The latest Limbaugh controversy

[etothepii]

Any takes on it?

I haven't listened to his comments, so I won't discuss the merits of the argument right now ... maybe after doing some reading.

What I'm concerned about is Harry Ried's actions on it. He makes a claim like "I respect Limbaugh's right to say whatever he wants ... "

Then he pushes for a congressional censure. Does that seem contradictory to you at all? Now, I'm not a wealthy radio show host, but if the U.S. congress decided to censure me based on something I have said, I would feel like I was being intimidated. I wouldn't feel quite so free to say what I wanted.

Maybe I'm just too faro out in left field on this one.

It is all tit for tat. Soros and the putrid moveon.org called a four star general a traitor anda lot ofDemocrats in congress did not have the guts to say that their mouthpiece did wrong. Now a lot of Republicans in congress will not have the guts to say that Limbaugh did wrong. Limbaugh is somewhat famous for bad-mouthing US troops who do not agree with his silly line. Limbaugh got a draft deferment for an "anal cyst." Now the chickenhawk spouts all his holy war crap.

Just curious as to whether you've actually heardwhat he said and his subsequent responses to lying clowns like Harry Reid and Socialist backed (Soros and Klinton) organizations like Moveon.org.

This appears to be another instance of some morons on the left taking something out of context and blowing it up into something it wasn't. His comment was referring to a former soldier who fabricated a bunch of things about atrocities committed by himself and his unit in Iraq. Problem was that the guy was never even there. Hence "phony soldier". There are plenty of things to disagree with Rush about without making stuff up. Doesn't appear to me thathe did anything wrong for which Republican congressmen shouldchastise him.

Dang. Leave the office for three minutes to get a cup of coffee, and now I have to call the US Geological Survey to find out whether hell froze over...

You nailed this one on the head IP.

The Democrats are so pathetic it's sad, they've got nothing so they're trying as hard as they can to shut down opposing view points. [:'(]

Did Harry Reid and his pack of fools actually pass that?
