Anyone who reads the widely available transcript, as I have done, sees that Mr. Limbaugh was appropriately referring to the pretenders who pose as medal winners, or who falsely claim to have committed atrocities in Iraq, when he used the phrase &#8216;phony soldiers.\u2019 No, the real scandal here is that liberals in America and here in this Congress are willing to manipulate facts to smear those they disagree with. But there\u2019s an even more insidious agenda by liberals going on, and that is to reinstitute the so-called Fairness Doctrine, which is actually a way to silence conservatives on the radio waves. Mr. Limbaugh deserves mega kudos for being a forceful and effective voice on the side of common sense and for being an example of the First Amendment in action. After all, isn\u2019t that what our country is supposed to be about?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: It is, exactly what it\u2019s supposed to be about. There are those attempting to get rid of that little problem of having to listen to opposing viewpoints that embarrass them because the opposing viewpoints happen to be right. So thanks again to Joe Wilson, Republican, South Carolina, and Doug Lamborn, a Republican from Colorado. I appreciate both of you gentlemen rising to the House floor to combat this smear. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I need to thank a couple more people.
