Thread: Republicans and The Fake News Channel Hates our Troops!

Why does Fox News hate our troops?



When 380 tons of high explosives disappeared from U.S. custody following the fall of Baghdad - they blamed the troops. ("Lazy", "Incompetent"?)

When the Abu Ghraib torture story broke - they blamed the troops. ("Bad apples on the night shift")

When one soldier complained to Donald Rumseld about "Hillbilly Armor" they said he was being manipulated by the media to ask the question.

And now after General Eaton has stated that "Conservatives are the worst thing to ever happen to the military", Gen. Sanchez stated that "This War is Lost", CBS has fired Gen. Batiste for criticizing the Iraq War all of the Right-Wing is racing the Rush Limbaugh's defense now that he's been accused of saying veterans who criticize the Iraq War are "phony soldiers."
It's long past time we put this question to them directly.

Why do Rush, Fox and the Right-Wing Hate our Troops?

It's not like this is news to anyone that's been paying attention, but the blatantness of it has become truly stunning.

Rush Limbaugh is now claiming that he's the victim of a smear campaign, that when he said "Phony Soldiers" (not singular, plural - not soldier - soldierS) he wasn't talking about people like General Eaton, or General Batiste or General Sanchez or General Shinseki or General Zinni - or the 20 retired Generals who've all come out an opposed the surge and our overall strategy in Iraq (not to mention Admiral Fallon the current head of Centcom) - no, he wasn't talking about any of them. Nah. Don't be silly.

When he said this....

CALLER 2: What's really funny is, they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and talk to the media.

LIMBAUGH: The phony soldiers.



He didn't mean, y'know, what he said.

You didn't hear or read what you just thought you heard. It's just an illusion. A phantasm. A poltergeist playing tricks on your mind.

Rush meant something else entirely, and you're a fool if you don't know it. Fox News says so.

Oh hooray, another sock.

Obama is getting American troops killed both here and abroad.

Nope, a cable news channel did it. With the help of the xews of course.

If you volunteer, you serve. Getting shot in cold blood by your own is not serving.

If you shoot your self, you serve the common good. Getting shot in cold blood by your own hand is your way out.

Getting shot in cold blood by an Islamist the government refused to remove from the military is not serving.

Yes. No WMDS. No link to 911.

Just Big Oil and Big Weapons.
