Limbaugh called for U.S. troops to "rise up" against Commander in Chief

[Cocoa]

And during wartime to boot! I think Ann Coulter would call this "sedition."

One of many examples in this excellent collection of RW hypocrisy.

Donahue’s kind of anti-war observation angers conservative pundits like Hannity and fellow talkshow host Rush Limbaugh. In a recent radio broadcast (quoted in the Baltimore Sun, 3/9/03), Limbaugh could hardly contain his contempt for opponents of the current war: "I want to say something about these anti-war demonstrators. No, let's not mince words, let's call them what they are: anti-American demonstrators."

Limbaugh was more forgiving of opponents of Bill Clinton’s 1999 Kosovo involvement. He had to be; like Hannity, Limbaugh was part of that antiwar crowd. “Why Kosovo?” read a headline in the May 1999 issue of the Limbaugh Letter. The article scoffed at the declared humanitarian rationale for Clinton’s Kosovo policy, sounding like current anti- war protesters as it criticized the "shifting justifications" for war.

In another Limbaugh Letter story (5/99), an interview with retired Col. David Hackworth conducted during the war, Limbaugh seemed to countenance mutiny against the commander in chief. When Hackworth asserted that Clinton was “uniformly despised” within the military, Limbaugh responded: “How long, then, can it be before there is an uprising, and why hasn’t it happened before now?”

4. Wonder What Hackworth would have to say about Bush and Troops?

Wonder if Hackworth would say troops uniformly realize Clinton was not apt to send them on a bogus mission.

Oh, that is right, Hackworth is person non gratia now that he has seen the light.

5. And this message is heard on Armed Forces Radio

If John Kerry gets in there he needs to make it very clear to the conservative talk show hosts that a new sheriff is in town and that his administration will do nothing short of a full declaration of war on right wing talk radio hosts.
