Limbaugh on Hackett: "liberal Democrat" who served in Iraq "to pad resume"

LIMBAUGH: OK, if you go to the top of our homepage at RushLimbaugh.com, you'll find a link to see this Hackett ad, and it is amazing. The libs, once again trying to hide behind a military uniform. It didn't work for Kerry. I can't imagine it's going to work for Hackett, but we'll see. But you gotta see this ad to believe it.

Some Democrat somewhere, some lib, is tutoring this guy on how to be fraudulent and deceptive. He may have -- as a liberal, he may come by it naturally. I have to grant that possibility. Was Carville out there? Carville was out there campaign -- so Max Cleland was out there cam -- well, now, Cleland's uniform didn't help him in his re-election either. Back in, what was it, 2002, so, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm. Plot thickens, James Carville advertising assistance to Paul Hackett. By the way, folks, don't -- (former Sen.) John Glenn (D-OH) was there? John Glenn was helping him. Well. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. So, we do have a high-ranking Democrat help, and so we know that the strategy from the highest levels of the Democratic Party is deceit, lies and deceit. You would think after Kerry that they would learn you can't win hiding behind a military uniform when you're a lib. But they're trying -- I guess they do -- and I think Kerry was the wrong guy. This guy Hackett's the right guy.

All right, we've learned a couple other things. This Paul Hackett is a trial lawyer, folks (laughing). He's a personal injury lawyer like <2004 Democratic vice presidential candidate> John Edwards. And it appears that, you know, he goes to Iraq to pad the resumé, come back and run as a big supporter of the war, or at least finishing the project over there.

So where are we? Well, we're on the Rush Limbaugh program and the EIB network but we're also hearing that Democrats once again lose an election running an ultraliberal hiding behind a military uniform. They once again lose an election pretending to be something that they are not -- a hawk on the military and a hawk on the war in Iraq. They run again, once again, as deceivers and, once again, they lose.

1. Hey pill popper, you forgot to mention that he did about 10 times better

than she did. Republicans were flocking AWAY from her to vote for him.

[NYCGirl]

2. Yep, Rush, one of those guys who RISK THEIR LIVES to help their resume.

What a moran.:eyes:

[Botany]

3. Me first?

Fuck you boil butt.

The libs, once again trying to hide behind a military uniform.

no shame

[BootinUp]

4. I couldn't read it all

When he said Hackett was hiding behind his uniform, my bood pressure shot up to dangerous levels.

[rocktivity]

5. Rocknation on Limbaugh: "Rightwing psychopath" Who Avoided Viet Nam

to "Pad His Already Fat Chickenhawk Ass"

:headbang:
rocknation

[Robeson]

6. Flush Rush.

[49jim]

20. I have a button on my bulletin

board in my kitchen with that saying.....anyway someone should send Limpballs statement to Hackett and let Hackett respond to him...he doesn't pull any punches! Go Paul!

[Changenow]

7. Oxyrush's ass kept him out of Vietnam

that padded his resume too. The Chickenhawks hate anyone who puts their money where their mouth is, service is for suckers to the right.

[NoPasaran]

8. Limbaugh

Limbaugh: Conservative Republican who avoided service in Vietnam to pad his ass

[Cha]

9. Cluck, Cluck, Cluck..busy old

hen..make that a chickenhawk who does nothing but squawk lies out all day.

Sits at his desk while others are out living in the real world.

Thanks Paul Hackett for running in the 2nd district in Ohio and almost beating that jean schmidt.

I think the Universe has bigger plans for Hackett.

[acmejack]

10. Consider the source

flush didn't have the balls to serve, so he has no business criticizing anyone who has. talk about being short in the credibility department.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. The Republicans, especially pigs like Limpballs, think the military

"belongs" to them, so any Democrat who served in the military must necessarily be some kind of phony. But that's a tough argument for guys like Rush, who skated from service in Vietnam on account of a boil on his fat ass. Beats me how a chickenhawk who never wore a uniform dares to say things like that -- but Rush has proved repeatedly that he has no shame at all.

[LittleClarkie]

13. And why do so many of them want Iraq to be WWII

when it's much closer to being Vietnam. It's like the thought of being in the middle of a John Wayne movie is their wet dream.

[LittleClarkie]

12. Much as people don't like the fact here, Kerry wasn't a fake hawk

it doesn't take much looking to figure that out.

It's amazing that Kerry gets called DLC when the other side thinks he's an uber liberal.

And the word here is that Hackett wasn't uber liberal. He was somewhat closer to the middle than folks here would normally like, or so folks here have said.

What an asshat.

Support troops, unless they're Dems. If they're Dems and in uniform, then call them pukes and liars so that no one will realize that YOU'VE NEVER ACTUALLY BEEN IN A UNIFORM YOURSELF!

Rush hates actual soldiers who disagree with him, doesn't he.

He hates them because they know what war is, and he doesn't. He fears them. So he tries to blow them away.

Sick motherfucker.

[kodi]

14. Right, and Bush had too much integrity to pad his resume and go to Nam!

.

[ulysses]

15. hammer, meet nerve.

:)

[zoeb]

16. ol' Hophead admitted to reading DU on his show

Wednesday. He said the DU was just a bunch of kids whining over Hackett's loss. Then he proceeded to trash DKos saying it was "way out there". The same day Tony Snow referred to liberal bloggers as Soros sponsored, beer drinking, frat boys. I guess Wednesday was trash the bloggers day!

But Limpballs also talked about reading Drudge...is his brain so fried by Oxycontin, that he doesn't have an original thought anymore?:crazy:

[Ikonoklast]

17. I wonder how all the other Marines in uniform

feel about this? I would like to see that fat dirtbag tell that to Paul Hacketts' or any other marines' face and see what would happen. Tell that to the marines that were killed from my state. Tell that to their families. They were only in Iraq to pad their resumes.

Coward. Draft dodger. Hypocrite. Liar. Drug abuser. Soon to be indicted.......Pigmans' padded resume.

Funny how the Thugs like to denigrate lawyers but they always seem to run out and hire the best legal advice money can buy when the fertilizer is going to hit the ventilator. Rove, Libby, Novak, Bush, Cheney, Lintball all seem to be keeping the legal profession kinda busy lately, eh?

[IndianaGreen]

18. Rush's boil in his ass kept him from military service

I would trade any name on the Vietnam War Memorial for any of the Republican chickenhawks. Let the real heroes come back to life, and the cowards take their place.

[agincourt]

25. I think I'd trade ten thousand pig-fat chickenhawks,

for one name brought back on the wall. I am beyond sick of these pilodial cyst slanderers of real Americans.

[readermostly]

19. For a man who's never served in any branch of the service, let alone

seen combat, how much more nasty can he get. His combat service is all with his vicious words behind a microphone.

[driver8]

24. How about a bumper sticker that says "Draft Rush"??

Hell, I would definitely put that on my car.

[readermostly]

27. I would, too. Could we also add Sean Hannity!!!!

[snowbear]

29. How 'bout...

"Draft Rush - the butt-boil has had time to heal"

:evilgrin:

[driver8]

30. Now that is a good one!!! I like it! n/t

[Stil]

21. So anyone who joins the service is

padding their resume? I'm sure the people who sign up and actualy serve would appreciate knowing he thinks its all to pad a resume.

[Nikki Stone 1]

22. Who pads their resume by standing in the way of enemy bombs?

:wtf:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

23. Why does everyone keep enabling this dingbat druggie?

He probably does read DU to get a buzz from the fact that we pay attention to his inane blabber. We've got to stop giving all these low lifes more publicity.

[dajoki]

26. i've had it...

with that dirty son of a bitch, fat ass, pill popping chicken hawk and all his cohorts. first they try to make kerry, a war hero, look like a coward, and now hackett. when the fuck are we going to fight back and expose them all for what they are, nothing but a greedy bunch of liers who are afraid to stick their heads outside their multi-million dollar fortresses, let alone serve in the military? i hope limpballs does get sent "up the river" just like he advocates for everyone else who committed the same crime he did. and the biggest, baddest motherfucker turns him into his girlfriend!!

[fujiyama]

28. Rush's idea

of dying in combat is ODing on OxyContin. I wish him the best of luck in that regard.

[snowbear]

31. Just wait till that guy running against Sen. Byrd starts campaigning...

I can't think of his name right off.. (and don't know how long he was over there) But he's running as a "veteran of Iraq" on the R-ticket trying to knock Senator Byrd out.

They'll make him out to be a huge hero..

[Adelante]

38. They are so after Byrd already, Larissa

Charleston (WV) Gazette 8/3/05

Byrd fires back at GOP with TV ads
Senator's ads will track Republicans', aide says


-snip-

But not all political observers see it that way. “This has to be the earliest start of any Senate election in West Virginia,” Robert Rupp, a West Virginia Wesleyan professor, said of the warring ads.

The NRSC announced it would buy $53,000 of ad time in the Charleston-Huntington TV market that began running July 29. Rose said Byrd’s ads will basically track the GOP’s “both in terms of geography and duration.”

Rupp speculated the GOP ads could mean they believe Byrd is vulnerable and perhaps they wanted to run advertisements prior to polling. If Byrd looked weak, that could be used to urge Capito into the race, which Republicans in Washington, D.C., have asked her to consider.

32. Is there nothing so low that this boil butt will not say it? Never mind,

of course there isn't. Interesting that NOvakula gets suspended for saying bullshit and walking off the set, but Rush can spew hatred for members of our armed forces and nobody even blinks an eye. New levels of outrage are reached every single day. I think it's time for a letter writing campaign to get Rush 'suspended'.

[Celeborn Skywalker]

33. Fuck you, Rush

Why don't you take your chickenhawk ass to Iraq if you're so gung-ho about the war. Paul Hackett is ten times the man you'll ever be.

[snowbear]

34. Last news on Rush's Dr. Shopping Case was July 7th....

http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,16894,00.html

"After the state supreme court, in a 4-3 vote, declined the 53-year-old gabmeister's appeal that his privacy was violated, Circuit Judge Thomas Barkdull III handed the Palm Beach County District Attorney's Office only those records that pertained to their criminal probe.

The action paves the way for prosecutors to make a final determination on whether to charge Limbaugh with breaking the little-enforced law of "doctor shopping"-- i.e., illegally obtaining duplicate prescriptions from various physicians to feed a drug habit."

Betcha anything he gets off scott free... :eyes:

[Bluesplayer]

35. Right Rush,

and the 20 Ohio marines who were killed this week were only there to get free room and board.

[Raiden]

36. Hackett on Rush: "Despicable chicken-hawk"

Way to support the troops there you hypocrite bitch!

[nookiemonster]

37. One mans observation on Limbaugh.

Let's be honest, the idiots that listen to this POS probably have no idea about the boil on his ass that kept him from serving in 'Nam.

Many probably don't even know about the doctor shopping debacle.

I consider myself somewhat masochistic to even listen to his drivel. I feel that in order to fully understand what goes on in the minds of these sheeple, I have to submit to his incessant rambling.

Yes, I'm a sick man. Of course, I think I've learned a few things. Being a bullshitter, from a family of bullshitters, I can relate. It makes things easier to see.

I've learned that when a person, or people, constantly tell me that they are "truthtellers" or "fact-based", they are full of:

BULLSHIT!

A honest person needs to just speak truth to power, nothing more. Actions speak volumes. Rush is a surrogate for this corrupt administration and will say whatever is in their best interests. Not ours.

BTW, I know many DUers know this already and I'm not trying to beat a dead horse. Of course you never know when one of our little wayward RW friends show up here. This is for them.

[derbstyron]

39. sums it up nicely. eom.
