**LIMBAUGH IS THE PHONY & THE FAKE & IS HAS NO CREDITABILITY**
During the September 26, 2007 broadcast of Rush Limbaugh’s radio show, he used the term “phony soldiers”. A caller said he was a Republican who had served in the military and felt it was time to leave Iraq. The next caller, who also claimed military service, said, “They never talk to real soldiers. They pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and spout to the media.” Limbaugh responded, “Phony soldiers.” The caller responded, “Phony soldiers. If you talk to any real soldier and they’re proud to serve, they want to be over in Iraq, they understand their sacrifice and they’re willing to sacrifice for the country.” Later in the show Limbaugh discussed Jesse Macbeth with the caller. Jesse Macbeth was in the Army but did not complete basic training, and on June 7, 2007, Macbeth pleaded guilty to one count of making false statements to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and was sentenced to 5 months jail and three years probation. Media Matters noted Limbaugh’s use of the term “phony soldiers” in an article on their website, and their article received substantial press coverage after it was discussed in speeches by Presidential candidates John Edwards and Chris Dodd. Limbaugh later attacked Media Matters, claiming that he had been talking about only Jesse Macbeth when he had made the comment about “phony soldiers”. Media Matters disputed the accuracy of Limbaugh’s claim, noting in a later article that “Limbaugh then purported to air the “entire” segment in question. In fact, the clip he aired omitted a full 1 minute and 35 seconds of discussion that occurred between Limbaugh’s original “phony soldiers” comment and his subsequent reference to MacBeth.”
Even the soldiers and veterans don’t support Bush & the war. We stand behind the troops but not the war.
