REID CALLS ON SENATORS TO JOIN IN CONDEMNING LIMBAUGH’S ATTACK ON OUR TROOPS
Washington, DC (National Review Online) — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made the following statement today on the floor of the U.S. Senate, urging Senators to sign a letter that calls on Mark P. Mays, CEO of Clear Channel Communications, to publicly repudiate Rush Limbaugh’s characterization of troops who speak out against the Iraq war as “phony soldiers.”

I'll admit, I've always thought Harry Reid was a few cards short of a full deck, but still, this surprises me. If they would have listened to this particular show, they would know that Rush didn't call soldiers who speak out against the war as "phony soldiers." He called this one particular guy, Jesse MacBeth, a "phony soldier" because it turns out MacBeth was actually a "phony soldier."
I don't think truthfulness and accuracy are at the top of Reid's list. I'd like to hear Reid's explanation of where and how the Constitution authorizes him to do what he is doing. I's also like to hear him explain how his action is not dangerously close to a violation of the First Amendment.
I think Reid is wacko. If Reid wanted to find out the truth, the only thing he would have to do is go to Rush's website and listen to what Rush actually said and read the transcript.
