On today's show, Rush Limbaugh broke down the anatomy of the left's latest
smear
against him:
1) The Clinton-Soros Group Media Matters for America takes Rush out of
context and
reports that he called soldiers who oppose the war in Iraq "phony
soldiers."
2) The Drive-By Media runs with the lie.
3) A reporter challenges President Bush's spokeswoman to repudiate the
quote (that
Rush never said.)
4) Democrat senators and House members trip over themselves to condemn
Rush,
demanding he apologize (for what he never said) and challenging
Republicans to
condemn him.
If reporters had bothered to check the transcripts and audio at
RushLimbaugh.com, or
even to call the EIB Network for comment, they wouldn't look like such
fools. Rush
was talking about phony soldier Jesse MacBeth. MacBeth portrayed himself
as a
decorated Iraq war veteran who opposed the war. Since "Corporal" MacBeth
fit the
left's anti-war template, the Drive-By Media lapped up his lies. The
truth? Mr.
MacBeth was just sentenced to five months in jail for being...a phony
soldier.
MacBeth never served in Iraq, never won a Purple Heart, never reached the
rank of
corporal, was never an Army Ranger -- and therefore never could have
witnessed war
crimes against Iraqi civilians as he claimed. In fact, MacBeth washed out
of Army
boot camp after 44 days. (Rush 24/7 Members Only: Listen Here)
Rush reminds us of how Democrats smeared General Petraeus, and how John
Kerry, Jack
Murtha and Dick Durbin attacked our rank-and-file soldiers based on lies.
The full
(transcript) of these comments is posted at RushLimbaugh.com. The Dittocam
video of
Rush's opening monologue is up on (YouTube). Will the media bother to look
at either?
The left had to go to a phony soldier to give them bad news out of Iraq.
They need
bad news because they're invested in defeat, and cannot accept the fact
that the
surge has brought Sunnis over to our side and away from Al-Qaeda.
Frederick Kagan's
piece in then Wall Street Journal, "Why We're Winning Now in Iraq,"
details the
anti-war left's worst nightmare. The tide has turned, so much so that
every major
Democrat presidential candidate has committed to staying in Iraq through
2013.
