Real soldiers love to kill people. They signed up to kill people. They joined the Army because they are psychopathic killers, right? Rush is a moron.
Any man caught with another man's Viagra after a man-holiday in Key West is a Phony Heterosexual.
oh I agree...the talk around FL is Rush is way GAY!!!
but why not he is the head GOP mudslinger!!!
Attack the messenger again. Stick to the topic which is what he said.
Endoscopy
>>Attack the messenger again. Stick to the topic which is what he said.
I'd say in this case the messenger IS the message. The message, and the messenger, is that only those who unquestioningly support W & the Iraq debacle, especially those with absolutely no combat experience, have a right to discuss it. And those who have volunteered & risked their lives on all of our behalf have no right to question the war.
Add to that his condemnation of Bill Clinton for smoking a joint while he was popping illegal pain pills, & condemning Clinton for having an affair while he was doing the same, and you'll see his complete hypocrisy.

AAhhh... to be a true soldier, one must unquestioningly support your C-in-C, and pray that the Nuremberg defence will work if necessary.
Nah, American's aren't so complex. You just need to have an anal cyst and be willing to send other people's children to die while you have a flag made in China behind you.
oh yeah and why is China not in this fight???
they are too dam smart that is why!!!!
what suckers we are here in the great USA!!!
Oh Rush Windbag...I live in CONservative country and have point blank asked many real (not phoney) Republicans if they think we should leave Iraq...all but one told me yes. And even the guy that told me NO, said they need to set a timeline for withdrawl.
Limburger...is a Dinosaur and will not last another 2 years.
All his Drug abuse has caught up with him.
Typical lib basher. Start calling names right off the bat. He has been on for many years and his rating make him the most listened to talk show host. Those ratings are why the broadcasters keep him on the air. Why do you think these ratings will plummet so much that in two years he will be off the air. Especially looking at Air America going down the tubes because of ratings.
What abuse of pain pills. Every pill he took was prescribed by doctors in a single office. They all had access to his medical records. Libs ignore this LITTLE fact in their rants.
I have problems with some of the things Rush says but attacking the messenger is a trick to obscure the message. Discuss the message.
Riiiiiight, my dear! Back a draft-dodging, chickenhawk coward whose courage comes from a pill.
Your ignorance in regards to the conglomeratization of radio which lead to ol' Lushburger's "success" is showing. There hasn't been any *real* competition for decades now, and won't be until a reform-minded president, Congress, and FCC busts up the media monopolies!
oh poor rush and his PAIN!!! oh yeh right sure we all believe it!!!hahahah! his pain>he took so much pain pills he went deaf!!!did his so called "doctor " know about that???
Why don't that fat cow do the world a favor and turn himself in to the local nut unit where he belongs?
If windbag is so BELOVED by the American troops why has he never done a tour of Iraq????????????????
I'm wondering mamasan- I've never really heard of this chap Limbaugh- I'm assuming he has served previously and speaks from experience?
My apologies, I should have read down further and would have had my question answered.
Just last week, I was introduced to a great bloke who is stationed here in Japan (his name is Will and is a technician in the Airforce), we shared a beer and chatted. He is off to Iraq pretty soon. He's 24, educated, from a loving family and considers himself a patriot. He said he has reservations about going as he is not really 100% sure what he is fighting for.
He was a quiet, softly spoken, thoughtful man- A phony, he definitely was not. I can't help but feel he is not the exception to the rule as this Rush chap would have you believe.
Endoscopy, no one else is allowed to do what neo-conservative Republicans did for decades?
Why? Cause it might hurt your little feelings? TALKING ABOUT RUSH LIMBAUGH????
I'm sorry, we didn't know you were so sensitive about hate-pundits' plights. Oooh, there, there, coochy coo don't worry it'll be all better...
What makes you think I am a fan of Rush? I am not. But that does not mean I think just bashing and saying hateful things about someone because you don't agree with him is a good thing to do. You rads seem to think that is the only way to discuss things at times. Look up and down the thread and count the reasoned arguments versus the bashing arguments.
You calling him a hate-pundit is what I am talking about. If you were talking about Savage on the Savage Nation I would agree. He thinks Rush Limbaugh and Shawn Hannity are liberals. You should hear what he calls liberals. He is a hate-pundit.
I have listened to Rush and a lot of other conservative talk show hosts. Rush and others that remain successful do not spout hate. People saying that have not listened to any of them for any length of time. They for the most part talk about how they think about various topics. The left seems to thing that that is hate speech. Jerry Springer did the same when he was on where I live. I miss him. While I disagreed whit much of what he said I do not classify espousing liberal ideas with hate. Most people on this thread seem to think anyone promoting conservative ideas is doing hate speech.
"Rush and others that remain successful do not spout hate."
ROFLMAO, no Rush and the others like him stay successful because people like you listen to him and so desperately WANT what he says to be true. Otherwise you're supporting the overthrow of American values and freedoms. THATS the truth.
This is so interesting. This is a Huge story. The Mass media has been duped again by a phony and just like the Dan Blathergate forged documents that was called "NEWS" and all the left can do is say Rush this Rush that. What's up does the Left have Rush on the Brain or what?
"The Mass media has been duped again by a phony and just like the Dan Blathergate forged documents that was called "NEWS""
ROFLMAO, Missed the audio tape I take?
great
GRIFFIN: I think Rush Limbaugh should go over, you know, put your money where your mouth is.
RUSH: Hmm. Hmm. Now, isn't this interesting? "Rush Limbaugh should put his money where his mouth is and, you know, go over." All right. As you people who listen to this program regularly know, about a year ago, in February, I went to Afghanistan and did not just one tour. I went to four or five different bases, spoke to all kinds of troops, and I also did other things as well, had chock-full days.
So taking pain bills for skeletal problems causes inner ear problems. Where did you get your MD license?
Just more bashing.
Get facts before spewing.

Your ignorance is appalling. "conglomeratization of radio" where did you get this nutty idea. We live in a free society where people have businesses to make money. Broadcasters are all doing what they think will bring in more advertising dollars. The higher the ratings the higher the amount they can charge for advertisements. Ratings rule. The only exception are those who are subsidized somehow. PBS for example.
No competition?? You seem to forget the debacle that the liberals started. Air America was supposed to have a lot of liberal talk show hosts that were going to wipe out the conservative talk show hosts. Jerry Springer was one of these. Air America received startup money and was supposed to bring in lots of money like the conservatives do. They pushed their people on the air. The ratings were low and steadily fell. Jerry Springer was one of a few who had at least mediocre ratings. I haven't heard anything about Air America for a while.
Yes..the message..
The message is that he called all those in combat who disagree with what they see "phony soldiers"..
THAT is a typical comment from a coward who has never served in combat..
The problem is that his comments arouse other ill-informed
supporters to believe what he says and THAT is dangerous..
He knows it too..He doesn't care..It gets ratings, right?
michael Rhodente make a good point..
"Dahhhhhhh"!
"I know how to use my computer, and I know how to tell him he's wrong..I'll hit the negative button, even though he confused me with facts that I can't argue with"...Dahhhh!
Can you say "useless"???
well Coffee, maybe you should consider your own computer skills, and maybe brush up on your grammar while you're at it.
and isn't it "Doh!" ?
Thank you for replying..
actually Homer Simpson says "doh"..but the oldest, most commonly used term has been "dahhh"..At least in the east coast.
I was just hoping for an explanation as to why you disagreed that soldiers have a right to expressing their firist hand opinion,unless it is on the scenes in the form of a mutiny
which of course is not right..
But Mai Lai, Auschwitz, Abu Ghrab, Pol Pot, numerous other military atrocities certainly make for obvious circumstances where silent obedience is just wrong...
I thought it was "duh"
Dah is the Old World original.
Dah has been used as an American term..
But it does also mean yes in at least
5 European languages..
Either way, we agree that "doh" is the newest and comes from Simpson.. When the Simpsons originally came out in 1986 as
a pre-commercial interlude for the Tracy Ullman show they
presented the characters without sound, but with little voice bubbles and "doh" was spelled "d-o-h".
Actually he would have loved to serve his country if it wasn't for that damn cyst at the base of his spine. :)
He got deferment because of that. But then again let's not be to rough on Rush, Dick Cheney managed to get FIVE deferments to stay away from war. By the way during Reagan's presidency Rush did not even vote hahahahhahahahahhahah.....and while he was bashing Clinton on the air for about what 3 or 4 hours a day he was on drugs, those blue lil pills. Different people different highs... Clinton with Monica, Rush and the pills (heroin), Rev.Haggard and the male prostitute, Senator Craig and his Business card ...I'd take Monica any time..:)
Well said..
typcical neocon- responds with lies.
Rush DID NOT get his pills from presciptions. He was sending his maid out to buy them illegally.
Can neocons do ANYTHING except lie??
Was his maid illegal too?
"What abuse of pain pills. Every pill he took was prescribed by doctors in a single office. They all had access to his medical records. Libs ignore this LITTLE fact in their rants."
So his cleaning lady/maid was a doctor?
Altho what the RIGHT appears to continually ignore is Fat-So seemed to preach about prosecuting ANY (that means no exclusions in case you righties were wondering) drug user tothe fullest extent of the law. NO MATTER what the cause or reason (i.e. like having back pain for instance) they should be incarcerated and made to serve mandatory and lengthy sentences. Funny he doesnt say that anymore.
:~)
Endoscopy----"I have problems with some of the things Rush says but attacking the messenger is a trick to obscure the message. Discuss the message"
You are absolutely correct in this. Let's stick to the thread. Never mind that the messenger sucks. That's not the point. The point is this. The message sucks too.
Lol...the only reason he's listened to is because people tune in just to hate him.
Rush: "this is is a great illustration of the liberals and the Democrat Party playbook for '08, which is underway now. The morning update on Wednesday dealt with a soldier, a fake, phony soldier by the name of Jesse MacBeth who never served in Iraq; he was never an Army Ranger. He was drummed out of the military in 44 days. He had his day in court; he never got the Purple Heart as he claimed, and he described all these war atrocities. He became a hero to the anti-war left. They love phony soldiers, and they prop 'em up. When it is demonstrated that they have been lying about things, then they just forget about it. There's no retraction; there's no apology; there's no, "Uh-oh, sorry." After doing that morning update on Wednesday, I got a phone call yesterday from somebody, we were talking about the troops, and this gentleman said something which you'll hear here in just a second, prompting me to reply "yeah, the phony soldiers."
This is a story of who the left props up as heroes. They have their celebrities and one of them was Army Ranger Jesse MacBeth. Now, he was a "corporal." I say in quotes. Twenty-three years old. What made Jesse MacBeth a hero to the anti-war crowd wasn't his Purple Heart; it wasn't his being affiliated with post-traumatic stress disorder from tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. No. What made Jesse MacBeth, Army Ranger, a hero to the left was his courage, in their view, off the battlefield, without regard to consequences. He told the world the abuses he had witnessed in Iraq, American soldiers killing unarmed civilians, hundreds of men, women, even children. In one gruesome account, translated into Arabic and spread widely across the Internet, Army Ranger Jesse MacBeth describes the horrors this way: "We would burn their bodies. We would hang their bodies from the rafters in the mosque."
Now, recently, Jesse MacBeth, poster boy for the anti-war left, had his day in court. And you know what? He was sentenced to five months in jail and three years probation for falsifying a Department of Veterans Affairs claim and his Army discharge record. He was in the Army. Jesse MacBeth was in the Army, folks, briefly. Forty-four days before he washed out of boot camp. Jesse MacBeth isn't an Army Ranger, never was. He isn't a corporal, never was. He never won the Purple Heart, and he was never in combat to witness the horrors he claimed to have seen. You probably haven't even heard about this. And, if you have, you haven't heard much about it. This doesn't fit the narrative and the template in the Drive-By Media and the Democrat Party as to who is a genuine war hero. Don't look for any retractions, by the way. Not from the anti-war left, the anti-military Drive-By Media, or the Arabic websites that spread Jesse MacBeth's lies...
RUSH: That was the transcript from yesterday's program, talking about one phony soldier. The truth for the left is fiction that serves their purpose, which is exactly the way the website, Media Matters, generated this story, fiction, out of context, did so knowingly. What is amazing is that after all of the examples of how this organization is simply a Democrat Party Hillary Clinton front group; how they constantly do this; how they take things out of context and embarrass themselves and get things wrong; they still have credible so-called journalists and others, members of Congress, Democrat Party, who treat what they say as gospel. Not one member of the media, not one congressman, nobody has called our office to ask, "Did you really say this? And what did you mean by it?" The reason this does not work, ladies and gentlemen, is that I have a 19-and-a-half-year record on this program of being one of the most devoted supporters of US military personnel in uniform...
you are right
Well, here is Dick Cheney's analysis on invading Iraq/ Baghdad back in 1994.
Now we know all this was a farce for oil. 600,000 dead and counting. Was my child worth the sacrifice for these profit mongers?
http://silverback.gnn.tv/blogs/24573/YouTube_ce...
Hope this Bush administration rots in hell, and their children suffer just like we have!
sorry... from now on I will sink ANY MEDIA MATTERS story... after the BOR hatchet job - that was the final straw.
MEDIA MATTERS HAS ZERO CREDIBILITY.
It is clear liberlas here are reading into his comments something he NEVER ACTUALLY SAID.
ITs QUITE CLEAR to anyone (not involved with Move On. Org) he was talking about ONE SOLDIER....who WAS PHONEY and has been proven as such.
Nice try libs, just more evidence of how desperate you losers are becoming.
I listened to him yesterday, too. And he was only talking about ONE soldier, Jesse MacBeth, who WAS indeed a phony. I have the transcript:
http://donoevil.propeller.com/story/2007/09/28/...
FTA: They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and talk to the media." Limbaugh interjected, "The phony soldiers."
That sounds like more than 1 to me.
