Another Chickhawk Proposal
Rush Adopt a Soldier Program Limbaugh: "Strangely, Rush took the opportunity of this announcement of the 'Adopt a Soldier Program' as something of a test for liberals.
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I've got an idea for you liberals. Liberals are always out there saying you 'support the troops.' Well, then adopt a soldier! Join the Adopt-a-Soldier program at RushLimbaugh.com if you're a lib and you want to say you support the troops. This is a great way to prove it.
END TRANSCRIPT
The irony in all of this is massive. Limbaugh evaded serving his country at a time when it needed him, by getting his private doctor to declare he had a pilonidal cyst and needed a 4f (Rush could have gotten treatment). Today, instead of encouraging his listeners to make thoughtful donations, he is exploiting their sense of patriotism to enrich himself and his network. The troops should be supported by sensible policy and civilian leadership that objectively considers facts, admits and corrects mistakes, and supplies them with everything they need. Subscriptions to consume the rhetoric of an opportunistic radio entertainer is hardly a substitute of any kind. "
