NY Times Says Limbaugh ‘Latest Victim in War of Condemnation’; Steny Hoyer Newly Against Such Condemnations

Share article:

Tomorrow’s NY Times features an article describing Rush Limbaugh as the “Latest Victim” in the “War of Condemnation” following his characterization of Iraq War vets calling for a pull-out as “phony soldiers.” Limbaugh’s comment was made to his 14 million or so listeners across America and on Armed Forces Radio.

In the last graf of the Times piece, discussing whether or not the U.S. House will vote on a resolution to condemn Limbaugh — just as they voted to condemn MoveOn.org for asking whether Gen. Petraeus should better be described as “General Betray Us?” in a single Times ad (seen by millions, only due to the “Conservative” Media exploitation of it), Democratic House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is quoted thusly:

“I think, frankly, I would like to see us restrain ourselves in condemning through resolutions all of that with which we disagree,” Mr. Hoyer said. “I have a zillion resolutions that I could think of pursuing that objective.”

Well gosh golly gee willickers, Mr. Hoyer. Shouldn’t that have occurred to you before you allowed a vote on a resolution condemning MoveOn? A resolution, we should add, which you voted in favor of?!

P.S. Jane Hamsher is absolutely right. Limbaugh should be taken off of Armed Forces Radio immediately. What should be done with Hoyer is another question entirely.

    Hoyer should be taken off whatever drugs he’s on. He appears to be very slow on the uptake. Is it ADHD? What’s his doctor giving him?

    Thanks for the input “G. Jetson”!

    If you feel like offering any evidence for the “liar” part, we’d welcome it. Without that, of course, we’ll have to assume you got nothin’. But have a great day!

    You are truly a colossial example of someone not know what they are talking about…have you ever even CONSIDERED telling the truth and possibly even taking the quote IN CONTEXT? Grow up and smell the ratings…Limbaugh is king of talk, and you commie-libs can’t stand it.

    CWQ –

    In context. Hmm…Let’s see. Which context? The context in which he actually said it? Specifically:

    LIMBAUGH: There’s a lot more than that that they don’t understand. They can’t even — if — the next guy that calls here, I’m gonna ask him: Why should we pull — what is the imperative for pulling out? What’s in it for the United States to pull out? They can’t — I don’t think they have an answer for that other than, “Well, we just gotta bring the troops home.”

    CALLER 2: Yeah, and, you know what —

    LIMBAUGH: “Save the — keep the troops safe” or whatever. I — it’s not possible, intellectually, to follow these people.

    CALLER 2: 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 talk to the media.

    LIMBAUGH: The phony soldiers.

    CALLER 2: The phony soldiers. If you talk to a real soldier, they are proud to serve. They want to be over in Iraq. They understand their sacrifice, and they’re willing to sacrifice for their country.

    LIMBAUGH: They joined to be in Iraq. They joined —

    CALLER 2: A lot of them — the new kids, yeah.

    LIMBAUGH: Well, you know where you’re going these days, the last four years, if you signed up. The odds are you’re going there or Afghanistan or somewhere.

    CALLER 2: Exactly, sir.

    Or the backwards-engineered context in which he’s trying to save his hide now?

    Let us know! And have a great day, CWQ. Dittos!

    Hi Brad,

    Haven’t commented for awhile. Still read your grat blog of course! 😀

    I just had to comemnt on this! LOL

    I think there should be a resolution to oficially change the GOP name to Hypocrits-R-US. (Though… it’s a toss up between that and Gang-Of-Perverts)! Maybe both? LOL

    Anyway, Thanks for all the hard work you and the gang put in to keep us all informed about the truth.

    Cheers! 😀

    Hi Brad,
    Among the many theses thrown at the wall today by “The latest victim”:
    1/Who ME, I would never do such a thing.
    2/Well, I did do it, pro bono, to disrupt the Congress in honour of Free Speach.
    3/It’s all part of the “Billary Plot” against poor little ME.
    4/Waxman better watch his ass, I have lawyers!
    When Lush Limbos there is no telling how low he can go.
