During the September 26 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh called service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq "phony soldiers." He made the comment while discussing with a caller a conversation he had with a previous caller, "Mike from Chicago," who said he "used to be military," and "believe[s] that we should pull out of Iraq." Limbaugh told the second caller, whom he identified as "Mike, this one from Olympia, Washington," that "[t]here's a lot" that people who favor U.S. withdrawal "don't understand" and that when asked why the United States should pull out, their only answer is, " 'Well, we just gotta bring the troops home.' ... 'Save the -- keeps the troops safe' or whatever," adding, "[I]t's not possible, intellectually, to follow these people." "Mike" from Olympia replied, "No, it's not, and what's really funny is, they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and talk to the media." Limbaugh interjected, "The phony soldiers." The caller, who had earlier said, "I am a serving American military, in the Army," agreed, replying, "The phony soldiers."
Yup. Sure. Ok, Rush. You should know. You are the person who used the phony excuse of having a boil on your ass to avoid service during Vietnam. You have no business referring to anyone, other than yourself, as a "phony soldier."

And yet while this was going on, the subject in Congress was against the Moveon.org ad which I believe was led by Gabrielle Gifford(D) Arizona.
Where is our Congress on this parasite called Rush Limbaugh? Where was the Congress during the successful smear campagain against John Kerry, Max Cleland and John Murtha? WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?
The GOP leaders, up for re-election, may be refusing to talk to the MSM about the war, but it's the reasons stated above (and many others) that the Democratic leadership has a lot to worry about in '08.
We see, hear and absorb everything.
Their problem is ... they think we forget.
