Elizabeth Edwards Attacks Rush Limbaugh
From Politico.com:
An Air America producer just sent over some transcript from an interview their Richard Greene (not our Richard Greene) conducted with Elizabeth Edwards, in which she questioned Rush Limbaugh’s Vietnam exemption:
“My classmates went to Vietnam, he did not. He was 4F. He had a medical disability, the same medical disability that probably should have stopped him from spending a lifetime in a radio announcer’s chair; but it is true, isn’t it? If he has an inoperable position that allows him not to serve, presumably it should not allow him to sit for long periods of time the way he does. I think this is a serious enough offense for the people who fund him, who buy ads and allow him to be on the air, need to be asked if this is what they really stand for, do they think it is all right for someone who has never served to denigrate the men and women who have simply because they are expressing an opinion. Frankly, I thought that is what we are fighting for.”
In the interview, Edwards also suggested that John Kerry shouldn’t have conceded when he did in 2004.
RG: Were you disappointed that Sen. Kerry conceded as quickly as he did?
EE: I was very disappointed, not just because we did not count the votes, but because we promised people that if they stood in line and fought for the right to vote, that we would fight with them. And I was very disappointed that the decision was made by the campaign, over John’s objection, not to fight.
You can listen to the interview here.
AND: Snopes.com has the details of Limbaugh’s draft status, and concludes that he was legitimately ineligible for the draft, though it also says his own responses to the question have been “unconvincing and dissembling.”
And John Edwards recently criticized Limbaugh’s “phony soldiers” remark.

October 4th, 2007 at 6:33 pmI felt sorry for this twat, being married to the metrosexual con John.
She has that old abandonment of mind disease, lust for power.
Easy to see who wears a jock in that pairing.
October 4th, 2007 at 6:43 pmisn’t she bed ridden yet?
October 4th, 2007 at 6:45 pmif her classmates went to ‘nam then what happened to her hubby??? my dad was 4f in wwii but that didn’t keep me fm going into the MARINES.. or my son,, or my daughter fm going into the army then the air force.. her argument is so full of holes she needs more chemicals,, i mean chemo. and what fight did the voters do??? not the same fight that the 1500 military votes that the gore and florida supreme court had thrown out so they could count all the dead and felons in miami,,,she is just another sore loooooooooser..
October 4th, 2007 at 6:52 pmAh yes, the old “you didn’t serve, so you don’t have the right to support ordering our troops into battle” tactic. Liberals are so sleazy it defies words. Well, Rush wasn’t a cop or a fireman either, but he’s no less entitled to his opinion about them, too. Every time a lib opens their fat gob, it makes me hate them even more.

Draft Lottery No. 178
Of course, Edwards himself hasn’t always been forthright about his own military record - or rather, lack thereof.
In April, NBC “Today Show” host Katie Couric asked him where he was during Vietnam. The exchange went like this:
COURIC: Your military service, before we go?
EDWARDS: I - I did not serve in the military.
COURIC: You had a high lottery number, is that right?
EDWARDS: I did, and I came after - after the time that they were actually drafting from the lottery, Katie. I’m 50 years old. And because at the time I came along and graduated from high school and then - and then went to college, I was not drafted. [END OF EXCERPT]
A high lottery number? Not exactly. Pulling number 178 in the February 1972 Selective Service lottery drawing, Edwards’ number was lower than more than half of those picked.
And what about the claim that he “came after the time that they were actually drafting from the lottery.”
That’s not strictly true either. The year Edwards became eligible for the draft, the military drafted 49,514 men, according to Selective Service records - tapping draftees who had lottery numbers as high as 95. The draft was abolished in July 1973.
But even that year, 646 young men born the same year as Edwards were inducted into the military.

Blah blah blah…The more they revolve an issue around Rush, the more scatterbrain they become. That big bad Rush is a meany and were not going to take it…will legislate him and use our AQ tactical terrorism on him
October 4th, 2007 at 7:31 pmSo now EVERYone’s gotta jump on the gravy train.
October 4th, 2007 at 7:45 pmI thought it was Bush who wanted to restrict our freedoms, you know, looking at my library card, listening to my personal conversations on the phone, and checking my credit cards to see if I was sending money to the terrorists. But gee, it Wussie Clark who wants a new law by Congress to restrict free speech by talk radio hosts. Gosh, will this apply to liberal talk show hosts such as Whoopa Goldfinger (do ya later) or Chrissie Mathews or Air (used to be) America? Oh, I forgot, there ain’t no liberal talk radio.
October 4th, 2007 at 8:13 pmThese fuck nuts still keep running with something that did not happen.
October 4th, 2007 at 8:25 pmFunny how Silky sends his husband out to do the trash-talking, ain’t it?
October 4th, 2007 at 8:31 pmThe one bright spot in her running her pie-hole is we won’t have to listen to it much longer!
And when she’s gone we probably won’t hear much more from “Silky” anymore either!
October 4th, 2007 at 8:37 pmThe odds of Elizabeth Edwards’ breck girl hubby becoming the next President of the United States are about as good as Mrs. Edwards making an apple pie and giving it to her neighbors. Someone please shut her up!!
October 4th, 2007 at 8:57 pmIsn’t this the same dolt that told somebody to be nice to the Breck faggot?
October 4th, 2007 at 9:05 pmPray tell, if Edwards can’t come out and take on Hillary himself, how is he supposed to take on our enemies as POTUS? I don’t get it, is his wife running or is he?
October 5th, 2007 at 1:41 amTed, John “the Breck Gurl” is using brilliant strategy. Everyone knows that you cannot attack a dying hag, I mean woman. So Rush cannot fire back at the Edwards’, or can he. Just all of us who see through John “I’m so beeeutiful” Edwards cowardice, Rush and the talking heads can attack originator of Mrs. Edwards thoughts, I mean she has brain cancer how much thinking for herself can she do?

Elizabeth Edwards Faked Her Cancer*
Ishcabibble, ishcabobble. If Elizabeth Edwards can talk nasty trashy lies, so can I. *Of course I don’t know if it was fake or not but so what? I am channeling the Democrats. FACTS ARE IRRELEVANT. If Lizzie can suggest that Rush’s draft deferrment was faked, I can suggest her cancer is a an election ploy for sympathy (well her husband ain’t gonna get there on courage and moxie.) Who and what are these people?
Oh yeah and her husband was such a war hero! /sarc tag off
And what up wit dat pussy boy husband of hers. She fights his battles? He sends her to do his dirty work? He sent her to take on Ann Coulter? Doesn’t want to muss his hair? This fraidy cat is running for pres. Oyish.
Oh and it’s a faovrite tactic of the left to put folks up, “victims” (ie Michael J. Fox, the 9/11 New Jersey girls, Elizabeth Edwards) that are holier than thou. Dare to respond to their ad hominem attacks and you are labeled an insensitive, coldblooded rightwing extremist - in other words, me
…
Her claim: That a medical condition that prevents someone from serving in the army should logically also prevent him from sitting in a chair for three hours doing a radio show.
From now on I think I’m going to call Lizzy Edwards “Professor Science.” I think she’s earned that right.
When did John Edwards serve, I’m wondering?
And I’m kind of doubting Elizabeth Edwards’ reasons for not serving.
Good God, the woman looks like she played strong-side linebacker for one of Buddy Ryan’s more thuggish squads. She could have been Rowdy Roddy Piper’s stunt double in They Live. She’s got all the the feminine grace of bulldozer colliding with a monster truck and then both smashing into a cock factory.Posted by Ace at 05:18 PM
