How was Rush wrong for exposing a phony soldier?

Question

The guy never made it past boot. He claimed to have fought in Iraq but never made it past 40 days.

Why do liberals twist Limbaughs words to blanket the entire military?

Answer 1

That wouldn't be wrong at all. I wore the uniform for 20 years, served honorably, and posers REALLY irritate me. If being exposed for the frauds that they are hurts their feelings, oh well.

It's theft. They are stealing the credit and honor rightfully due to those who served faithfully and well.

Answer 2

Because they wanted to take the focus off the General (betray us) Patraeus ad. They knew full well that ad, George Soros, moveon.org had finally been exposed. And while everyone was talking about Rush Limbaugh it took all focus off the other socialistic and communistic underground agendas they are currently working on for the defeat of this country and the liberties we have today.
They are focusing again against Rush to try to show positives for Hillary. If she came into the Presidential position we will all be marching to George Soros and his communist buddies tune, and America's great future will slowly die, to be replaced by restricted liberties, extremely high taxes, and a government controlling our lives. Which would mean: control smoking in and out of our homes, cars, and even outside. What we eat, drink, decisions on our health care, will give way to total government censorship.

And now the truth, the real truth about Jesse MacBeth that the Army has NO record of per Stars & Stripes!

Answer 3

I am pressed for time, so I won't read the other answers. The 'leaders of the Demos' , found a 'supporting vet' and rolled him out like presenting the new king his subjects. The only problem was, this "VET", was only in the service for about 45 days and then was " KICKED THE HELL OUT" with other than an honorable discharge. Mr. Limbaugh ( I only occasionally listen to him), supposedly found out about this 'phony vet' and announced this to the world. ONE HELL OF A RUCKUS HAS SINCE ENSUED, with some Dem leader "Prostitute Politician" taking the microphone and viciously attacking Mr. Limbaugh, for "denouncing and criticizing our American military hero's , how dare him to attack these fine brave men -x-x-x-x- blah, blah, blah !!!!!! No Mr. Limbaugh would be suspended within 2 1/2 minuets after coming onto y/a, by the believers in their 'second coming' matriarch.

Answer 4

First of all Rush never exposed anyone. ABC broke the story about the fake soldier long before Rush brought it to his show.
Secondly, Rush was fine is talking about the one guy who faked being a soldier and classifying him as a fake soldier. But he did not stop there. Rush clearly said in his show, not the 15 second edited version he played on AFN, that any soldier who does not support the war in Iraq is a 'phony soldier'. He then went on to lump into that phony solider category several Dems who actually had combat experience.
Finally, Rush can back pedal all he wants but it is clear to anyone that has listened to his full comments exactly what and to who he was referring. Rush should fess up, ackowledge he mis-spoke, and offer an apology to all US service men and women.

Answer 5

Hey dadw5boys:
You nutcases will believe anything that furthers your agenda, regardless of whther it's true or not. Proof? I got proof.

The soldier in question was a "hero" that the left managed to find: 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."

Washington native Jesse MacBeth, 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, briefly, for 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.

Answer 6

they will do whatever they can to destroy the one who points the spot light on them like the roaches they are.......and just for arguments sake...lets say that Rush DID say that all soldiers that was against the war were phony soldiers...doesn't he have the right to his opinion???..would that be any worse then a senator announcing to the world that we have lost the war???....freedom of speech is a two way street...not a one way street libs....

Answer 7

Because they want people to be against our military, so when he the fake soldier was outed, they began their name calling because they can'ty do anything else since they are for peace. Most people serving in our military are honorable men and women, but like in the civilian world, there are bad seeds and people want to judge the entire military based on these bad people.

Answer 8

Rush, Americas truth detector exposing a liar who has harmed our troops image!

Answer 9

Prove what you said about 40 days.
This is the 4th lame claim about the soldier who called his show.
PROVE IT.

Answer 10

He said soldiers, plural. The course of the conversation was such that the implication was any soldier whom does not agree with, or questions the war is a phony soldier. I read the transcript and listened to the audio.
