Now what?

Answer 1

Bush did not attack McCain's patriotism.

The GOP attacked Kerry's actions *after* his service.

Limbauch attacked a few big mouths, not all Iraq vets.

So your rant, disguised as a question, is specious.

Answer 2

To score political points of one sort or another. Attacking Kerry when he was the rival party's candidate for President was obvious. Attacking anti-war types is par for the course for a shock jock like Limbaugh, being vets won't shield them. Bush criticising McCain is a little more opaque, probably due to some political hair-splitting over policy (of course, if McCain were, by some miracle, to get the GOP nomination, Bush would endorse him as a great patriot).

Answer 3

McCain and his camp are observing each pass Obama makes in this holiday and would't stand the reality that Obama has linked with middle east leaders, has assured Israel we can continuously be at their side and exceptionally the way he linked with troops. McCain has made a damaging remark on almost each little thing Obama has mentioned and performed. He'd be greater effective off specializing in his own marketing campaign, attempting to place what's left of it lower back jointly. i think of became into respectful and honorable for Obama to pass to Yad Vashem and the reason he became into wearing the yamalcah on his head is via the fact all adult adult males that wade by using the memorial would desire to. that is an illustration of understand, like women human beings would desire to cover their heads while they visit a Catholic church.

Answer 4

Limbaugh did say that any Iraq war veteran against the war is a phony soldier. When did Limbaugh serve? Bush didn't go to Viet Nam? Kerry & McCain are both veterans who served their country, unlike Bush, Limbaugh or even Cheney.

Answer 5

Limbaugh attacked people CLAIMING to be vets, but who aren't. Hence the term "phony vets."

Your other assertions are inaccurate. People who are concerned about lies and smears would do well to be truthful themselves.

PS The source says that people called in claiming to be in the military. If I say I am a millionaire, does it make it so? And if I am, what if someone doesn't me? Do they automatically get tarred for saying something negative about everyone with money, if they doubt my claim?

I truly hope people advancing this smear know they are twisting the facts. If they really believe this nonsense, then there are far too many severely mentally disabled people in the country. Really.

Answer 6

First off, site your sources. Second of all, Democrats attack other candidate's credibilities also. There are 2 sides to everything. This includes politicians.

Answer 7

WOW
Liberals jump on the hate band wagon with out siteing any sources.
ROFL they are so easy to expose

Answer 8

Probably because very few of those people served in a war..and are feeling a little bit "out-manned" if you will. So they strike out due to their insecurities.

I mean, come on, with what McCain went through, it is a slap in the face to POWs everywhere to question where his heart is.l

Answer 9

Did Rush do a little "Iraq war veteren dance" like he did with Michael J. Fox?

Answer 10

Well , that's a Conservative Republican for you !!!
If any of those boys had served in the Military and had seen action , they would have become men .
Not mouthy little boys !!!!
