ABC Reported on ‘Phony Heroes' Three Days Before Rush Limbaugh Did (This is really hysterical)

This is really hysterical, folks, and definitely requires all drinking vessels be properly stowed before continuing.

Just days before Rush Limbaugh was attacked by a number of press outlets for discussing "phony soldiers" on the air, ABC's Brian Ross did a segment on "World News with Charles Gibson" dealing with "phony heroes...scam artists...posing as the war heroes they never were, claiming credit for acts of courage in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Seriously, I sometimes think the quickest and best way for conservatives to get their message heard above the din is to start and finish each address by telling the media/dems/libs/and other assorted idiots to f*ck off.

All that was missing was “I’m a staunch Republican”...

There's a company strength of phonies here. They all have 'stories' of peril and all have anti military leanings.

Washouts, Wannabes and Section 8s abound. I thought there was a law to stop this sort of thing.

The losers at Media Matters only listen to or watch “conservative” shows, so ABC News would fall under their radar.

Rush is saying, Drivebys don’t throw me into the Briar Patch, please don’t throw me into the Briar Patch, please, please!

Pray for W and Our Troops

Tornado, I think Rush was talking about the likes of Jesse Adam Macbeth as being phony soldiers. Not the true blue volunteers who have put their lives and the lives of their families on the line. I see these people everytime I go to the base for whatever reason...They are MY PEOPLE, just like me and my husband. We’ve been there, done that, but at a different time.

new cruelty, sometimes we’re a little dense or maybe a little off color, but we conservatives are NOT crude. That is a terrible misrepresentation of the original meaning.

When this first happened I had the impression that Rush was handing them a shovel and pick to dig a pit for themselves.

There are some phony guys out there. But there are some very well meaning, correct from their prespective and articulate folks out there that are in love with what’s happening.

The reason I tell people this is because J.F.Kerry is so modest, he doesn’t want to brag about his war record. If he had a mind too, I am sure he could wipe out the whole mess of them over there, but being the modest guy that he is, he instead ponders and expounds on the inability of the ones in charge. This is more productive, of course. That and the fact that his war wounds hurt when the weather changes.

I usually support Rush Limbaugh and enjoy his show from time to time.

Sure evidence of a phony Rush fan and/or seminar caller/lurker.

CNN actually reported about phonys today.
Mentioned the same scumbag that Rush did.
Even said he was used for propaganda by the enemy.

No mention of Rush though.
No mention of how the left embraces them.

I'd prefer that as opposed to the terrible misrepresentation of the original meaning that currently serve in congress.
