Limbaugh specifically said Rep. Murtha is one of the “phony soldiers.”Link please, lets hear it.
I don’t see how anyone can spend 4 minutes listening to this polarizing bluster and bs.

Also, he calls Paul Hackett, who served in the First Marine Division in Fallujah and Ramadi, a “staff puke” who went to Iraq to “pad his resume.”
Typical “smear-the-proponent-of-some-fact-you-don’t like” tactic that has worked well in the past. If you define the term “patriot” as one who gives unwavering fealty to whomever is in charge, then anyone who criticizes the decider’s policy is automatically a traitor. That is the a wedge tactic that fortunately only gets any traction on blowhard talk-radio and partisan message boards like this one.
If soldiers who actually served come home with their own opinions that differ from the ones that the administration would like all soldiers to have are “phony soldiers,” then what does that make Rush Limbaugh?
