Striking Back at Limbaugh

If you haven't heard Rush' comments about phone soldiers here it is and Vote Vets calls him on his hypocrisy (yet again). Will there be a resolution in the Senate condemning his statements. Of course not. Rethuglicans are actually trying to defend them.

Jon Stoltz, a soldier made a challenge to Rush: My challenge to you, then, is to have me on the show and say all of this again, right to the face of someone who served in Iraq. I’ll come on any day, any time. Not only will I once again explain why your comments were so wrong, but I will completely school you on why your refusal to seek a way out of Iraq is only aiding al Qaeda and crippling American security.

Representative Frank Pallone of New Jersey Calls the Rethuglicans on their Hypocrisy

I found this on Think Progress. Rush Limbaugh called soldiers who favor withdrawal "phony soldiers."

Rush Limbaugh could earn the SG Assclown of the week every week. We will let Mr. Pallone do our talking for us today.

Representative Patrick Murphy D (PA) also had this to say:
Someone should tell chicken-hawk Rush Limbaugh that the only phonies are those who choose not to serve and then criticize those who do. I served proudly, so did two of my fellow paratroopers in the 82nd Airborne who spoke out and died just weeks ago. Generations of American veterans have worn the uniform with pride and we know it is no contradiction to serve your country and still disagree with the Bush-civilian leadership that mismanaged this war.
