Phony Vets for Truth Join Reid Attack on Rush Limbaugh
Scrappleface Alert!
Just hours after Sen. Harry Reid, D-NV, took the senate floor to call on radio talkshow host Rush Limbaugh to apologize for using the term phony soldiers during his Friday broadcast, a newly-formed, grassroots veterans organization endorsed the senate majority leaders efforts.
Phony Vets for Truth, an non-profit group comprised of ex-military personnel who have publicly and deceptively disparaged the United States, the president or fellow U.S. troops in time of war, applauded Sen. Reids bravery, and his appropriate use of senate debate time to discuss Mr. Limbaughs scurrilous remarks.
In a statement completely independent of the Democrat National Committee, Phony Vets for Truth, a non-partisan think tank, also said: When private citizens start to believe that they can say whatever they want without being subject to the normal democratic process of selective sound-bite editing, and selective outrage, then its time for Congress to take action.
The group, which has no affiliation with professional Vietnam Veteran Sen. John Kerry, also commended Sen. Tom Harkin, D-IA, for boldly standing behind the protection of the speech and debate clause of the Constitution to suggest that Mr. Limbaugh was high on drugs.
