How in the world did he get hold of all of those medals? They are issued, not bought. Maybe he was wearing just the ribbons??

no doubt that this has been a burning issue for the dems for years.

i’ve heard for years my tv-moron, union neighbors complain “how does limbaugh get by with saying those things”?

I finally read “Atlas Shrugged” this year.

All I could think of—Ayn Rand was fifty years ahead of her time.

You need to add Jesse MacBeth to that list.

"...and then later in the day somebody from his office called our office. “We just found out that this is a smear, and Mitt will say this if he’s asked about it.” He hasn’t been asked about it, so his statement still stands.”

Thank you for "the rest of the story."
I heard Rush when he said that, but I didn't know the context.
I've since seen the actual wording of Mitt's spokesman's statement, though.

You would think someone who is trying his darnedest to be a conservative would choose a conservative spokesman, wouldn't you?

Or, at the very least, someone who does his homework, and isn't tone deaf.

You can buy them at any military clothing store on any base. Some of these clowns were in the military, but never achieved the heroism they lied about. So all they had to was be on base and purchase anything they wanted.

The only medal you cannot buy legally now is the Congressional Medal of Honor. The Stolen Valor Act, however, makes it a Federal crime to wear medals (any medal) you didn't earn.

You can also purchase medals and ribbons off the internet.

This was an ABC story just about 2 months ago.

ABC is now downplaying their previous stories on these phonies because it lends credence to what Limbaugh said.

If dems manage to muzzle Rush and talk radio, we can probably kiss the WH goodbye.

Actually, the only reason that there's been the slightest popular comeback of Conservatism has been directly because of Talk Radio. Leftists are completely aware of this, and they want to destroy conservative Talk Radio... They figure that if they can destroy it, that will be the end of conservatism in American politics in the future. So let me fix your post for you...

Your 84 y/o aunt = my 44 y/o sister.

There are some topics we simply can not go near. She is an irrational, emotion based, liberal completely void of any logical justification for her strongly voiced opinions. It is like she has a mental disease.
