Over the last week we have all watched Rush Limbaugh try to dodge questions about his massive case of word vomit when he accused soldiers that were against the war of being "phony soldiers". His missteps, doublespeak, lies and evidence fabrication actually made me worry for dear Rushbo. Is he on drugs again? Should we stage an intervention?
- How dare this man who never served a day in his life make judgments about any soldier that willingly served. Mr Limbaugh, you hid like a child in a University while Vietnam was going on.
- Limbaugh has changed his claims multiple times about exactly what he was referring to when he said that. First, he claimed that he was talking about a single "phony soldier" named Jesse Macbeth that had been arrested for claiming to be an injured Iraq War vet (I support this idiot's conviction 10000%). Next he claimed he was talking about a group of soldiers. Which is it? One or a bunch?
- Limbaugh claims that they were talking about the fake soldier when the "phony soldier" line came up. WRONG!!! If you listen to the tape or watch the video, you will see that they are not talking about Macbeth. They are talking about the people that don't believe in WMDs. It wasn't until two minutes later (with phone lines blazing in protest) that he brought up macbeth. Conveniently, almost all of the two minutes was removed from the evidence that El Rushbo offered.
Rush - just fess up. You don't like soldiers that don't agree with this war. We all know it.
Oh and as an aside - Democrats, knock of the stupid legal maneuvering around this issue. Let private interests and market forces dictate what happens to the man. Using the law to punish Rush is abhorrent to me because of the FIRST AMENDMENT. I may not like what he says, but I will defend his right to say it.
