AND NOW . . . amidst billowing clouds of fragrant, aromatic first- and second-hand premium cigar smoke. . . it is time for . . . that harmless, lovable little fuzz ball, the highly-trained broadcast specialist, having more fun than a human being should be allowed to have, from behind the golden EIB microphone, firmly ensconced in the prestigious Attila-the-Hun chair at the Limbaugh Institute of Advanced Conservative Studies, with talent on loan from G-d, at the cutting-edge of societal evolution, with half his brain tied behind his back — just to make it fair, the all-knowing, all-caring, all-sensing, all-feeling, Maha-Rushie! America's Anchorman, Truth Detector, Doctor of Democracy, and Chief of the Patriotism Police. He is the man who runs America. He knows the Democrats like every square inch of his glorious naked body. He is ready to do what he was born to do--That's host. Get ready to what you were born to do--That's listen (and post your comments on the Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Thread).

We love to hear Rush Limbaugh,
Excellence in Broadcasting.
From sea to shining sea,
Millions and millions listen.
Conservative voice of freedom,
Heard throughout all America.
A message pure and truthful,
The downhearted are encouraged.
Integrity and honesty his motto.
We love you, Rush.
Listen to Rush Limbaugh.
G-d Bless You, Rush Limbaugh.

IT'S OPEN LINE FRIDAY

Moving Ad Made by Iraq War Vet
September 11, 2008

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: This is such a great thing. I found it on YouTube yesterday.
There is mild controversy surrounding this ad because

it is suggested by Democrats
that it was paid for by John McCain and his campaign.
It has not been.
It was not paid for by anybody other than the man who did it.
His name is Joe Cook, and Joe Cook is an injured Iraq war vet, lost his lower leg, foot.
But you don't know that until the end of the piece.
The piece starts with a tight shot of Joe Cook in an outdoor setting,
he says what he says,
at the end of his remarks, Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA comes up as Joe Cook turns around and walks away,
and that's when you learn that he is an injured Iraq war vet.
I want you to listen to this, particularly on this, the anniversary of 9/11.

Dear Mr. Obama: (click on photo to the right)

Having spent 12 months in the Iraq theater
I can promise you, this was not a mistake.
I witnessed firsthand the many sacrifices made by the people of Iraq.
Those sacrifices were not mistakes.
Iraqi people are just like us. They want a chance to live in a secure world, free from tyranny, free from terrorism, free to prosper, free to raise their children and pass on a future.
Are they better off today than they were in 2002?
You bet.
I've seen many men sacrifice their lives for the Iraqi people.
They died for a purpose, not a mistake.
They died giving hope.
They died promoting freedom.
Do you rescue a fireman just as he's about to save a child?
When you call the Iraqi war a mistake, you disrespect the service and the sacrifice of everyone who has died promoting freedom.
Freedom carries with it a price.
Because you do not understand nor appreciate these principles, sir,
I am supporting Senator John McCain for president.
He, too, made a huge sacrifice promoting freedom,
because he understands the fundamental truth,
freedom is always worth the price. (playing of Lee Greenwood song)

RUSH: That was Army Specialist Joe Cook, an Iraq war veteran,
wounded by an IED in Iraq May 2007,
lost his left foot and leg six inches below the knee.
And you see him walking away after making his remarks here.
He's walking on a dirt road in an outdoor setting.
And everybody is saying McCain paid for it.
McCain did not pay for this.
This is not a paid-for by McCain campaign ad.

Its a GREAT ad and a GREAT SOLDIER

[tioga]

I love this one.......Post 84

[IMissPresidentReagan]

OH MY what a wonderful ad! May God be with this soldier and all the soldiers putting their lives on the line so I don’t have to.

[truthluva]

I wish this could be shown as a nationwide ad for John McCain instead of just on YouTube.

[sono]

This soldier's video can be seen HERE. Upper Right. Visually Powerful too!

[Cinnamon Girl]

I think she was calling him "Charlie" over and over to remind us of two other Charlies: Charlie the Tuna and Charlie in the Box-- two losers from our childhood.

"Starkist doesn't want tunas with good taste; starkist wants tunas that taste good. Same goes with our Presidents."

"Nobody wants a Charlie in the Box. I'm a loser."

ABC’s Gibson grilled Palin hard, but it may backfire

Good article...I’m surprised.

[Jemian]

I don’t see why some private citizen couldn’t pay for advertising on TV and advertise it themselves.

[Fawn]

What are you talking about?

I wouldn't care if it was new or old....I'd bitch if they wanted to hang me...

[IMissPresidentReagan]

Youtube probably reaches a greater audience than most televisions; however, look for news media to start playing to criticize it - thereby giving McCain free air time - that is how McCain’s ads have gotten to be mainstream.

[mylife]

Youtube is WORLDWIDE.
You underestimate the intenet

Youtube is WORLDWIDE.
You underestimate the internet

[Joisey]

Jesus did not espouse salvation through bigger government.

The last celebrity to compare himself to Jesus Christ was John Lennon. As I recall, that resulted in a public backlash.

[HonestConservative]

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
