Senator Demands Limbaugh Be Dropped from Armed Forces Network

Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 10 March 2012 | John Semmens

Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich) demanded that the Armed Forces Network stop carrying Rush Limbaugh’s show. “Our troops shouldn’t be exposed to the barrage of criticism of their Commander-in-Chief that is spewed out by Limbaugh on a daily basis,” Levin said. “It foments disobedience and disloyalty.”

As evidence, Levin cited Marine Sergeant Gary Stein’s Facebook page called Armed Forces Tea Party Patriots. “The Tea Party is a threat to our government,” Levin maintained. “Men like Sergeant Stein may be called upon to suppress this threat. Yet, this Facebook page raises serious questions about where his loyalties may be.”

The Senator specifically took issue with Stein’s call for fellow armed service members to refuse to follow unlawful orders. “How is some grunt or jarhead supposed to know which orders are unlawful?” Levin asked. “We can’t have individual soldiers making up their own minds. They just need to obey their superiors.”

Levin was unmoved by the argument that Nazi troops who committed atrocities in World War II professed to be “just following orders.” “In war both sides engage in questionable deeds,” Levin observed. “Winners get to write the post-war rules and history. Losers can be made to pay for their crimes. The only thing our troops should be thinking about is how to make sure they are on the winning side when it’s all over.”

Unfortunately these days, with marxist commies like Carl Levin in Congress, satire isn’t funny anymore.

Oh Levin, you’re such a hypocrite. You’ve got liberal Dems saying worse things about Republicans every day. You may not like it, but it’s called free speech.

“The Tea Party is a threat to our government,” Levin maintained.

Get used to it you communist bastard! We are in it for the long haul.

Hey, John, you had me going there for a minute, being as how it is not unconceivable that Levin would actually say such things.

Satire is becoming almost undistinguishable from reality.

Good one.

Senator Levin, you ignorant slut!

“Our troops shouldn’t be exposed to the barrage of criticism of their Commander-in-Chief that is spewed out by Limbaugh on a daily basis,” Levin said. “It foments disobedience and disloyalty.”

Disloyalty to a red diaper doper baby Marxist who rammed open homosexuality into the US military ranks?

And it's Rush who made them "disloyal" to America?

What of the Congress critters who called our troops war criminals before trial?

Screw these commie bastards.

John, looks like you’ve listened to Michigan’s Senator a few times. Sure sounds like a quote he would say.

At least this is something he would think.
