will, as they have in the past, say and do anything — anything — that they believe is necessary to win.

Today Rush Limbaugh stands in their way, just as Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan once did. But like Ronald Reagan, Rush is not alone — and unlike Barry Goldwater in 1964, we’re not 38% anymore. Whatever happens in 2008, conservatives are here to stay, Rush will keep talking, liberalism will keep unraveling, and Americans will keep listening. And the men and women in uniform? It doesn’t even have to be said what they think of Rush Limbaugh.

I like to deal with rightists. They say what they really think—not like the leftists, who say one thing and mean another.

"I’m stunned that it’s Jim Bohannon saying this, but I haven’t listened in a looonnnngggg time."

I'm guessing it's a desperate attempt to remain relevant by hopping on a highly visible issue.

“democRats are idiots bump”

Demonrats
Damdems
Dimocrats
Dimwits
Dimbulbs
Demogogues

They are all of these things and worse. Embedded in their party is Socialism and Communism. Both are busy trying to tear apart the Last, Best Hope of Earth.

Stop them.
