The Democrats paint themselves in box with Limbaugh criticism

Don Surber:

“Our troops are fighting and dying to bring to others the freedoms that many take for granted.” — Senate Plurality Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada.

Ah Democrats. Too clever by half, again. In denouncing Rush Limbaugh, Reid had to admit that in Iraq: “Our troops are fighting and dying to bring to others the freedoms that many take for granted.”

This is the same Harry Reid who in April pronounced the war in Iraq was lost.

Reid and the Democrats have a real big problem. They sold their souls to billionaires like Wes Boyd and George Soros who finance MoveOn and other front groups for rich white socialists. The Betray Us ad backfired. A poll showed 58% of the American people were disgusted with the ad, only 23% supported it.

So they manufactured a controversy. Rush Limbaugh called out the fake soldier Jesse MacBeth — who was hailed by the left as an antiwar Iraqi vet who reported wild tales of war atrocities. Rush called the guy a phony soldier. The left seized on it.

Now Reid is using his position as a Senate leader to lean on Rush’s employer to fire him. Free speech? Lefties oppose it unless it contains anti-Americanism.

...

Next will see vets who oppose the war claim that Jesse MacBeth is one of them and they will embrace a phony soldier as one of them in attacks on Rush Limbaugh.

Jules Crittenden says Limbaugh's statement has gotten Reid and Democrats to admit that we are fighting for freedom in Iraq, something they have been denying for months.

Neal Boortz talks about Media Mutters misrepresentations and fraudulent failures to disclose.

Michael Goldfarb says Democrats are attacking Limbaugh to distract from their failed surrender agenda.
