Liberal Democrats Still Attacking Rush Limbaugh

Liberal Democrats fear Rush Limbaugh so much that they spend a lot of time denouncing him. The latest is over remarks where he referred to the left’s propensity for embracing “phony soldiers” like Jesse MacBeth who recently pleaded guilty of the charge of making false statements to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (i.e. LYING about his service!). But on the heals of MoveOn.org giving the liberal cause to cut and run from the War against terror as bigger black eye by trashing General Patreaus, they needed a distraction from their own ties to the group and the tired old hackery and talking points MoveOn.org spouts.

The liberals are now trying to portray Limbaugh’s remarks as pertaining to any soldier that returns to criticize Bush and the war and they are denouncing him for this false perception:

Democrats on Monday called on the chief executive of Clear Channel Communications to denounce remarks by radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, whom they say made a “hateful” and “unpatriotic” attack on U.S. troops opposed to the war in Iraq.At issue is a remark from Limbaugh that characterized such troops as “phony soldiers.” Democrats have seized on the issue, allowing them to hit back at Republicans who similarly latched onto a MoveOn.org ad that referred to Gen. David Petraeus as “General Betray Us.”

“Thousands of active troops and veterans were subjected to Mr. Limbaugh’s unpatriotic and indefensible comments on your broadcast,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said in his letter to Clear Channel Chief Executive Mark Mays. “We trust you will agree that not a single one of our sons, daughters, neighbors and friends serving overseas is a ‘phony soldier.’ We call on you to publicly repudiate these comments that call into question their service and sacrifice and to ask Mr. Limbaugh to apologize for his comments.”

This from Harry “The war is lost” Reid who has done nothing but actually debase our troops and their mission and other liberals in the Congress that have done the same?

It’s laughable. But it is predictable from a party that has members who have taken to the floor and likened our soldiers to NAZIs and Pol Pot and accuse them of running gulags while lagging in support polls of veterans and active duty soldiers behind candidates that support their mission and freedom for all mankind from oppressive tyranny.

It’s just another “facts be damned” tirade by liberals who know they are in trouble with the soldiers and are trying their hardest to make those that actually support the troops who are continually signing up in a time of war and opting to go back to a war zone look like the bad guys. Like John Kerry (who knows a thing or two about using “phony soldiers” to promote his agenda) once said, the left thinks that those who are serving this country in our military are stupid and “stuck in Iraq.” And that is the feeling of many on the left.

It’s backfiring and the troops continue to support more conservative candidates over them.

So, once again, I remind you that if you REALLY support the troops you would support the candidates they prefer. That means voting Republican.

But I won’t hold my breath that the liberals will actually do that and show their self-professed “support” as anything other than a fantasy.

    How sad a state this country has become when senators are more worried about a radio personality than the running of this country. I was listening that day and knew exactly what Rush was talking about. This man so loves the men and women in the military its touchable when he talks about them. Reid needs to go.

    These liberals are embarrassments to this country and I am sad to have taken bullets to defend them. The fact that they would even try to convince people that Limbaugh is somehow anti-troop is laughable and will only be bought by the 20 or so percent of moonbats in this country.

    They are trying to get him off Armed Services Radio and from what I have been told the response to keep Limbaugh has been an avalanche while the calls for him to go are far and few between.

    You liberals should be ashamed of yourselves. Maybe you and the “phony soldiers” you constantly find should all leave this country.
