Fake war hero Tom Harkin smears Rush Limbaugh

By Michelle Malkin • October 1, 2007 04:46 PM

Is there any doubt that Tom Harkin is a MoveOn.org Democrat?

None. None at all.

Harkin on the Senate floor:

Well, I don’t know. Maybe he was just high on his drugs again. I don’t know whether he was or not. If so, he ought to let us know. But that shouldn’t be an excuse.

Why is Harkin counter-attacking so viciously?

Maybe this has something to do with it:

Isntapundit flashback: TOM HARKIN, FAKE WAR HERO.

[Republican Red]

Sen. Harkin on Senate Floor: 'Maybe Limbaugh was high on drugs again'...

[rocksblues]

Mark Levin talking about this right now.

[Man50D]

These attacks by the socialist demorats should boost Rush’s ratings.

[bolobaby]

A thing of beauty.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

I’m an on and off Rush fan; I think for the most part he’s extremely insightful. He’s a tad arrogant, but he merits it. I simply do not understand what the Dems think they will gain by attacking him. He’s more articulate and wildly more popular than any of them and has a much wider audience. This is like Iran labeling the CIA a terrorist organization.

[roses of sharon]

Lame.

[Para-Ord.45]

Thing is , people believe Harkin even though the Big Lie that he was a combat pilot over North Vietnam.

Another fake combat soldier defending phony soldiers.

Is Harkin on the crack-pipe again ?

[Yardstick]

He’s a tad arrogant,

A lot of that is just him joshin'.

[Michael.SF.]

From the link:

Democrats, in addition to my tagline, really hate people with good memories.

[ovrtaxt]

This stupid little stunt is going to backfire bigtime.

[puroresu]

Rush needs to be alerted that Harkin is a fraud.

[BallyBill]

Harkin is lucky.

He doesn't need drugs to hallucinate about Viet Nam and act like a whacked out moron.

[JNL]

And Media Matters hits as well....sometimes I swear they all get together and manufacture controversies.

The whole thing is a he said she said lot of nothing.

I swear that Iran could test a nuclear bomb tommorow and the news would read

Paage 1: Britney has lipsuction, Rush say’s all liberals suck and Media Matters tends not to agree.

Page 36: Iran succesfully test nuclear weapon, turns it eye toward US.

[Soul Seeker]

Just mentioned this in another thread.

We now know why Harkin is whining, he is one of the phony soldiers! Now we know why he’s personalized this to such a degree.

He emphasizes with the “Jesse’s” of the world because he was one.

So, Senator, did you happen to run into Kerry in cambodia?

[OSHA]

I’m sure that the phony soldier Harkin and phony patriot Reid will get their chance to amplify and clarify their comments on the Sunday shows when they are not able to hide behind the speech and debate clause.

[Ronin]

Ye Gads!!!

I never knew this!

What a moron!

I hope Rush goes after him tooth and nail.

[indylindy]

How can anyone forget this fool at the Paul Wellstone Memorial debacle standing there look like the biggest fool ever chanting “ Do it for Paul, Do it for Paul”.

He could only wish he could blame that goofy display on drugs. No real man would want to admit he actually meant it after that display!

[Chuck54]

bttt

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Rush, and Hannity and Levin need to know and expose what Harkin and Kerry did in 1983-84 to support the Marxist Sandinistas in Nicaragua. They tried to buy them time so that the Congress would cut off aid to the freedomfighters, which they did.
Then Comrade Ortega, Harkin/Kerry’s buddy, went to Moscow for a $200 million arms deal. Congress came back and reinstated the aid to the freedomfighters who fought the reds to a standstill and were making serious inroads against them. Ortega was ousted in the free elections that the freedomfighters made possible.

But the bastard is back again and forming new alliances with Iran and Chavez and Cuba. Once a red, always a red, and that includes Harkin (Kerry thinks he was in Nicaragua before he wasn’t in Nicaragua. Too much Vietnamese rice wine, this boy).

Harkin has a long record of supporting communist fronts and causes, from the Hanoi Lobby to the Sandinista Lobby, and every red cause inbetween. It is in the public record, and you can find some in the 1970’s issues of Human Events, The Pink Sheet on the Left/American Sentinel, the Washington Inquirer, etc., many of which I wrote for them.

Also see the very important book, “The Covert Cadre” by S. Stephen Powell, about the red Institute for Policy Studies, which features the Harkin/Kerry Sandinistas support operations. If you can, email these sections to Rush, et. al.

[ANGGAPO]

If Harkin ever flashes a ribbon that he has not earned he can go to jail. Wonder if he knows that?

[longtermmemmory]

This is like Ted Kennedy listening to Anita Hill testimony...

[Elle Bee]

er-a

sounds like Teddy

.

[Past Your Eyes]

That is just funny as hell!! I love it!

[NC28203]

This is nothing. Wait until Hillary is president and she can just call Rush an enemy combatant and throw him in a military jail for few years.

[VR-21]

Here's one of my favorite pictures of Harkin.

[Freedom4US]

Bingo!

A big part of leftist dogma depends on the mass of people entirely unaware of “how things used to be”; or propagandized (read brainwashed) ala public and higher education. There’s a reason schools are churning out so many brain-dead drones, it’s not by accident. Of course, when good/smart/honest/compassionate people become irate aka “reactionary” (as intended) they are identified for further attention, ridicule, marginalization, etc.

[Shermy]

Funny, but nothing beats Ted Kennedy complaining about waterboarding.

[lonevoice]

Holy cow, I'd never heard this before! It sure offers a lot of insight into the motivations behind phony soldier Tom Harkin making such despicable comments about Rush.

Many thanks to Michelle Malkin for bringing this back into public attention. She's been doing such good work, and just getting better all the time.

[Michael.SF.]

Do you remember what a reporterette once said while on AF-1 regarding Bill Clinton and his policy on abortion?

Well, I hope you do, because that is they way both Harkin and the John Kerry Look-a-like (to Harkin's left)are looking at Ortega

[353FMG]

“Duke” Cunningham in jail deserves more respect than Harkin in the Senate.

[TexasCajun]

Democrats are going to loathe the day Algore invented the Internet! I can't wait to make some calls and fax Harkins lies around tomorrow.

[eleni121]

Hot air bozo Harkin: “...One year [I] was in Vietnam. I was flying F-4s and F-8s on combat air patrols and photo-reconnaissance support missions.”

story
It turns out that Mr. Harkin had not seen combat nor had he ever served or been in Vietnam; he was stationed in Japan ferrying aircraft to and from repair depots.-

[No Truce With Kings]

Well at least we now know why Tom Harkin was so upset about Limbaugh’s phony soldiers statement.

For Harkin, it’s *personal.*

[RetiredArmy]

I’m an on and off Rush fan; I think for the most part he’s extremely insightful. He’s a tad arrogant, but he merits it. I simply do not understand what the Dems think they will gain by attacking him. He’s more articulate and wildly more popular than any of them and has a much wider audience.

You answered your own question in your question and answer paragraph.

[TexasCajun]

"I spend Christmas in Cambodia with John Kerry. "

[rocksblues]

Calling Senator Harry 'Phony Patriot' Reid is now not available. Pressing 2 to leave a voice mail gets the mail box is full, Pressing 1 to speak to a representative gets the same message.

Harry "You are a disgrace"!

CNN article about it.

[stylin19a]

good memories maybe....good googling makes liars of us all.

[VR-21]

"...and the John Kerry Look-a-like (to Harkin's left)are looking at Ortega."

That's no look alike (though I think you were kidding), and come to think of it, he's to the left of Ortega too.

[Michael.SF.]

LOL. Good point!

[True Republican Patriot]

Two Goofy Commies and a Real Terrorist!!! harkin looks like he ready to bend down and kiss Ortega’s butt. JFingK
looks like the Traitor he is and always will be and a true Gigolo to boot.

[Michael.SF.]

That's no look alike

John Kerry is to Harkin's right in the picture, and the women on Harkin's left resembles Kerry.

[VR-21]

Ah, got it. Little slow on the uptake.

[True Republican Patriot]

Harkin must have been a TERRIBLE Pilot too only be permitted to fly Ferry Trips, Gosh thats as bad as going in a 2nd LT and coming out several years later with the same 2nd Lt rank!

[ontap]

Hey guys! Don’t forget it was Tom Harkin standing behind Howard Dean when he made th famous EEEooooowwwwwww!

[stylin19a]

Don't forget tht Harkin was Rather's butt boy on the "fake but accurate" story. Harkin still hasn't apologized to the President of The United States. (note the last paragraph)

REPORTERS ARE ALSO LOOKING at staff and associates of Sen. Tom Harkin, who enthusiastically held a press conference on Thursday morning using the forged documents as the tent pole for attacks against President Bush. Harkin called Bush a "liar."

"Harkin has been pushing this story for a while," says the CBS producer. "Not this specific story, but the 'Bush is a liar about his record' story. His people seemed particularly interested in making sure they could keep their boss up to date on what was going on."

That Harkin was the individual selected to be the attack dog on this particular issue was an interesting one, give that Harkin himself has a checkered history about telling the truth about his involvement in the Vietnam War.

[RoseofTexas]

I was listening to RUSH that day, he didn't NOT call our military phoney soldiers!! Those two BASTARDS are completely out of their minds! To insult and belittle RUSH on OUR senate floor...I'M SO PISSED I'm seeing RED!! What the hell were THEY smoking??

[OKIEDOC]

Little Tommy Harking is nothing.

Nothing (=)equals a turd with all the Shiite scraped off.

[Michael.SF.]

Harkin must have been a TERRIBLE Pilot too only be permitted to fly Ferry Trips,

Is that kind of like being the John Gauchnaur of fighter pilots?

By that I mean anyone who qualifies to be a fighter pilot has to be a pretty damn good pilot, specially when compared to those who washed out.
