Limbaugh - The Phony Patriot

Limbaugh is under fire from Democrats for calling anti-war soldiers "phony soldiers". Limbaugh and his supporters are trying to claim he was referencing one phony soldier named Jesse Macbeth when he made the reference while talking with a caller. Given the context of the conversation, however, and everything we know about Rush, I find it hard to believe he meant anything other than to discount those who have sacrificed so much in Iraq and who might have a different opinion on this failed mess of a war.

He had his chance to distance himself from that perspective when the caller said "The phony soldiers. If you talk to a real soldier, they are proud to serve. They want to be over in Iraq. They understand their sacrifice, and they're willing to sacrifice for their country." Rush said nothing. So none of the soldiers who have lost limbs and speak out against this war are real? This is pathetic. Rush is a phony patriot. He wants to defend this war and this monkey of a president, he can lift his fat ass out of that cushy chair, put down the oxycotin, and fight. Like a real patriot. God damn worthless blowhard.
