WXIT 1200 AM

We're a bit late on this one, but we had to say something about it. On his September 26th radio show, Rush Limbaugh called soldiers who express their opposition to the Iraq war "phony soldiers."

Ask the local media titans why they carry shows like Rush, and they will tell you that they carry these shows because they are "WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT."

We wonder: How many members of the 1451st want to tune in to WXIT to hear this sort of invective? How about their families? Is this an example of how a local radio station serves the public good?

Can you imagine listening to Rush call you a "phony" while you have to go out on patrol everyday in a combat zone?

Did you know that Rush never served in the U.S. military?

Take a look at the results of this poll--you'd be amazed at how many active duty soldiers oppose this war.

You are SUCH a fool! Rush did absolutely nothing of the sort! He expressed his opinion about a SPECIFIC "soldier" and perhaps, just perhaps, generally about those individuals who have lied or stretched the truth about their participation in Iraq. Rush has long been a very outspoken SUPPORTER of the military personnel that have volunteered for service and has executed their duty as promised. Only a fear driven partisan could have inferred otherwise. To say that Rush's statement was a blanket referral to ALL who have dissented against the war only shows that you are either blindly partisan or just incapable of understanding the English language. Please note that this is coming from a DEMOCRAT, one that IS fair.
