Murtha is untouchable since he served in the military
Got my five minutes of limbaugh this morning who was whining about how people who have never served in the military can't criticize those who have. Comfort words for chickenhawks from coast to coast.

When limbaugh isn't lying and hating on the radio or fucked up on drugs or trying to get into a dominican rebuplic boys pants he's down in his basement sorting through his military wardrobe. Don't you know that fat fuck would love to be a real hero. He most likely has the complete Army General Regalia complete with 21 rows of ribbons (Con Medal of Honor, 8 purple hearts) and mirrors on all walls. He's like the John Larroquette character in Stripes. A total empty pathetic Suit.

Too bad rush you are nobody's war hero. You never served because you are a coward, and it just rips your teeny tiny heart to pieces.

4. Exactly-Rush himself mocks Kerry with "did you know he was in Vietnam?"
then he openly laughs.

Okay Rush sure whine away as usual.

I have never thought that just because I served means that I know anything more about military affairs than anybody else at least in terms of policy. Then again I have never farmed but I have opinions on farm policy. It is amazing how the right has fostered this attitude that the military is its own police force the only ones who can comment on military matters. BULLSHIT! it is our military all CITIZENS not just tax payers either.

7. Yeah
I'm not a member of free republic but I certainly have opinions about their "output." The untouchable military talking point is designed to make chickenhawks feel good about themselves. They can chuckle at the notion that since they didn't serve, it would be politically incorrect for them to comment. And no way are they gonna be politically correct about anything. Maybe my notion explains why they spend so much time chatting about Pedophilia, divorce, drug abuse. They chat about things they know.

5. Cut Rush some slack. He would have served but for his anal cyst.

6. Nonissue. They won't go after Murtha in a straightforward way.
The Rovians aren't fussy about where they stick the knife in. If Murtha's military record is untouchable, they don't care. They'll dig up that Abscam tape and run it in an endless loop.

8. Just like Tammy Duckworth, John Kerry, and Max Cleland?
Sorry BOSSHOG, you're a bit off on that one. Unless of course I am missing your point which is entirely possible.

10. I failed in an effort to communicate
I'm sorry. limbaugh's bloviating was that no one could criticize Murtha's alleged abscam dealings and other potential criminal activities could not be questioned by "conservatives" because Murtha was a war hero. In other words, liberal induced political correctness would not allow comment (in his little mind.)

And as in most instances limbaugh keeps rattling away disproving his own hypothesis.

limbaugh's lack of military service and lack of a chest full of medals really irks him badly. No doubt he wishes he never had that pimple on his butt, so he could have shown the world how brave he is.

11. "Untouchable" is just an excuse..
It's the talking point these morans bring out whenever their personal attacks are exposed.

Just like they called Breitweiser 'untouchable'....
Just like they called the Jersey Girls 'untouchable'....
Just like they called Kerry, Murtha, Duckworth 'untouchable'...

It's a crap talking point from the RW slime machine.
