We all know Rush is a big fat idiot. See this amazing and heartbreaking post if you need further confirmation. In fact, even if you don’t, read it anyway. Devastating.

Rush Limbaugh was refering to 1 Phony Soldier. That is all!!! Anyone who says anything different did not listen to his show.

This is a fake controversy designed to distract from serious consideration of the larger issues, and you are buying into his agenda by discussing this.

One phony soldier – maybe. One general who betrayed us by distorting the truth. In the case of the general it’s a sin for the media to criticize him – we are traitors and are apitting on the troops. Realy, that’s what they say. Call a soldier phony because he doesn’t support this depraved war and that’s perfectly fine. Anyway, did you read the guy’s post? Forget about Limbaugh if you want, just read it to see what our soldiers are going through – soldiers who meet Rush’s criterion for being phony.

Well, I’d remind you that it’s your precious Democrat-controlled senate, not right-wing loonies, that condemned the Moveon.org ad.
Yes, I read the article. The article frames the discussion in terms of “support the troops”. Oh, how brave they are. Look, one guy got his leg shot off,and he’s reenlisting. What selfless brave soldiers. Here’s a guy digging a grave while Iraqis stand around smoking cigarettes. And his buddies are dying all around him.
This is crude agitprop, nothing more. The guy’s in the military, you can be sure they vetted this post.
Framing the discussion in that manner has the effect of closing serious discussion of what the hell these people are doing in Iraq in the first place. And that’s probably what Rush wants.

Before you anti war liberals condem Rush for his statements maybe you should actually go to his website and READ what he actually said in its full context. After that, maybe you will not drink the left’s kool-aid so quickly!

Wow, my site is flypaper for nutters! I heard what Rush said. We have come to different conclusions, apparently. But I sure know whenever a “liberal” says anything at all that you can pounce on, or if a “liberal” even wears a head scarf at a Muslim holy site, you guys come out roaring with rage, foaming at the mouth, both fists swinging. Now, two wrongs don’t make a right (though in this case, of course, I’m not wrong at all), but it’s kind of fun to see that as the Dems start to learn from the Rethugs how to get their messages out (an area where the Dems have been pitifully ineffective until recently) the right throws a tantrum Hey, its a sign of respect; they’re simply adopting your own tactics, though at least the messages they are pumping out are true, sincere, noble and right. Or at least they are a lot less slimy than the likes of O’Reilly and Malkin & Co.

LOL. It’s fascinating, after so many years of Rush’s lies, that anyone still thinks this spin is the truth.

I’m not familiar with US politics. But Richard my friend you must have done something right; it seems the pro-war neocon faction has bookmarked your blog for defensive assault. You should take that as a compliment.
I have a question for those Rush fans who are stomping their feet in defiance here: did you actually read the blog that Richard links to? Don’t you think that a frontline soldier has a right to call Rush a hypocrite, regardless of which anti-war veteran Rush had insulted? A better option for a chickenhawk, as always, is to shut the f–k up, don’t you agree?

Personally, I have no respect for a big fat gringo who have to fly to Dominican Republic to get laid i.e. Rush Limbaugh. Even worse, Rush Limbaugh is a conservative preaching family value? He is not only an idiot, he is evil!!Curious? Search cat69 in google :). Trust me evil (since I have been called that and neocon before) knows evil the most.

Funny words comming from a three time divorced, drug addicted, fat, stupid, draft dodging coward. I rather be liberal who stayed married to the same woman for 28 years, isn’t a drug freak, served his country for four years in the military, than that half wit you chump ditto heads worship. By the way you big mouth chickens, line up, sign up, or shut up. With such a brave bunch of big mouths like you, how is that we are short of troops. That’s what I thought, you yellow elephant cowards. You talk big as long as it isn’t your fat yellow asses on the line. Once Fat Ass Limbaugh serves a day in the service then he has earned the right to call another soldier a phoney. He hid like a little bitch. Live it with it you so called CONservatives.

Thanks Fat Cat, thanks Lisa. Limbaugh has proved his badness many, many times (remember the Michael J. Fox imitation?). Scandalous, that the nutters still will defend his every word.

Richard, Your distortions of conservative viewpoints just make you look silly. Why don’t you stick to your blog’s supposed purpose?

“Conservative viewpoints”? Whose conservative viewpoints are you referring to? GWB’s viewpoint or Ron Paul’s? What makes you think that Rush Limbaugh represents “Conservative viewpoints”? Are you sure that Thomas Fleming and Paul Gottfried will agree with you?
If you are honest, you’ll admit that even those who call themselves “conservatives” in the US can’t agree on what “conservative viewpoints” represent. So who are you kidding when you accuse Richard of distorting conservative viewpoints? Is there such a thing as “conservative viewpoints” to distort?

If there’s anyone “distorting” here, it’s Limbaugh, who edited his own transcripts of the incident and uses a follow-up show to “prove” he didn’t mean to impugn American soldiers who don’t agree with this war.
The cognitive dissonance necessary to continue supporting this flaming Nazi gasbag is astounding.

I’ll leave it with Fat Cat’s response to the claim that Richard ‘distorts’ “conservative viewpoints.” As to his “blog’s supposed purpose”, I’ve been an avid visitor for, what, four or five years and this is the kind of entry that typifies this site, as the recent attack by Malkin supporters attests to. ‘Truth speaking to power’- isn’t that its ultimate purpose?

The guy Rush was talking about claimed to be an Army Ranger, but actually washed out of basic training. By “phony soldier,” Rush persumably meant someone who lies about their military record. (This is my first attempt to post to a banned site from inside China, so I hope it comes through.)

No, Peter, I am afraid you’re incorrect. RL censored his own transcripts to make it look that way and also played a later episode of his show. If you read the full transcript, it’s obvious that he refers to soldiers who are against the war.
His latest is calling a wounded combat vet the equivalent of a suicide bomber.

Whatever way you spin it, the audio is there if you want to hear it:
CALLER 2: No, it’s not, and what’s really funny is, they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and talk to the media.
LIMBAUGH: The phony soldiers.
He was NOT talking about McBeth or whoever, he was talking about the dissenters, the votevets.org, the soldiers who wrote the op-ed in the NYT, 3 of which were dead already at the time of his disgusting remarks.
Keep sticking out for this pig if you wish.
