Rush Limbaugh on crack.

“Well we can be sure Vile is BUZZING ABOUT SOMETHING....I just choose not to look at it. Is he mentioning the stuff about the arrest...or just buzzing to keep his mind of the last failed BUND meeting.”

“I just choose not to look at it.

...but i have this MOMMY GOVERNMENT job that lets me post all day on the taxpayer dime...”

“The Billush O'Rimbaugh rescue team is here, I didn't hear the sirens, but I can smell an 'ALL' from a mile away. Oh, 'ALL' is the PC
vanilla version of the now ancient 'ASS'.”

Huh?”

“You know what tiltypoo says about blogs.
He will be so disappointed in you, troll.”

“Sounds like Rimjob is back on the Oxy.

What kind of lowlife would defend a comment like that?”

“limbow is an irrelevant joke”

“Don't talk about that fine veteran of the radio version of TrailTalk. He and Billo should be on the 2008 ticket from the 'Don't need cattle to make a pile party'.”

“I remember a similar demonstration of twisted morality.... when a guy came on the o'Reilly show and said his father (who died saving other people at the World Trade Center) would not want Bush to use his death as an excuse to invade Iraq.

o'Reilly   Lost   His   #&%!$ing   Mind.  He was jabbering and frothing at the mouth and threatening the guy, pounding on the desk.... calling him a goddam a traitor....

Damndest thing you ever saw.”

“I do love the title of this thread, but it's So Damn Redundant ----”

“I'm down to 9 cans of tuna, 2 rolls of plastic and 3 rolls of duck tape and Costco is closed until tomorrow morning. I'll take some drugs, cause I was thinking for a moment, that prayer would get me through the night.”

“Its great that all the wingers who were apoplectic about the moveon ad are out front condemning Limbaugh's "phony soldiers" remark.



....oh, wait...”

“Violin - Media Matters fooled you before.

I suggest you check out the full context from what Rush said instead of their spin before you go much further.”

“Somebody...........please Flush Limbaugh.”

“Sorry MarkO but Rush is a floater.”

“I see nothing really wrong with what he said, but the same as O'Rally and Larry,it's not what they did or said it's the high standard they must maintain.”

“Here is the transcript. It does look like he (and the caller) aren't misquoted, but I'll leave it up to you to decipher the intent:

LIMBAUGH: There's a lot more than that that they don't understand. They can't even -- if -- the next guy that calls here, I'm gonna ask him: Why should we pull -- what is the imperative for pulling out? What's in it for the United States to pull out? They can't -- I don't think they have an answer for that other than, "Well, we just gotta bring the troops home."

CALLER 2: Yeah, and, you know what --

LIMBAUGH: "Save the -- keep the troops safe" or whatever. I -- it's not possible, intellectually, to follow these people.

CALLER 2: 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: The phony soldiers.

CALLER 2: The phony soldiers. If you talk to a real soldier, they are proud to serve. They want to be over in Iraq. They understand their sacrifice, and they're willing to sacrifice for their country.

LIMBAUGH: They joined to be in Iraq. They joined --

CALLER 2: A lot of them -- the new kids, yeah.”

“source?”

“kleetn, That's a snippet of a much bigger conversation. The context is out.”

“He was talking about this guy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Macbeth

Nice spin.”

“Kleetn, source? Media Matters?”

“Sarge - I said that after listening to the full broadcast, I'd give O'Reilly a pass but that he had put his foot in his mouth a couple of times. Don't try to twist that into "media matters is an unreliable source". They posted transcripts and long audio clips.


Please explain the context that everyone seems to be missing here.”

“Rush says he was talking about one guy, but he said "soldiers." Second, the context shows he was talking about multiple people.

Look at what the caller was saying, Rush sounds like he's agreeing - he's certainly not correcting the guy and the guy is saying "they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and talk to the media."”

“Sarge: have you got a broader context, a bigger piece of transcript that shows Violin and hikerboy have it wrong?”

“Source? The Baltimore Sun. Why, Stovestomper? Are you claiming the quote is somehow inaccurate? Or that reading the entire transcript makes what Rush says somehow more palatable? Or his new attack on Murtha is somehow different than what MoveOn said about Petraeus? Please, enlighten us.”

“Are you a Rush subscriber pedxing?”

“Rush would never say anything about, 'Blackwater Sold$yours'.When will Northrup Gruman employees fly and drop bombs? When will Exxon and Chevron pay Blackwater and Northrup for getting oil? When will the people that drive the cars pay the real price? When will the people that drive their cars to the airport pay the full price for the airline ticket? When will the taxpayer just nolonger pay taxes?”

“Is the cost of bodyguards and other security built into the price of a gallon of Esso Extra?

You bet yer ass.

With their own profit margins.


Who pays for the Armalites needed to keep the juice flowing from Nigeria?”

“Nope , not a subscriber. I do listen to him on the radio sometimes. If you subscribe and have a more complete transcript because of it, please share.”

“Seems like there's already been one Transcript Incident this week as to whether there was an 'S' in a particular spot or not.”

“You can get the transcript as a guest Sarge: http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_092607/content/01125113.guest.html

Please explain what "context" we are missing.”

“Wish I was a member, I'll bet all the 2008 model spellings of 'Libby' are being showcased.”

“Including a sneak peek of the full pardon scheduled for January of '09?”

“Without Rove , Who will spell MilhousE?”

“The context, first off, is the caller, not Rush, referred specifically to the fake soldiers. Secondly, they are referring to those who the dems used them for Iraq, and they (kerry) used them for Vietnam. People who never served! What is the mystery here?

You guys are doing what you do best, why most of America doesn't take you seriously, throwing darts ... hoping to hit something.”

“Pure projection.”

“Wishful thinking to the point of delusion?”

“Well, let's see. Rush has been talking about this for some time. (it even makes the morning updates) - Then the caller mentioned it, Rush stepped in without missing a beat. You guys obviously don't listen to the show. (I don't either, but the morning updates provide enough context to know what they're talking about)

This subject was talked about even before Macbeth, during the campaign, because Kerry was caught interviewing fake soldiers in Vietnam.

Your problem is that you don't want to believe the reality when it's first presented to you, then when it's talked about as matter of fact, you have no context for the discussion because you ignored it the first time.”

“People who never served! What is the mystery here?

No mystery. Everyone knows Rush had a boil on his ass or something and never served. That's the reality.”

“Thank you for the source, kleetn.

When is ol' tiltypoo going to take his own advice? Must not be worth much.”

“Now Rush is a boil on the ass of humanity.”

“Lets define "SERVED" real quick...now is this going to consider ONLY Actual Combat veterans...meaning they were in heavy ground combat or do we consider "SERVED" as having been say in the Military but never really left our shores, or never were shot at or what?

I mean my uncle had friends who were in supply units in World War II who never saw a shot fired, but never the less were awarded points for being in a combat zone.

So what will we consider "having served"? One of my Father's best friends "never served" since he was a senior engineer with Boeing and as such was PROHIBITED from even leaving the area of his factory without permission in the early parts of World War II but I guess he NEVER SERVED....

Nah I just need to know since, President Bush (41) was the youngest Torpeado Bomber Pilot in World War II and got shot down (meaning he saw some really tough crap) but Slick ran against him we were told {"it didn't matter"). Then the war hero Bob Dole ran against him and again you libbies said, "Service is a lot different than just combat." So lets set the parameters (Not that libbies will ever follow the rules but it will be a fun exercise).

I mean if you have not SEEN combat I am assuming you guys say the person is incapable of giving direction in combat....Yet Eisenhower never saw a day of combat yet led the European Front (WHAAAAA?) While Patton a veteran of heavy combat in World War I was relegated to a field position.

Fake veteran gets 5-month sentence
Man claimed to have helped kill civilians in Iraq
By MIKE BARBER
P-I REPORTER

Jesse MacBeth never was an Army Ranger, much less a corporal, never received a Purple Heart for wounds inflicted by a foreign foe, and neither saw nor participated in war crimes with fellow U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, claims for which he became a poster boy for the anti-war movement.

So, there was likely no way the 23-year-old Tacoma man suffered post-traumatic stress disorder from the horrors of war and other injuries.

MacBeth was sentenced Friday to five months in jail and three years' probation for falsifying a Department of Veterans Affairs claim and an Army discharge record.

“What are they thinking?
Fake war hero Tom Harkin (D-IA) smears Rush Limbaugh

Is there any doubt that Tom Harkin is a MoveOn.org Democrat? Nope, none at all.

Harkin on the Senate floor:

Well, I don’t know. Maybe he was just high on his drugs again. I don’t know whether he was or not. If so, he ought to let us know. But that shouldn’t be an excuse.

CAMPAIGN 1992

Candidate Harkin Stretches the Truth
Vietnam isn't the only instance.

BY JAMES M. PERRY
Thursday, August 19, 2004 12:01 a.m.

(Editor's note: This news article appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Dec. 26, 1991.)
WASHINGTON--If running for president is a game of truth or consequences, then a lot of Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin's critics would like to see him face the consequences.

Already in the presidential campaign, the Iowa lawmaker has found himself accused of misleading reporters ....snip...... And allegations about Mr. Harkin's truthfulness extend back well before the current campaign, back to his claims that he was a combat pilot in Vietnam.

Republicans complain the loudest. "What galls me most is that Tom Harkin has absolutely no problem in saying something that's not true, and with a straight face," says Tom Synhorst, a political consultant who managed Republican Tom Tauke's losing campaign against Mr. Harkin in 1990.

Mr. Harkin denies he has a habit of stretching the truth. He emphasizes that he has always thought of himself as a "straight shooter," and says he never intended to mislead. In the future, he says, he probably will tell the story about his brother's job experiences more carefully. He stands behind his budget figures. .......snip.......
In Mr. Harkin's case, the questions that have lingered longest concern his Navy record. Mr. Harkin did serve in the Navy during the Vietnam era, but exactly what he did, and for how long, remain a matter of some dispute.
"After I got out of college," he says in his standard stump speech, "I spent eight years, eight months and eight days as a Navy pilot." His military record, though, shows he served five years on active duty, from Nov. 21, 1962, until Nov. 30, 1967. The senator arrives at the eight-year figure by adding on three years in the ready reserve. Mr. Harkin's military record, acquired by The Wall Street Journal through a Freedom of Information request, shows he remained active in the reserves, ready or not, until Oct. 1, 1989, retiring with the rank of commander.

"I'm right," Mr. Harkin says. "I was a Navy flyer for eight years, eight months and eight days. I have a certificate to prove it."

What he did while on active duty is even more confusing. In 1979, Mr. Harkin, then a congressman, participated in a round-table discussion arranged by the Congressional Vietnam Veterans' Caucus. "I spent five years as a Navy pilot, starting in November of 1962," Mr. Harkin said at that meeting, in words that were later quoted in a book, Changing of the Guard, by Washington Post political writer David Broder. "One year was in Vietnam. I was flying F-4s and F-8s on combat air patrols and photo-reconnaissance support missions. I did no bombing."

That clearly is not an accurate picture of his Navy service. Though Mr. Harkin stresses he is proud of his Navy record--"I put my ass on the line day after day"--he concedes now he never flew combat air patrols in Vietnam.

He was stationed at the U.S. Naval Air Station at Atsugi, Japan. Damaged aircraft were flown into Atsugi for repairs or sometimes flown out of Atsugi to the Philippines for more substantial work. Mr. Harkin says he and three other Navy pilots flew these ferry flights. And, when the planes had been repaired, he and his fellow pilots took them up on test flights. "I had always wanted to be a test pilot," he says. "It was damned demanding work."





How much time did he actually spend in Vietnam? "I wouldn't really know," he says. He estimates that over a period of about 12 months he flew in and out of Vietnam "a dozen times, maybe 10 times."
But what about those combat air patrols and the photo-reconnaissance support missions? He says he did fly combat air patrols, in Cuba, in 1965 and 1966. He was stationed at Guantanamo Bay, the U.S. base, "and we were on frigging alert for 18 months, the whole time I was there." He would take off whenever a U-2 American spy plane flew by, in case Cuban dictator Fidel Castro scrambled his fighters to intercept it. And he says he flew photo-reconnaissance missions too, out of Andrews Air Force Base, near Washington, D.C., while he was serving in the ready reserve.

In explaining his Vietnam experience at that congressional round-table in 1979, Sen. Harkin says that in retrospect "maybe I didn't say it right."

The round-table wasn't the only time he talked about extensive Vietnam service. In April of 1981, Mr. Harkin told Harold E. Roberts, publisher of the Creston, Iowa, News Advertiser, that in Japan he was assigned to a squadron where "we flew many missions to Vietnam and the Philippines." And in a short April 1, 1980, statement in the Congressional Record attacking the Veterans Administration for the way it was handling claims related to the herbicide Agent Orange, Mr. Harkin said that "as a Vietnam veteran in Congress, I feel particularly responsible for seeing that this issue continues to command our attention." Mr. Harkin says he always refers to himself as a "Vietnam-era veteran," and thinks the statement in the Congressional Record might be a misprint.

Mr. Harkin's Navy record shows his only decoration is the National Defense Service Medal, awarded to everyone on active service during those years. He did not receive either the Vietnam Service medal or the Vietnam Campaign medal, the decorations given to everyone who served in the Southeast Asia theater. "We didn't get them for what we did," Mr. Harkin says. "It's never bothered me." ....”
