You brought up Boehner as a good example. Tell me how Boehner’s comments are substantially different than Thompson’s? And please be sure to use Thompson’s entire response, as it’s not particularly long, you know.
Boehner: "Moveon.org and its cohorts on and off the Hill would certainly like to change the subject away from the slanderous advertisement they placed in the New York Times about U.S. General David Petraeus"Thompson: "Congressional Democrats are trying to divert attention from insulting our military leader in Iraq and pandering to the loony left by attacking Rush Limbaugh."
Boehners response is very direct and does not mischaracterize what is happening or even state that (as freddie does) that dems have said that Rush needs to “be stronger” in supporting the troops.
I asked you waaaay upthread to cite a quote of a dem who states that Rush needs to “be stronger” in supporting the troops........you have yet to do so, and I presume that you cannot. Then from your own link to the Dem letter, I quoted exactly what they affixed their signatures to, and it doesn’t come even close to what freddie pretends that they say.
It appears that your interpretation or inference (whichever) is consistent with whatever is convenient.......but remember it is Rush who often reminds us that “words mean things”. Even freddie knows this, and that is exactly why and how the dems etc aren’t at his fanny today with the dry corn-cobs.
