Harkin: "Maybe he(Limbaugh) was just high on his drugs. I don't know."
REMEMBER THIS FROM FAUX NOISE

Rush Limbaugh Slams Democrats for Falsely Targeting Him
Tuesday, October 02, 2007
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,298999,00.html

<<snip>>

In an attack that began with the first words of the show and continued throughout his daily three-hour broadcast Tuesday, Limbaugh compared Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, claimed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is using a liberal media watchdog to suppress her opposition and said he feels sorry for Sen. Tom Harkin's family for having to be associated with the Iowa Democrat's statements on the Senate floor a day earlier.

"It's about them and they are desperately trying to salvage themselves with their own lunatic fringe base who they are not only disappointing but they are deceiving because the dirty, little secret, as I also predicted, was that if the Democrats win the White House in '08 they are not pulling out of Iraq. All the top tier Democrats have said so," Limbaugh told his audience.

"Time to distract those peasants with pitchforks out there who are fit to be tied over being betrayed by Harry Reid, (House Speaker) Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats," he said.

The conservative talk radio host was fighting back after Democratic lawmakers in the House and Senate lambasted him over remarks he made last week suggesting veterans who oppose the Iraq war are "phony soldiers."

"Rush Limbaugh took it upon himself to attack the courage and character of those fighting and dying for him and for all of us. Rush Limbaugh got himself a deferment from serving when he was a young man. He never served in uniform. He never saw in person the extreme difficulty of maintaining peace in a foreign country engaged in a civil war. He never saw a person in combat. Yet, that he thinks his opinion on the war is worth more than those who have been on the front lines," Reid said.

Harkin followed Reid, saying: "Maybe he was just high on his drugs. I don't know." In 2003, Limbaugh admitted a dependency on pain medication, but three years later reached a plea deal that cleared him of prescription shopping for Oxycontin.

Since Limpballs is to cowardly to give his email out unless you pay $65 to join his club, I think we should contact clear channel so they can hear from the "lunatic fringe base" and the "peasants with pitchforks".

1. The honorable Tom Harkin is a veteran
of the United States Navy. Limbaugh is a veteran of...um...wait, it'll come to me...Oh yeah, NO BRANCH OF THE SERVICE! Yep, sure sounds like Harkin is part of the lunatic fringe all right. My goodness, sometimes when he's back home, he likes to go pheasant hunting! Oh! The horror! Since our elected representatives can't really come out and say this, I will; fuck you limbaugh. Crawl back into whatever hole you crawled out of and never be heard or seen again.
