Rush Limbaugh ridiculed soldiers who disagree with American policy in Iraq. Presumably, that includes the two dead soldiers who published (with others) an op-ed in the New York Times.
Criticizing soldiers who die in combat seems particularly despicable especially when it comes from somone who never served.
Will the conservatives who condemned MoveOn.org condemn the phony patriots who do nothing but talk about defending their country and ridicule those who actually fight for it?

I'm certainly no fan of Rush. I do like his brother though. Rush is too one sided for my liking and speaks more opinion than fact.
Do you have a link to his comments?

I'm reading the transcript now and it appears those who are so quick to condemn him over his comments are completely uninformed.
Some snippets:
I want to illustrate something for you today, folks. I've done it before. I want to do it again. I call this the anatomy of a smear, and what 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."
That comment, "phony soldiers" was posted yesterday afternoon on the famous Media Matters website, which is where all leftists go to find out what I say. I have a website, and I have a radio program that reaches far more people than Media Matters could ever hope to, but the critics of this program never listen to this program. They never go to my website. All they do is read Media Matters and they get the lies and the out-of-context reports. They assume it's all true because they want it to be true, and then they start their campaigns. This has led to me being denounced on the floor of the House. Howard Dean has released a statement demanding I apologize; Jim Webb; John Kerry issued a statement, three Congress people went out on the floor of the House last night and said some things, and it's starting to blossom now in the Drive-By Media. So this is the anatomy of a smear, and this is how it starts.
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 about our troops, because the truth for the left is fiction that serves their purpose. They have to lie about such atrocities because they can't find any that fit the template of the way they see the US military. In other words, for the American anti-war left, the greatest inconvenience they face is the truth. <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" width="544">

Jim that transcript in post 10 is not the transcript of what he said the day in question.
This is a fair acessment of what really was said.
During the September 26 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh called service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq "phony soldiers." He made the comment while discussing with a caller a conversation he had with a previous caller, "Mike from Chicago," who said he "used to be military," and "believe[s] that we should pull out of Iraq." Limbaugh told the second caller, whom he identified as "Mike, this one from Olympia, Washington," that "[t]here's a lot" that people who favor U.S. withdrawal "don't understand" and that when asked why the United States should pull out, their only answer is, " 'Well, we just gotta bring the troops home.' ... 'Save the -- keeps the troops safe' or whatever," adding, "[I]t's not possible, intellectually, to follow these people." "Mike" from Olympia replied, "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 interjected, "The phony soldiers." The caller, who had earlier said, "I am a serving American military, in the Army," agreed, replying, "The phony soldiers."

Well, jo jo, looks like you yet again accomplished nothing more than posting complete garbage. Was this "rhetorical convenience" maybe?
Utter nonsense. As usual, you don't know what you're talking about, Dizzy.
Limbaugh edited the transcript to exclude 1 minute and 35 seconds and misrepresented the portion he's using to defend himself. That's not rhetorical convenience, that's wingnut argument, that is, lies.
Summary: In response to Media Matters' documentation of his recent description of service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq as "phony soldiers," Rush Limbaugh claimed that he had not been talking "about the anti-war movement generally," but rather "about one soldier ... Jesse MacBeth." Limbaugh then purported to air the "entire" segment in question. In fact, the clip he aired omitted a full 1 minute and 35 seconds of discussion that occurred between Limbaugh's original "phony soldiers" comment and his subsequent reference to MacBeth.
Limbaugh selectively edited "phony soldiers" clip, claimed it was "the entire transcript" (http://mediamatters.org/items/200709280009?f=h_top)
Summary: Rush Limbaugh insisted that his September 26 remarks characterizing U.S. service members who support withdrawal from Iraq as "phony soldiers" had been taken out of context and that he was referring specifically to "one genuine, convicted, lying, fake soldier," Jesse MacBeth. But Limbaugh did not refer to MacBeth during his September 26 broadcast until 1 minute, 50 seconds after making his "phony soldiers" comment, and at no point on that show prior to making his "phony soldiers" comment did Limbaugh refer to any actual fake soldiers. Additionally, on September 28, Limbaugh misrepresented those comments.
Limbaugh falsely recasts "phony soldiers" smear (http://mediamatters.org/items/200709280010?f=h_top)

You both get your news from "Media Matters", but I have a question for both of you:
Have either of you heard his comments live on the air? Have either of you registered for his site and listened to the actual recording of events?
I didn't think so. It's SO much easier to rely on biased sites for your rhetoric than actually listening live or listening to the actual recordings.
FWIW- The supposed edited portion that they cite is a non-story anyway! Here's the supposed comments that were edited, and I don't see anything stated by Rush to be so bad in these comments:
LIMBAUGH: -- know where you're going these days, the last four years, if you signed up. The odds are you're going there or Afghanistan or somewhere.
LIMBAUGH: Well, you know, that's a moot point for me right now --
LIMBAUGH: -- the weapons of mass destruction. We gotta get beyond that. We're, we're there. What -- who cares if, if -- we all know they were there and, and Mahmoud [Ahmadinejad, Iranian president] even admitted it in one of his speeches here about -- talkin' about Saddam using the poison mustard gas or whatever it is on his own people -- but that, that's moot, right? What, what's more important is all this is taking place now in the midst of the surge working.
And all of these anti-war Democrats are getting even more hell-bent on pulling out of there, which means that success on the part of you and, and your colleagues over there is, is a great threat to them.

Ummm... no. His comments about the "phony soldier" was from the day before, and he was discussing the issue the next day in response to those who made up stories about what he said.
And again, have you listened to his recorded transcript to verify whether or not it is in it's entirety, or are you relying solely on mediamatter's version of events?
Rush is an idiot, I'll admit that. But it's obvious that what he stated is being drawn out of context to make it appear differently than what he actually stated on his program. I've read transcripts from BOTH sites now, and listened to audio - and I don't see him condemning our soldiers other than the one who he himself lied about his duty. His reference to "phony soldiers" was about "MacBeth" and how the far left propped him up to serve their agenda.

Your rants are just that, rants. I can't speak for everyone on the board, but I grow tired of your holier than thou attitude and constant references to scripture, especially in threads that aren't religious. You then turn around and use your little names and speak to others in a condescending manner.
I listened to his transcripts, from multiple sites. I read the transcripts, from multiple sites. I still don't see him condemning active soldiers but rather condemning the "phony soldiers" that the far left might use to further their agendas.

First I don't believe the soldier in question here put his butt on the line for anyone except himself unless I read wrong. Second, people join the service all the time to just help themselves, nothing wrong with that but you have to make restitution sooner or later one way or another. Perhaps this is not in this case but it does happen.
Kerry was a paper soldier so he does'nt count. :D I know that will fire you up a bit.
And of course you would feel disgusted with the repubs ads, thats just a given but lacking to see the connection with this topic. I know, a good time to throw that in there though. :slap:
I have no problem with a soldier who wants to speak out against the war, do it after a tour of duty, do it during duty, don't do it when you are in boot camp, and now want a way out.

Iraq vet plans to return his medals in protest
By Ryan J. Foley - The Associated Press
Posted : Wednesday Sep 26, 2007 22:29:46 EDT
MADISON, Wis. — An Iraq war veteran said Tuesday he is returning his military medals in what anti-war groups are calling a rare and powerful protest.
Josh Gaines, 27, plans to mail the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal and National Defense Service Medal to former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. He said he will do so during a protest scheduled for Wednesday in Madison.
“I’m going to give those back because I truly feel that I did not defend my nation and I did not help with the Global War on Terrorism,” said Gaines, who lives in Madison. “If anything, this conflict has bred more terrorism in the Middle East.”
Gaines served a yearlong tour in Iraq between 2004 and 2005 with the U.S. Army Reserve. He spent his time guarding two military bases and issuing ammunition to soldiers but never fired a weapon, he said.
The experience convinced him the war was a mistake and that a steady withdrawal of troops was the right course of action, Gaines said.
“To be quite honest, I felt like we wasted taxpayers’ money,” he said. “The mission just didn’t seem correct and right for that time.”
Jonathan Dedering, a Students for a Democratic Society activist who is helping organize Wednesday’s protest, said it’s extremely rare for Iraq veterans to return their medals. The tactic was a more common form of protest among Vietnam veterans.
“To many Americans this will be a very big deal,” Dedering said in an e-mail message.

As I said he's giving back two give away medals. Those are medals that everyone gets automatically for going over there. Giving medals back was a kerry thing. It wasn't common among Vietnam Vets. Now if the guy really wanted to do something how about he give back the pay he received while over there. That way the tax money wouldn't be wasted.
By the way, the SDS was and is a communist run organization whose goal is the over throw of the government. They are considered a terrorist organization.

How hard is it to understand what was REALLY said?
CALLER: 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 spout to the media.
RUSH: The phony soldiers.
CALLER: But you did say "soldiers" in plural, though, didn't you?
LIMBAUGH: Yes, because there have been a number of these people, but they were not active duty -- I was not talking about anti-war, active duty troops. I was talking about people who've been exposed as frauds who never served in Iraq but claimed to have seen all these atrocities, [unintelligible]. Claimed to be a Green Beret, he was an Army Ranger, he never was [unintelligible]. Claimed that he had a Purple Heart. He never got one. He was busted out of the Army in 44 days in boot camp. This is the guy I was talking about.
But let's keep the charade going, you know, because "I heard it for myself" and therefore I know what was said. What a bunch of horsecrap. It's much more fun to accuse him of calling active duty soldiers against the war phony soldiers, even if he never said that, cause it supports an agenda.

Rush Limbaugh ridiculed soldiers who disagree with American policy in Iraq. Presumably, that includes the two dead soldiers who published (with others) an op-ed in the New York Times.
Criticizing soldiers who die in combat seems particularly despicable especially when it comes from somone who never served.

Rush Limbaugh, and other of his ilk, are what I call "Potemkin Village Patriots". Their patriotism is nothing more than bluster and jingoistic ranting with nothing to back it up. He and his fellow travelers are little more than propagandists and apologists for the Bush administration, the GOP and the neo-con agenda.

I will EASILY accept evidence, contrary to your claims, as soon as you provide evidence of what I have quoted you claimed - WHICH YOU NEVER DID. If it's so evident, you should be able to conjure up more than your expedia story.

Did you eat paint chips when you were a kid?
Were you dropped on your skull?
Do you sniff glue or spray paint cans?

Because this is the FIRST time you even came close to admitting it includes RESEARCH with the polls. Nobody is going to make major financial decisions at major companies on polls alone.
How does it feel to be pedaling backwards?
Corporations use polls , they use them to help make decisions which have millions hanging in the balance. The whole reason this is an issue with you is that polls are trusted enough by corporations to Pay for and use.Polls are not useless and I have proven that to anyone who is not so blinded by hate they would spew the things you have spewed on me.
I am not your enemy,I am your fellow American. I give you NO hostility and only try to diuscuss politicas in an adult manner. What is it you are doing Jim?

Where is your PROOF, stupid? Why do you hate PROOF, Mrs. Illiterate? Why can't you give specific PROOF of these companies, dumbass?
More incoherent blathering and yet you still refuse to provide a shred of proof to backup your ridiculous claims that "major companies make major financial decisions" based upon the polls you referred.
Now kindly eat a lump of shit on a hot dog roll until such time you care to provide me with PROOF.

You've provided NOTHING and the whole board sees it. You've NOT ONCE provided proof of your claims regarding this issue. Now you have just LIED yet again, and it's here for all to see. You're about as bright as one of those plastic thingies that hold a 6-pack together.

Jim there will be many on this site who will side with you on this. That does not make it true and right.There are more important gauges of truth and right than the people on here who would hate what I posted even if they agreed with it because of the atmosphere here.
I remain civil and I back what I say with facts. Anyone with a fair mind can see it from my posting on here. Many of you do not possess a fair mind. You are a majority here but not in the world. I post here for the Guests mostly and love looking at the guests reading my posts.One sided sites do no person ay good. They harm you people the most you just dont realise it.

I think she probably means "9 out of 10 dentists asked would not recommend using string and a door knob to remove a tooth'. Or something along those lines.

It's all I have left when debating with a lying retard, you have my apologies. When you start telling the truth and supplying proof, I'm sure I'll have something more substantial to add!

Do you not understand that you are undebateable? You ignore facts given to you and continue on like a thoroughbred racehorse with blinders on. Plus the fact that you cannot spell(typo isn't valid anymore, you misspell MUCH TOO OFTEN) or construct a simple paragraph and you at that point deserve to have us make fun of you.
