Rush Limbaugh does not represent America

You boisterous, blubbering, buffoon. How dare you attack the integrity of military personnel for voicing their opinion. They who have put aside their desire to live a comfortable civilian life with their family and friends to serve their country only to have an overly opinionated, self-important, blowhard such yourself condemn them for having an opinion, deserve better than your callous, unthinking attack on their character.

It might come as some surprise, sir, but your very narrow view of the right to free speech extends far beyond you and because you can so easily condemn others for exercising their right goes to illustrate the danger your ilk presents to this country. You think your opinion is the only one that matters in all aspects of American life and politics.

I condemn this war and the sneaky, lying, underhanded way in which we were forced into it but I am proud of every individual who has proven their willingness to answer the call to defend our great nation and their brothers in uniform despite the detestable actions of the spineless, deceitful, coward who is placed in command of them through no other qualification than because he sits in the presidents office.

Since you are so fond of casting your opinion of others I am interested in hearing what your opinion is of Americans who weasel their way out of military duty? Or, once they are in the military, do not show up for duty? Keep in mind that your beloved president refused to show up for his National Guard duty for a period of approximately one year in the early '70s to avoid service in Vietnam. Does this fact change your opinion of him now?

Will you so eagerly condemn him as a “phony soldier”? Since you are unlikely to say it yourself, allow me, George W. Bush is the true definition of a “phony soldier”.

He had the nerve to fabricate a photo opportunity, on an aircraft carrier no less, so he could wear a military uniform that he does not deserve to wear and I did not hear you once call him a “phony soldier”.

By blindly accepting George W. Bush as an honorable, legitimate commander in chief you have locked yourself into a very narrow and dismal view of what a true leader is and this makes you a sad individual indeed.

And what about your military record, Mr. Limbaugh? What qualifies you to say anything derogatory about our constitutions' defenders?

You have sullied the name of every military person who has ever served for this country with your thoughtless and demeaning comment. You must know that very few soldiers ever really want to go to war. You have to know that every decent one of them suffered psychological damage for having killed another human being or witnessed their brother’s death in this senseless, ill-conceived war.

You cut quite the ridiculous image sitting back in your wide, comfortable chair in that air conditioned radio booth sucking on those ugly, nasty cancer causing cigars condemning much better human beings than you will ever hope to aspire to be. And you do this all under the banner of ‘Excellence in Broadcasting’? You great twit.

Senator Harry Reid and others are wrong in looking to condemn Rush Limbaugh for his remarks and should back off because this is outside their purview. Their efforts are transparently political and they are treading dangerously close to trampling on a citizens right to free speech. They should know better than to go down this road.

But you, sir, should search deep inside your soul and try to find the decency to apologize for your unfounded remarks.
