Crush Rush: Now they want to censure him?

By Michelle Malkin • October 4, 2007 02:12 PM

Democrat Rep. Mark Udall is spearheading the resolution condemning Rush Limbaugh. It apparently has 19 co-sponsors now.

Meantime, Colorado Sen. Ken Salazar has started a censure bandwagon:

Sen. Ken Salazar dove further into the Rush Limbaugh brouhaha today, saying he’d support censuring the conservative radio talk-show host for his use of the words “phony soldiers.”

During a conference call with reporters, Salazar, a Colorado Democrat, said he’d support censure if a vote were taken. None is planned currently in the Senate.

“Rush Limbaugh owes an apology,” Salazar said. “He owes an apology to the men and women in uniform who are doing the duty that the commander in chief has asked them to do.”

Guess he’s trying to get back into the nutroots’ good graces after signing onto the resolution condemning MoveOn.

The Daily Sentinel also points out that Salazar’s brother is helping track phony soldiers.

Salazar last month denounced MoveOn.org for an advertisement it placed in The New York Times calling the American commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, “Betray-us.”

Ken Salazar voted for a resolution criticizing MoveOn.org for its ad, but other than his vote, Salazar “didn’t register much righteous indignation,” said Dick Wadhams, chairman of the Colorado Republican Party.

His brother, meantime, U.S. Rep. John Salazar, D-Colo., is working to establish a database of soldiers who have earned military honors so that people who falsely claim to hold medals can be prosecuted under the Stolen Valor Act, which John Salazar authored.

ABC News recently broadcast a report on phony soldiers, including MacBeth.

“Is Salazar going to vote to censure ABC News?” Wadhams said.

GlenW,

They can’t end the war so they are throwing Rush and O’Reilly, to their way left fringe – some red meat…it is all a distraction. That the Democrats have tied themselves to what are apparently Socialist. The Dems upset or suprized when the MAJORITY of Americans don’t want what there selling, well it is telling where we are today in America. All you have to do is look at Congress’s approval rating. These folks in Congress, couldn’t lead us out of a paper bag.

I believe last Nov.,mericans voted for Accountability and that is it, try telling Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

The Dems appear to still be running for President of 2004 because all they can do is bash Bush.

In the words of Phil Collins,

..well, I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes, So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you’ve been, It’s all been a pack of lies.

I for one am so tired of our so-called leaders engaging in such trivial and useless rhetoric,while I pay their exorbitant salaries.How insecure do they have to be to call for any action against any radio,T.V.,or internet commentator.If these squirrels were doing the job we hired them to do,they wouldn’t have time to be concerned about what Rush or anyone else says.
Two cycles-no incumbents.
