WASHINGTON — The owner of the company that airs Rush Limbaugh's show has come to his defense, telling Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that while he isn't certain to whom Limbaugh was referring when he used the term "phony soldiers," the radio talk show host has a long history of supporting U.S. troops.
Mark P. Mays, president of Clear Channel, the parent company of Limbaugh's broadcast, on Tuesday responded to a letter signed by 41 Democrats that called on the network "to publicly repudiate" comments made by Limbaugh "that call into question" the service and sacrifice of troops who oppose the war in Iraq

WiseOne's Comments, this has me raving mad! Where were the Democrats when an honorable General was called "General Betray Us?" WTF is wrong with our government? AND, this was out of context. He was talking about a soldier who got FIVE MONTHS IN JAIL for faking his video against the military and this "phony soldier" FLUNKED out of boot camp in 40 days!!! AARGH. The Democrats are a bunch of MORONS, IMHO. Don't they have anything better to do like help the poor? HUH?

From Rush's talk about a REAL phony soldier, Jesse MacBeth (now doing prison time):

Quote:

I want to illustrate something for you today, folks. I've done it before. I want to do it again. I call this the anatomy of a smear, and what this is is a great illustration of the liberals and the Democrat Party playbook for '08, which is underway now. The morning update on Wednesday dealt with a soldier, a fake, phony soldier by the name of Jesse MacBeth who never served in Iraq; he was never an Army Ranger. He was drummed out of the military in 44 days. He had his day in court; he never got the Purple Heart as he claimed, and he described all these war atrocities. He became a hero to the anti-war left. They love phony soldiers, and they prop 'em up. When it is demonstrated that they have been lying about things, then they just forget about it. There's no retraction; there's no apology; there's no, "Uh-oh, sorry." After doing that morning update on Wednesday, I got a phone call yesterday from somebody, we were talking about the troops, and this gentleman said something which you'll hear here in just a second, prompting me to reply "yeah, the phony soldiers."

SENATE DEMOCRATS CONDEMN LIMBAUGH’S ATTACK ON OUR TROOPS
Tue Oct 02 2007 18:49:38 ET
Washington, DC—Senate Democrats today sent the following letter to Mark P. Mays, CEO of Clear Channel Communications, calling on him to publicly repudiate Rush Limbaugh’s characterization of troops who speak out against the Iraq war as “phony soldiers.” Despite recent Republican comments condemning verbal attacks on our troops, when given the opportunity to join us in signing this letter, not a single one did so.
The text of the letter is below and attached:
October 2, 2007
Mr. Mark P. Mays
CEO, Clear Channel Communications Inc.
200 East Basse Road
San Antonio, TX 78209
Dear Mr. Mays,
At the time we sign this letter, 3,808 American soldiers have been killed in Iraq, and another 28,009 have been wounded. 160,000 others awoke this morning on foreign sand, far from home, to face the danger and uncertainty of another day at war.
Although Americans of goodwill debate the merits of this war, we can all agree that those who serve with such great courage deserve our deepest respect and gratitude. That is why Rush Limbaugh’s recent characterization of troops who oppose the war as “phony soldiers” is such an outrage.
Our troops are fighting and dying to bring to others the freedoms that many take for granted. It is unconscionable that Mr. Limbaugh would criticize them for exercising the fundamentally American right to free speech. Mr. Limbaugh has made outrageous remarks before, but this affront to our soldiers is beyond the pale.
The military, like any community within the United States, includes members both for and against the war. Senior generals, such as General John Batiste and Paul Eaton, have come out against the war while others have publicly supported it. A December 2006 poll conducted by the Military Times found just 35 percent of service members approved of President Bush’s handling of the war in Iraq, compared to 42 percent who disapproved. From this figure alone, it is clear that Mr. Limbaugh’s insult is directed at thousands of American service members.
Active and retired members of our armed forces have a unique perspective on the war and offer a valuable contribution to our national debate. In August, seven soldiers wrote an op-ed expressing their concern with the current strategy in Iraq. Tragically, since then, two of those seven soldiers have made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq.
Thousands of active troops and veterans were subjected to Mr. Limbaugh’s unpatriotic and indefensible comments on your broadcast. We trust you will agree that not a single one of our sons, daughters, neighbors and friends serving overseas is a “phony soldier.” We call on you to publicly repudiate these comments that call into question their service and sacrifice and to ask Mr. Limbaugh to apologize for his comments.
Sincerely,
Senator Harry Reid, Majority Leader
Senator Richard Durbin, Assistant Majority Leader
Senator Charles Schumer, Vice Chairman, Democratic Conference
Senator Patty Murray, Secretary, Democratic Conference
Senator Daniel Akaka
Senator Max Baucus
Senator Joseph Biden
Senator Barbara Boxer
Senator Sherrod Brown
Senator Robert Byrd (added by WiseOne: Byrd, the KKK Grand Master)
Senator Benjamin Cardin
Senator Tom Carper
Senator Bob Casey
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (added by WiseOne: and who the hell is this woman to talk about anyone?)
Senator Kent Conrad
Senator Christopher Dodd
Senator Byron Dorgan
Senator Dianne Feinstein
Senator Tom Harkin
Senator Daniel Inouye
Senator Edward M. Kennedy (added by WiseOne: Teddy, the murderer)
Senator John Kerry
Senator Amy Klobuchar
Senator Mary Landrieu
Senator Frank Lautenberg
Senator Patrick Leahy
Senator Carl Levin

Yes they are and when it comes to party value they are worthless unless you happen to be some one that expects a handout from them for doing nothing more than showing up at the hand out office, or in many cases breaking into our country illegally and expecting the rest of us to pay for you.

We've all heard the saying "Keep working millions on welfare depend on you".
Well I've changed that to "Keep working, millions of Democrats on welfare depend on you"

This is exactly why the party of panderers will never back down from any of the bald faced lies and smears they've done of the troops.

Its a sad fact that the Dim party view as a whole is that the only good soldier is a dead soldier.
Take sen. John Murtha, he publicly slandered the reputation of a group of Marines in Iraq, and when found to be a LIAR he has not issued one word of retraction, apology or any thing similar to show that he made a mistake. USELESS I say.

Its an insult to the intelligence of the voters stupid enough to elect them, and its an even greater insult to the intelligence of America as a whole.

This group of morons are not qualified to lead their way out of a wet paper bag, let alone run a country.

How stupid do they think the American people are????????????????????

THEY make me sick.

Amen! Now I am so fired up over this one...this is what I needed! I needed a kick in the ### to get in gear and fight, fight, fight the injustices of the Democratic Party! Watch out, people, I am on a role now! This is the ultimate BS I have ever heard! The soldier Rush spoke of WAS a phony soldier! He flunked boot camp after only 40 days! And, then said he massacred people in Iraq (he NEVER could make it through boot camp!)? Hey! I am going to fight like you wouldn't believe now...I will take ALL those morons that signed that and take their words out of context and do the same to them!

I LOVE Clear Channel's response! Read Clear Channel's Response To Harry Reid. Mark Mays, you are my hero, dude!

My favorite part:

Quote:

"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.

I wouldn't have been able to help myself and would have put a jab in at them for their loud, incessant, and wrong hatred towards the troops.
