Think Progress, October 1, 2007
Today, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) gave a speech on the Senate floor condemning Rush Limbaugh for calling troops who support American withdrawal from Iraq “phony soldiers.” He urged his colleagues – both Democratic and Republican – to sign a letter of disapproval to the CEO of Clear Channel.
Instead, Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) – who voted to criticize MoveOn.org – has decided to commend Limbaugh. Today at 3:16 PM, Kingston introduced a resolution “[c]ommending Rush Hudson Limbaugh III for his ongoing public support of American troops serving both here and abroad.”
From the resolution:
Whereas Mr. Limbaugh”s commitment to American troops serving both here and abroad remains as strong as ever: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives-
(1) recognizes Rush Hudson Limbaugh III for his support of the Marine Corp Law Enforcement Foundation and for providing free subscriptions for active-duty servicemembers;
(2) recognizes Mr Limbaugh”s desire to see American troops achieve a successful outcome in Iraq, Afghanistan and wherever soldiers are stationed; and
(3) commends Mr. Limbaugh”s tireless public support for American troops and their families through radio broadcasts, fundraising and other public support.
Its unpatriotic to disrespect the troops
if you are a liberal.
The Shut the Fuck Up (STFU) war marches on.
Its unpatriotic to disrespect the troops
in the war for STFU if you are a liberal.
