We Get Letters

A fellow Marine sent an email to Senator Robert Casey, excoriating him for joining the litany of those seeking to make political hay as they lie about Rush Limbaugh's "phony soldiers" remark.

Here is the Senator's reply:


"Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding talk radio host Rush Limbaugh’s recent comments. I appreciate hearing from all Pennsylvanians about this important issue.

Mr. Limbaugh referred to veterans who have spoken out against the war in Iraq as “phony soldiers” in the wake of bipartisan amendments recently passed by the Senate and the House that strongly condemned any effort to attack the honor and integrity of members of the United States Armed Forces. He essentially condemned these soldiers for disagreeing with him and President Bush about the war, and for exercising their right to free speech.

While Mr. Limbaugh claims that his comments were taken out of context, he is incorrect and his argument lacks credibility. To support his claim, he purported to air the segment in question, but in fact edited the clip, omitting most of the discussion that occurred regarding his “phony soldiers” comment.

I signed a letter to Mark Mays, the CEO of Clear Channel Communications, Inc. calling on him to publicly repudiate Mr. Limbaugh’s comments about veterans. I believe that we must consistently condemn any slander against our veterans, from individuals and groups at either end of the political spectrum.

Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about this or any other matter of importance to you."

The libs continue to lie, and its a shame that Limbaugh is a public figure because it'd be fun stuff to watch him sue their skirts off.

Senator Robert Casey. Remember the name. Come time to clean house, traitors such as this deserve to go first.
