His own party won't back his bad-mouthing the U.S. Troops.

Rush Hudson Limbaugh III is an American conservative radio talk show host and political commentator. He recently referred to our surviving troops as "phony soldiers" because they happened to oppose the war in Iraq. Do you support his statements?

    Well, first of all, Rush never bad mouthed our troops. get you facts right. He was talking about Jesse MacBeth who claimes he was an Army Ranger in Iraq and witnessed our troops killing and hanging women and children. This idiot Jesse MacBeth is a "PHONEY SOLDIER" MacBeth only spent 44 days in boot camp. He couldn't handle it so the military booted him out. MacBeth never has been in Iraq. And these stupid ass Democrats consider this ASSHOLE as a hero for speaking out about what is going on in Iraq. MacBeth never was in Iraq and never got a purple heart.

    Second, why isn't the democrats getting on Moveon.com case for smearing a 4 star generial by calling him a Liar and saying he has betrayed us? And why aren't the getting on John Kerry for telling everyone that the troops are going into houses in the dead of night and terrorizing women and children. And there is Harry Ried who is calling Rush unpatriotic. He needs to look at himself as being unpatriotic. In January as the surge was just begining he announced that the war is lost the surge is not working. And the surge hasn't even got started yet. Ried already calling for a defeat in Iraq. 9 months later it is proven that the surge is working and General Putraus has given his report about how the surge is working. There is also...

There is also another Murtha telling everyone that our troops are just like the Nazis killing and torturing innocent civilians which is a lie.

    And who ever posted this question don't know what was said, because he listens to left wing media and believes every word these far left extremests. I listen to Rush Limbaugh everyday and I know what he was talking about. He was talking about Jesse MacBeth and people who claims that they were soldiers in Iraq and lie about the troops killing innocent people and being caliming to be eyewitnesses of all this and never even set foot in Iraq or being in the military. Stop going to Moveon.com and get your facts straight you damn left wing moron.

    He doesn't get paid for pushing the envelop. He gets paid for having people listen.

    As long as we are on the point of "pushing the envelop" just how would you quantify that? (kind of asking for examples)
  • True~Male DuncanO... 2011/02/27 20:14:36

    They way he perpetuates certain people as being evil ,mischievous and destructive forces when they don't fit his unique situation of observation.

    This is what you think of as an example?
    This is like saying Fox lies and when asked to give an example the answer is something like "all the time" or "just listen to them". If pressed for an example the claimant clams up!

    I'm not a Rush fan...far from it. I don't think necessarily he's unintelligent, but I do think he's mean-spirited and nasty. I know that he never served in the armed forces--got an exemption for a minor owie, so I think his comments about soldiers should be limited. I understand that the guy in question did not serve as he stated, so I have no problem with Rush calling him out on lying (pot to kettle is beside the point), but even if the guy only served a month, it's longer than Rush served.

    Every link they put up against Rush gets shot down by the transcripts. Now you know why he didn't put one up. Gracie has always been straight up imo and only gives it if she gets it.

    Doing this here because the other comments were done here. I still think you are incorrect about Rush but I digress. I was apparently defending Gracie based on my dealings with another Gracie. While both are on my friends list the other one I've know for over 2 years and have never seen insulting behavior from. Apologise for my confusion. Have a great day.

    Speaking of pie holes,... get a freakin' lock on yours. Looks like you chowed down an entire platoon.
    And do some damn research before you take someone's word as Gospel on a damn blog. Notice how Twink-Male didn't supply any supporting link. You bought it, hook-line-sinker.

    Do you have the audio on that? You are misquoting him. He was talking about someone that claimed to have gone to Iraq and did not. Someone who claimed to have witnessed american soldiers doing horrible things but he did not. That is who he was referring to.
