Michelle Malkin summarizes the faux outrage from the left over Rush Limbaugh’s comments about phony soldiers:
It’s hard to see the left as defenders of the honor of our military, considering how rarely they come to the defense of our men and women in uniform. Case in point, the member of Congress who has slandered the U.S. Marines and refuses to apologize. But instead of running into a lefty buzzsaw of indignation, they regard him as a hero. Malkin also provides the text of the resolution that Congressman Udall (D-CO) apparently intends to introduce to criticize Limbaugh for his comments. While House Democrats would love to play ‘tit-for-tat,’ it’s probably not a political winner to bring this resolution to the floor. House Republicans are likely to call them hypocrites for not addressing the comments of Congressman Murtha, and for passing legislation to crack down on the serious problem of phony soldiers, only then to censure a talk show host who brought it up. Further, it’s guaranteed to improve Limbaugh’s ratings and raise more money for Republicans–as the MoveOn debate did. Also check out Hot Air, where Bryan addresses the attempt by liberals to get Rush Limbaugh dropped from Armed Forces radio. Bryan makes a valid point: what do our men and women in the Armed Services think about Limbaugh’s comments? This is one area where their opinion should be guiding.
