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.

I borrowed it from Pookies Toons
We thank Reagan Fanatic, for the skill and humor of the stuff we borrow.
Rush prevailed because he bit back and he bit back hard. Mark Levin, the great one, was on radio and threatened Congressman Nostril will a multimillion dollar lawsuit for “tortious Interference with a Contract”. The 5’4” nostril has been silent on the subject since them. The Republicans could learn something from these two. When attacked and there is no truth to their specious allegation, you go nuclear on them. They are bullies in the Chairmanships and cowards as men. Rush and Mark were not going to take it and systematically are dismantling the damnable democrat, pus pocket abcess, corrupt, lying, skunk loving, prevaricating, communist sympathizing, empty suit idiots, who are directly trying to tear the heart out of the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Where are the Republican Congressmen screaming from the housetops?
Thanks all!
Thank you.
Nice tagline.
It’s dying down because it backfired big time on the RATS. They are so clueless, so tone deaf, and so enslaved by the moonbat left, they keep shooting themselves in the foot. The more apolitical ordinary Americans hear what nutjobs the RATS have become, the better for us.
Their latest claim that NASCAR fans are diseased will cost them big.
