| The group, VoteVets.org, is spending $60,000 on the ad, which will air on Fox News and CNN. In addition, a radio version of the ad will run during Limbaugh’s show in Washington, D.C., and Palm Beach, Fla., the group said.
At issue is Limbaugh’s controversial “phony soldiers” remark that was made during a broadcast last week in response to a caller who criticized soldiers who spoke out against the war in Iraq. While Limbaugh says his remark is directed at people pretending to have a service record and seeking the limelight, Democrats have taken the statement as an insult to the troops who are serving but do not support the war and called the remark “hateful” and “unpatriotic.”
But... The real question is will this VoteVet.org's ad be another one of their bogus ads???
Last year VoteVets.org released an attack ad claiming that we're sending US troops into combat with leftovers from a war which ended 30 years ago. But as Q and O reported, this was not true:
That soldiers were being sent into combat in Iraq wearing vests "left over from Vietnam" is disingenuous at best and to then show only the partial capability of the vest in question is even worse.
Some may write it off to "politics", but the sponsors of the ad, supposedly a veteran's organization, should be ashamed of themselves.

| Josh Lansdale falsely charged he was denied health care from the Department of Veterans Affairs because of non-existent cuts to the VA budget.
Lansdale disappeared shortly after he made the ad for Democrat McCaskill.
This was found out about Josh's "battle injuries" while he was missing:
Josh enlightened all Missourians with this message during his starring appearance in Claire McCaskill’s misguided propaganda peace. This description might leave many voters with a mental image of Josh falling in a hail of gunfire and heroically leaving the battlefield with a shattered ankle. Interestingly enough, though, this couldn’t be further from the truth.
According to several sources, the Source has learned the true nature behind Jumpin’ Josh’s injury. Rather than in a glorified firefight, Josh actually ‘busted’ his ankle in an intense volleyball match, believe it or not.
Josh Lansdale went on to make ads with the democratic anti-Iraq War group VoteVets.org...

Maybe this is good that this is happening now. I think the intent of Limbaugh's statement was in reference to real phony soldiers, as stated by the caller and Limbaugh's reply.
The real phony soldiers who have been called into question, and there is more than just Jesse MacBeth, have mostly supported the left until they were discovered, then they were dropped, without any remorse from the group that initially supported them. Mr Limbaugh has always supported the troops, he is popular on AFN, and has never uttered the words "this war is lost" "this is the wrong war at the wrong time" "this is all about money and oil" these sayings are from individuals and groups who claim they support the troops while they are engaged in active combat with enemies of this country.
I really wonder what the reaction from the left will be when the next comerical, be it by radio or TV, has a decorated several times wounded veteran express his views on what supporting the mission and the troops means that don't agree with the left. And the ad is coming, probably being made as I type this post.
All this is going to show who supports who in this whole matter be it left or right.
And the thing that should matter most is how this helps the enemy in his ability to show the divide that exists in this country, and hiding behind the quote "I have a right to express myself." I really wonder who supports the troops.

Hypocrites all.

Like I said, wait to see the reaction of the left when the next comerical comes out.

I really wonder how that ad will be treated by the media

Translation: When a liberal says something it must be true and go unchallenged. However, if someone they disagree with says something it is bad and untrue, etc.
KJH | 10.03.07 - 11:43 am | # So, let me get this straight--
Because he said "phony soldiers"--plural, that means that Media Matters, Harry Reid, John Kerry and 39 other Democrat senators are NOT lying about what he said, and that they're NOT hoping that people won't examine the context of what he originally said?
Of course, for many left-wing idealogues, the whole context won't make any difference. They'll believe whatever they desperately need to believe, no matter the evidence. Sounds just like the hacks at Newshounds, doesn't it?

First of all, Media Matters--a partisan organization--has already admitted that they edited the transcript of the radio show in question. You could have learned that from a very quick perusal of even the simplest AP wire blurb on the story.
And if "Rush has repeatedly denigrated war veterans," as you say he has, you won't have any trouble naming ONE such instance, will you?

Now, I may be "fucking stupid," but I can spell the word "really" correctly, so what does that make you?
Juvenal | 10.03.07 - 10:47 pm |
Are you kidding me? In seven and a half hours, you haven't been able to to provide a single link to corroborate any of the idiotic things you've said here. If it's so easy, why aren't you able to do it? See my post above for the MM-edited transcript and the full transcript (which you never asked for).
