And the Limbaugh controversy continues on, and the thing I don’t get is why they are denying he called them phony soldiers. The transcript shows that he pretty clearly didn’t refer to Jesse MacBeth until way late in the conversation, although that in and of itself is meaningless when you consider that those on the right have been questioning the patriotism of EVERYONE for years.
They do it with everyone. Murtha- traitor, Kerry-traitor, Durbin-traitor, Pelosi-traitor, and so on and so forth. Hell, any time I take a position that goes against the Republican talking points, I will have some jackass in the comments tell me I was a shitty soldier (like this clown at Neptunus Lex) and questioning my patriotism.
So back to my point- why the outrage on the right about the attacks on Limbaugh? Why defend him? Isn’t calling people a traitor and questioning their patriotism the new standard for discourse? And aren’t the Democrats just doing what you all perfected?
