Rush Limbaugh and "phony soldiers"

Quite a lot of discussion on the cable news show about Rush Limbaugh's remark on his radio show, calling anyone who disagrees with the Bush Iraq policy a "phony soldier." He since has tried to spin it, saying that he meant real phony soldiers like Jesse Macbeth (whose blog entries about actions in Iraq turned out to be completely fabricated). But Rush wasn't talking about Macbeth and his ilk at the time, and he's gone on to repeat his charge that anyone who disagrees with the war isn't a real soldier (he also said you aren't a real Republican if you disagree with the war, but that is another story altogether). This writer on Huffington Post presents a searing rebuttal, and several people on news shows have pointed out that Congress, rather than arguing over MoveOn.org and Rush and their comments regarding the war, should spend their time discussing the ACTUAL WAR. Hmmm.
