Chris – the facts are there.

—————————————-

On September 26, 2007 Limbaugh blasted soldiers who want American forces out of Iraq as “phony soldiers“. Limbaugh, who dropped out of college after less than three semesters due to failing grades, avoided serving his country by being 4-F’ed for a pilonidal cyst – otherwise known as an often-hairy boil just above or inside the butt crack.

A man who never served his country, and who has no children in the war zone, or children whose futures he has to worry about, daring to call any soldier “phony” is a hypocrite of the worst kind.
————————————–

Not every soldier serves in the warzone, Chris, yet they all serve, or have served, their country, whereas Limbaugh has not.

I stand by my article, and my credibility.

I know this is way after the fact, but you might want to check your facts, and judge things on the basis or reality rather than perception. Limbaugh was referring specifically to soldiers who had not actually participated in the way and then went on to speak about all the things they ‘witnessed’ and why the soldiers should get out. both condensed and unedited transcripts are available for anyone who cares to check. I’m not Mr. Limbaugh’s greatest fan. but if we’re going to attack the guy, let’s do so in a way that doesn’t damage our own credibility.

I couldn’t agree with you more . . . Rush Limbaugh is indeed a fraud in every sense of the word. . . . a political charlatan, a liar, and a coward. his questionable popularity is based solely on being, (by design ?), an obnoxious, outspoken, “squeaky wheel”. . . . . . using pathetic tactics to draw attention that he would otherwise never receive . Obviously an effort to compensate for his inate mental, psychological and physical inadequacies. What’s up with those big cigars ?

While I, (happily), do not know him personally, I do know others who do, and the consensus is that he is a mean spirited, self-agrandizing, man with few, if any, socially redeeming qualities at all. He is living proof that with the right backers and enough money, you really can dress up a piece of s**t and take it out in public! However, the fact remains, underneath it all it’s still a piece of s**t ! I for one take great pleasure in the notion that, when the mikes and cameras are off, in the dark hours of night, Rush Limbaugh, (even with his diminished capacity for truth), knows better than anyone that below that well groomed facade of inordinate arrogance, he is still, and, always will be, the college dropout, with his “pants hung too low and buttons missing on his stained shirt” ! And, if we’re lucky, with the pilonidal cyst as well !

jane–shocked!! how do you find all this info?? i am a local-yokel beside you! where do you find all this hidden background on how the media works??? i am someone who only turns on the news if i have to–read the papers and cry at what i see—and yet–don’ t know where to turn for the truth! but, i am hungry for it–want to help–so where do you get it??
reading this back–makes me sound pouty-am not-just sick of the crap i’m being fed-want a better diet—-soooo here i am!

J., there are so many places, even on the web, to get solid news, much of which you might miss if you had to rely only on networks and major publications. The Huffington Post is good, so is truthout.org. And there are so many bloggers on the internet now, including journalists, researchers, and writers with diverse backgrounds and interests. I worked for radio stations and magazines and in advertising for over thirteen years. I’ve been writing for over twenty years, so all those experiences contribute to my stories. Others come from different perspectives, and so many of them are eye-opening. If you read from enough sources, it naturally follows that you’ll soon separate the bad from the good, and the reliable from the not so much. – JD

Looks as if he is getting just what he has been giving all these years. And listen to him whine, like a 3 year little girl! Though, I really do think he was talking about the guys who were pretending to be in the service, this is exactly what he does on every show, take people out of context and twists their words and meaning. Shame on him!!! He has such a gift that coulb be used for good, to build people up rather than tear people down and devide the nation.
