Ever since the Senate voted against the moveon.org slander, the Democrats have been waiting on their little perches to swoop down back at the Republicans. MediaMatters, the King of slander, tried aiming their guns at O'Reilly recently which evidently failed because they have moved onto Limbaugh. During a conversation with a soldier on his radio show, Limbaugh stated that real soldiers love fighting for their country and that those that have recently joined want to be fighting in Iraq since they obviously know that's where they would be going.
Who are the phony soldiers? Well, read the clip.
RUSH ARCHIVE: It's not possible intellectually to follow these people.
CALLER: No, it's not. And what's really funny is they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and spout to the media.
RUSH: The phony soldiers.
CALLER: The phony soldiers. If you talk to any real soldier and they're proud to serve, they want to be over in Iraq, they understand their sacrifice and they're willing to sacrifice for the country.
RUSH: They joined to be in Iraq.
RUSH: It's frustrating and maddening, and why they must be kept in the minority. I want to thank you, Mike, for calling. I appreciate it very much.
Watch the video of Rush setting the record straight.
So, like it says right there in black and white, phony soldiers are soldiers who are in the military and aren't proud to serve their country. If you're in the military and you aren't proud, you aren't supportive of the war and are fighting against the cause then that sounds pretty phony to me. Yeah, I'm sure there are plenty of soldier against the Iraq War that I wouldn't call phony. An example of phony soldiers are these people that the Democrats pull out of the gutter willing to lie about what they have seen in Iraq. People that come back from the battlefield and lie about what they saw end up hurting our troops, something that is not only phony but absurd.
A perfect example of who Rush is talking about is Jesse MacBeth. From RushLimbaugh.com:
Here is a Morning Update that we did recently, talking about fake soldiers. This is a story of who the left props up as heroes. They have their celebrities and one of them was Army Ranger Jesse MacBeth. Now, he was a "corporal." I say in quotes. Twenty-three years old. What made Jesse MacBeth a hero to the anti-war crowd wasn't his Purple Heart; it wasn't his being affiliated with post-traumatic stress disorder from tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. No. What made Jesse MacBeth, Army Ranger, a hero to the left was his courage, in their view, off the battlefield, without regard to consequences. He told the world the abuses he had witnessed in Iraq, American soldiers killing unarmed civilians, hundreds of men, women, even children. In one gruesome account, translated into Arabic and spread widely across the Internet, Army Ranger Jesse MacBeth describes the horrors this way: "We would burn their bodies. We would hang their bodies from the rafters in the mosque."
Now, recently, Jesse MacBeth, poster boy for the anti-war left, had his day in court. And you know what? He was sentenced to five months in jail and three years probation for falsifying a Department of Veterans Affairs claim and his Army discharge record. He was in the Army. Jesse MacBeth was in the Army, folks, briefly. Forty-four days before he washed out of boot camp. Jesse MacBeth isn't an Army Ranger, never was. He isn't a corporal, never was. He never won the Purple Heart, and he was never in combat to witness the horrors he claimed to have seen. You probably haven't even heard about this. And, if you have, you haven't heard much about it. This doesn't fit the narrative and the template in the Drive-By Media and the Democrat Party as to who is a genuine war hero. Don't look for any retractions, by the way. Not from the anti-war left, the anti-military Drive-By Media, or the Arabic websites that spread Jesse MacBeth's lies about our troops, because the truth for the left is fiction that serves their purpose. They have to lie about such atrocities because they can't find any that fit the template of the way they see the US military. In other words, for the American anti-war left, the greatest inconvenience they face is the truth.
If you are serving in the military and find that offensive then I'm sorry, I guarantee that he is not talking about all soldiers against the war. If you are in the military, you have chosen so, for whatever reason you should be proud to serve this country. It's one hundred percent reasonable for soldiers to become tired of the war, to come against it and to even protest it. Blatantly lying and feeding propaganda to the enemy is a whole other story, that is when you become a phony soldier. Fake, heartless and not worthy of the army uniform.
TalkingPointsMemo is reporting that the House may be voting to condemn Limbaugh. They are obviously looking for payback for the "General Betray Us" faux pas. What makes this sad is that it only further promotes the fact that the Democrats are on the wrong side. They don't care about showing the troops they support them, they are using this as a chance to slander the right. MoveOn.org is a joke, Rush Limbaugh is a highly syndicated talk show host that draws millions of listeners a day. It would mean the world for the Democrats to publicly condemn him, after the various, highly offensive slander from the left, it is amazing that this is the best they can find.

JOIN AS AN ORIGINAL COSPONSOR OF A RESOLUTION
HONORING OUR ARMED FORCES AND
CONDEMNING RUSH LIMBAUGH'S ATTACK
ON "PHONY SOLDIERS"
Dear Colleague:
On September 26, 2007 the broadcaster Rush Limbaugh told a nationwide radio audience that members of the Armed Forces who have expressed disagreement with current policies of the United States regarding military activities in Iraq are "phony soldiers."
On Monday I will introduce a resolution honoring all Americans serving in the Armed Forces and condemning this unwarranted attack on the integrity and professionalism of those in the Armed Forces who choose to exercise their constitutional right to express their opinions regarding U.S. military action in Iraq.
For more information or to cosponsor the resolution, please contact XXXXXXX in my office at xxxxx.
Sincerely,
Mark Udall
Bullspit! "Honoring all Americans serving in the Armed Forces." If it's one thing that I know for sure, it is that the Democratic party isn't in the business of honoring anyone. Somebody knock this down before it becomes hailed as truth like all the other propaganda spoon fed from the left.
