Reid On Senate Floor: Republicans Who Criticized MoveOn Must Condemn Rush ‘With Equal Fervor’
Reid On Senate Floor: Republicans Who Criticized MoveOn Must Condemn Rush ‘With Equal Fervor’
Last week, right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh declared that soldiers who support American withdrawal from Iraq are “phony soldiers.”
Today, Majority Leader Harry Reid gave a seven-minute speech on the floor of the Senate condemning Limbaugh and calling on his colleagues — both Democratic and Republican — to sign a letter of disapproval to the CEO of Clear Channel. He said that Limbaugh, whose show is broadcast on Armed Forces Radio, “owes the men and women of our Armed Forces an apology” for his comments that “went way over the line.”
Reid also hit the hypocrisy of his conservative colleagues. Last week, 72 senators voted for the highly politicized, “bait and switch” resolution that condemned a newspaper ad by MoveOn.org. Yet most of those lawmakers have been silent on Limbaugh’s comments. From Reid’s statement:
If we take the Republican side at their word that last week’s vote on another controversial statement related to the war was truly about patriotism, not politics, then I have no doubt that they will stand with us against Limbaugh’s comments with equal fervor.
I am confident we will see Republicans join with us in overwhelming numbers. Anything less would betray a double standard that has no place in the United States Senate.
Watch it:
Today, Rep. Mark Udall (D-CO) plans to introduce a resolution condemning Limbaugh’s remarks.
Transcript:
M. President, freedom of speech is one of our country’s most cherished values.
Nothing sets us further apart than the countries and regimes we oppose than our belief that everyone’s opinion matters, and everyone has the right to express it.
That is why, when we hear things on the radio that are offensive, by and large, we tolerate them.
But last week, Rush Limbaugh went way over the line — and while we respect his right to say anything he likes, his unpatriotic comments cannot be ignored.
During his show last Wednesday, Rush Limbaugh was engaged in one of his typical rants.
This rant was unremarkable and indistinguishable from his usual drivel, which has been steadily losing listeners for years — until he crossed that line by calling our men and women in uniform who oppose the war in Iraq “phony soldiers.”
This comment was so beyond the pale of decency that it cannot be left alone.
And yet, he followed it up with denials and an attack on Congressman Jack Murtha, a 37-year active member of the Marine Corps.
M. President, we have been debating the Iraq war here in the Senate and throughout the country for not months, but years.
There are good, patriotic Americans who favor the war — and good, patriotic Americans who oppose President Bush’s handling of it.
Neither party holds a patent on patriotism.
I know all my Republican colleagues would agree with that.
Yet Rush Limbaugh took it upon himself to attack the courage and character of those fighting and dying for him and for all of us.
Rush Limbaugh got himself a deferment from serving when he was a young man.
He never served in uniform.
He never saw in person the extreme difficulty of maintaining peace in a foreign country engaged in civil war.
Ye he thinks that his opinion on the war is worth more than those who are on the frontlines.
And what’s worse — Limbaugh’s show is broadcast on Armed Forces Radio —
– Which means that thousands of troops overseas and veterans here at home were forced to hear this attack on their patriotism.
Rush Limbaugh owes the men and women of our Armed Forces an apology.
On Friday, many Democrats joined me in drafting a letter to the Chief Executive Officer of Clear Channel, Mark Mays that we will send out this week. [...]
I can’t help but wonder how my Republican colleagues would have reacted if the tables were turned — if a well-known Democratic radio personality had used the same insulting line of attack against troops who support the war.
The letter I read will be available on the Senate floor for the entire day. My colleagues on both sides of the aisle will have every chance to add their names to it, and I encourage all of us to do so.
If we take the Republican side at their word that last week’s vote on another controversial statement related to the war was truly about patriotism, not politics, then I have no doubt that they will stand with us against Limbaugh’s comments with equal fervor.
I am confident we will see Republicans join with us in overwhelming numbers. Anything less would betray a double standard that has no place in the United States Senate.
I ask my colleagues, Democrat and Republican alike, to join together against this irresponsible, hateful, and unpatriotic attack — by calling upon Rush Limbaugh to give our troops the apology they deserve.

“I also want a resolution retracting the Moveon.org resolution. I won’t have any of that “Democrats taking responsibility†fluff.”
SHAYME.
Really? where does it say that? What’s the matter shame, needing two sets of rules all of a sudden? It’s ok when a neocon facist coward smears soldiers all of a sudden?
October 1st, 2007 at 3:00 pmI’d still like to see Limbaugh play a friendly game of
“Can I knock your ass down with Pugil sticks at one yard”
with any of the phony soldiers still alive…
October 1st, 2007 at 3:00 pmHarkin on the floor right now, wondering if any Republican will stand against Rush. “Maybe he was just high on his drugs again. I don’t know.”
hahahaha!!
October 1st, 2007 at 3:01 pm“I am confident we will see Republicans join with us in overwhelming numbers.”
Yeah, let me know how that turns out, Senator. The Republicans may be the minority, but somehow they’re still calling the shots.
October 1st, 2007 at 3:01 pmRush, you have become the cyst on America’s ass.
You were the bacteria that began this insidious infection dividing the USA
You are a sorry, drug induced imbecile with a big mouth.
You are no more a Patriot than Osama bin Laden.

now you’re hiding behind your kids, wasn’t that a bad thing to do when the dems had a 12 year old respond to bush this weekend?
October 1st, 2007 at 3:04 pmYou know I would welcome this if it came from a more effective leader than the one called Harry Reid. I need noone who REFUSES to speak up for the people to all of the sudden find a spine when its not politically risky to do so.
I’m sorry but I feel that there is no opposition party. I would rather go down fighting than being led by a bunch of scary azzed Democrats.
Colleagues!!!!???
The Repuppetcans have shown that they are nothing more than enemies and yet you still pander to them, there is no spirit of cooperation, civility, decency, or bipartisanship in Congress, so say what needs to be said, call tem out, hell call them names for all I care, but say something, soething that show the country that you have had enough of this BS from the right.
Again I apologize for not accepting Mr. Reid’s whatever he’s trying to do, for you see for some of my Soldier’s, Peer’s, Superiors’s, it’s a little to damn late.

I really think Shayne will support fascists.
October 1st, 2007 at 3:13 pmThis is no more the people’s business than condemning the moveon ad. Jesus, this is the US Senate. They have weightier matters to attend to than condemning drug addicts and advocacy groups.
If the comment offended our soldiers in the field, pull it from Armed Forces Radio. If not, some of those guys over there might enjoy it. Its not what Id consider entertaining, but if it gets a few guys through the day then God bless.
October 1st, 2007 at 3:13 pmSorry, I really think Shayne wont ever support fascists.
October 1st, 2007 at 3:13 pmYES!
#1, I heartily agree with you there… Congress has no time (or place) for these kinds of resolutions, especially when such important matters are before them…

AMEN!!
October 1st, 2007 at 3:18 pmI really would have liked to see the Dems take the high road on this. They should have just released a statement saying, “We don’t agree with Rush Limbaugh but we are not going to waste the people’s time and money by pursuing this matter any further. We have more important issues to attend to.”
October 1st, 2007 at 3:20 pmThis is not turning out too badly.
If this whole do-si-do ends with the Republicans reprimanding Limbaugh, it’d be worth it.

Comment by Shayne
I’d love to stay and chat, but I’m late for my reading comprehension class.
October 1st, 2007 at 3:30 pmWell, since the Senate wasted time condemning the free speech of one organization, in the name of fairness, it should waste an equal amount of time condemning Rush’s free speech since there’s NO difference between the contents of the two (aside from the political divide).
October 1st, 2007 at 3:37 pmIf Rush is allowed to get away with HIS despicable attack on the military, then I hope MoveOn.org SUES the Congress for its unconstitutional attack on the group’s First Amendment rights. (After all, the resolution did NOT condemn the New York Times’ taking the group’s money to run the ad, nor did the resolution condemn the ad based on its paid advertisement nature. The resolution condemned the POLITICAL CONTENT of the ad, and the Congress should be reminded that it doesn’t have the power to condemn POLITICAL statements made by Americans that it–or, more accurately, the loudmouthed far-right-wingers haranguing Congress.)
Harry Reid ” I am confident that Republicans will join with us” You stupid Bastard! Harry Reid needs to go and take Nancy with him. The Republicans still control the Agenda!
October 1st, 2007 at 3:38 pmReid On Senate Floor: Republicans Who Criticized MoveOn Must Condemn Rush ‘With Equal Fervor’
Um, Harry. No they don’t. Haven’t you learned yet that the Reps can wallow in the ripest hypocrisy imaginable? This tiny little inconsistency is but a trifle to them.
October 1st, 2007 at 3:44 pmI cannot agree with those of you saying the Dems should not pursue this. By allowing the Repubs to do what ever they want to do, you are nothing more than enablers.
October 1st, 2007 at 3:48 pmYou enable the Repubs to make the arguement that the left, because they are against the war, are also against the troops. The left is unpatriotic.
By calling the Repubs on their BS, you stop allowing them to make this arguement. The Dems have the opportunity make the Republicans eat crow and should they should.
So, you are okay with some of our soldier getting through by thinking that their fellow soldiers are phonies?
That is just plain odd.
October 1st, 2007 at 3:53 pmRepukian says: Double standards? In Repukians? Naw, could never happen. They are honest folks with strong moral upbring…….choke.

October 1st, 2007 at 3:54 pmIt’s ok when a neocon facist coward smears soldiers all of a sudden?
Comment by Bobwurst
The difference is that Limbaugh smeared our soldiers. All moveon.org did was tell the truth. Isn’t it funny that no one ever spoke to the content of the ad, just the two words they used “Betray Us” and somehow morphed those words into meaning that Betrayus was committing treason. Besides, it’s Limbaugh that came up with that particular phrase when he called Chuck Hagel “Betrayus”. There is no hypocracy here. Limbaugh intentionally smeared the troops. The Right Wing Loons made a straw man out of two words moveon.org used in an advertisement making it something it was not.
October 1st, 2007 at 3:54 pmSo, the right wing controlled media reported on something to give Limpballs a launch pad to attack our military to see if the neocons could get away with a new talking point.
Didn’t work, next.
October 1st, 2007 at 3:55 pmComment by Billy Hill — October 1, 2007 @ 3:42 pm
You site an organization that questioned the validity of Jack Murtha’s Purple Hearts. So the very organization you use as support for Limbaugh is as unpatriotic as Limbaugh himself.
October 1st, 2007 at 3:56 pmJust like a co-dependent buying drinks for there alcoholic co-dependent.
October 1st, 2007 at 3:57 pmStill at it huh!! Still can’t admit to yourself that this is NOT what Rush said, huh!! But since your main object is to win in 2008 and the hell with VICTORY and the hell with the troops it is quite understandable!!
Comment by John Kerry
No Right Wing Loon JK – it is exactly what he said. It is you and your bunch of lying idiots who have tried to insist that he was talking about something different. We have ears and we know what he said, whether you like it or not. If he was talking about that one particular soldier, he would have mentioned it before his conversation, not way after. Since what came before his conversation was making fun of someone who opposed the war, it is obvious to anyone other than Right Wing Loon deniers what he intended to say. He just got caught with his pants down. I understand he also edited the version of the conversation he had on his site to make it sound like it was something it was not. Fortunately he is not the only source for the audio of his show.
October 1st, 2007 at 3:58 pmRush said today on his show before Justice Thomas’ interview: that he was sorry for what happened on his show last week. Hmmmmmmm
Comment by interestedlitigant
Wait a minute here. If he was misquoted and didn’t mean what we thought he meant, then why is he apologizing? I’m sure his apology was something along the lines “And if someone was somehow offended by what I said, even thought I didn’t mean anything insulting, then I apologize to the people who were offended”, or some other meaningless kind of apology.
October 1st, 2007 at 4:04 pmSo, you are okay with some of our soldier getting through by thinking that their fellow soldiers are phonies?
That is just plain odd.
Comment by Spudge Boy — October 1, 2007 @ 3:53 pm

Rush is a clown. If some of our troops get entertainment value out of listening to this clown in their free time then so be it. If a substantial amount of them are offended then pull it.
I don’t hit it on the dial, but who are we to deny the guys in uniform that actually enjoy this filth. It’s not like anyone is being forced to listen to him. That’d be cruel.
October 1st, 2007 at 4:26 pmIf Repukes continue to play partisan thuggery, the entire system loses and they should read the handwriting on the wall if they want to keep their cushy overpaid jobs! When people view this mental masturbation ongoing daily in Congress, they have to realize that our system of government is definitely NOT working.
October 1st, 2007 at 4:42 pmdebaser: The only correction I’d make to your statement is the use of the word “clown” as a synonym for Rush Limbaugh. The corrected adjective would be “ass clown”.
October 1st, 2007 at 4:43 pmLet’s get on with focusing on ending this amoral, illegal war please! These idiots don’t realize that all of this ridiculous debating is another Bush diversionary tactic. Come on, fools…..get with the program.

http://www.crooksandliars.com/index.php?rand=20071001141539&paged=3
If he didn’t use the term “phony soldiers” in reference to members of the U. S. military who don’t agree with the current approach in Iraq, please provide your alternative explanation.
October 1st, 2007 at 5:33 pmkaty, I was thinking the same thing…
She sounded…strange.
October 1st, 2007 at 5:39 pmDemocrats! listen to the actual phone call. You’re making utter fools of yourselves by believing what Reid and others have said.
— he said exactly the same thing that ABC news said about phony soldiers and referred to the same soldier highlighted in their show — a basic trainee dropout who had claimed to have been wounded in Iraq and to have murdered civilians.
Reid and Harkins have caused you all to look very, very foolish.
October 1st, 2007 at 5:53 pm“Reid On Senate Floor: Republicans Who Criticized MoveOn Must Condemn Rush ‘With Equal Fervor’”
Did Homosexual Harry condemn the MoveOn ad? Have the Democrats failed to do so.

Everyone knows you should be in jail for what you have been up to, you are one corrupt person, do the decent thing and retire
October 1st, 2007 at 6:29 pmMoveOn had every right to publish their ad. The NYTimes, however, had no right to give them a 50 percent discount – by accident of course!
Part of the right wing media conspiracy no doubt!
Rush, MoveOn, the far left, the far right = HATERS! How can haters ever lead America to anything but hate?
Perhaps its time for America to vote out EVERY incumbent? Could it really get any worse? Is it time to send the lobbyists and their crony-lapdogs in Congress packing?

October 1st, 2007 at 6:47 pmLOL! Typical lame and moronic dummycraps. Are you people EVER going to learn to check FACTS before making idiotic statements to the senate? Keep up the good work. A GOP victory gets another boost everytime Dingy Harry, Traitor Kerry, Screamin Nan, etc. open their mouths! The gift that keeps giving….to the GOP!!
October 1st, 2007 at 6:48 pmHarry “Pinky” Reid apparently criticized Limbaugh for commenting on a certain type of “soldier” without serving in the military himself (most of those of us who served, and actually fired a shot at the enemy, have the same opinion as Limbaugh). Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I read a brief bio of Reid, and nowhere does it mention his military service.
October 1st, 2007 at 7:57 pmIn breeding seems to have infected this blog, there is an absence of brain matter.
Too many of you are getitng your information from too few left wing sources and have your ears closed to anything else.
The “phony soldiers” that the Loveable Little Fuzzball was talking about were the likes of Jesse McBeth who dont protest too much. McBeth claimed to have been an army ranger in Iraq and had witnessed atrocities that were committed by our troops. While it is true McBeth was in the army, it was only for 44 days. He apparently made his exit after boot camp. I think he qualifies for “phoney soldier” status don’t you? There have been others of his ilk that the left side kooks like to parade about. These are “phoney soldiers” and are a disgrace to this country and are traitors for making their false accusations.
Today, with public support for Congress even lower than for the President, Senator Harry Reid wasted valuable time by calling for a resolution against the Loveable Little Fuzzball for something that the LLF never said. When he made reference to “phoney soldiers” he was talking about a genuine “phoney soldier”, Jesse McBeth. Their have been other “phoney soldiers” and that is why the LLF used the term “soldiers”.
The LLF extended an invitation to Harry “The body” Reid to come on his show and make the same charges to his face. Surly if “The Body” can waste time with bogus resolutions in the Senate, he can adress the LLF and millions of listeners to clear up the matter. He might also explain his previous remarks that our troops are losers.
October 1st, 2007 at 8:02 pmReid is a f-ing idiot. He’s going to almost single handedly bring down the democratic party. Stop taking things out of context and spouting off about it. It’s going to kill any chances we have in 08′.
October 1st, 2007 at 8:30 pmPerhaps the trolls can explain Rush Limbaugh’s having NOT served in the military and the real reasons for this being the case.
Trolls?
October 1st, 2007 at 9:09 pmi didnt realize that there is so much hatred in america, specially by all the left wing wackos. no wonder why rush always makes his points about how anti american the left is. and the for the dumbasses that keep complaining about rush being on the armed forces radio. that what the soldiers asked for you freaking idoits.
October 1st, 2007 at 9:23 pmHey liberals, I understand that you have been exposed for your advocacy of defeat… not just in Iraq but in the war on terror as a whole. You have picked the wrong guy to fight. Limbaugh is right on the mark… Jesse McBeth, SPECIFICALLY, is who he was referring to (Its on YouTube). McBeth is a phony and I’ll happily add my name to that comment. To invent someone’s credentials in order to give your anti-war rhetoric some credibility proves the above that you are invested totally in an American defeat.
October 1st, 2007 at 9:41 pmDear mr or mrs curmudgeon, I have a question. You wrote;
“Perhaps the trolls can explain Rush Limbaugh’s having NOT served in the military and the real reasons for this being the case.
Trolls?”
My question; what the hell are you talking about?
I would put up the military record of the Loveable Little Fuzzball up against Hillary, Bill, John or even Barak.
The LLF is the only one of this group calling for victory in Iraq. Are you siding with the loosers? Why am I not surprised!!!
October 1st, 2007 at 10:27 pmHmmm, So Reid is demanding that Republicans condemn Rush for something he did not say since the condemned move.org for a slander it did?
October 2nd, 2007 at 1:21 amAnd Harkin, a proven military fraud who lied about his service, is the one casting stones at Rush?
Just checking to see if the old saying that to destroy a conservative, lefties have to lie about what they said, while to destroy a lefty one only has to tell the truth.
I guess it is still true.

Seem like demential is a neo-con requirement.
Rush slandered soldiers, that is a fact. His attempt to spin his slandere went nowhere, as most people realize that the drug-addled, viagra-popping, drug user has to only open his mouth to begin spewing his lies.
When regressives face the truth, they cower. When progressives get slandered with lies, and more lies, the regressives shout “yay!”

The truth will set you free, but first it’s going to tick you off!
October 2nd, 2007 at 8:01 amWhy did Rush Limbagh refuse to serve in Vietnam?
Was it the cyst on his anus? Why doesn’t he have it removed with the millions he makes? Or is he trying to get his drug-connection back in operation?
Was it his “bad back”? Why does he still play golf? Anyone with a bum back knows you’d be stupid to keep playing golf if your back was gimpy. I guess Rush is stupid.
Why do right-whining, neo-cons run to defend a coward who refused to serve his country? Why does Rush continue to slander the troops?
October 2nd, 2007 at 8:04 amMega Dittos to Rush for sticking up for out soldiers!!
http://www.americanlegends.blogspot.com
October 2nd, 2007 at 3:14 pmSo Ryan Neat, the George Soros paid hitman on the blog. Do you not have the courage to listen to 6 minutes of Rush Limbaugh? I understand! The truth kills you because if you had any courage to listen, you would learn that Mr. Limbaugh was speaking about Jesse MacBeth and Jesse MacBeth exclusively? Who is Jesse MacBeth? Someone who was discharged from the Army after only 44 days? Purple Heart? Obviously, the purple heart means nothing to someone from MoveOn.org. I have no problem with any soldier who would question our policies anywhere in the world. It is a volunteer army. But for someone to have their credentials inflated, perhaps by your organization, to attempt to be credible shows just how void of facts and logic you really are. You do not fool me for one second.
