Limbaugh calls service members who support withdrawal ‘phony soldiers’

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Richard David McClanahan, 29, used his bogus status as a war hero in Amarillo to secure speaking engagements, scholarships and automobile financing, said U.S. Attorney Richard Roper of the Northern District of Texas.

Speaking of Medal of Honor recipients...

Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-HI) and who voted 'nay' against the motion to condemn the MoveOn.org ad...

Back in Italy as the war was drawing to a close, Inouye displayed "extraordinary heroism" on April 21, 1945, near San Terenzo as he led his platoon through "formidable resistance" to capture a key ridge. His Medal of Honor Citation states in part: "With complete disregard for his personal safety, Second Lieutenant Inouye crawled up the treacherous slope to within five yards of the nearest machine gun and hurled two grenades, destroying the emplacement. Before the enemy could retaliate, he stood up and neutralized a second machine gun nest. Although wounded by a sniper's bullet, he continued to engage other hostile positions at close range until an exploding grenade shattered his right arm. Despite the intense pain, he refused evacuation and continued to direct his platoon until enemy resistance was broken and his men were again deployed in defensive positions."

That name is familiar. Is he one of the soldiers they were talking about on that documentary "War"? He is Japanese right?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

He's the one that talks about drug using dirt bags, but he's grinding oxycontin and snorting it, while taking a ton of other opiates.

There it goes again. Where in the world do you get that? He was addicted to oxycontin because of a back problem. It was never reported that he was snorting it while doing other opiates. The smear campaign on Rush is breathtaking. It just shows how much he pisses off the left and how much they fear him.

I don't think fear is really the word. Rush is an odious, insignificant little man who uses a public platform to talk loud but say little - other than be offensive for the sake of it.

Sorry I just don't understand why people are so keen to 'own' people like this as part of 'their side' of things. People like Rush are an embarrassment - he's about as serious a political commentator as Howard Stern.

Yes. He had me all choked up when he talked about striking a wounded German soldier in the head with his rifle, thinking he was reaching in his shirt pocket for a gun, when he was going to show the American, pics of his wife and children. :(

Speaking of heroes....

Cpl. Jason Dunham was leading a Marine patrol near Husaybah, Iraq, investigating an attack on a Marine convoy. His patrol intercepted a number of cars spotted near the scene of the attack. An individual in one of the vehicles attacked Dunham. During the fighting, the individual dropped a live Mills bomb-type hand grenade. Dunham, to save the rest of his men, threw himself on the grenade, attempting to use his helmet to shield himself and others from the explosion.

MoH citation:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as Rifle Squad Leader, 4th Platoon, Company K, Third Battalion, Seventh Marines (Reinforced), Regimental Combat Team 7, First Marine Division (Reinforced), on 14 April 2004. Corporal Dunham's squad was conducting a reconnaissance mission in the town of Karabilah, Iraq, when they heard rocket-propelled grenade and small arms fire erupt approximately two kilometers to the west. Corporal Dunham led his Combined Anti-Armor Team towards the engagement to provide fire support to their Battalion Commander's convoy, which had been ambushed as it was traveling to Camp Husaybah. As Corporal Dunham and his Marines advanced, they quickly began to receive enemy fire. Corporal Dunham ordered his squad to dismount their vehicles and led one of his fire teams on foot several blocks south of the ambushed convoy. Discovering seven Iraqi vehicles in a column attempting to depart, Corporal Dunham and his team stopped the vehicles to search them for weapons. As they approached the vehicles, an insurgent leaped out and attacked Corporal Dunham. Corporal Dunham wrestled the insurgent to the ground and in the ensuing struggle saw the insurgent release a grenade. Corporal Dunham immediately alerted his fellow Marines to the threat. Aware of the imminent danger and without hesitation, Corporal Dunham covered the grenade with his helmet and body, bearing the brunt of the explosion and shielding his Marines from the blast. In an ultimate and selfless act of bravery in which he was mortally wounded, he saved the lives of at least two fellow Marines. By his undaunted courage, intrepid fighting spirit, and unwavering devotion to duty, Corporal Dunham gallantly gave his life for his country, thereby reflecting great credit upon himself and upholding the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.

He should get the Medal Of Honor.

[mRx 16]

He should get the Medal Of Honor.

He did. He was the first marine to recieve the Medal of Honor from this war.

And rightfully so, he is one of the very few people who should be regarded as a "hero"

[Heracles 417]

Doesn't matter if you are a bleeding heart liberal or a bible thumping conservative. The major problems with this country and our two party system is the extreme whackos of both extremes ruin it for everyone else.

FP is a great example of that..

Members Of Congress Denounce Limbaugh's "Phony Soldiers" Smear

On September 27, several members of Congress denounced Rush Limbaugh for, as Media Matters for America documented, calling service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq "phony soldiers" on the September 26 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show. Reps. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) made speeches on the House floor responding to Limbaugh; Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) made his comments on the September 27 edition of MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann; and Reps. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) and Patrick J. Murphy (D-PA) issued statements denouncing Limbaugh's comments.

You tend to adopt morals, emotions from

the next so called friend u meet, no matter

where it is, on a Food Lion, in a CVS, yup even

a car wash ur kind is always on a search for

who you realy are...

As for me I still and always will have my own

mind, my own morals and a heart that don't

care what lawyer in .gov u lean to for ur thoughts,

No matter how screwed up I think ur mind set is

or how screwed up U see mine...................

What country we come from, no matter the type

of government we grew up with it as I'm sure

you should be aware of NEVER matters..........

Ur (fart), my (fart) I think mostly came about

to what we are hit with day to day, U Know???

It's our ability to be human, our ability (if we

want) to be who we realy are, you know?

Leave politics out of this, in paper and time

we can't but thats all...........................

I am me, you are you, thats all we are,

it's us who shapes our now & rest of days

life, not someone elses point of view.

Say what u will

Realy don't care..

Simple truth is Bubba

All we have is each other

.gov, ur rush bash, the liberal

put ur tail between ur legs and

kiss ur ^%$##$ goodbye dont

matter what so ever also........

Many of us still belive in what

this country was founded for.

As hard as that is to do most

of us common americans still

do belive..And no we do not

adopt morals or beliefs from

looks to be where you formed them.

I know,,,I know..........................

It takes to much of ur time to find

out the truth, understand that..
