If you live here in he US, you realize that the majority of the population, who have never traveled outside America, yet believe it is God's gift to the world, get their news and information from Conservative TV (Fox News) and Conservative talk radio.
The worst example of this is radio chat show, blow hard, Rush Limbaugh, who may have just bitten off more than he can chew when he smeared U.S. troops who support a withdrawal policy in Iraq, calling them “phony soldiers.” Criticism from Democrats soon followed. VoteVets.org’s Jon Soltz, an Iraq vet, went first: “In what universe is a guy who never served even close to being qualified to judge those who have worn the uniform? Rush Limbaugh has never worn a uniform in his life — not even one at Mickey D’s — and somehow he’s got the moral standing to pass judgment on the men and women who risked their lives for this nation, and his right to blather smears on the airwaves? … Get the point here, Rush? You weren’t just flat out wrong, you offended a majority of those of us who actually had the courage to go to Iraq and serve, while you sat back in your nice studio, coming up with crap like this.”
I shan't hold my breath waiting for any criticism from the Republicans, even though they all just voted in favor of a resolution stating that they would condemn “any effort to attack the honor and integrity” of “all members of the United States Armed Forces.” Sometimes I wonder why the f*ck I live here... Then I remember the money. I am, after all, an Ad Ho!
