Tax dollars are used to fund Armed Forces Radio, and that money is not intended for radio show hosts to spout insults at our soldiers. These "phony soldiers" have simply exercised their right to free speech, as Rush Limbaugh does on a daily basis. Simply

We have people in jail for ''Sexual harassment'' and for ''Stalking'' .
( NewYork Nicks fined MILLIONS for ''Love Speech''. )
I call Rush Limbaugh, ''a patriot to a liar and a murderer''.
In Iraq, his hate speech endangers the lives of our finest soldiers.
I will not pay taxes to peddle his hate to our kids overseas.
I want him either n Jail or charged MILLIONS.

Apparently, it wasn't enough for Rush Limbaugh to call American service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq "phony soldiers."

LIMBAUGH: There's a lot more than that that they don't understand. They can't even -- if -- the next guy that calls here, I'm gonna ask him: Why should we pull -- what is the imperative for pulling out? What's in it for the United States to pull out? They can't -- I don't think they have an answer for that other than, "Well, we just gotta bring the troops home."

CALLER 2: Yeah, and, you know what --

LIMBAUGH: "Save the -- keep the troops safe" or whatever. I -- it's not possible, intellectually, to follow these people.

CALLER 2: No, it's not, and what's really funny is, they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and talk to the media.

LIMBAUGH: The phony soldiers.

CALLER 2: The phony soldiers. If you talk to a real soldier, they are proud to serve. They want to be over in Iraq. They understand their sacrifice, and they're willing to sacrifice for their country.

LIMBAUGH: They joined to be in Iraq. They joined --

Two days later, on September 28, while defending his remarks during the portion of his program broadcast on American Forces Network to our men and women in uniform around the world, Limbaugh went a step further and named decorated Marine Vietnam veteran and Congressman John P. Murtha (D-PA) one of the "phony soldiers." Then, on October 2, Limbaugh went beyond the pale and assailed VoteVets.org for running an ad featuring Brian McGough, an Afghanistan and Iraq war veteran who received the Purple Heart and was severely injured by an IED in Iraq. Limbaugh called the ad "a blatant use of a valiant combat veteran, lying to him about what I said, then strapping those lies to his belt, sending him out via the media in a TV ad to walk into as many people as he can walk into" -- actually comparing McGough to a suicide bomber!

It's time to take action. Use this online directory of Limbaugh's radio affiliates -- contact your local station directly and let them know what you think of his despicable comments.

Whats new! This idiot has always worked for the Christian Propaganda Machine. They seem to advance all the wrong ideas for the Fundamentalist Right and are part of why the War was "sold" to the public in the first place. Rush and Newt is all it takes to go to War. They made suckers out of the followers and always have. Sheeple hiding behind the word of God. Thanks Carol, noted.

Good point Ron. The Right Wing Christians represent the conservatives. They profess the name of Christ. Yet, in reality they follow after Moses and the Ten Commandments. The Golden Rule has become an anomaly in their doctrine. Rather than to espouse liberty, they actually twist its meaning to inflame hatred of liberals.
