Rush Is Right...Again

Rush Limbaugh is again suffering attacks from the leftists who are trying to twist his words. The most recent brouhaha is over his use of the term "phony soldiers" to describe the only people in the military that the Democrats and moonbats are interested in hearing from: those who disparage and slander our armed forces and our nation.

Democrats Criticize Rush Limbaugh's 'Phony Soldiers' Remark

Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards criticized Rush Limbaugh on Friday for referring to some members of the military as "phony soldiers."

Edwards and the campaign of fellow Democrat Chris Dodd took issue with the radio talk show host's characterization of Iraq war veterans who have spoken out against the war. Limbaugh was responding to a caller who argued that anti-war groups "never talk to real soldiers."

"They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and talk to the media," the caller said.

"The phony soldiers," Limbaugh responded.

Campaigning in New Hampshire, Edwards called on Republicans to denounce Limbaugh in the same way they came down on Democrats after the liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org ran an advertisement criticizing Gen. David Petraeus, the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq.

"All these Republicans went running to the mic and the TV cameras when MoveOn ran their ad about General Petraeus. Now let's see if they really mean it," Edwards said. "Let's see if they'll speak out against Rush Limbaugh. Let's see if they'll challenge him about men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States."

Well hear this Senator Edwards and moonbats alike: Rush wasn't speaking of soldiers like General Petraeus or the other brave men and women who risk their lives everyday all over the world to protect us. Rush was speaking of those phony soldiers - some of whom never wore a uniform - that we know all to well. Those like Scott Thomas Beauchamp, Jimmy Massey, Jesse MacBeth, Micah Wright, Josh Lansdale, Amorita Randall, and oh yes, John Kerry.

These are the people that Democrats and moonbats consider true patriots: people who lie, who cheat, who smear, and demean their nation and its soldiers. It is the Democrats and moonbats who have no idea what our soldiers are fighting for. Phony indeed.
