It’s easy for Rush Limbaugh to sit back in criticize soldiers who have been in combat since he’s obviously 4F - fat, fake, fraudulent, and flatulent.

I wish some genius would right a history of military corruption.  A general in Paris had a huge black market operation that was so big that it prevented Patton’s Third Army advance at a crucial time.  Vietnam was a huge profiteering enterprise with no other real purpose.  Even McNamera admitted it.  The gulf wars speak for themselves.  I often wonder whether or not my whole anti-submarine enterprise wasn’t a huge graft mill for Lockheed aircraft.  No other countries seemed to take as much trouble hunting submarines, when any one of them could destroy much of the Eastern seaboard.

“No one loves graft and corruption like a soldier loves graft and corruption.”

Maybe

But

Maybe

No one loves graft and corruption like the people who profit from graft and corruption.... At the Honorable soldier’s expense.

When Dad returned from WW II after five years of uncomplaining service, including graves registration duty at Normandy, he began his career five years later than my uncle who stayed behind and worked the wall Street defense boom. They joked about it all the time. My uncle loaned my father the money to buy his first house, my father took in my cousins when my uncle died of a heart attack (Dad said too much wall street, not enough exercise.)

When my cousin returned from Vietnam, after 18 months of service he sat around, drank, and complained about how “the system had used him.

My father died a happy,wealthy man with his family all at his bedside. my cousin is still a drunk!

In two hundred and 32 years this country has never been to war without a Snyder.  Soldiers are OK when we need them.... It’s just we don’t need them as often as we have used them.

Ignoring Duff Limpball, mAnn Coulter, Sean Insannity and Bill O’Pervert isn’t going to make them go away.
Attack these rabid dogs the way they attacked Kerry, Gore, Max Cleland, Gen’l Wesley Clark et al and give them some of their own medicine back.
If you heard Rush’s whinefest anytime last week you know these Bush shills cannot take the heat.
Rush sounded like a wounded animal in the woods.
“What did I do my fellow Americans, it’s, it’s, it’s Hillary (Hitlery to him)and BJ Clinton who did this.
NO.  YOU did it, Rush.

Franks is a liar.

No one loves graft and corruption like a soldier loves graft and corruption.  And, those who have the misfortune to have honor, will always put it aside to cover for those who have none.

“No one hates war like a soldier hates war.”

General Tommy Franks

The fakeriots are always for war but never can muster up the courage to go. The fakeriots are for funding the war, but “not on my nickel!” The fakeriots love war so much because their investments in armaments and oil gain them big profits. That their fellow countrymen and women go to their war without proper body armor and equipment, well—it is simply not their problem! That their fellow countrymen and women never return or return half-dead/half-alive, well—that’s simply the name of the game with war! What are the fakeriots? They are the guys and gals dressed in their Armani suits with little flag pins trumpeting on their left lapels, “See me, I’m a patriot. See my flag pin?” Easy...so, easy. Never having been on a battlefield, not even close to one, they shout about patriotism while denigrading those who ask questions about the motives for having gone to war and insult those who are greatly distressed by the individual tragedies of the soldiers, their families, the Iraqi citizins, and the shame this great nation has suffered because the fakeriots, not having any sense of history, ethics, or community, are deluded, thinking they are serving their country by making big profits from their investments. Shame on them all!

Rush Limbaugh Defended by Arnold Schwarzenegger-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ5SgCaCCNM

Doesn’t Joe Conason realize that Rush Limbaugh is “98.8% accurate” in all he says?  It makes one wonder how Rush manages to squeeze so many blatant lies out of that other skimpy .02%.

I knew Kerry would lose in August of ‘04 when he didn’t confront the thugs on the right about his “purple-heart, paper cut band-aids”.
He ignored the Swiftboaters, the Rove created vacuum became occupied by neocons and christofascist nuts and Kerry didn’t slap them.
The lies piled on to more lies.

If Democrats are going to win in ‘08 they must attack.  They must get in the mud with the rightist pigs and get dirty.
If they’re going to ‘rassle with garbage they’re going to get smelly.

Let them continue to drop turds into the Republican punch bowl. The hubris which they evidence will eventually bring them down. They are intellectually lazy and when challenged, try to go “deep”, quoting some historical esoterica which demonstrates how very out of their depth they really are. They are entertainment.

Right-wing Rush supporters are not moral actors.  They will use any means at their disposal to maintain their political position in this country.  They are basically at war.  That is why it is futile to make moral appeals to conscience with these people.  They are total moral and intellectual cowards like the KKK.

Where’s the outrage from the Rush listeners about Doughboy Rush, a Vietnam deferment-begging chicken, who has evolved into a media-king chickenhawk? 

Rush is part of the elite cluster f… which is adored by the policymakers from the White House to the Rushies in the outhouse, and whose rhetoric fuels disinformation in support of the far right neo-CON pipedreams. His media platform serves the political armada of fear propagandists. The traditional conservatism of the republican party died with Ike, and since then, Rush et al has become the voice of a morally bankrupt posse of media moguls.

Rush is a Fat Pig of a Douche Bag.
Nothing more than a career minded opportunist.

You can see him in archive news reels in a sheriff’s outfit “Leaning On” civil rights protestors in Alabama during the 50’s and 60’s.

Please tell Hannibal Lecter where this Pork Pie of a Fat Ass lives.

Dee, you’re. Rush was referring to service people who oppose the war, and not to some bunch of chicken hawks (like himself). No one should be criticized for opposing any war, even a just war. Critics remind us that war should be the absolute last resort, started only when no other remedy is possible, rather than the first. Anyone who has served knows that it truly is hell, for soldiers, their families, the enemy civilians and combatants.

Our men and women in Iraq (those in uniform) have sacrificed time and effort, some now have broken families, and all will have health problems from the depleted uranium and other toxic substances.

Dee, Rush is once again fat, sassy and comfortably out of harm’s way. Let him shut up.

Certainly Rush’s “phony soldiers” remark was a reference to Bush, Cheney and himself, no?!

So Rush Limbaugh put his foot in his big mouth and lied about it afterward.

What makes this news? Like he hasn’t done it before?
(ask Donovan McNabb)

I say this to Rush:

The mind is a terrible thing to waste, in this case, Rush is a waste that is a terrible thing to mind.

“If people like you and Al Franken and Keith Olbermann would stop advertising the moron, his only possible popularity would come from people YOU CAN’T REACH in a thousand years, stupid, dull, bigoted, fools from the right wing lunatic fringe.”

That’s silly—nothing Conason, Franken, or Olbermann has said about Limbaugh made him more popular.

“Alan Greenspan, are agreed that our Iraq adventure is about oil”

Not really; you should listen to his interview on Democracy Now!  Greenspan’s claim is that Hussein wanted to control the straits of Hormuz—that it was all about oil for *Hussein*—and that’s why Greenspan thought him a threat.  But that’s absurd.  Greenspan also said he believes Hussein had WMDs and was surprised when they weren’t found.

You’ve got it wrong Dee.  And, I think you are willfully spreading false info.  I heard the quote too, and it clearly referred to soldiers who hated the Iraq policy.  The so-called false testimony soldiers are elsewhere on the transcript.

It’s time to quit with the lies.  We check on everything that right wingers say.

I heard Rush’s call to “Mike” and heard the comments thereafter, and have since heard all the rhetoric concerning it.  He was not talking about soldiers who had fought in the Iraq war.  He was talking about men who say they were soldiers and have fought and recieved metals who have not.  He was speaking of men who lie about their service. He had just finshed talking about this Jessie McBeth guy and how he lasted 44 days in the military and then went out and made up stories about how the soldiers were haninging people in the street and committing atrocities.  It was all lies.  He had dicussed 8 men who had been arrested for doing the same thing to get VA benefits.  Why arent the soldiers against the war angry about men like this?  Rush was not talking about these soldiers who are against the war and certainly not talking about this soldier who now has a television ad against Rush.  How many of you who are outraged actually listened to his program that day and not some sound bite or pieced together script of the program?  Dont call me names and say Im some right-wing Rush-head to try and discredit my comments.  The fact is Sen. Harry Ried got it all wrong and got all head-up about something he knew nothing about.  How many of you who critize Rush’s program listen to it?  How many of you get your information about what he says from some blog or liberal website?  Until you can say that you are a listener and that you heard the actual words he uttered then you have no right to make a fuss over something that was “supposedly” said.

Flush Rush!!!!!

When I was in the Navy, we used to refer to an exemplary sailor as a “real” sailor.  We looked on them much like one would look at a dog walking on his hind legs.

Rush is an entertainer looking for manufactured controversy and ratings.  He has cashed in on all of this.  Fox news is the same way.  Fox, like Rush, is contentless but as long as cooked up controversy can be manufactured, they get paid.  Ignore the morons.

It’s a pity Alan didn’t speak up when he was still fed chairman

Nothing further need be said.

I used to think that attacking the lunatic right wing fringe like Limbaugh and Coulter was a huge waste of time and took time away from serious discussions of relevant issues.I was wrong these moronic issues are what people vote on.The attack on Cleland and Kerry.The call me Harold advertisement in Tennessee.I would like to think that my fellow citizens were bright enough to see what bullshit this stuff is but alas I was wrong and if the democrats are to win this is a necessary exercise.The great Joe Connasson instead of focusing on something relevant like I do not know maybe getting out of Iraq has a column on the right wing buffoon.Things have not really changed since Willie Horton.The democrats through necessity have learned to play this moronic game.Do you wonder how we could end up with a moron as President?
