   Looks like a who’s who list of sellouts for the United States of America. A lot of names on that list look familiar as they are always for more gun control on law abiding gun owners, less immigration reform so that we can pay taxes to subsidize non-citizens for the great cause of mankind in a utopian dream world, and consistently undermining the troops at any cost.

   It’s a shame that these twits even get into politics and are running our country. God help us all from them.

    I have never felt comfortable with Mr. (Gen) Clark. He appeared to be an egocentric as* and thank God he wasn’t given more responsibility within the Armed Forces. That he would attempt to have Mr Limbaugh thrown off AFR is a signal event which justifies those of us with a “Low Places” view of his character.

    So, let’s say that the Dems manage to get Rush off the air. They can congratulate themselves, “one conservative down.” How many more conservatives must they off before they have an equal amount of conservatives and liberals on the air to complete their diabolical fairness doctrine plans?
    …
    Ya, that’s what I thought. Perhaps, Harry Reid should re-think this one. At that pace it’ll be a very long time before he can take over the world. By the way, if Reid is the Brain, would Harkin be Pinky?

    If the Dems want us to truly believe they have the soldiers interest above all else then they should go to them (the soldiers) and ask whether to keep Rush on the Armed Forces Network. They won’t do that because they’d lose again all around. I bet 90% of the men and women we have serving us greatly appreciate Rush to a very great extent. This is what the Dems fear. They are a minority, they know it, and they are showing it by their childess behavior. Soon they shall go away…..

    Change the heading to “Keep Rush Limbaugh on Armed Forces Radio!!” and click on the link above to send your feelings to

    And here’s my main body that I included if you wish to cut and paste.

    –cut and paste—cut and paste—-

    Rush Limbaugh has been an indispensable and supremely patriotic supporter of our American troops through his 19 years on his radio show. It was the troops who written to the Armed Forces Radio asking to include Rush Limbaugh into their radio program. Imagine that!

    It’s a fact.

    The “phony soldier” was in reference to Jessie MacBeth pretending to be a war hero (a la Harkin’s) and hence deserved the title “phony soldier,” noting the fact that he only lasted 40 days in boot camp before getting kicked out.

    The “phony soldiers” bit are all about these people who, as lying soldiers, will lie about themselves as a soldier by exaggerating their ranks, lie about the atrocities committed, or lie about being in a country never having visited before.

    Keep Rush Limbaugh on Armed Forces Radio!!

    Thank you for your consideration and patriotism.

    This is not governing; this is controlling. It is also about manipulating the outcome. People like Reid are scary because they are in positions of power (and control), and will stop at nothing to achieve the outcome they desire. Those without decency and integrity are in charge. No wonder they have to bribe their constituents to vote for them; they are unable to offer anything else, such as character, decency, and integrity.

    Harry, Tom and the rest of the 39 stooges who signed this stupid letter,

    Do you not realize that Rush’s comments were on the RADIO and that today those comments can be found on his WEBSITE which is on the INTERNET. You can read the transcripts or for those of you who wrestle with reading, you can listen to them. It’s very clear that Rush is talking about Jessie MacBeth and those like him. Give a listen. Do you think that the American public is so stupid that they wont check it out themselves and see that you’ve made the whole thing up? Despite the Main Street Media’s support of this lie and their pushing of it as truth we all have ears, most of us can read and thus we see clearly what a load it all is. Of all the things to go after Rush on being anti-military is absolutely the dumbest.

The means matter not to them, it’s the ends that matter. They know many Americans only hear the soundbites, and hope they will vote based on that.

    The MSM will not explain Rush’s comments in context because they are complicit. Have any played them on air? Printed transcripts? No, the crowd that cheered at the Seattle paper, and their comrades will do nothing that might interfere with the left’s attempts to censor the right.

    Last week, Rush Limbaugh called Americans who were never servicemembers and who make false claims “phony soldiers.”

    Rush Limbaugh’s show is aired on Armed Forces Radio, which is funded by taxpayers’ dollars. I remember in my time overseas, his show was very popular, if not the most popular.

    Individuals like Wesley Clark are falsifying accounts, or at best are negligent of the facts.

    As a member of Congress, you can prevent lying politicians from further disrespecting and censoring the voices of anyone on the military airwaves.

    Please Dump liars From Congress – to clean up that warren of political wind testing worms and dishonest pundits is something that will be done if you do not police yourselves. There was little outcry about the Petraeus ad, and then there is a manufactured tempest about a ‘taken out of context’ comment. Have you noticed that Congress has lower ratings than Bush?

Why are they so afraid to ask the men and women in the Armed Forces if they want Rush to be pulled off the airwaves? In fact, why don’t they ask them their opinion of Rush, what he said and how he thinks about them and treats them?

    Oh yeah…because they would have to admit how very, very wrong they are and that the Military loves Rush and does not want him removed. After all, they are the ones that got him placed there anyway.

    What business is it of any of these civilians as to what and who is on the AFR? None, that’s what. Nothing like people not invilved telling people who are what they can and can’t listen to or do. Then again, if they didn’t, there would be no Democrat party.

    What I really love, is how the Left has consistently claimed that Rush is “irrelavant” and a nobody. However, for the little nobody they claim he is, they sure spend a great deal of time, words, effort and money to repeatedly try to bring him down, disparrage him, refute him, and get him removed from the airwaves.

    This has been going on for almost 20 years. Do they really, honestly believe that after all this time, anyone will honestly believe what they say now, let alone have him removed from the airwaves? Did they honestly think that Clear Channel was going to do ANYTHING to Rush…their biggest money maker just because they said so and without any proof of their claims? Is this not further proof of their megolomania and paranoia all rolled into one?

    United Socialist State of America
    …………Washington…………
    ……….press release………..
    ……….Dec. 7, 2019…………
    The Glorious People’s Revolutionary Congress has finally rid our worker’s minds of the detestable capitalist running dog, Rush Limbaugh, enemy of the people.

    All radio devices will be jammed from 12-3pm est, by emergency decree from Her Excellency, Mother-in-Chief Clinton.

    As we all know, the people’s enemy Limbaugh ordered his deranged capitalist extremist followers to assassinate our Dear Leader, beloved by all who work for a better village.

    For the sake of our Union, and the children, Her Excellency has personally issued a warrant for the arrest of the people’s greatest enemy, on charges of un-socialist patriotism, promoting capitalist greed, and speaking when not spoken to by Her Excellency. All crimes under the Mother-in-Chief Act of 2016, punishable by imprisonment without trial, and immersion in the defining national song of our Socialist Paradise, “I am Woman”.

    If any of our beloved Federal Internal Security Department personnel should see Mr. Limbaugh as he runs like a dog from the people’s justice, shoot to kill. This is the most dangerous man left in our Worker’s Paradise, and he must be liquidated, for the children.

    Given all the success the last few years of Her Excellency’s Capitalist Eradication Program, arresting for the people such nefarious charcters as Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Newt Gingrich, and Niel Cavuto, we cannot risk an incomplete purge.

    Rumors persist that Michelle Malkin and the mysterious figure known only as MKH have escaped our dragnet and have linked up with the wanted felon Mark Levin, possibly to assist the people’s enemy Limbaugh in his flight from the Mother’s justice. They are believed to be hiding from social justice in the ungoverned border region of New Hampshire.

    We are currently searching the forests for the illegal immigrant Mark Steyn for interrogation. We believe he has informations we need to locate all of these enemies of Socialist Progress, so they may face the justice of the children, by the Mother.
    
    Her Excellency Commands the Revolution for the Children

    It worked!!

    I went to WesPAC web site, filled out the e-mail form with “Keep Rush on Armed Forces Radio!” then sent it off…and it worked!

    I got an e-mail acknowledgement from John Shadegg’s office (Arizona Congressman where I live) and in the subject line it said, “Keep Rush on Armed Forces Radio!” Cool!!

    I bet Shaddegg was shocked to see the subject line on that e-mail from WesPAC.

    Try it and see what happens…..

    I also received a “thank you” e-mail from Wesley Clark, but I replied that we should keep Rush on Armed Forces Radio!!

    Gentlefolk,

    Armed Forces radio carries no commercial broadcasting, no hope there.

    Mr Mays of Clear Channel did respond, but I personally found it a bit milquetoast. There are grounds to condemn the Senate, but his letter was as flowery and sweet as they come.

    Yesterday one of our number commented that these people can be shamed. Unfortunately, that does not appear to be entirely the case.

    Face it people: we’ve been whining about Socialists but these people are Marxists going on Stalinists. We are facing a crisis folks.

    GOD BLESS SENATOR JON KYL, the first GOP lawmaker to show some freakin’ GUTS:

    Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl responded to the charge, becoming the first Republican lawmaker to support the radio host publicly.

    “It’s troubling that some Democrats have taken a comment by Rush Limbaugh about “phony soldiers” totally out of context in order to find some moral equivalence to get them off the hook for refusing to condemn the MoveOn.org ‘Petraeus’ ad,” he said. “The only thing phony about this is the contrived controversy.”

    I’ve been thinking about this entire fiasco: the attempt to hush Rush. The old fairness doctrine was applied to the broadcast spectrum and nowhwere else. The justification (and the only way it could possibly pass consititutional muster) was because the PUBLIC owned the radio frequencies, and that these frequencies were limited by both treaty and physics, that it would be good public policy to require radio and TV stations to provide equal time to opposing viewpoints, even though it actually resulted in station owners putting neither viewpoint over the air in most markets.

    Today is much different. Internet radio and webcasts, satellite and cable, and optical fiber networks ARE BEYOND THE PERVIEW OF CONGRESS TO REGULATE.

    “Congress shall make no law…or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;” First Amendment.

    Responding vigorously to this attack is the best thing that can be done. Fighting tooth and nail to prevent a new “Fairness Doctrine” is essential for liberty.

    But even if they get past the House and Senate (where it can be filibustered), they have to have the President sign it or have a vetoproof majority — which they don’t and won’t ever have — to make it the law of the land.

    I would recommend to Rush Limbaugh that he respond as appropriate to the current criticism, including the nonsense attempt to get him off of Armed Forces Radio (also beyond Congress’s ability to regulate) — he can defend himself ably — and consider a Plan B if, by some chance, they do enact the Fairness Doctrine,

    Plan B could be to put it on Satellite radio and “screw you” to Congress. Or it could be internet webcast/broadcast directly from his home base. (I listen to him on occassion over WISN’s streaming audio, but this would not be available under the Fairness Doctrine).

    Whatever Plan B turns out to be, his listners will follow him, this without a doubt.

    And if necessary, he and one radio station owner COULD thumb their noses at the new “Fairness Doctrine” and invite a court challenge. I bet the courts would strike it down as unconstitutional, given today’s technology and many choices of communication.

    In other words, this is just a skirmish in an important battle. It is a battle that we will eventually win. So, let’s expose this as the power-grab it is, but keep in mind that losing this skirmish, is NOT losing the war.

    My 2 cents.

    This is damage control, plain and simple.

    The BetrayUs ad hurt the demoncrats, and they knew it. So how do they get the spotlight turned somewhere else?

    Rush will do quite nicely. And the fact is, it has worked. Rush can’t sit idly by and be smeared, so he is up in arms. The MSM has all of the fodder they need to paint him – unjustly, but since when did that stop the MSM? – negatively.

    Remember, Reid doesn’t have to win you over. You’re already far smarter than the imbeciles who actually support men like this. The terrifying thought is that he only has to win over a small percentage of people “on the fence.”

    And, given the fact that he’s running the Senate, it’s clear that his lies are effective often enough to put him there.

    I don’t fear scum – and I don’t use that word loosely – like Harry Reid. I fear the people who carelessly vote his party in.

    We’ve got pleny of obliviots on both sides of the aisle, it’s true, but it’s certainly not a 50/50 split.

    I’ve always had a pretty solid virtual-test for telling me whether a person is worth shaking hands with or not, and it is this: would I let this person babysit my 6 year old child? (when I had one, but the thought still counts).

    Ted Kennedy, Bill and Hillary, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Feinstein, Kerry, Edwards…? No, I wouldn’t. And that’s not hyperbole. I literally wouldn’t leave these people alone with my children. And Harry Reid? I wouldn’t leave him alone in my dining room. He, Barney Frank, Weiner, Menendez, Corzine, and others of their ilk would steal the plates, even if they were paper.

    These people are contemptible. The people who vote for them are fools (at best).

    There is nothing that Dingy Harry and his liberal Dems can do to Rush except drive more conservatives to listen to Rush. Have you ever seen Dingy smile or tell a joke? That guy is the slimiest, as is his whole family of lobbyist sons.

    It just frustrates the heck out of me that Pres. Bush and the Republican party’s stupidity and incompetence on management of Iraq, spending, and immigration has given the dems such a big opening to win in ‘08 and force their socialist agenda on us.

    The frightening thing is that I can see that happening and almost everyone of us on this blog (trolls excluded) would be rounded up and sent for “reeducation” training.

    gunslingerpartriot if she-who-must-not-be-named does win I have no doubt she has such a plan (to protect the children). I have a feeling I will be joining the 2nd American Revolutionary War with you. We have plenty of young people at my AFB that listen to talk radio especially Rush. Those of use in or that have been in the Military know there are many restrictions on our Constitutional freedoms because we are Government Property, but to pull Rush off the air at AFRTS would start an uprising that I doubt the chain of command could control. Most GIs do not trust the Democrats and have very little respect for the MSM because anything they say will be taken out of context much like this whole fake controversy. These 41 traitors have outed themselves on more than one occasion, when will the laws be enforce to prevent them from continuing to aid and comfort the enemies of America.

    The hypocrisy is breathtaking. Sean Hannity showed a montage of clips from the Dem traitors last night. Kerry and Murtha calling our troops murderers, Reid saying the war is lost and Clinton bragging about her involvement in Media Matters…

    The guy Rush was referring to, is a convicted “phoney soldier”. This is a non-story. Were it not for the astonishing stupidity of some Americans, all of the traitors in Congress would be thrown out of office.

    This is going to backfire the same way the MoveOn ad did. This American is sick of the games they’re playing while the country is in desparate need of leadership. With their historic low approval rating, you would think that they would be trying to improve that rather than setting a new record.

    It is also an insult to the troops. These Dems know that the military votes about 80% Republican and that the 20% or so who vote Democrat are mostly social conservatives.

    To knock Rush off the Armed Forces Radio is to get rid of one of the few people in the media that the military has access to on TV or radio who actually supports their mission and values.

    Democrats hate the military but can’t openly say it. This censoring of Rush is a reflection of it.

A suggested email follows or you can write your own more personal version.

    Last week, Rush Limbaugh identified Jesse MacBeth as a “phony soldier.”
    Jesse MacBeth is a “phony soldier” and is on his way to prison.

    Rush Limbaugh’s show is aired on Armed Forces Radio, which is funded by taxpayers’ dollars. This is at the majority request of US Service people in the field.

    Rush Limbaugh has offered time on his show to Sen Harry Reid to discuss the situation. I would encourage you to urge Sen Harry Reid to accept the invitation.

    Media Matters exacerbated this situation by selective, out of context editing of the actual transcript from the relevant show.
    Media Matters should be condemned as a ‘Smear Engine’ and disowned by the Democrat Party.

    As a member of Congress, you can prevent this type of assault on reasoned discourse.
    Please ensure that Rush Limbaugh is carried for 3 hours a day on Armed Forces Radio.

    Thank you for your consideration.
