Howard Dean: Limbaugh's Comments "Show Just How Far He'll Go To Defend Bush's Failed Policy"

[kpete]

Dean Condemns Rush Limbaugh's Comments Calling Soldiers Who Want U.S. Withdrawal from Iraq 'Phony' and Calls on Him to Apologize

..............

"Rush Limbaugh should immediately apologize to our brave men and women in uniform for undermining the sacrifices they make every day serving our country. Limbaugh's comments were un-American, have no place in the public discourse, and show just how far he'll go to defend President Bush's failed policy in Iraq. America's troops deserve better, and Limbaugh owes them an apology."


Rush Limbaugh Calls Service Members Who Advocate U.S. Withdrawal from Iraq "Phony Soldiers." In response to a caller, a veteran who supported ending the war, Limbaugh and another caller said soldiers who want to bring our troops home were "phony soldiers." The second caller said, "And what's really funny is they never talk to real soldiers. They pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and spout to the media." Limbaugh responded, "The phony soldiers." (Rushlimbaugh.com, 9/29/07)

1. It's really sad that three (3) of those "phony sholdiers" died

in the line of duty. Thanks Dr. Dean for speaking the obvious that the media doesn't "get".

Get his lumpy ass over there and have a chat with those "real" soldiers.....

2. If Move-On gets censured, why not Rush?

Will the Democrats do the same thing that the Repukes just did to them -- manufacture enough outrage to jam through a congressional condemnation of Rush, the same way the Pukes and quisling Dems just rammed through one against Move-On?

And if not, why not?

(Because Democrats are wimps?)

3. Ugh, it's Friday and the media is worse than usual

Dems had their good days this week, debate was pretty good, Biden got his "bill" through, and by the end of the week it's all trash talk and the Dems "few" achievements completely ignored. The Dems that voted the Kyle/Lieberman non-binding (ha) resolution was a big downer.

Could they at least rake Limbaugh royally over the coals? How hard is that?
