re: #242 Fenway_Nation

It was awhile ago, but I think he was calling Iraq Vets Against the War ‘phony soldiers’ ahead of their Winter Soldier 2.0 meetup….and seeing how people like MacBeth and Duncan gravitated towards IVAW, that’s not entirely false….

In the whole manufactured outrage over the ‘phony soldiers’ statement, it was lost (by design, courtesey of our quisling media) that there were people talking about taking part in committing massacres in Iraq who had never even set foot in a recruiter’s office, let alone Iraq!

I hate to tell you this, but I did just dig up the context of Limbaugh’s comments and the transcript— and that’s not what was going on. (It didn’t have anything to do with committing massacres in Iraq.)

Someone called in, and asked Rush “Why is it that you always just accuse the Democrats of being against the war and suggest that there are absolutely no Republicans that could possibly be against the war? “

In the ensuing melee, the caller said he was a Republican who had served in the military, and Rush refused to believe him.

Then he took another call, from someone else, who said he was in the military—and with that caller Rush had the exchange about ‘phony soldiers’.

If one just reads the transcript of his remarks to caller 2, they don’t sound that bad….but the full context looks bad.

I can link to the full transcript and audio, but it is on media matters, I warn you. :)
