Elizabeth [Edwards] questions Limbaugh's draft deferment
Politico ^ | 10/4/07 | Ben Smith

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.

I think John is the one who shaves his legs and pits in this family.

As a former radio DJ, I can tell you Ms. Breck Girl's husb...I mean wife: It IS possible to stand and talk on the microphone as well, you know.

You REALLY ARE stupid, aren't you, dear?

I know...is she that bold as to think we won’t recognize that her husband ALSO didn’t serve in Vietnam?

This is how brainwashed the Libs are...just soak it up and not see the hypocrisy.

“Is there a Mr. Edwards?”

No, there’s a Mrs. Edwards and a Ms. Edwards. They’re apparently of the same sex.

That's quite a presumption.


How would she know about anybody else's medical conditions? Did Rush release his records? I know John Kerry has yet to sign DOD SF 180 authorizing a full release of his military records... as a result we cannot view them.

So what is the basis for her supposed facts?

The advertisers do not "fund" him. He makes them big stacks of cash, even if he charges confiscatory ad rates.

If anything Rush funds the advertisers.

Elizabeth [Edwards] questions Limbaugh's draft deferment

If you can't trust them to tell the truth about what Rush said last week, how can you trust them to tell the truth about anything from long ago. It isn't as if Rush is a "John Kerry" running for political office. But then the Democratic slander merchants have no clue about the difference.

Oh yeah, we all know that all soldiers ever do is to sit down. So it makes perfect sense that a deferment for Rush’s butt problem that makes him ineligible for the draft would also make him ineligible for being a radio broadcaster. Yeah. Inescapable logic for someone whose brains are in their ass and talks out of the same orifice. You just have to wonder how shamelessly stupid these folks have to be to portray themselves as they do, but in another sense, it’s unfathomable.

OKAY...then, let's have ONLY those who have served in the military VOTE in Presidential elections!
