On the Senate floor yesterday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) condemned right-wing standard bearer Rush Limbaugh for his claim that service members who support withdrawal from Iraq are “phony soldiers,” saying that Limbuagh “owes the men and women of our Armed Forces an apology” for his comments that “went way over the line.”
But, what a surprise, instead of apologizing, Limbaugh attacked Reid, calling him a “nut” and saying that it is the senator who should apologize.
Clear Channel CEO Mark Mays responded to the Senate Democratic Leadership’s call for him to repudiate Rush Limbaugh’s “phony troops” remark. “While I certainly do not agree with all views that are voiced on our stations, I will not condemn our talent for exercising their right to voice them,” Mays wrote.
Tell that to Howard Stern you lying douche-nozzle.
Following Reid’s comments, Fox News began blanket, unbalanced coverage of the controversy that almost always offers Limbaugh’s spin. Beginning last night and continuing today, Fox overwhelming featured guests who supported Limbaugh.
Some examples from Rush’s defenders:
Bill O’Reilly: “In addition to me, Rush Limbaugh is a favorite target of these gutter snipes who distort hours of talk radio, hoping to create false controversies.”
Sean Hannity: “Phony battle and total mischaracterization of Rush Limbaugh’s comments.”
Brian Kilmeade: “The transcript backs [Rush] up.”
Ann Coulter: “Rush was absolutely right, what he was talking about.”
Rick Santorum: “There is no story here. It’s very clear what Rush said.”
The above "PHONY AMERICANS" have been spreading their sub par journalistic lies to the American public for years with the goal to sell books and increase their diminishing ratings.
These assclowns need to be held accountable for their idiot-speak.
