luckydog1 -> phony soldiers.... (10/20/2007 9:48:57 AM)
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A letter from Democratic senators blasting conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh for using the phrase "phony soldiers" on his program was sold Friday on eBay for a record $2.1 million. On his show Friday, Limbaugh said proceeds from the sale, and a matching $2.1 million from his own pocket, would go to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation, which provides scholarships to children of Marines or federal law enforcement personnel who were killed while serving their country.

So the asshole drug addict calls "our brave troops" fakes when they don't agree with him and you think it is cool eh? I guess your support for troops is about as deep as the plastic on your made in china bumper sticker.

Limbaugh is pathetic.Like this is going to make things even.He doesn`t get it. We don`t need money,we need responsible broadcasters. Here is a petition to have Limbaugh removed from Armed Forces Radio. http://www.petitiononline.com/mmfa2/petition.html

I actually think it was a GREAT recovery from Limbaugh's real fuck-up. Calling all the REPUBLICANS who disagree with Bush's Policy in Iraq "CRAZY", and phony republicans. So, REPUBLICANS, how does it feel to be thrown out of your party for having beliefs Politically Unacceptable to Rush Limbaugh?

obis -> RE: phony soldiers.... (10/20/2007 4:11:34 PM)
Well, when it was not only acceptable but encouraged to mock veterans who won the purple heart in war, it became obvious to anyone who wasn't a diehard Republican that party support for members of the military only extends to soldiers/airmen/sailors/marines who agree with whatever the policy of the day is. Anyone who disagrees with Limbaugh is obviously not a real soldier.

Probably not as bad as it feels to be one of the Democrats who gave time, money, and passion in the '06 elections, believing the Dems would get us out of Iraq, only to find out they were totally used and lied to little bitches.... (But they'll do it for sure, as soon as they win more seats in '08[8\|])

I think it has as much relevance as that nappy headed little ho of an Imus and all he gives to boys town.......... Dickweeds just are.

farglebargle -> RE: phony soldiers.... (10/20/2007 4:52:05 PM)
Well, I'd suggest that ANYONE putting ANY effort into the Electoral Process is delusional in the first place. Pro Wrasslin is less scripted than the results of a Presidential election. The trick is to present a charade giving the APPEARANCE that change is possible, that way there won't be a Revolution. As long as enough people BELIEVE that the Ballot Box works, they won't get out the Ammo Box. But it's nice to see the RNC treating its base they way the Conservatives got trashed by the Neocon Party Whores, in any event. And again, respect where due. Rush did great at covering up his dismissal of 70% of the Republican Party as "Crazy".

I am not Limbough fan but attack against him was unfair and based on lie. He reffered in his program to really "phony soldiers" (people who lied having been in combat in Iraq). As I understand, democrats are trying to silence conservative talk radio as it can significantly affect the outcome of 2008 elections. Dirty politics.

Because it appears you only read the short, out-of-context one. The "FAIRNESS DOCTRINE" essentially boils down to the LAST LINE of my .sig. What's your problem with that, exactly?

mnottertail -> RE: phony soldiers.... (10/20/2007 5:06:09 PM)
You don't understand much--- A comment was made by trent lott, a pinko fag commie dyed in the wool ?democrat? that we have to do something about talk radio. drip, drip, drip.... Rush Limbaugh is a total and incorrigible and wholly contemptable fuckwad, and fairness is not at issue with slime like him, he gets fair like he gives it. He is only reaping what he is sowing. God save the neo-conservative war heros who send others sons to die for their principles, cause they ain't gonna, they are too busy thinking up magnificent shit........that's just the way it aught to be.

VeryMercurial -> RE: phony soldiers.... (10/20/2007 6:56:20 PM)
Limbaugh again put his big foot in his mouth. Maybe he was doped up on his pain medication. He is in no position to determine who the real soldiers are, and who is not a real soldier. If you are willing to fight for your country, you should be also allowed to state how you feel about being in the war. Limbaugh was attempting to discredit soldiers that do not agree with the Iraq War.

CALLER 1: Well, I am a Republican, and I've listened to you for a long time, and you're right on a lot of things, but I do believe that we should pull out of Iraq. I don't think it's winnable. And I'm not a Democrat, but I just -- sometimes you've got to cut the losses. LIMBAUGH: Well, you -- you -- CALLER 1: I mean, sometimes you really gotta know when you're wrong. LIMBAUGH: Well, yeah, you do. I'm not wrong on this. The worst thing that can happen is losing this, flying out of there, waving the white flag. Do you have -- CALLER 1: Oh, I'm not saying that. I'm not saying anything like that, but, you know -- LIMBAUGH: Well, of course you are. CALLER 1: No, I'm not. LIMBAUGH: Bill, the truth is -- the truth is the truth, Mike. CALLER 1: We did what we were supposed to do, OK. We got rid of Saddam Hussein. We got rid of a lot of the terrorists. Let them run their country -- LIMBAUGH: Oh, good lord! Good lord. [...] CALLER 1: How long is it gonna -- how long do you think we're going to have to be there for them to take care of that? LIMBAUGH: Mike -- CALLER 1: How long -- you know -- what is it? LIMBAUGH: Mike -- CALLER 1: What is it? LIMBAUGH: Mike, you can't possibly be a Republican. CALLER 1: I am. LIMBAUGH: You are -- you are -- CALLER 1: I am definitely a Republican. LIMBAUGH: You can't be a Republican. You are -- CALLER 1: Oh, I am definitely a Republican. LIMBAUGH: You are tarnishing the reputation, 'cause you sound just like a Democrat. CALLER 1: No, but -- LIMBAUGH: The answer to your question -- CALLER 1: -- seriously, how long do we have to stay there -- LIMBAUGH: As long as it takes! CALLER 1: -- to win it? How long? LIMBAUGH: As long as it takes! It is very serious. CALLER 1: And that is what? LIMBAUGH: This is the United States of America at war with Islamofascists. We stay as long -- just like your job. You do everything you have to do, whatever it takes to get it done, if you take it seriously. CALLER 1: So then you say we need to stay there forever -- LIMBAUGH: I -- it won't -- CALLER 1: -- because that's what it'll take. LIMBAUGH: No, Bill, or Mike -- I'm sorry. I'm confusing you with the guy from Texas. CALLER 1: See, I -- I've used to be military, OK? And I am a Republican. LIMBAUGH: Yeah. Yeah. CALLER 1: And I do live [inaudible] but -- LIMBAUGH: Right. Right. Right, I know. CALLER 1: -- you know, really -- I want you to be saying how long it's gonna take. LIMBAUGH: And I, by the way, used to walk on the moon! Limbaugh clearly wasn't JUST denigrating the caller's service record, but his assertion that he is a Republican, based on his rejection of the clearly failed Bush Policies.

It would simply be easier to get "Mike from wherever" to come forward, and show us his service record, and party registration.....

Even if "Mike from Chicago",came forward and proved everything,it still would make one bit of difference to you guys. Rush is never wrong,ever.Right? Can any of you neo-cons name one instance,where Rush admitted he was wrong,or apologized for something.Lol,name one. Rush selling that letter, is as tasteless as Rudy asking for check donations, made out to $9.11. He just doesn`t get it. We`ve got the tape(all of it),and heard Mike,who before Rush slammed him,came off as genuine and sincere.Only for the reason that he didn`t "ditto"(agree) with Rush,was he then called fake.

obis -> RE: phony soldiers.... (10/21/2007 2:53:22 AM)
I think the really bizarre thing about the whole situation is that he claims anyone in favor of withdrawal can't be a Republican. Last time I checked, close to half of Republicans were in favor of withdrawal in a 6-12 month time period. Those in favor of staying "as long as it takes" are going to be a clear minority of the party pretty soon.

quote: ORIGINAL: luckydog1 It would simply be easier to get "Mike from wherever" to come forward, and show us his service record, and party registration..... Why? Because YOU BELIEVE than anyone in opposition to Bush CANNOT be either a Republican OR a Solider, too? You actually subscribe to that? I gave up when the Conservatives got taken over by the Neocon Party Whores. OPEN QUESTION: Do the rest of the Republicans here also subscribe to the Limbaugh/Luckdog1 hypothesis, that no REAL RNC member or REAL SOLDIER can possibly disagree with Bush on Iraq? And that you'd have to be either LYING ABOUT BEING A RNC MEMBER ( or soldier ) OR CRAZY? Or is it a putsch against the Majority of the RNC, by a dangerous, ideologically questionable, but vocal and public minority?

Think about what you are saying here on any number of levels. What would it mean if he came forward and it was all true? What does it mean that you think Rush can "tell" this about someone? Considering how many former generals including Colin Powell who are stepping forward and criticising this war and the president and that the Democrats have the highest ranking combat vets running for office and that the Republican haven't had a high level combat vet run for President in over 50 years... What an absolutely amazing view into your psyche...

Here is a petition to have Limbaugh removed from Armed Forces Radio. http://www.petitiononline.com/mmfa2/petition.html According to poll after poll of service men and women, The Rush Limbaugh Show is one of the most popular programs on the network. Why would you want to deprive them of one of thier favorite and most listen to shows? Military men and women and their familys have flocked in huge numbers to Limbaughs defense does that tell you anything?

He is only reaping what he is sowing. Nobody is being forced to listen to him. radios have tunning dials and off switches do they not? And speaking to reaping what he is sowing, the whole thing has lead to a ratings boost which translates into bigger advertizing dollars in his pocket, not to mention great PR for him and a groundswell of support from service members, retirees and military families.
