Rush Limbaugh and 'Phony Soldiers'

During his September 26th nationally syndicated radio broadcast, Rush Limbaugh stated that service members that oppose the current policy in Iraq and dared question the war effort were, in his view, "phony soldiers'. What the hell? To repeat...the men and women who have served in the travesty that is known as the Iraq War and who dare question the policy are simply "phony soldiers" (generals included).

This coming from the man who squeezed out of serving when his time came in Vietnam due to a pilonidal cyst or a knee injury (take your pick). This from the man who just the other day was 'outraged' over the MoveOn controversy.

This daily schtick brought to you by Rush, Hannity and the rest is a little tired. These millionaire radio and television hosts always seem to be aghast at anything that the Democrats do or say. The Republicans in Congress are no better when it comes to manufacturing outrage.
