"Radio’s Rush Limbaugh, catching flak for his allusion to “phony soldiers’’ this week, insists he really was speaking of only one “genuine phony soldier’’ at the time.
Yet today, Limbaugh expanded his roster of “genuine phony soldiers’’ to include Rep. Jack Murtha, Pennsylvania Democrat, a retired Marine colonel, decorated and wounded veteran of the Vietnam War who served for 37 years and was awarded the Bronze Star.
Murtha was the first Vietnam combat veteran elected to Congress, and as a congressman, also was among the first Democrats with major military credentials to speak out against the war in Iraq -- something he has in common with other veterans protesting not only the war, but also Limbaugh's characterization of war opponents."
