The ruckus over the Rush Limbaugh "phony soldiers" statement is dying down. It ought not to. There is a huge story here.
What did Rush say? In a Sept. 26 conversation with a caller to his program who claimed the media never interview "real soldiers," but just people out of the blue, Rush added for emphasis, "the phony soldiers."
The left saw its opportunity and pounced with a vengeance. Led by the George Soros-funded and Hillary Clinton-inspired Media Matters outfit, it unleashed a scorched-earth attack on Limbaugh for insulting the military, stating that any servicemen or women who might oppose the war in Iraq had been defamed by the talk show host as "phony soldiers."
The television networks, newspapers and leftist blog sites were ablaze with stories about Democratic outrage. There were calls for his show to be yanked from the Armed Forces Radio Network. There were demands that Clear Channel make Rush apologize and that advertisers pull their sponsorship.
Presidential candidates denounced him. Congressional leaders the usual crowd of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Tom Harkin, John Kerry, etc. denounced him. A formal congressional resolution condemning Limbaugh was drawn up by Rep. Mark Udall, D-Colo., and reportedly had over 100 Democrat (and one Republican) signers. The message was clear: Limbaugh's anti-military insult could not, and would not, be tolerated.
How disingenuous was this leftist attack on Limbaugh? Let us count the ways.
He's visited the troops on the battlefield in Afghanistan and brought comfort to our wounded at the Walter Reed Army hospital. He's raised and donated millions to military charities. It is no wonder that he is the single most popular personality on the Armed Forces Radio Network.

Yep, it must be extraordinarily frustrating for Liberals everywhere to have everything you have ever believed in thoroughly disproved on a daily basis for over 20 years now. Deep, stinky doo-doo....
You make a good point. I think we’ll have to destroy the old media to really make some headway on this.
BTTT!
I wrote to my Congressman (Sestak-blechhh!) expressing disapproval at his comments on Rush Limbaugh and why he had no such similar remarks regarding the MoveOn.org ad against General Petraues..or why he accepted money from Norman Hsu. Well, I haven’t heard back yet...but I’ll bet I’m on some ‘list’ now.
If we are to stand any chance next year,we have to keep the heat on, come what may. I cannot in good conscience let these things slide.
Thanks for the link. Interesting article.
Everytime I read about Soros - the mastermind behind Hillary ...all I can think of this the evil Blofelt in the Bond movies. I wonder ...does Soros have a white Persian cat?
once again the opposition proves what we all knew...they are jackasses from the word go with nothing factual to base their argument and once again Russ made ASSES of them.
yikes...back off the camera someonme. We don’t need to be looking up this jackasses nose.
This was one of Saul Alinsky's dictums and Hillary, his faithful acolyte, is following it to the letter.
I wonder how much trouble it will bring them now that Rush has a copy of the playbook. He was quoting from it a day or so ago.
Nostrildamnus, strikes again!
You’re too much.
Good Pic. Love the CNN logo! LOL :)
The Crescent Logo is great and appropriate with the traitors at Crescent No News, just spin.
Laughed my a$$ off earlier too when Pookie had that graphic.
