President Bush went on a secret trip to Iraq as a farewell tour and he was attacked while there. A reporter from one of those backwards countries there called Bush a dog and threw his shoes at the president. Bush ducked the first shoe and the second sailed past his head. The president waved off a Secret Service agent who was moving in to remove the president.

The soles of shoes are the nastiest of insults in that part of the world. The shoes were intended to be the nastiest of insults but only demonstrated that the guy throwing them is a sissy who could not hit a target from 12 feet away. Probably explains why they prefer bomb vests.

There were a few comments from the left wing moonbats indicating that it was too bad the guy missed, he should have thrown an IED, and he should have put a hand grenade in the shoe. There is no restraint when it comes to the hatred of the left toward George Bush. Perhpas the left sides with the reporter because they too are a bunch of sissies who could not hit anything.

Now I know that if this had happened to Barack Obama there would be similar comments from the fringe of the right. There are fanatics on both sides (though the fanaticism of the left seems to run across the entire spectrum) but the reaction would be much different in this case.

The left would read similar comments about their messiah and they would start whining about how mean the right is and how all they think about is killing people. Terry Bisson, the science fiction writer who goes by Thinking Meat, is always ready to point out how un-Christian like any right winger who talks about killing is. Discuss killing someone who desperately needs it and Bisson is immediately there to discuss how deranged the right is. He is not alone as many of the loons on the left do the same thing.

But where are these paragons of virtue in this instance? Have any of them called the moonbats who wished the attack had been more lethal any of the names they love to spew at the right?

Of course not. They have different sets of rules for the wackos on their side.

While I believe there are many people in this world that should be removed from it in short order (like people on death row and terrorists) I would never want to see the president of my country harmed regardless of which party he represents.

It was interesting to see the video. The president has pretty good reflexes.

Too bad this did not happen to Hillary. Then she would be telling the truth when she said she came under fire. Well, at least more of a truth than what she told in the past.

Iranian parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said that Iran would prefer to see Barack Obama win the US presidential election. The statement indicates that Obama is considered more rational and flexible than John McCain. This is coming from the nation that also desires to wipe Israel off the map. It is no coincidence that Iran wants a flexible president so that the country can manipulate him and take advantage in order to attack Israel.

This endorsement comes at a time when Iran is working on plans for a preemptive strike against Israel and God’s chosen people. Iran is not likely to be foolish enough to attack while George Bush is still in office because that country knows Bush will not play games nor will he negotiate without precondition. If Iran attacks, Bush will retaliate and the blow would be devastating.

Iran will wait until the election is over and if their chosen one is elected they will attack Israel after the inauguration. Iran knows that Obama is not a big supporter of Israel and that Joe Biden has said that Israel should get use to a nuclear Iran. Couple this with Jesse Jackson’s statements that support for Israel will decrease in an Obama administration and it is no wonder that Iran is licking its chops at the thought of a rookie at the helm.

This just might be the crisis Biden was talking about.

On another note, Al Qaida said that it wanted John McCain to win so that the continuation of Bush’s policies would drive our economy to even greater depths. This is a veiled endorsement of Obama. Al-Qaida knows that if it endorsed Obama he would lose so they say they want McCain to drive Americans to Obama.

Al Qaida knows that Obama would be a push over compared to McCain and, like its pals in Iran, wants the candidate that it can manipulate. They want the rookie so they can continue to work on America’s demise.

American Jews need to pay special attention to what is going on. A vote for Obama is a vote for appeasement and complacency which will certainly be of dire consequence to Israel.

Every time there is a major event and the threat level increases the Democrats claim that it is fear mongering. The Democrats make these claims because they know that America views them, and rightly so, as weak on national security. The believe that Republicans trump up threats in order to scare up votes.

Obama recently had the opportunity to show how he would handle the, dare I say it, 3 am call when Russia invaded Georgia. He gave three different responses form his Hawaiian vacation spot and each one was progressively sterner. He blew his chance to look like he had a clue and it is likely his poor performance led to his selection of Joe Biden as a running mate.

Now the Russian president is claiming that American missiles placed in ally countries close to Russia will elicit a military response. Russia is saying it will respond to us with military force because it does not like what we are doing in sovereign nations (with their blessings). The countries agreeing to missiles had been on the fence about them until Russia invaded Georgia. Then they decided they needed protection though the missiles will be there to deter threats from nations other than Russia (but could be used if Russia invades).

Russia is playing a dangerous game. They should think twice before they attack our interests or they might not like the response. The Russian president does not want a Tomahawk missile hitting his house.

Anyway, how long will it be before the Democrats claim that Bush and McCain manufactured the events in Georgia in order to scare Americans? How long will it be before they claim that the Russians are helping us by showing how weak Democrats are on defense? They have claimed crazier things.

Maybe if we are lucky we can get Obama to cut short his convention and go over to Russia and scream Hope and Change until they convert.

Nancy Pelosi, the worst Speaker in the history of Congress, has evidently decided she did not like being called such by me and millions of other people who see her for the ineffective moron that she is.

Pelosi struck back in order to deflect from the low approval ratings she and her Congressional minions have posted and called George Bush a complete failure. The news reporting this claims that it is a departure from her usual attacks which take place in private but that is a bunch of bunk. She has been attacking the president for a long time and now she has stepped up those attacks:

“You know, God bless him, bless his heart, president of the United States, a total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject,” Pelosi replied. She then tsk-tsked Bush for “challenging Congress when we are trying to sweep up after his mess over and over and over again.” My Way News

The economy is slow and has the potential to collapse but we have had a great economy for seven years since Bush took over the Clinton recession and dealt with 9/11. Unemployment is low and though volatile, the stock market is hanging in there. Nancy and her Democrats are responsible for the down turn because it all took place while they were the majority. If they blame everything from the past on the majority Republican Congress it is only fair to return the favor. Nancy told us she had a plan for gas prices. They went from $2.19 to over $4.00 on her watch. She and her moonbat buddies are refusing to allow us to drill in the places where we know there is oil. There are platforms off the California coast over known deposits but they remain idle because of Congress. The Democrats have opposed any effort to help the energy problems so Nancy should keep her yap shut. Let’s not forget that Democratic policies are partly responsible for the housing problems. Give everyone a loan or you are discriminating.

The war is going a lot better and despite the best efforts of the Democrats to lose it, we are winning. The surge is working and we will soon employ those tactics in Afghanistan and squash the resistance.

As for them having to sweep up after the mess? The only mess left behind by a president was the stains Bill Clinton left behind. This Congress is the true do nothing Congress. They have not passed any of the budgetary items and will likely use continuing resolutions until after the election because they believe they will have Barack Obama as president and he will rubber stamp their wasteful bills.

Pelosi has been an absolute disgrace as Speaker and she lacks leadership skills. I doubt she could lead a group of people out of a burning building. When you watch her and the rest of the Democrats it looks like the blind leading the blind. It is truly amazing to see them in action. If Pelosi had any brains she would actually be dangerous.

Has this president made mistakes? Sure he has and there are some things that I disagree with him on but I know we have not been attacked since 9/11 and that attack was the result of Clinton’s weakness. How many attacks on US interests took place on his watch? We had 9/11 and the response made some people think twice about screwing with us.

The reality is that Nancy Pelosi is an idiot. She either has no brain or the Botox was injected too far and paralyzed what few brain cells she has. Either way, she is a disgrace and needs to be replaced by a button that does absolutely nothing more efficiently.

At 3:45 this morning a bomb went off at a Times Square recruiting office shattering the glass front with an impact that was felt in surrounding buildings. No one was injured in the blast and police are looking into reports of a person on a bike who might have delivered the explosive.

Those who join the military expect that at one time or another they will be put in harm’s way, especially during this period in our history. It is part of the job and most accept it willingly despite what the idiots at Code pinko would have people believe. What our military does not expect is for this kind of violence to be perpetrated on our own soil, the very soil members of the military swear to protect with their lives.

Sure, there are protests against the military conducted by people who live under the very blanket of freedom provided by those protested, and those protests, while despicable, are a reaffirmation of the concept that our military protects our rights. Without the United States military, and those who have paid the ultimate price, protesters would suffer fates similar to those in China and other countries where public dissent is squashed by military forces acting on behalf of the government. The fact that our military protects protesters while military forces in other countries kill them is a testament to the concept of freedom our founders so brilliantly designed. These freedoms exist even if idiots like those in Berkeley California are too self absorbed to see them.

The bomb in Times Square elevates the resistance to our military to a new level. Certainly, this could have been an act of terror but I dismiss this idea because a terrorist would have wanted a detonation when people were around so as to maximize death and destruction. The person who did this in the early morning hours is a coward who was making some sort of statement. The bomber chose this particular time because he lacked the testicular fortitude to confront the recruiters with his violence, and act that would have allowed them to dispatch him in short order.

We live in a free country because our freedoms are protected by a class of people who are a cut above the average citizen. Our military is not out enforcing law or imposing the will of the government upon the people. It is protecting us so that we may live as we wish, within the confines of our laws and customs. This bombing shows that some people cannot live within the confines of our laws and must use illegal means to make a statement. It also has the potential to incite others to step up their attacks from nonviolent protest to something quite dangerous. How long will it be before the recruiting office in Berkeley is targeted by a “peaceful” protester?

Was this is an act of war perpetrated by a person or persons intent on disrupting the operation of our military and its mission or was it an act of violence that will not escalate or be mimicked? If it was the latter then the police need to catch the criminal and he needs to be sent to prison for a long time. If it is the former and war is being declared on our military by a cowardly force intent on disruption than they should be aware that our military specializes in war and the violent destruction of those intent on causing harm. If it is war they want, just say the word and we will give them more than they can handle.

The dope smoking, long haired, hippies were able to mistreat our military back during and after the Vietnam War. We will not allow this to happen again. No matter who the attacker is, aged hippie or the misguided youth, we will not allow them to attack with impunity.

Not on my watch.

A man walked into a supermarket in Jeddah Saudi Arabia, picked up a 15 month old child and cut the boy’s head off with a knife. Shoppers watched in horror as the man raised the boy and hacked through his throat until his head came off. The man who did this was Syrian and he was the boy’s uncle. He did it because he had some dispute with his sister and her husband.

People were horrified and some fainted while others had to go to the hospital for treatment of shock. This happened in Saudi Arabia and the attacker was Syrian so is there any question as to the religion of the man involved? Only people of the religion of peace go around and lop off the heads of their relatives because of a dispute. Only a coward kills a defenseless child and this coward was no doubt a follower of the child molester Mohammad.

“No one could bear the gruesome sight of the boy’s decapitated body lying on the floor,” said Muneer, a Turkish car mechanic, who works at a garage close by. “How could someone do such a thing? I just can’t understand it… I still can’t believe it,” he said, shaking his head. Arab News

This is a low life thing to do and yet these people bring about this kind of behavior. They find it acceptable for adherents to their prophet to cut the heads off people who have committed the crime of being Jewish. These are the same kind of people who cheer as blood thirsty savages hold up the severed heads of contractors captured in Iraq. These are the people who cheer when contractors are burned to death and hung from a bridge and who cheer when American soldiers are disemboweled and butchered.

I think this is a horrible crime and that the man should be put to death but I blame his religion and his society for devaluing human life to such an extent that people kill their own relatives because of a dispute. How many of the horrified shoppers never bat an eyelid when some fanatic sets off a bomb that kills children in Iraq? How many of these idiots feel that it is perfectly OK to be martyred for the cause of Mohammad?

That little boy did nothing wrong and the coward who killed him should suffer the most painful death available. However, there will continue to be these kinds of killings until such time as the radicals who espouse killing for Islam are found and eliminated.

The mother of this boy and the shoppers at the store now know how Daniel Pearl’s family and our nation (and the balance of the civilized world for that matter) felt when radicals sawed his head off. Until they fight back against this kind of brutality, nothing will change.

God have mercy on the soul of this child and may his attacker rot in hell.

Big Dog salute to Sonnabend

B. Hussein Obama has been on the defensive since former President bill Clinton came out attacking him. Obama has been forced to defend himself against half truths often conjured up at the last minute in order to sway primary elections. The Wall Street journal indicates that Obama is getting an education in Clinton. The WSJ relates:

One of our favorite Bill Clinton anecdotes involves a confrontation he had with Bob Dole in the Oval Office after the 1996 election. Mr. Dole protested Mr. Clinton’s attack ads claiming the Republican wanted to harm Medicare, but the President merely smiled that Bubba grin and said, “You gotta do what you gotta do.” WSJ

Obama is learning the hard way that the Clintons do what they “gotta” do regardless of what it is because to them, winning is everything. Right now Obama is facing a fierce Bill Clinton who is doing what he has to do in order to distort a record and smear a fellow Democrat. Those of us on the right like to see the fighting among Democrats but are also reminded of the terror reigned on this country during the eight years Clinton was president. For Democrats, it is indeed a sad day when John Edwards appears most presidential, or as he put it, the only adult present at the debate.

It is time for Obama to do what he has to do. He has indicated he will strike back at Bill Clinton but that might not be a good strategy. Clinton is well liked among the party faithful and attacking him will continue to take the focus off the weaknesses of Hillary. Obama can attack Bill through Hillary and take the lead in addressing issues that were neglected during the Bill Clinton presidency.

Obama can make a good case when he tells the people that the Clinton co-presidents had eight years and failed to accomplish those things she vows to take care of now. Obama can tell people that the Clintons had eight years to fix Social Security and they neglected it even though Bill stated that it was broken and needed to be fixed. I believe he even thought private accounts was a good idea.

Obama can make the case that the Clintons had eight years to get health care for everyone (an item Hillary failed miserably on), eight years to make sure Medicare was efficient and provided for the elderly, and eight years to develop and implement an energy plan that reduced our dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels. Eight years to do all these things and they failed to accomplish them.

When Bill Clinton was running the first time he told us all that you get two for the price of one and Hillary told us it was a co-presidency. During this campaign Hillary has taken credit for the good things that happened back then. If she takes credit for the successes it is reasonable to attribute the failures to her as well. Obama can go on the offensive and strike H. Rodham Clinton on the very issues that she says she will fix and at the same time take shots at her husband without directly confronting him. This will tell the voters that the Clintons had their eight years and failed to get it right and it is unlikely that giving them more time will change this.

Obama has had a campaign of change, a mantra adopted by Hillary as well as some of the Republicans running for office. If Obama is convinced he is the candidate of change he needs to point out the failures of the Clinton co-presidency and make sure the failures are attributed to Hillary. If this does nothing more than cause the Clintons to go on the defensive it will have been worth it. The more the Clintons are forced to defend their record the less time they have to manufacture half truths about Obama.

It is win-win for Obama because if Hillary fights the charges and says that she was not the president it will allow him to point out that she cannot take credit for anything that happened then and will negate her experience claim. If she defends the co-presidency she will be drawing more attention to those failures leaving less time for them to attack.

It is time for B. Hussein Obama to take off the gloves and start hitting hard. It is time for him to strike blows where it will hurt and that is the ever changing Clinton legacy. Blame her for the failures and make her defend why she did not get those things done back then. make her explain how she will do it now when she could not do it then. Make Bill defend their record rather than attacking his.

Obama can get dirty without attacking Bill directly and causing a rift among the Democratic base by attacking the record and attributing it to her. He will come out ahead if he takes this approach.

It is time for Obama to show he is a quick study and has gotten a quick education in Clinton politics of personal destruction. otherwise, he will have to repeat the class in four years.

A Boston firefighter , who went out for takeout food, was attacked by a group of Hispanic males and stabbed twice in his chest. The firefighter, whose name was not released, went to a take out restaurant when a group of Hispanics started harassing him. He tried to avoid confrontation by telling them he only wanted a sandwich. There response was “we don’t want any gringo here.”

The firefighter, trying to avoid confrontation, got in his car and left but the men followed him. He went tot he local fire station (the one he works at) and they jumped him when he got out of his car. He was stabbed twice in the chest and was saved when he rang the bell to the station causing the men to flee. Fortunately, his fellow workers were not on a call and were able to render aid.

The kicker is, the police are not classifying this as a hate crime. The firefighter is white and the attackers Hispanic but somehow this does not fit the definition of a hate crime. Those who read this blog know how I feel about the stupidity of having a “hate” crime but if we have them the laws should apply equally.

Imagine if the victim had been Hispanic or black and had been attacked and stabbed by a group of white men. CASA, the NAACP and the race baiters would be out in full force and the police would not think twice about classifying it as a hate crime. However, since the victim is white they refuse to use that classification.

I would not be surprised to find out that the Hispanic thugs are here ILLEGALLY. Of course, if they are they would be the kind of people sanctuary laws protect so they will report crimes. Hell, if they ever get caught the governor will probably give them driver’s licenses.

I am not holding my breath waiting for them to report their own crimes.

I wonder what the response time for the fire department will be the next time a structure in the Hispanic part of town catches fire?

There is an Internet report that Liberal Radio Show Host Randi Rhodes of Err Amerika was assaulted and badly beaten while walking her dog near her New York apartment. Rhodes lost several teeth and will be out of work for at least a week. Let me start by saying that I pray she heals and that they catch the scum who did this.

I do want to address the idiots on the left who are, without evidence, accusing the “right wing hate machine” of trying to threaten and intimidate Liberal talk out of fear. Liberal talk accounts for about 10% of the programming on talk radio and Rush Limbaugh has a larger audience than all of Err Amerika’s staff combined. Of course, I do not know who did this or what the motivation was but I am willing to bet that it was not some Conservative looking to attack her. However, I will wait to see who they catch and what they say before I comment on the attacker. Let it suffice to say that, it is more likely that she was the victim of a random act of violence than a deliberate attack. It might have even been one of the poor drug abusers or violent criminals that Liberals like Rhodes want rehabilitated and released from jail.

Of course, in New York people are not allowed to carry guns unless they are police or body guards for important people. However, I will state this right up front so there will be no mistake abut it, open carry permits would not have helped Rhodes. She is a Liberal and does not believe in gun ownership (though many libs want to take that right from us while retaining it for themselves, like Dianne Feinstein). I cannot help but wonder if she will have a change of heart about being able to defend oneself when threatened. If Rhodes had a firearm, perhaps she would not have been beaten. Maybe now she will actually support the Second Amendment rather than oppose it and the unconstitutional assault on it and our citizens.

Regardless of all that though, the idiot who filled in for her was way off base blaming the right for this attack. This is not like saying that the crime of defacing the Vietnam Memorial was probably a liberal because a conservative would most likely not do this kind of thing. This attack on the right is not based in any rational thought. New York is full of criminals and an overwhelming number of the prison population (people who eventually get released) are Democrats. Conservatives are not usually involved in violent crimes. Of course there are some extremists in any group but by and large violent criminals are likely to be liberal and registered (if at all) as Democrat. I am not going to say what ideology the attacker had because I do not know though I know what it is most likely to be. This could prove wrong but we will only find out if and when the attacker is caught. This premature condemnation of the right only shows how ignorant and intolerant the left really is. Besides, we already kick their asses on the air, why physically harm them?

I also wonder if people who make a big deal about blaming Liberals for defacing monuments will go to these Liberal sites and admonish them for making accusations without evidence.

It is amazing that the comments from some on the left point to a right wing attack (though some sane people said that they needed to wait to get details).

Those very liberals were saying that they should cruise to the Free Republic to see if anyone is bragging so I went to see. There are more comments wishing here well and hoping that the attackers are caught than anything else.

To their credit, the folks commenting at Kos (from what I have read) are saying it looks like a random crime and they are not jumping on the right wing attack meme, as of yet. There are a few trying to infuse it, but most are not.

I am still having a problem with this not being reported in all the news outlets. It seems to be confined to a few websites and on the show of the loser who filled in for her. Did she really get attacked (and if so, why no news), Is this a publicity stunt? Did she have an abortion that got botched and she needs to be home a few days and the mugging sounded like a better excuse?

I just don’t know. If she was truly attacked then I pray she is OK. If not, just what is going on?

UPDATE: ooooh snap, it appears as if Randi Rhodes fell down while walking her dog and that is how she was injured. She does not know how it happened (maybe her brain had a bit of chemical alteration) but one thing is clear, if she was not mugged she was not mugged by a conservative right wing hate monger. I wonder how many apologies we will see from the ding dongs on the left. I knew that something was fishy when it was not all over the news. Seems the police heard all this stuff and called to find out why she had not reported it. That is when the truth came out from her lawyer. I wonder why Rhodes did not squash this when it first started?? New York Daily News

Part of the problem with conservative talk radio is that it is popular and a lot of people listen to it. That is a problem if you are a liberal who wants to hide the truth from the public because conservative talk radio is there to pounce on the liberals when they are offensive to America, and that is just about all the time. Liberals hate conservative talk because they do not have their own following with regard to liberal talk radio. Very few liberal hosts exist and those that do have a fraction of the audience of someone like Rush Limbaugh.

Last week Rush was discussing the troops and when a caller said something about parading the troops against the war Rush mentioned phony soldiers. He then proceeded to discuss what he meant by referring to Jesse MacBeth, a person who did not make it through basic training but claimed to be a war vet. There are others but this is the one Limbaugh was referring to and anyone with a brain completely understood what he was talking about, and therein lies the problem. Liberals do not have a brain.

The Liberals jumped on Rush’s comments but took them completely out of context and ignored the fact that he was referring to a phony soldier. This is the “soldier” that ABC did a piece on and it is a fact that the guy is a phony. The liberals and their puppet masters at MoveOn.org (I will not link to them) took a stinging backlash for the smear job done to General Petraeus and this is their chance to try and make things even. It is also part of their plot to silence the conservative hosts before the next election because the voice of talk radio exposes the liberals and this does not bode well for their plans.

Today, Harry Reid introduced a letter he wrote to the president of Clear Channel Communications demanding that Limbaugh apologize for his remarks about the troops. Reid displayed feigned indignation at Limbaugh’s remarks even though Reid would have to know by now that the remarks are not what he is making them to be. It is especially disturbing that Reid would be the one to introduce the letter. Reid has done nothing but bash our troops and he declared the war as lost. He has never supported the troops and this stunt is nothing more than an attempt to turn the tide of negativity that the Democrats have faced and that intensified with the MoveOn ad. Democrats know that they cannot win an intellectual battle and that their ideas are bad for America so they must attack anyone who stands in their way and who has become a thorn in their sides. Rush Limbaugh is a thorn the size of a railroad spike and he has pierced the hearts of many liberals by exposing them for the anti-American idiots that they are. This is nothing more than a smear campaign designed to silence a very vocal critic. It will not work.

Rush issued an apology today but it is not what Reid would like:

I want to apologize to all of the members of the United States Military, both in uniform and out, active duty and retired, for Media Matters for America. They will not apologize to you, and they will not apologize to me. I want to apologize to you on behalf of them. As all of you military personnel know, I, since of beginning of time and since the beginning of this program, certainly 19 years ago, have been one of the most ardent, loyal, in-awe supporters of any and all who wear the uniform — including those who disagree with the mission. Rush Limbaugh

Rush Limbaugh is respected by the military and most in uniform appreciate all that he has done for the troops. He raises millions of dollars and he gives free subscriptions to them. He is always praising them and he has been a supporter for as long as I can remember. I happened across my first Limbaugh program sometime in the 80s and he was discussing a visit he had with some troops. He was discussing how hot it was and how he was sweating but the Sergeant Major with whom he was speaking had not broken a sweat, despite the temperature. Rush had nothing but praise for the men and women with whom he spoke and who he watched in training. That day, I became a Rush Limbaugh fan and people like Harry Reid will not be able to convince me that I am wrong about this man.

The Democrats have started this and it will backfire. Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa took the floor and said that maybe Rush was high on drugs again, referring to Limbaugh’s past battle with pain medicine addiction. Have we ever heard Harkin say that Kennedy is probably drunk again when ole Teddy babbles on incoherently? No and we will not because the Democrats ignore their behavior and attack those with whom they disagree. Explain to me why it is that a guy like Patrick Kennedy can have a problem and seek treatment and he is a hell of a guy but Limbaugh seeks, and successfully completes, treatment and he is always referred to as being on drugs? It is a personal attack and it is low and someone should punch Harkin right in his mouth. I have no use for Harkin or Reid or any other Democrat and if anyone should be apologizing it is these twits. Reid is a festering pustule on the butt of America and he suffers brain damage from his stroke. It killed one of the two cells he actually has. Harkin is a pantie waisted twit who could not lead a group of people out of a burning building. Together these two do not have enough manhood to stand up for what they have to say and what they believe. Rush challenged them to quit hiding behind the speech and debate clause and the Senate microphones and to come on his show where they can have it out man to, well, twit. I am willing to bet that neither of these twits will accept that offer because they do not have the guts to back up what they say. They do not have the testicular fortitude to be men and stand by their words. They will run and hide like cockroaches suddenly caught in a light.

I stand by Limbaugh and what he said. As a 24 year veteran of the Army I do not have a problem with what he said about phony soldiers and I do not need any damned Democrat to act as if he speaks for me. Reid showed me what kind of a coward he is and I would not spend one moment fighting next to him. I would tie him up and give him to the enemy though I would be arrested for violating some law about torture. The liberals have their panties in a wad and want Limbaugh pulled from Armed Forces Radio. Why don’t we let the troops decide who they would like to listen to?

Reid said that he hoped that Republicans would sign his letter. I demand that they do not. I demand that they have some principles and censure Reid for his stupidity. I demand that this House Resolution be what Republicans sign on to.

Rush Limbaugh exposes the left for the intolerant idiots they are.

Interestingly, a commenter named Lefty at Think Progress wrote (with regard to this fuss):

I think I’m going to go around town b!tchslapping any Republican I see and call it “enchanced [sic] manhood challenges”.

Lefty, please pick me to be your first subject. You might reach over with your full arm but you will certainly draw back a bloody nub. If you would like to see manhood, slap some of the Republicans I know. There will not be enough of you left to get a DNA identification. If you want to discuss manhood, perhaps you could contact Harkin or Reid and ask them why they do not go on Rush’s show. Lefty is a liberal idiot who would get beat up shadow boxing.

Folks, this is an all out smear campaign. Murtha did it to the Marines and Reid and his maggots are doing it to Limbaugh. Let us all call Harry Reid (202-224-3542) and Tom Harkin (202-224-3254) and let them know what we think.

Harry Reid, keep this in mind you little snot rag. Rush Limbaugh has the number one syndicated show in the country. Congress has an 11% approval rating. No matter how bad you might think Rush is, you are much, much worse and I am willing to bet more people believe and trust what he has to say than do you…
