Of course he would want that. But the soldiers fought long and hard to get him on AFN in the first place. They know the truth.

Wesley Clark would now take things one step further, whacking Rush Limbaugh off the Armed Forces Network radio airwaves...

Is not Wesley Clark a war criminal for helping Muslims kill Christians (SERBS)? He should be in an orange jump suit awaiting trial for sedition or treason. The Albanians helped the Nazi's against the USA and against Jews, whereas the SERBS pushed them back. So he wants Rush Limbaugh off the air? What else does he want? ...the USA to lose the war in Iraq? I really wonder how he got to the rank of General; IMO, he behaves more like a much lower ranked officer or enlisted man. IMO, he is a leftist revolutionary socialist pretending to be a Democrat.

The rat bastards must be real desperate if they are condemning Rush for exposing a fraud. I don’t think America has ever had a bigger bunch of corrupt pigs in Washington DC.

Found this:

EMAIL IT TO ADMIN@AFRN.US

For opinions to be posted on AFRN. Use it if you want to let them know how you think about the Rush situation.

Thank you. That's a great link and a great idea. But I am not and have never been in the armed services. I know I don't have to be to drop them an e-mail but I think it should be left to our service men and women to speak their minds on AFRN content. By no means am I suggesting that others should not contact them that is just my personal view.

Thanks again, that is a great thing to post on FR.

I used that “Dump Rush” thingy and wrote the following instead of their canned message.

Wesley Clark, former General and current left-wing nutcase has decided to attack Mr. Rush Limbaugh under completely bogus circumstances. Apparently, Mr. Clark and other left wingers in this country are completely unable to tell the truth, or to seek it even when it is staring them directly in the face.

Last week, the LEFT decided to attack Rush Limbaugh for a statement he made, which they took out of context and implied he was talking about soldiers who do not support the war in Iraq. This was an out and out lie by the Left in America, and an attempt to divert attention from Hillary Clinton’s shady money collections schemes, and Hsu, as well as the Moveon.Org attacks on General Paetraeus.

These attempts at the “censure” of a PRIVATE citizen are disgraceful and every member of Congress should SHUN them. In fact, every member of the United States Congress would do well to emulate Mr. Limbaugh in his truthfulness - something many members are currently NOT DOING.

Rush Limbaugh’s show is aired on Armed Forces Radio, which is funded by taxpayers’ dollars, and as a former, retired military member, I expect the show to REMAIN on the air for the military. Not only that, I DEMAND that the entire show be run for the military. To cut it to one hour is showing the bias of the Congress to disallow both sides of issues to be heard.

As a member of Congress, you can prevent these types of attacks on Limbaugh and others. STOP THE CENSORSHIP!

Please do NOT Dump Rush From Armed Forces Radio - to question the sincerity of our “phony” MUST be done.

Thank you for your consideration.

Negative. The monies that are used come from public funding dollars doled out by Congress. Those monies come from our taxes, and everyone who believes this nonsense is just nonsense ought to have a say. Non-service member or not.

Rush Limbaugh tells it like it is, and the left doesn’t like it. My question for you is, if you do nothing at all, do you think the outcome will be good?

Furthermore, military members who receive those shows are NOT in positions to constantly write to, nor complain about the services they receive.

Personal point of view here, I was stuck in Egypt for many months during the Iranian Crisis. We had no EMAIL in those days, stamps were few and far between and we were simply happy to be about to get something, anything directed to us. I was in a different situation than most, I was a shortwave listener and had shortwave radios available in the equipment I maintained, so I didn’t get the same news the rest of the guys got.

Don’t sit on your duff and say “It’s someone else’s issue with which to deal”. It’s yours TOO>

Wesley Whackjob....Political opportunist....

He follows the procedure of the convinced left, who took the methodology from the propoganda departments of the state run media of the former USSR.

Step 1. Find something said by a political opponent that can be taken out of context.
Step 2. Twist the remark to be unrecognizable as the original, and promote it as fact. Remember truth didn't matter to the media of the former USSR,either. Power of the "elite" did.
Step 3. Knowing that fully 40% of the American public is either dumb as a brick, or involved with the left for personal gain, enlist your sycopants in the MSM to promote your lie, to multiply the outreach of the lie, and hope it sticks.
Step 4. If people start to question your lie, then enlist the MSM to impune theose who question it as morally lacking and evil. Try to find something in their past which may or may not be relevant to the issue at hand to cause doubts about the person challenging your assessment. If all else fails, make something up.

Clark is kissing butt to be the next Secretary of Defense or of the Army. God help either office if he gets it.

You are assuming that I’m doing nothing and suggesting that writing to AFRN is the only thing that can be done.

"Ashley gentle, kind? He couldn’t tell a strong woman (think Hillary, only attractive) “no” in spite of having a truly wonderful, devoted wife. He was a weenie."

This is true, BUT, he NEVER acted on it. That, in a way, would be telling her "no", yes?

No, I’m not assuming such thing.

You said because you weren’t in the military you’d “leave it” for military members to do something.

So, what are you doing?

Somehow Rush’s show already gets edited to one hour daily (IIRC) on Armed Forces Radio. How did that happen and who determines what is heard in that one hour span?

OK, I couldn’t resist sending an Email to my congressman and sinators.

My email:

Dear Friend,

Last week, Rush Limbaugh labeled American servicemembers who support an end to the war in Iraq “phony soldiers.”

EVIDENTLY THE LEFT WING HATE AMERICA CONSPIRATORS HAVE FORGOTTEN TO READ Limbaugh's TRANSCRIPTS.

Rush Limbaugh’s radio show is aired on Armed Forces Radio, which is funded by taxpayers’ dollars. This money is not intended for radio show hosts to spout insults at our soldiers. These “phony soldiers” have simply exercised their right to free speech, as Rush Limbaugh does on a daily basis.

JUST PLAIN GARBAGE GENERAL CLARK. DO YOU CONSIDER WASH OUT SOILDER JESSIE MCBETH TO BE THE TYPE OF SOLDIER YOU WOULD WANT IN YOUR FOX HOLE DURING A FIREFIGHT. IS JESSIE MCBETH THE EPITOMY OF A LIBERAL SOLDIER?

Congress can prevent Limbaugh from further disrespecting and censoring the voices of our soldiers on the military airwaves.

THIS IS PURE AND SIMPLE CENSORSHIP THAT GENERAL CLAK IS REQUESTING.

Join me and thousands of others - email your member of Congress and demand that they dump Rush from the airwaves of Armed Forces Radio.

I UNDERSTAND THAT RUSH IS THE PREFERED TALK RADIO HOST BY A LARGE MAJORITY BUT WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT THE SOILDERS WANT WHEN SOME IN CONGRESS ARE PLAYING POLITICS WITH OUR MILITARY.

Thank you!
