Context is for when our guys say stupid things.

Beauchamp FTW!
This, in defense of Rush Limbaugh and the Iraq war… Irony died, in an undisclosed location, an indeterminate amount of time ago…
Zifnab
Bill O’Reily isn’t racist. He’s observant.
Rush Limbaugh isn’t denigrating the troops, he is simply separating the wheat from the chaff.
George Bush doesn’t even know who Nelson Mandela is, so you’re taking his comment entirely the wrong way.
Hitler loved Jews. Anyone who says otherwise clearly just has a book to sell.
Jake
Yes, and I’m sure the writer tut-tutted the unseemly fuss made over Kerry’s joke.
And a family of four and their egos.
Dreggas
And let us not forget it’s ok for this
David Petraeus is a political general. Yet in presenting his recent assessment of the Iraq War and in describing the “way forward,” Petraeus demonstrated that he is a political general of the worst kind—one who indulges in the politics of accommodation that is Washington’s bread and butter but has thereby deferred a far more urgent political imperative, namely, bringing our military policies into harmony with our political purposes.
because it wasn’t a full page ad pointing out what a POS kiss-ass Petraeus is, oh and it was by a conservative.

Right now, somewhere, Ahmad Chalabi is laughing.
Wilfred
Whose son was killed in the War to Make the World Softer for Rush Limbaugh’s Fat Ass. I was waiting for Bacevich to start speaking out – let’s see Godlfarb smear him.
Bombadil
You want context? Here’s the context.
I don’t see how the context excuses or explains anything. Limbaugh is a pimple-assed peckerhead.
[And, yeah, the link is to a “gay, fascist website”, but it’s one of the few places that you can find the quote in its entirety.]
timb
Yeah, I used Goldfarb’s link to go to Rush’s official transcript, and besides sounding exactly like Birch Barlow did on the Simpsons, I didn’t notice any difference. Real soldiers support going to Iraq, phony ones don’t.
Goldfarb’s as big a clown as Limbaugh is.
Bombadil
Yeah, I should have said, “but it’s one of the few places that you can find the quote in its entirety without having to take a shower afterwards”.
BFR
It looks like he was insinuating that caller 1 was lying about his military background from the get-go. I liked the way Yglesias framed it:
“One wonders if he’s literally doubting the existence of such people, and thus proving himself to be an idiot, or metaphorically doubting their authenticity as soldiers, thus proving himself to be morally contemptible.”
In this case, it seems pretty clear that the truth is closer to the 1st than the 2nd.
Matt
“Limbaugh is big enough to defend himself” indeed.
Bombadil
In this case, it seems pretty clear that the truth is closer to the 1st than the 2nd.
I don’t see where they’re mutually exclusive.
BFR
Just saying if you read the transcript from the top, he’s pretty much denying the existence of anti-war soldiers, anti-war GOP etc.
“LIMBAUGH: Well, who are these Republicans? I can think of Chuck Hagel, and I can think of Gordon Smith, two Republican senators, but they don’t want to lose the war like the Democrats do. I can’t think of—who are the Republicans in the anti-war movement?”
“CALLER 1: See, I—I’ve used to be military, OK? And I am a Republican. ”
...
“LIMBAUGH: And I, by the way, used to walk on the moon!”
Bombadil
Oh, yeah, I can see that. I just didn’t think the “idiot” and “morally contemptible” parts were mutually exclusive.
Just saying…
Mike
Limbaugh’s not an idiot; he’s figured out what his audience wants to hear, and gives it them over and over.
And “morally contemptible” only applies to beings with a moral sense. Jackals aren’t morally contemptible; they’re just jackals.
Bombadil
May the gods make their faces to shine brightly on Charlie Pierce, and may his camels spit nothing but dates.
I weep for our nation.
Here.

I don’t know. Sounds about right to me.
I will concede that you have a point about the “morally contemptible” part, but I still think it holds as well.
Jake
But then he had to ease off the Oxy because the cops were on to him.

Pb
The Presidential candidate with the most donations from the troops: Barack Obama, better known to Rush Limbaugh as “Barack, the Magic Negro“. The Republican candidate with the most—Ron Paul, Mr. anti-war GOP. Why does Rush Limbaugh hate our troops?
RSA
No more accurate, but slightly truthier.
demimondian
No more accurate, either, but more believable.
Perry Como
Viagra presents, Real Wingnuts of Genius
[Real Wingnuts of Genius]
Today we salute you, Mr. No Real Soldiers Oppose the Iraq War
[Mr. No Real Soldiers Oppose the Iraq War]
Never has one man sacrificied so little for the ability to insult so many.
[Oww, my anal cysts!]
And just like you, I too would rather mock soldiers that have served honorably, than lose a political point.
[I’m walkin’ on the moon noooow!]
No Real Republican and No Real Solderies could possibly disagree with the Iraq war.
[No Real Scotsman either]
So crack open another baggie of Viagra and head on down to a country where the hookers’ ages are not much bigger than their shoe sizes.
[Giggidy, giggidy]
PK
I listened to the audio on media matters, and it is bizzare! He denies that a republican or a soldier can be against the war! The phoney soldier comment is getting the most attention, but the most shocking comment from Limbaugh is when he asks “what is in it for the United States if we pull out”? That question represents the moral depravity of the GOP. The real problem with the republicans is that people in control are rich and seem have absolutely no stake in the future of the country. George Bush and Cheney, are millionaires. Limbaugh Kristol, and the TV Pundits are not exactly middle class. Whatever happens in the future as a result of this war, if the country goes bankrupts, or there is no healthcare for ordinary people these guys and their children are never going to face the consequences!

Fuckin’ A through Q, that is brilliant.
fecapult
My brother swears that if you follow every Rush quote with “I am, in fact, sedated!”, his show suddenly starts making a lot more sense.
HH
When I want context, I go to Media Matters. Well-known truth-teller David Brock said it, I believe it, that settles it.
HH
“Yeah, I used Goldfarb’s link to go to Rush’s official transcript, and besides sounding exactly like Birch Barlow did on the Simpsons, I didn’t notice any difference.”
And if you follow this with, “I am, in fact, functionally illiterate,” it makes a lot more sense.
Officious Pedant
Hey, HH, I see you got the dictionary out before posting. That is so refreshing.
As to David Brooks, well, who cares about that dude? The key here, which you seem to have missed, is that I can read the entire excerpt, watch the video, or hear the audio. I don’t need Mr Brooks for the play by play, because I have the source material. That way, I can make up my own mind.
And let me just apologize for the uncivil tone…asshole.
Bombadil
Ah, but I didn’t even need to read what Brock said. I read what Limbaugh and O’Reilly said. I listened directly to the recordings, and read the transcripts (which matched the recordings). But we all know that facts have a notoriously liberal bias, right, HH?
