Reid Continues To Press For Limbaugh Apology
WASHINGTON -- October 8, 2007: Clear Channel CEO Mark Mays last week declined to apologize for a September 26 on-air remark by Rush Limbaugh -- syndicated by CC-owned Premiere Radio networks -- so now the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has sent an e-mail, signed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, to supporters asking them to contact Mays and demand that he make Limbaugh apologize.
"It's one thing to call me 'Dingy Harry,' Reid wrote, "it's another to insult our men and women in uniform, calling those who oppose the war 'phony soldiers' as Rush did during his Sept. 26 broadcast."
The e-mail, which includes a direct link to send an e-mail to Mays, ends with, "Rush certainly has the right to say whatever he wants -- but we have an obligation to speak out when he goes too far."
On September 26, a caller to Limbaugh's show complained about the press's coverage of the Iraq war, "They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and talk to the media." Limbaugh responded, "The phony soldiers," to which the caller said, "The phony soldiers. If you talk to a real soldier, they are proud to serve."
Reid complained on the Senate floor that Limbaugh had called all soldiers who oppose the war "phony soldiers" and sent a letter to Mays -- signed by 41 Democratic senators -- demanding that he condemn Limbaugh's words. Mays declined to do so, saying, "I will not condemn talent" for expressing their views.
Limbaugh has steadily maintained that he was referring only to Jesse MacBeth, who gave media interviews reporting atrocities by American troops before admitting in court that he had been discharged from the Army after six weeks and never went overseas. Limbaugh referred to MacBeth by name later in the call in which the "phony soldiers" exchange took place.
Yes. And notice that Mrs. Bill Clinton’s latest fund-raising scandal has been conveniently swept under the rug by the MSM in favor of this manufactured story.
Reid is a laughing stock. God help us because this person has such power in Congress.
Sure he’s a liar. But on the flip side we at least know HE knows he’s a liar. How do we know that? because apparently he listens to Rush well enough to know his nickname. LOL
So in the three hour block Reid schedules to catch the show, he’s heard Limbaugh educate him about just how wrong he is..and the big baby is just too embarrassed to own up to it. That, and like all other Liberals, he hopes he can be the one to finally mount Limbaugh’s head on the wall. better men then you have tried harry, all failed.
Cool. Do you have a source for that? There are all kinds of possibilities for exploiting that piece of information.
Give it up, Harry. Quit embarrassing yourself.
Since when does a government official, in this tragic case, a Senate Majority leader, have the right and ethical approval to use his government position to HARASS AND ATTACK THE CONSTITUIONAL RIGHTS OF A PRIVATE U.S. CITIZEN???
This is pure STALINISM in my book. This guy should be not only fired, but made an example of for all the pinko-reds in our Congress that American citizens are not going to put up with their attempt to look, sound and act like Castro or Chavez.
B@stards all. That inlcudes you, Pelosi.
Using the Senate as a sanctuary. What a pussy.
We are just a couple of more years away from a genuine civil war. The Democrats are going full bore with Stalinism.
Rush should indeed apologize.
He should apologize on behalf of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha, and a bunch of other Democrats, for being Copperheads who support our enemy in time of war, who seek to undermine our military and America’s defense at every turn, and who embrace Moonbat scum in their disdain and hatred of America and all it stands for.
I think Rush should keep calling Dingy Harry out to debate him in public.
He did it last week, and Reid’s silence spoke for itself.
Hey Dingy...why don’t you apologize for refusing to condemn MoveOn’s ad, trivializing the sacrifices of our troops by saying the war is lost, and pushing for our defeat when we’ve made progress and are getting closer to winning?
A side comment: he doesn’t seem to like being called “Dingy”, but he should look up what his last name means in Farsi.
In a party made up of low life, anti-American, anarchist, traitorous, lying, cheating, stealing, satan worshiping, enemy abetting, socialist/communist/racist/radical islamist, defeatist, blame America first deviants... you are very close to being the biggest d!*k-head in the entire evilcrat party.

Well,it's mentioned in the trivia section that imdb.com has for the film.Also,the site listed below discusses it at some length.But as for exploiting it...with the Former Twelfth Lady having a dead lawyer and several close friends being convicted felons just how are you going to use this to hurt him?

Try this, senator. Wish for an apology in your left hand, and crap in your right one, and see which one fills up first....
I’m not so sure Reid’s issue is altogther this intelligence.
He comes across as a snide little weakling. If there ever was a Girlyman on the Senate floor, it’s Harry Reid. He just sounds like one of the twigs who ran from the football when it came his way in gym class.
