Rush referred to a group of people, some were soldiers that claimed to have been over seas fighting in the Iraqi war, as "Phony Soldiers". The reason he called them phony as they had been treated at hospitals and were giving first hand testimonials of the war in Iraq but they had never been over there! One guy even claimed that American soldiers that he had been fighting with killed unarmed Iraqi men, women, and children, and hung their bodies in Mosques. This guy was a soldier alright, for 44 days before failing in boot camp and eventually was discharged form the military, HE NEVER LEFT THE STATES FOR ANY REASON. The Arab TV and papers printed his every word and of course when the truth was finally revealed, do you think there was a retraction printed? Of course not. This is why Rush coined the phrase "Phony Soldiers". Fast forward to the U.S. Congress.............. Dingy Harry and his Cronies penned a letter to Mark Mays, the big wig at Clear Channel, the co. that owns Rushs' radio show, condemning Limbaugh for referring to..........and this is the important part......... "the men and women serving in Iraq that disagree with the war and referring to them as Phony Soldiers." WHAT!!! He never said that. The letter was signed by 41 Democrats including Barbara Boxer, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and the rest of the "head in the sand gang." Rush took the letter and put it on ebay and promised the proceeds to a Marine charity that helps families of Marines and military police killed in the service of their country. He also promised to match the total for which the document sold for at final bid. The auction closed today and the final sale was
TWO MILLION, ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS !!!!!!!!! With Rushs' matching contribution the total is FOUR MILLION, TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.
You can bet that the democrats are choking right now. As a matter of fact, they are so embarrassed that Dingy Harry had the nads to stand up before congress this afternoon (once the final tally for the document was known) and take partial credit for the money earned for the charity!!!!!!!
He kept saying "we" did this and "we did that" and he was practically bragging about how much money "WE" had earned for Rushs' charity.
I wanted to PUKE! If you get a chance, go to "youtube.com" and do a search for Rushs' ebay auction and you can also see the document and even find video of Dingy Harry Condemning Rush on the Floor and later see todays video of him now taking credit for the charity. UNBELIEVABLE !! Take the time and look this information up. I don't care if you like Rush or not, the partisan politics in this Democrat debacle is enough to make an informed voter ill.
This story has been developing for about a week or so and it's impossible to cover all of the ridiculousness of this situation. Take a look for yourself. I'd be interested to see y'alls comments.
