Yea, it is, but they are democrats, and politicians to boot, so i don't expect a lot from them to begin with....

You know, I don't like this trend of legislators weighing in on Protected Speech. Even if is is from a Junkie, it's too close for comfort.

Of course, that neglects the whole, "Airwaves are a regulated resource" point, but I'm still bothered by it.

I think it is funny how Democrats keep attacking a man who is not running for any office. Democrats attacking Rush Limbaugh only strokes Limbaugh's ego. He gets off on that.




farglebargle -> RE: Rush limbaugh calls troops against war,phony soldiers (9/28/2007 5:24:07 PM)

No, he gets off on having people pee on him, and munching scat. ( Well, as much as he's able until the Viagra kicks in... ) (But back in the day of Reagan/Bush, he needed to just do whatever he could to get hard... )

Bill Hicks did a documentary about it...

Yea, and it keeps his name in the papers. Can't build on your audience base, unless you get your name out there.

 Then he claims to have only been talking about one, particular guy,who was caught impersonating a soldier.So the "phony soldiers" comment, was supposedly about only one soldier.Then he adds to the list,lol,decorated Vietnam vet Jack Mertha.Witch kinda blows a hole in the lame story,that he was just talking about only one (singular)soldier.

Good point. Don't recall anyone's having that reaction to the MoveOn ad, though.

I`d much rather have your hero, pulled from Armed Services Radio.

We need someone who supports our GIs.

He`s an opinion shaper and illegal war monger/draft dodger.
Why shouldn`t he be called to task?

Here's the catch 22.  Regardless of how one feels about the war, criticising the troops for it is detrimental.  They risk their lives for us and have no control over it...right?  If I read the article correctly he's criticising troops for criticising the war.....isn't this a circular loop?

Very good point.Catch 22 ,describes what our GIs are in,accurately.




sundownhawk -> RE: Rush limbaugh calls troops against war,phony soldiers (9/29/2007 12:13:38 AM)

1. Rush is an idiot for saying that and sometimes just an idiot.
2. Some of those same Dems yelling about Rush were the same ones that voted no to backing Gen. Petraeus when moveon.org besmirched him....wierd huh?




farglebargle -> RE: Rush limbaugh calls troops against war,phony soldiers (9/29/2007 1:24:07 AM)

If Petraeus was defamed so badly, how come he isn't suing Moveon?

Because TRUTH is an absolute defense.

Owner:
I am more than a little confused here.
If a person who is in the military is against the war then they are a phony soldier and not a real soldier. 
If you are not a real soldier then it would follow that you can come home and not play any more.  So it would seem that an unnamed phone caller who claims to be a real soldier and a convicted felon radio propagandist can give a blanket discharge to all in the military who think this whole cluster fuck is just an excuse for bush&co. to raid the U.S. treasury.
So this pretty much leaves "blackwater" to do the fighting...way kewel
Are there any plumbers here who can tell everyone what blackwater (as opposed to graywater) is?

I think it is funny how you think that there is an authorized list of targets suitable for one party to attack.
I find it even funnier that a person of your obvious intellect actually believes that there is a difference between the demopubs and the republicrats.
They all shit in the same bucket and they all feed at the same trough.
If they were all convicted of treason and put before a firing squad I would buy coffee and donuts for anyone who wanted to watch.

That's a good point, the anti-war protesters have said some much more hurtful things about our troops than Rush has. Even go back to Vietnam where anti-war protesters spit on our troops as they came home and called them baby-killers because of the anti-war propaganda fueled by the communists.

You want to put a leftist on Armed Services Radio? Why? So he can insult Patraeus like Moveon.org did?




InnocentYoungSub -> RE: Rush limbaugh calls troops against war,phony soldiers (9/29/2007 12:42:39 PM)

^Prove it. No one I know who is against the war has said anything to insult the troops.

Prove what? During Vietnam? Look it up. The hippies were all high on pot as they protest the war and root on communism against the evil capitalists. That's common knowledge.

That anger isn't as intense today. But there are some on the extreme left that are. A reporter recently went inside a "peace" rally of anti-war protesters in D.C. and the reporter said that he had never recieved so many threats of being killed in his life.

Moveon.org has basically called Patraeus a traitor.




InnocentYoungSub -> RE: Rush limbaugh calls troops against war,phony soldiers (9/29/2007 12:53:58 PM)

Well who cares what they say about Patraeus? He's brass.

And I was talking about current times, not Vietnam. You're talking about a very, very fringe element within the anti-war movement today that are like that. They are so insignificant IMO that it doesn't really mean anything about the anti-war movement as a whole.
