Hmmmm ... now the lefty bin Laden Fan Club is accusing us of being unpatriotic.
Seattle! No Christmas trees in the airport and a pi$$-poor excuse for a newspaper. Seattle: Where loons meet the ocean.
Isn't that exactly, EXACTLY, what has happened?
in which he called military men who opposed the Iraq war "phony soldiers"
Somehow, I doubt that this clown actually listened to the program in question, and heard those words.
Another version of BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome). These lefties need to read and listen a little more closely instead of imagining what conservatives are saying and doing. Just because they wish they had said something does not make it so. All we can do is pat them on the head and tell them to go out and play nice.
Did the author Greg James serve in the U.S. Armed Forces? Because according to his logic, if he did not serve, then he is not entitled to an opinion either.
What is the point of this article on FR?
By the way, welcome to FR.
>>The recent remarks by Rush Limbaugh in which he called military men who opposed the Iraq war “phony soldiers”
The Left has no argument on this issue, so they resort to the Big Lie, as usual. Rush clearly stated in the segement in which the “phony soldier” comment was made, that it was about guys like Jesse Macbeth. Add Scott Thomas Beauchamp and several others to the list.
He also doesn't realize that you do not have to be in uniform to fight America's enemies. There are plenty to go around.
Also, using his reasoning, he has never served as President of the United States, so he should just STFU on matters of national security.

I see. Bin Laden good. Limbaugh bad. OK.
Are all the phones, radios and computers down in Seattle?
Greg James is a clueless fool.
"Based on this Paper's view that mandatory military service is required to be eligible for Commander in Chief (which we ignored from 1992 through 2000) the Seattle Post-Intelligencer endorses Democrat Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Biden, Biden, Kucinich, Richardson, and Dodd (he's disqualified because he did a "Bush" hideout in the Reserves during Nam - his Daddy was a Senator). Vote None of the Above in '08."
And the left continues to mouth the big lie!
Where’s the barf alert?
Stuid is as stupid does...and this guy is stupid
Hey idiot, Limbaugh was talking about an actual “phony soldier” who spun tales about Iraq. He wasn’t talking about military men and women who disagree with the war. If you can’t get that straight, we can safely ignore everything you write.
Doesn't Post-Intelligencer mean After-intelligence....
They have no clue what patriotism is. Talk about alternate reality....they are projecting really bad.
He is somewhat right in one area. Support for the war would likely drop dramatically overnight if people other than those currently directly impacted - servicemen and their families - actually had to endure any sacrifice to continue the war. If taxes were raised to fund it or items were rationed to support it or conscription was enacted to fill the military to fight it you would see a whole lot of people change their tune.
