That transcript is misleading in the context of the entire show.....and the preceding call. Sorry. Rush is being smeared by that scumbag Reid and Hillary's Media Matters hitmen. End of story. ________________ No, its not that easy. Here are followup comments from Old Rush in which he calls Murtha a "Phoney Soldier". Now, people can certainly disagree with Murtha on a thousand issues. They may think he is dishonest....but he is NOT a phony soldier! The man served our Country in uniform and was decorated for that service...so don't be so quick to let Rush off the hook...the term Phony Solider is wrong and despicable when used against anyone who actually wore the uniform...including George W. Bush! Now, Rush said this, period. no context issues, no questions...and its wrong. ______________________ Limbaugh expanded the group of "phony soldiers" to include Vietnam veteran Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA) and Pvt. Scott Thomas Beauchamp, who is currently serving in Iraq. In asserting that he was originally "talking about a genuine phony soldier," Limbaugh went on to state: "And by the way, Jesse MacBeth's not the only one. How about this guy Scott Thomas who was writing fraudulent, phony things in The New Republic about atrocities he saw that never happened? How about Jack Murtha blanketly accepting the notion that Marines at Haditha engaged in wanton murder of innocent children and civilians?" According to Murtha's biography on his congressional website, Murtha joined the Marines in 1952 and volunteered for service in Vietnam, where he was awarded the Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts. mediamatters.org
