He called any soldier that doesn't believe in the war in Iraq, a false soldier. Does this mean He's calling Tillman a false soldier too? Should Congress passes a resolution against him like they did with Move-on.org?

We have an interesting attempt above to change the subject over to the fake vets (like Mr. McBeth) trying to take advantage of people's dissatisfaction with the war (widely reported in the "liberal media").
To answer the question, however, Mr. Limbaugh and his ilk have never had a problem bad-mouthing the people who have actually served in the military.
Look at what they said about Senator Cleland, who is not only a combat veteran, but triple amputee from wounds received while in Vietnam.
Look at the smear job against Senator Kerry, who is also a combat veteran.
Then look at the military records of the people doing the smearing. Mr. Limbaugh, Mr. O'Reilly, Ms. Coulter, Mr. Rove, Vice President Cheney (the President has been pretty careful to avoid direct attacks).
Not all conservatives are guilty of this, and many have not only disavowed these statements, but have actively condemned them.
The people making these statements are almost always folks who had better things to do than to actually join the military. Far better to send others off to get shot at by unfriendly strangers.
Of course, Mr. Limbaugh and his ilk take great offense at the idea that the folks in the military might actually be something more than just mindless robots.
To answer the last part of your question, no, we shouldn't ask Congress to pass a resolution about this. Hopefully, they have more important business than worrying about what a blowhard chickenhawk radio voice has to say.

No! I don't think they should, Rush Limbaugh has the right to speak his mind, and good! That way he exposes himself to be the idiot he really is! Who is he to criticize the military service of anyone, specially like you said: "He has never served in the military". Just like his idol, President George W. Bush and most of his cabinet. He is an ******, like the before mentioned as well as Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter, they all need to contract the services of a mental hospital, they seriously have no idea how much therapy they really need. And while I sincerely mean this as an insult, it is also good advice.

Any thing Rush Limbaugh says is covered by the American Right To Free Speech, that includes comments that might be classed as pro or negative with regards the military, thats the reason American's fought & died for liberty.

Tillman didn't falsely speak out against the war. He's talking about idiots like Jeremy French who O'Reilly slapped down. If they themselves are demeaning their fellow troops and their leader then they are false soldiers...

media isn't biased against the right... riiiiiiight... you should do your own research - the soldier he accused of being a 'phony' was this Jesse MacBeth loser who couldn't even make it out of boot camp before he got kicked out. i'll look to see if i can find a transcript of yesterdays show (that i was listening to) for you so you can see the exact wording.

Look, just another person that soaks up the media lies. I don't suppose you ever thought to go get the truth? Didn't think so.
Stop spreading lies, it tells more about your character than of Limbaugh's.

Rush Limbaugh should be ashamed that he breaths good air.
Give me all the thumbs down you want. Limbaugh is a drug using hypocrite jerk. He slams the UCLU (which I don't like either) but used them to weasel out of his drug charge. Yes, he should be very ashamed of himself.

Two words for you: Jesse Macbeth
Look him up, this is who he was talking about, sorry your liberal media has f'ed up again!
Here I'll save you the effort, because obviously you do not research things on your own, you just believe what the liberal media spews at you:
