Is there a recording of Limbaugh calling the soldiers phony? If so,
how can he continue to say it is not true? Was the soldier who is against the war fighting in Iraq and did he really get a purple heart? What is the truth? Anyone? Bueller?

If he did say it about a real soldier, then Reid should go on his show and let him have it.

1. Yes he said it, and it was general..
All soldiers who don't support the war are "phony soldiers"

I guess he can blame the hillbilly heroin, otherwise he's just lying like he has for 20 years.

2. LOL
No offense but you have a simple, innocent view of the world.

Yes, there is a recording. He can deny it because the people that listen to him are total dipshits. And if you repeat a lie long enough it becoms true. O'Reilly does this exact same thing every time media matters points out how wrong or how racist he is.

And Limpballs will not allow Reid or anyone else that can challenge him on his show.

23. "If"? "If that's the case"? I guess I'm just simply innocent but here is just one link.

Before you cast asparagus, maybe you should do a little research. I'm just sayin'.....

6. I think media matters had the entire program on audio. Not just the portion of it that
Limpbutt replayed on his own show.

8. I heard the whole thing last friday on *I think* Ed Schulz' show
there is no doubt he called soldiers who want the war to end 'phony.'

7. Yes, they have played it I know on MSNBC & CNN. However, the
dems again really are not pushing it as hard as they should.

Limbaugh evidently doesn't feel threatened because he is still using it on the air, basically throwing it in the faces of the dems.

14. Unfortunately, the way it works is this:
-- rabid right wing blowhard makes indefensible comment

-- a hue and cry is raised

-- tapes are played and transcripts are posted

-- rabid right wing blowhard claims to have been misquoted or taken out of context

-- rabid right wing's mighty wurlitzer goes into high gear, parroting blowhard's claims

-- rabid right wing blowhard's supporters release edited tapes and transcripts "proving" he did not say what he said

-- average joe and average jane who do not watch these things as closely as us politics junkies, hear a lot of hubbub but do not have any effective way to know the truth. They know this, so they don't care that much -- and also, with Congress actually censuring Moveon.org (for example), they figure there must have been something there; whereas Congress declines to censure the rabid right wing blowhard, so it must have been just the usual partisan flap.

-- at this point the dialog has been hopelessly sullied; it's game over, blowhard wins, we lose

15. He's saying he was misunderstood, that he was only talking about some soldiers
and not all the ones who are against the war.

I say, welcome to the karmic boomerang. They distorted what Kerry was trying to say with the botched joke. If the Dems are playing the same game now, all I can say is payback's a bitch.

16. Yes he said this and yes the ex. Sgt.is real. He was wounded
& received a real Purple Heart.

The RWing feels that it must defend the AssClown with all the trickery they can muster because
he is their top BS Blowhard. If he is destroyed, the others, such as Hannity, O'Reilly, Anthrax & others are in danger, as well. RWingers circle their wagons every time. They have the Corp. Media on their side for most of the PR, Spin. Rush will survive. He will keep his show & Armed Forces Radio. This will blow over as most things, such as this do.

17. I have not looked up the man he's calling a phony soldier
what's his story? Rush has been trying to say that the guy wasn't in Iraq and such. Is he distorting or outright lying about the guy?

RWing Assholes first distort, obfuscate, misrepresent, then flat out lie.

21. The story is confusing now, just what Rush & his defenders
want. Yeah, the guy he was talking about at first was a phony. The Sgt. that appeared on Count Down is not. The thing that people are upset about is what was said before the phony soldier was brought into the convo. Rush said that soldiers who are calling for the end to the US Occupation are all phonies. He erased that part when he released the tape of the convo. I heard that part on Count Down.

22. I know Mike Malloy played Rush's recording. Not only
did Mike play it in it's entirety, he also played the entire conversation of Rush's caller before too. It was very unusual for Mike to play that much of Rush Limbaugh's show. Now I know why he did it!
