Edward's gay exemption
Posted on 10/04/2007 1:26:54 PM PDT by Roberts
An Air America producer just sent over some transcript from an interview their Richard Greene (not our Richard Greene) conducted with Elizabeth Edwards, in which she questioned Rush Limbaugh's Vietnam exemption:
My classmates went to Vietnam, he did not. He was 4F. He had a medical disability, the same medical disability that probably should have stopped him from spending a lifetime in a radio announcer’s chair; but it is true, isn’t it? If he has an inoperable position that allows him not to serve, presumably it should not allow him to sit for long periods of time the way he does. I think this is a serious enough offense for the people who fund him, who buy ads and allow him to be on the air, need to be asked if this is what they really stand for, do they think it is alright for someone who has never served to denigrate the men and women who have simply because they are expressing an opinion. Frankly, I thought that is what we are fighting for.
In the interview, Edwards also suggested that John Kerry shouldn't have conceded when he did in 2004.
RG: Were you disappointed that Senator Kerry conceded as quickly as he did?
EE: I was very disappointed, not just because we did not count the votes, but because we promised people that if they stood in line and fought for the right to vote, that we would fight with them. And I was very disappointed that the decision was made by the campaign, over John’s objection, not to fight.
“Neither chose to enlist; Rush claimed a medical deferment as did many others”
I was very involved in the draft situation and fought the draft and won a permanent deferment before enlisting.
I considered the medical deferment as one that people cannot argue with, whereas having a high number or being protected by your church or whatever do not protect you from questions.
Remember - This is the wife of the racist speaking.

One of you just HAS to do a graphic of Edwards in a dress and heels and Elizabeth in a suit and tie .... please ? ;)
Did her treatments turn her into a moonbat, or was she always this loony?
Does not Rush have a history of chronic back problems, for which he takes pain med?
Elisabeth, don’t make fun of or exploit other people’s pain. What goes around tends to come around.
Lol, maybe when I get done with the one of Hillary in a straight-jacket!!
We hope to put her ‘there’!
Edward's gay exemption
That’s so true but she really makes her husband look like an a$$.
Moronic.
If I recall Elizabeth has previously said they were at a disadvantage because her husband wasn’t black or a woman. I disagree. I think they could run as the first gay couple: Elizabeth and the Breck Girl.
No, there isn’t.
>>>>>Is that true that the Edward’s Son was drunk when he crashed his car and was he only sixteen at the time of his death?<<<<<
yes. Several NC State Police have said it.
I would love to see a Hillary v Elizabeth slap fest.
So then why Harry, did you let 30 Democrat Senators (yourself included), who never served a day in the military, to sign that opinionated letter to the CEO of Clear Channels?
rotten on the outside, rotten on the inside...
Too funny.
She makes Terezzzzzzzza sound sane.
THAT was the plan.
