Limbaugh and the "phony soldiers"

Frankly I'm getting tired of the amount of hyperbole in politics these days. What kind of fatuous lunatic do you have to be to actually believe that Rush Limbaugh really intended to insult US troops as a group? The man's pro-military statements have been borderline hagiographic for 20 years.

Maybe I'm guilty of the same thing by calling many Democratic members of Congress "fatuous lunatics." But don't they have something better to do than take one of Mr. Limbaugh's comments out of context, and in a bad-faith manner purposely convey a meaning 180 degrees from what he meant? Shouldn't they be passing legislation, or something?

On second thought . . .
