Wait a minute, wait a minute....Rush's original comment is well documented. The original transcript (and his edited transcript that he posted on his website) are both available. Rush's original comment was directed at more than one person. It was aimed at what he called the "phony soldiers", who he and his caller at the time believed were individuals who disagreed with the present mission in Iraq, and who claimed actual military experience. It was the use of phony soldiers to describe people who claimed to have personal involvement and disagreed with the current policy that raised the ruckus. Why Rush changed his transcript, I can't say. mediamatters.org./items/200709280009?f=h_top

Re: "And what "slur" did I repeat?" Not 'REAL soldiers'. Seems to have first appeared in a post by dave rose: Message 23926362 (Oh. Sorry. I see now that you didn't actually repeat that phrase of Dave's --- my apologies. You merely added a follow-on post that seemed to be an attempt at justifying the slur Rush used, where he called active duty soldiers [who's personal opinions might not coincide with his, I guess] "PHONY soldiers". (Or, are you trying to claim that the phrase Dave used [not "REAL soldiers"] is qualitatively different somehow from Limbaugh's exact phrasing? Which was, I believe, "PHONY soldiers"....?)
