Phony senatorial outrage

ABC News recently broadcast a report on phony soldiers, including Jesse MacBeth. Is Salazar going to vote to censure ABC News? Daily Sentinel story here. Of course not. This is all about stopping talk radio and freedom of speech and thought. ABC is no threat to that!

    A transcript of the call from Limbaugh’s show on Sept. 26 had this conversation with a caller to his show:

    Caller: “No, it’s not. And what’s really funny is they never talk to real soldiers. They pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and spout to the media.”

    Limbaugh: “The phony soldiers.”

    Caller: “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.”

    Limbaugh, later in the broadcast, said Jesse MacBeth was one of the “phony soldiers.”
Caught with their pants down and gums flapping, the Dems are saying now, "Well, he used the plural--and Jesse is only one." Like there aren't others?

I watched O'Reilly interview one of the vets against the war last night--I think Wesley Clark the former Republican funds the group. The guy made complete sense and he stuck to his guns no matter how O'Reilly tried to get him off track to condemn some liberal who had made stupid statements that weren't ambiguous, and were in print. The vet said, "Instead of talking about the war, the senators are talking about people talking about the war." You are so right, young man, and thank you for your service (assuming you are a real veteran who fought in Iraq, but with the people funding you, it's hard to tell.)

The 'big story' is now that Limbaugh edited the tape he released. I am not a big fan of Limbaugh, I think he generally talks to hear his own voice, but please does this need to be debated in the Senate? I'd like to have the free time Harry Reid has- there is a war going on and he has time to discuss some windbag on the radio on the floor of the Senate.
