you repeatedly skip over the falsehood
And still......after 4 or 5 hrs, now.....you STILL haven’t provided me with a quote or cite from any dem who has said anything resembling freddies gratuitous statement “yet Democrats claim he is not being strong enough”.....and the reason is (as you know perfectly well) no democrat or any of their proxies have ever said it.........but they will, sooner or later, since freddie put it into their playbook.
I think our basic difference on this is that I see it as freddie needing Rush; whereas YOU see it as Rush needing freddie.
Boehner (and others) said it straight up and pulled no punch, long before Rush went on the air yesterday....freddie me-too’d, but made a bad choice by adding the extraneous punch-pulling false clause.
Any reasonable person can read Senator Reid's letter and correctly interpret it as it saying "Rush doesn't support the troops". Just because it isn't a direct quote doesn't make that untrue. It's called summarizing, look that up while you work on capitalization -- your repeated "freddie" lines are childish.
Thompson's statement was as solid and straightforward as Boehner's, though more concise. Yet you pretend they're different because Thompson goes further and provides an insightful summary of the loony left's position, while pointing out the silliness of it.
I don't see Limbaugh or Thompson needing each other either way -- they're both more than capable of looking out for themselves. But that doesn't change the fact that it was the correct thing to do, nor that Thompson was the only Presidential candidate willing to call out the Democrats for their shameful actions.
So... here's the challenge. Find me 10 FReepers who agree with you that Thompson statement is false and/or offensive. Not even the Mittwits have gone that far. Have them post here. Otherwise, I'll take the aggrieved party's (i.e. Limbaugh's) word as the final one, not yours.
