Limbaugh Auctions Democrat Letter For Troops
Rush Limbaugh gave Democrats a lesson in creative warfare, patriotism and fund-raising all at the same time by acquiring the original letter sent to ClearChannel by Democrats demanding that he be punished for what they claim were anti-military remarks and today put that letter up for auction on ebay to raise money for his favorite military charity.
At the time of this post (less than 12 hours of auction) the highest bidder is already over $15,600.00...(updates below)
Rush had used the term "phoney soldiers" (after seeing an ABC report) to describe phoney soldiers like Jesse Macbeth who was in fact a "phoney soldier", having falsely claimed to have served in Iraq and Afghanistan and also claimed to have witnessed horrible war crimes committed by other soldiers. In reality Macbeth washed out of bootcamp after 45 days and had never served a tour anywhere or witnessed anything. However he and other phoney soldiers have been used by the news media Democrats and the left as a weapon against the war, President Bush and the military. That is fact, not up for debate.
i.e. "Phoney Soldier".
The Phoney Democrats, acting on "bad intel" from extreme leftwing groups like mediamatters and moveon.org without checking the facts or transcript themselves of what Rush had actually said, "jumped the shark" by condemning Limbaugh (a private citizen) on the Senate floor and sending the letter to Clearchannel demanding Rush be censored ...all based on a lie in the first place.
At 1:30 Eastern time Friday October the 12th, Limbaugh fired a major shot into the hull of the Democrat boat by putting the original letter signed by leading Democrats up for auction on ebay with the proceeds going directly to the very same military that Democrats claim Rush called phoney.
Let's see, Democrats called our top General a liar and they called Rush a troop basher.
Rush takes a Democrat lie, autographed by Democrats and auctions it off on ebay to raise money for the families of military.
You decide who is the phoney.
Ahhh... the irony and the beauty of a well thought-out response to an ill-advised, poorly researched, intentionally hurtful ...LIE.
Nice job Rush... I hope it brings in a $million.

FINAL UPDATE?
Harry Reid has decided...errr announced that he has been behind this thing from the get-go in cooperation with "Mr May" (actually it's Mr. Mays) of Clearchannel and he wants everyone to contribute to his fundraiser for the military!?!?
Not to be outdone, Globalgore quickly announce that HE invented the term "phoney" in the first place and deserves the credit for raising money for the military charity.
Sen John (served in Vietnam) Kerry replied that HE was a "phoney" long before Globalgore and doesn't have his war medals to prove it... plus, his picture hangs as a hero in a Communist N Vietnam museum to this day and thus he deserves the credit for HIS plan to raise money for the military.
Stepping in front of the camera, former President Jimmaahh Cawtahh, considered by most to be the worst President in US history and a miserable failure in terms of policy and results... proclaimed that he is ultimate authority on this subject since he now thinks he was the BEST President in US history and spends all his time criticizing the current President. So in reality he is the biggest "phoney" and this entire fund raiser to support the military was his idea.
And not to be outdone...etc. etc. to be cont'd ?

Leave it to the Big Guy!
This is just priceless, rubbing Harry Reid's nose in it, while proving Rush's complete support of all soldiers, even the ones who hold different views on the war.
The phony soldier hoopla begun by MoveOn and Media Matters will be their worst blunder among many.
I hope Rush raises millions with this letter too!
I don't like Rush, but I've got to give it to the man...this was a brilliant move.
I don't listen daily to Rush, but this 'phony soldier' nonsense is an overt attempt to shut down talk radio. Talk radio is responsible for opening up the citizens's eyes to the empty suits of the Dems. in Washington.
At 1 pm, Sunday, the Clear Channel has a $41,000 bid, at Ebay. Good news!
Over $40k and Rush hasn't even been on the air to promote it yet! (except for his final 30 mins on Friday).
He needs to stick this in the Democrats back and start twisting it this week.
I wonder how much Billary or Harry reid is willing to spend to get that letter back and out of public view?
LOL... Hey, maybe Okiefunk, Sooner Thought and the rest can take up a collection and buy the Dem's out of this mess.
Bid for the Clear Channel letter from Dingy Harry now up to $117,300, Thursday, 17 Oct. When you get the letter, Red, can I come see it in person? Barbara Boxer's signature thereon indicates that she's a split personality. !!
$851,100.00 and still going... sure your you can come and see it, but it's that Halliburton Briefcase that I want most!
Back in the late 80's I had a (knockoff) Halliburton case.... wore it out.
