Media Matters - Limbaugh: Service members who support U.S. withdrawal are "phony soldiers" 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."

 

This from the man who DODGED HIS OWN SERVICE in Vietnam, because he had a boil on his ass. Once more, the extreme radical right calls those men and women who haev seen the horror of Iraq "phoney"

Not only can he not fathom that Republican would question the war,  he can’t even answer the man’s question:

 

CALLER 1: — seriously, how long do we have to stay there –

 

 

LIMBAUGH: As long as it takes!

 

 

CALLER 1: — to win it? How long?

 

 

LIMBAUGH: As long as it takes! It is very serious.

 

 

CALLER 1: And that is what?

 

 

LIMBAUGH: This is the United States of America at war with Islamofascists. We stay as long — just like your job. You do everything you have to do, whatever it takes to get it done, if you take it seriously.

 

 

CALLER 1: So then you say we need to stay there forever –

 

 

LIMBAUGH: I — it won’t —

 

 

CALLER 1: — because that’s what it’ll take..

 

Second Caller:

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 –

 

 They joined to defend America, not become pawns in a petty game of "gotcha"

A banner day for me. Today was the first time I was able to work continually for 4 1/2 hours before tiring to the point I needed to lie down. 4 years ago, I was at 20 minutes before the fatigue set in.

the fatigue will always be part of the equation, but it’s being held back. by sheer necessity….

Target on My Back - It’s 9/11 It’s 9/11. and the "birds are on fire." That’s the image a 5 year old held in his mind as he watched burning bodies fall.

The birds are on fire - a plane crashes in a field.

mas presto los palombas

come quickly my doves

mas presto ven con mi come quickly to me

mas presto mi neshama de libertad come quickly my soul of liberty

 

The birds are on fire and so is the sky

Souls rise up to Heaven -

there are no sinners. There is no sin

There is only the Love that God has for us all
