Can any Republican provide Limbaugh's transcript which shows what they claim?

Question

one for the .................... Transcript please.

Answer 1

Uh oh. This could very well be the most ignored question (by the Republicans) in Yahoo Answers.

And while they are tap dancing their way out of THAT bathroom stall, perhaps they could answer THIS question?

"Why doesn't President Bush care about capturing Osama bin Laden?"

Answer 2

I read the transcript and while I believe this is much to do about nothing, he also makes it clear that if are a Democrat or do not support this war, that you are a coward, or, as he puts it, a white flag waver. Now, if you can honestly tell me that this doesn't describe some of the soldiers in Iraq, then you have been brainwashed. So, even if in this case he may have been misquoted, it is obvious that he thinks there are a lot of phony soldiers in our military.

Answer 3

Actually his whole transcript is on his website.
I was just sifting through it.
The website is quite commical, it's like Right wing graphics on acid.
I especially like the smug shot of him w/the cigar on the left.

It was one comment totally taken out of context.

Answer 4

So the left makes a charge and it's up to Rush to prove he's innocent? (Which he is) Where is their transcript--the whole thing, not the disjointed comments Media Matters has put together and then revised?

Answer 5

I don't care what limbaugh said. I don't need to defend him. I don't need to stand by his side. It doesn't matter.

It's nice you took a break from hassling the military to go chase down reckless pluralization, it really makes up for that betray-us stuff.

Answer 7

The transcript is available almost anywhere.

He called a phony liar: a phony liar.

Answer 8

Other than the edited one found on limbaugh's site? No, they can't.

Answer 9

that's a mighty tall order

Answer 10

I listen every day and know for a fact that this was taken out of context. as you requested:
BREWER: Some leading Democrats are attacking radio talk show personality Rush Limbaugh because he called soldiers who opposed the Iraq war "phony." Limbaugh was criticizing the anti-war movement generally and made the comment to a caller.

RUSH ARCHIVE: It's not possible intellectually to follow these people.

CALLER: No, it's not. And what's really funny is they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and spout to the media.

RUSH: The phony soldiers.

BREWER: Democratic Senator John Kerry is demanding an apology from Limbaugh, whose comments he calls "disgusting and an embarrassment."

RUSH: That's really rich. John Kerry, whose own soldiers, his own personnel, fellow soldiers in those Swift Boats, at least many of them who said he was lying about his supposed heroics, this is the same John Kerry who went out and insulted the intelligence of the troops, thereby torpedoing his own 2008 presidential candidacy. His statement includes these words: "This disgusting attack from Rush Limbaugh, cheerleader for the chicken hawk wing of the far right is an insult to American troops." I was not talking, as Contessa Brewer said here, about the anti-war movement generally. I was talking about one soldier with that phony soldier comment, Jesse MacBeth. They had exactly what I'm going to play for you. It's Michael J. Fox all over again. Media Matters had the transcript. But they selectively choose what they want to make their point. It runs about three minutes and 13 seconds, the entire transcript, in context, that led to this so-called controversy.

RUSH ARCHIVE: It's not possible intellectually to follow these people.

CALLER: No, it's not. And what's really funny is they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and spout to the media.

RUSH: The phony soldiers.

CALLER: The phony soldiers. If you talk to any real soldier and they're proud to serve, they want to be over in Iraq, they understand their sacrifice and they're willing to sacrifice for the country.

RUSH: They joined to be in Iraq.

RUSH: It's frustrating and maddening, and why they must be kept in the minority. I want to thank you, Mike, for calling. I appreciate it very much.

Here is a Morning Update that we did recently, talking about fake soldiers. This is a story of who the left props up as heroes. They have their celebrities and one of them was Army Ranger Jesse MacBeth. Now, he was a "corporal." I say in quotes. Twenty-three years old. What made Jesse MacBeth a hero to the anti-war crowd wasn't his Purple Heart; it wasn't his being affiliated with post-traumatic stress disorder from tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. No. What made Jesse MacBeth, Army Ranger, a hero to the left was his courage, in their view, off the battlefield, without regard to consequences. He told the world the abuses he had witnessed in Iraq, American soldiers killing unarmed civilians, hundreds of men, women, even children. In one gruesome account, translated into Arabic and spread widely across the Internet, Army Ranger Jesse MacBeth describes the horrors this way: "We would burn their bodies. We would hang their bodies from the rafters in the mosque."


Now, recently, Jesse MacBeth, poster boy for the anti-war left, had his day in court. And you know what? He was sentenced to five months in jail and three years probation for falsifying a Department of Veterans Affairs claim and his Army discharge record. He was in the Army. Jesse MacBeth was in the Army, folks, briefly. Forty-four days before he washed out of boot camp. Jesse MacBeth isn't an Army Ranger, never was. He isn't a corporal, never was. He never won the Purple Heart, and he was never in combat to witness the horrors he claimed to have seen. You probably haven't even heard about this. And, if you have, you haven't heard much about it. This doesn't fit the narrative and the template in the Drive-By Media and the Democrat Party as to who is a genuine war hero. Don't look for any retractions, by the way. Not from the anti-war left, the anti-military Drive-By Media, or the Arabic websites that spread Jesse MacBeth's lies about our troops, because the truth for the left is fiction that serves their purpose. They have to lie about such atrocities because they can't find any that fit the template of the way they see the US military. In other words, for the American anti-war left, the greatest inconvenience they face is the truth.
