We should inform him! Ah, so he didn’t hear it or read the context either, so he doesn’t know that Rush was referring to the non-soldiers who have faked their service records. We should inform him!

If Mr. Limbaugh made the remark he is reported to have made, it reflects very poorly on him and not the objects of his offensive comment. I expect most Americans, whatever their political views, will have the same reaction. He would be well advised to retract it and apologize. Seems Mccain can’t understand either:

You're trying to draw a connection between Rush's use of "phony soldiers" and this idea of soldiers who oppose the war when there is NO SUCH CONNECTION. Because that's not what he said. As for your last comment, Rush is correct to point out that this man has been lied to about what Rush said. What a shame that the organization would use a war hero to promote an agenda of lies.

They've put together a TV ad that takes aim at me. This ad's going to run on Fox News, on CNN, it's going to run on WMAL radio in Washington, $60,000 ad buy that's going to run, I think, on our local West Palm Beach station down here. And there's a man identified as Brian McCoff -- McGough -- it's M-C-G-O-U-G-H, I'm not sure how he pronounces it, McGo, McGuff -- I haven't watched the ad. He discusses his service in Iraq, the wounds he suffered there, and he says to me in this ad, "Until you have the guts to call me a 'phony soldier' to my face, stop telling lies about my service." You know, this is such a blatant use of a valiant combat veteran, lying to him about what I said, then strapping those lies to his belt, sending him out via the media in a TV ad to walk into as many people as he can walk into. This man will always be a hero to this country with everyone. Whoever pumped him full of these lies about what I said and embarrassed him with this ad has betrayed him. They're not hurting me, they're betraying this soldier. Now, unless he actually believes what he's saying, in which case it's just so unfortunate and sad when the truth of what I said is right out there to be learned.

Which goes counter to your assertion of "There is no indication at all that he was making a comment about soldiers in Iraq." Breakdown where my logic is "phony" as I did with yours. I spoke the full truth, you strung together unrelated conversations in order to provide cover to someone who criticized soldiers.
