Desperate John Edwards Tries To Equate Rush With MoveOn.org - With Video
This guy is getting really desperate, first saying he’s going to dip into public campaign funds, which is sure sign of a sinking ship, and now this…for crying out loud, Johnnie boy, just do us all a favor, open a string of beauty parlors and then go home and take care of your wife. In the article below, I highlighted what I believe to be one of the most idiotic statments to come out of this preening prissy’s mouth in recent history.

CLAREMONT, N.H. - Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards criticized Rush Limbaugh on Friday for referring to some members of the military as “phony soldiers.”
For his part, Limbaugh said he was referring only to one soldier recently convicted of lying about his service.
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.”
Dodd’s spokesman, Hari Sevugan, also weighed in.
“It’s ironic, if not remotely surprising, that Rush Limbaugh—who makes his living shooting his mouth off—would impugn the patriotism and service of American troops simply because they have voiced their opposition to this failed policy,” he said in statement. “It’s clear that he has no idea what the brave men and women of our armed forces are ostensibly fighting for.”
In a transcript of Thursday’s show posted on his Web site, Limbaugh said the comment followed a discussion of Jesse Macbeth, who was sentenced to five months in prison earlier this month for collecting more than $10,00 in benefits to which he was not entitled.
Macbeth, 23, of Tacoma, Wash., tried to position himself as a leader of the anti-war movement by claiming to have participated in war crimes when in fact he was kicked out of the Army in 2003 after six weeks at Fort Benning, Ga.
“He became a hero to the anti-war left. They love phony soldiers, and they prop ‘em up,” Limbaugh said Thursday. “I was not talking … about the anti-war movement generally. I was talking about one soldier with that phony soldier comment, Jesse MacBeth.”

I would call this faggot a Democrat but I cannot afford a rehab at this time.

September 28th, 2007 at 7:39 pmWe are in an age of wrong is right and right is wrong …
I’ve talked out the whole Limbaugh non-story all day. But if you guys need to catch up here are links to the transcript and the Rush’s Ditto-Cam video from his radio show earlier today … For the record, I heard both yesterday’s and today’s radio shows. Limbaugh was NOT calling troops/soldiers who are anti-Iraq war the “phonies”. He’s talking about the ones who the LLLMSM tout as “voices”, only to have someone outside the LLLMSM find out these people are phonies, and the LLLMSM never retracts … The old “fake but accurate” mentality of the fairytale media in the 21st Century.

I’m off to bed ~yawn~
September 28th, 2007 at 8:01 pmWoops … Forgot this. A short list of “phony soldiers”:
Jesse MacBeth
Scott Thomas Beauchamp
Josh A. Garcia
Micah Ian Wright
I am sure yunz can come up with more.
And if I go back to the Vietnam War, the list must start with John Kerry.
September 28th, 2007 at 8:04 pmThe dhimmi-crats have drunk the kool-aid. When will they learn. But you know they have some zealots who even if they heard Rush’s show will only ‘hear’ what they want to. This will haunt Edwards, Rush will bring this up again and again as a measure of his irresponsibility. Dimwit. Whoever on his staff did this to him should be fired, but I hope they aren’t. Keep it coming you pansy.
September 28th, 2007 at 8:31 pmAaaaah! Now this makes sense! The dummycrats look like asses over the “Betray Us” ad, but don’t want to piss off the anti-war nutballs by denouncing the ad. SO, now we have to have a cooked-up controversy and puffed-up outrage over it to save face. Never mind those worthless fucks didn’t do anything to help the Haditha marines.
Also, Silky Pony decides he needs to grow a pair and start going after SOMEONE since Ann Coulter called him out as an effeminate douchebag. A Silky/Rush feud will be hilarious. Rush will crush him.
I’m sure they hate Rush because he actually gets PAID for rights to syndicate his program. Air America has to actually PAY stations to carry their programming. The reason being is that radio stations could play Bohemian Death Metal Polka and get higher ratings and ad revenue. My favorite story is of a station in New York that was taken over by Air America. They used to play all carribean drum music. They actually had LESS listeners after they switched over.
So now they have to resort to smear in hopes that Rush’s listerns are as stupid as they are and will boycott Rush’s show. Unbeleivable.
September 29th, 2007 at 2:39 amNazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels quote:If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. This is what MoveOn/far, far left is doing and it makes me SICK! Look I am not a Rush fan because my opinion he is a little bit to the far right but before you start accusing someone of doing something you better back it up with FACTS! Now these idiots are attacking Bill O’Reilly and he is a center right kind of guy?!! Now its sound like far, far left is trying shut up the A.M. Radio talk shows because those show are the only thing left that have not been taken over yet. If we allow LIES to become TRUTH to shut down any real opinion then we will lose our right of free speech and then we lose our great nation!
September 29th, 2007 at 6:22 amBye John, act like a professional and pack it in. You’re done and you have no hope of getting elected. Have a little grace and dignity, oh wait, sorry, you’re a trial attorney, you have no dignity.
September 29th, 2007 at 6:39 amIf the leftys glom on to a person practicing “Stolen Valor”, you’d think they’d browse his Military Record first to see if he’s legit, I do now, or question him some on details, check with that Unit Association etc.. . I have no pitty for those who get duped by them. I’ve been duped by such people myself and deserve every “I told you so”…and other cussings.. for giving them the doubt. It’s usually no big deal unless one of the phonies gets into a position of some kind of power,notority, then the damamge is exponential. I hope this Macbeth and the rest get charged under the new “Stolen Valor” laws.
