On his September 26th broadcast, Rush Limbaugh insulted our men and women in uniform, calling those who oppose the war "phony soldiers." Rush continued his tirade a few days later by denying he had said anything wrong and attacking John Murtha, who served 37 years in the Marines.
This insult is from the guy whose close pals at Swift Boat Veterans for Truth have compared disabled veteran Max Cleland to Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.
In December 2006, a poll run by the Military Times found that only 35 percent of service members approved of President Bush's handling of the war in Iraq. Would Rush consider every other Soldier, Sailor, Airman and Marine to be phony? What about General John Batiste, who retired from active duty in order to speak out against this war?
Limbaugh's show is broadcast on Armed Forces Radio, and therefore service members around the world heard his insults. It's time for Clear Channel to make Rush apologize.
Sign our petition today demanding that Rush apologize for calling members of the military and veterans who oppose the war with Iraq "phony soldiers"!
