( Moveon.Whocares )
Or does the GOP only become "outraged" when it isn't a right wing advocate?

Alpha Male (below) A caller complained about soldiers who disagreed with the Iraq war. Rush referred to them as "phony soldiers" on the air.

Limbaugh referred a few as phony soldiers, not all, as implied in your rant disguised as a question.

A phony soldier is someone who is not in the military but is claiming to be. Such phony people often call conservative radio talk shows claiming to be all kinds of things they are not. I remember one guy who was on a rant about greenhouse gases during the Sean Hannity Show. When Hannity asked him what kind of car he owns he said a Honda Prius.
The problem is, Honda does not make the Prius, Toyota makes the Prius. You would think a person would know what kind of car he owns. These phony soldiers are just the latest personification of the seminar callers.
They fool us not!

It's not the job of the senate to limit free speech, especially because of an out of context claim by some Soros funded web site.

Rush was talking about one antiwar soldier, who was in bootcamp for 44 days, was kicked out of the military. Then went around with antiwar protestors, saying he was an army ranger, received a purple heart, and said he was a party to killing/maiming/torturing innocent civilians. The guy was a complete fraud. Rush said the guy was a phony. Amazing, the party who openly and often says our troops torture innocent civilians, would be outraged. If Rush were a Dem, he would be appaulded. You don't have to agree with him about the war, argue about that. Don't make up fake controversies.

The Senate probably won't say anything. Limbaugh is a looney talking head and everybody knows it. MoveOn.org is made of millions of people and can raise millions of dollars for their cause. But you are right, it isn't likely the GOP will be outraged at all about anything that supports their views. People whined about the Democrats not making any comment about the MoveOn ad but no one said anything about the Rudy Giuliani counter ad and probably won't say anything about this either.

YEA, why should the Senate worry about something like the MILLIONS of illegal aliens invading this Country, when they can WASTE time on something that Rush NEVER said.

Unless we are planning on amending the Constitution and abolishing the First Amendment...no..there won't be a Senate vote.

I would need to see the entire rhetoric in its full context before I could make a decision on that.
Chi Guy ~ Liberals are excellent and taking things out of context and leading people to believe what they want them to believe. I would need to read the entire conversation rather than a synopsis.

Probably not...conservatives only back useless resolutions when it helps them....it's only "anti-American" when it's not conservative...
Just look at some of the conservatives on yahoo answers....they think that the 70% of Americans who want our troops out of Iraq are "Anti-American"
How can a majority of Americans be anti-American???

No. They've met their quota for feigned public outrage this year. I have to say I would have never even seen the Move On ad had that not whined about it so much.
