Limbaugh: Murtha "biggest morale booster for enemy in Iraq"
Limbaugh: Murtha is "the biggest morale booster that the enemy has in Iraq"

On the December 2 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh asserted that Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA) -- who on November 17 called for the redeployment of U.S. forces from Iraq -- was "the biggest morale booster that the enemy has in Iraq." Limbaugh's comments came during a segment in which he was speaking about new economic data and his belief that the Democrats "have been wrong about most everything they have said for the last 15 or 20 years, and even beyond that."

From the December 2 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show:

LIMBAUGH: All right, these people were dead wrong then. They have been wrong about most everything they have said for the last 15 or 20 years, and even beyond that. They're wrong about Iraq. They are cut-and-run quitters in Iraq. They are defeatists. They are invested in it. This guy Murtha -- I've been thinking more and more about what he said about the Army being broken down and unable to deal with these car bombs and so forth. And it just infuriates me. It just -- it just infuriates me.

What are you looking at me this way for? It just -- it just infuriates me. He's up there going on and on and on about this, and he's -- he may as well be broadcasting this on -- on Aljazeera. They're gonna pick it up, talk about it. Our troops hear it. He's the biggest morale booster that -- that -- that the enemy has in Iraq.

So they were wrong on the economy. They were wrong on Iraq. They're wrong on taxes. They're wrong on national defense. They're wrong on the judiciary. They're wrong just about on everything. And yet, the media props 'em up. They prop themselves up, and it's amazing to watch.

2100+ soldiers killed in Iraq and a lot of THEIR blood is on YOUR hands, Rush...And all your boys in the Republican Party are certainly wrong on the economy, Iraq, taxes, national defense, the judiciary and everything else. It really is amazing and infuriating to see all these presstitutes propping those neocon scumbags up...

6. Is plugging the Repug line
Edited on Mon Dec-05-05 03:00 PM by PsN2Wind
what is keeping his fat ass from being fitted for prison stripes? Goddamn dope addict.
Edited to add that those people he speaks of are energized by knowing that although 75% of the Americans of his political persuasion claim to support the war, most are only supporting it like him, with their rhetoric.

7. You know what would be fun?
For Rush to meet Murtha on the street, unplanned. Bet ol' OxycotinBoy would run to the other side of the street.

8. So take your fat ass to Iraq & prove to all of us just how "wrong" we are.
I want you to go to Iraq, pitch in & support the war you love so much and then SHOW ME HOW WRONG WE ARE - WITH A FULL REPORT AND PICTURES.

I know lots of soldiers who would LOVE for drugged up pigboy to relieve them about now.

So be patriotic and support your Dear Leader you cowardly waste of protoplasm.

Put your $$$ where your mouth is, you poser.

16. I agree.. he should have no problem going there if all is fine
broadcasting from a location with the troops is what he should be doing.


chicken shit won't even consider it, but if he really believes what he says he wouldn't hesitate.

14. Rush, YOU are the enemy.
You obviously hate America and all of the ideals it was founded on.

You never served your country, you've never had a regular job, you are a drug addict and a simpleton hate-monger, and frankly Murtha would kick about 100% of your fat ass if you said that bullshit in front of him.

22. So We Can NEVER Discuss Pull-Out? Never EVER
This is the war that never ends...and to discuss otherwise is always going to harm our soldiers. Always - that means even if Commander Dumbass starts talking about pull-out, he will personally be responsible for boosting the enemy.

What a bunch of dumbasses are on the right-side of the isle

27. No, and not enough died in Vietnam either, since dems "cut & run"
from that human meat-grinder too! If only we stayed in Vietnam we could have killed lots and lots more soldiers & sailors than the measly 58 THOUSAND that died for that made-up, bullshit, proxy war too!

If only dems hadn't finally pulled the plug on Vietnam, we could have been responsible for even more millions of deaths in the theaters of Vietnam / Cambodia / Laos!

Why, we could still be killing and dying there to this very day!

Fucking Democrats fuck up a perfectly good soaking bloodbath every time!

We aren't going to let that happen in the Middle East 'tho - we are going to ignore those freaking Democrats and just keep on killing and dying for as long as George Fucking Bush says we will - so there!

23. Wow. Right sentiment, wrong party.
I know he's blasting the Democrats here, but this part of his tirade...
So they were wrong on the economy. They were wrong on Iraq. They're wrong on taxes. They're wrong on national defense. They're wrong on the judiciary. They're wrong just about on everything. And yet, the media props 'em up. They prop themselves up, and it's amazing to watch.
...sums up Shrub's administration perfectly--although I'd substitute "horrifying" for "amazing," but that's just me.

Talk about projection!

25. So Limbaugh is now the spokesperson for the enemy.
He has an inside to their thoughts and activities. Maybe we should send him to gitmo so we can find out more of what the enemy is thinking....

26. Thanks to this *Miserable Failure* of a pResident ......



America now has LOTS of enemies all over the world. Enemies that we didn't have five years ago thanks to this dipshit drugstore cowboy. So Rushbo, you Pimple-Butt, be specific. Just which enemies are you referring to?

28. Rush makes me want to hurt things... no wonder this country is full
of violent minded obsessive control freaks.

Sad and pathetic... and the out and out lies he and his mind slaves cling to boggles the mind.

The rest of the world is leaving us behidn and rightfully so, we are bellingerent nation drunk on power controlled by ideologues, corporatists and extremists... Rush is all of that and more.

Hey Rush c'mon over I have a few frat pranks I know will just make you giggle and coo like a baby.

29. Oh Rush is Right
How can you pick on Rush? He is keeping the morale of the troops high. By stating we must stay in Iraq, Rush is ensuring our brave troops will have job security and rotate back again and again and again to Iraq.
Rush is clearly stating what everyone with a yellow ribbon on their goddamn Hummer 3 is stating.
Fuck the Troops
Fuck their families
Fuck their bodies missing limbs
Fuck their emotionally destroyed lives and PTSD for years and years
Fuck their destroyed marriages
Fuck 'em

Just ask Rush, he, Dick and Bush actually have a tougher fight then the troops! They have to speak and weather the attacks of cowards like Murtha!

Time for speech at West Point, they have to salute and applaud...

I'm so nasueated...

30. I would hope that the people of Iraq...
would take heart in knowing that some in the US do not want to kill them all.
