Subject: Rush Limbaugh ... Phony Soldier ad. I just saw your ad on FOX news regarding Rush Limbaugh ... Phony Soldier. Get your facts straight you traitorous bunch of fucking cowards.

You let multiple Liberals slam our Country, Soldiers and President on a regular basis during a time of war, yet target one who supports all these, twist his words to suit your cowardly Socialist Liberal agenda and start a smear campaign to destroy his credibility. I Know what he said and who he was referring to. Your organization has taken this out of context and aired a blatant lie. I hope you get sued into oblivion for slander, defamation of character, false advertising, and all other offences available. I have informed several departments of FOX news that I will be contacting their sponsors and boycotting their products if FOX airs your slimy ad again.

I will do this to ANY and ALL media outlets I see this crap on. I suggest you all denounce your U.S. citizenship and get the hell out of this Country. Move to China or North Korea... Some place more suitable to your ilk.

The email above is pretty standard. Some of Rush’s fans' emails are well-written. Some are poorly written. But the one thing they usually have in common is the idea that the veterans of VoteVets.org are somehow cowardly, that we’re traitors, and that we’re not "real soldiers." I wonder where they get that idea?

From Terry H.:

Subject: Limbaugh Tell me something - are you people a Muslim front group?

Because, clearly, Terry has a problem with Muslims.

From Clear Voice:

Subject: Rush I am not a fan of Rush but you guys are the pits.

You are just liberal ass holes who hear what they want to hear.

Just looking to smear who ever you don't like.

Like I said.. Ass-Holes. That means you mother was an ass-hole because the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

In your case, you're hanging on your mother dress. What a ass hole baby you are. Remember, Liberalism is a disease.

Maybe that metal in your head is making you stupid. NO wait "An Ass Hole"

Nice.

From Cliff:

Subject: Your a "P.O.S." & a traitor! I just went on your communist web site, unreal, I am retired military and you are a "P.O.S." a mater of fact crap smells better than you! Your website "Vote Vets" is despicable. I am not a huge Rush fan, like I use to be, I am a huge Michael Savage & Glenn Beck fan! I did hear the audio last week and those traitor Senators have been speaking of & Rush said nothing that offended me nor my friends! I have been to the middle east a few times and the phony soldier Rush had mentioned was a traitor piece of crap, who couldn't finish basic training! I have heard and seen the audio numerous times and how the

far left such as you, who probably never spent a day in the military could put out such trash is unbelievable! My friends, family and relatives who have been or are still in the military are not buying

it. You need to get a life, if you really cared about are soldiers you would be supportive!

Because people who spent more than a few days in the military could never think the things we think at VoteVets.org. You found us out, Cliff! Congrats!

Jesus, Chuck. Let it go. You’re gonna have a heart attack. I can only imagine the veins sticking out in Chuck’s forehead as he electronically penned his piece in all caps.

From John E.:

Subject: (no subject) I have just read everything on your web site and I'm accusing you of telling untruths, lies and inuendo as truth.That despicable Wesley Clark's comments about Rush Limbaugh's comments on the radio were not accurate. Rush didn't call every vet that disagreed with the war "a phony soldier" he called Jason Betts, who was "washed out" of the Army after only 44 days " a phony soldier". It never matters to you Left wing liberal bastards about the truth, but it appears that the control of the future of this country is at stake and like it or not, we may have to resort to the same tactics as used back in 1860 when this country went to war with itself, North vs South, only this time it's Conservative vs Liberal and I'm ready to join in as soon as the fireworks start. Just keep up the constant lying and sooner or later it will catch up with you and all those in Move On.org and Media Matters will get what you so richly deserve.

Another keyboard commando. Right, John. Got it. You’re ready for the fireworks to start, huh? Keep on living vicariously through your fat, draft-dodging hero. And turn the Hank Williams, Jr. up louder. It’ll make you tougher.

From Rich M.:

Subject: weak commercials Rush Limbaugh is a great America and you are a phony. Your organization lacks the capability to tell the truth. Where is your ad condemning Nancy Pelosi having tea with a leader of a terrorist state, Iran. Where is your ad condeming senator dick for calling our troops nazis. Where is your ad condeming murtha? Where is your ad condemning reid who proclaimed defeat in April You are so scared of progress. Shame on you. You are a phony, and your organization is a phony A Great American,

Rich M.

Wow. Rich even makes it a point to tell us that he’s "A Great American." As if we didn’t know already.

From Robert:

Subject: TRAITORS i am a patriot. i listen to Rush Limbaugh every single day. and i know who you people are. you are traitors. you do not support this country. you do NOT support the troops nor the mission. most Americans see you for who you are. you are traitors. you have stood against America every step of the way and WE stand against you. you are partisan hacks and traitors. enjoy the reputation you so rightly deserve.

That whole email was worthy of being bolded. You see there? Robert listens "to Rush Limbaugh every single day." And when he’s done listening, he writes us emails like this.

From Dan:

Subject: (no subject) I just wanted to say I believe what you guys are doing as Americans is disgraceful. What an embarrassment to the nation. Next time, please don't join the military if you don't plan to perform your duty.

Don’t worry, Dan! We won’t!

From Wanda R.:

Subject: RUSH LIMBAUGH I have just read your article on the web re Rush Limbaugh. You are really out of line on your thinking. Maybe you should try sticking to the facts and stop listening to the likes of Wesley Clark and Harry Reid. Our true Military Men know this is just another bunch of garbage coming from the likes of those in your organization. Your web site is mostly just a bunch of propaganda of the worst kind.

More along the lines of we’re not "true military men." Typical.

From Wendy G.:

Subject: Limbaugh Did you even hear what he said? Obviously not, you should be damning the phony soldier he was talking about. Get your heads out of your ass and listen to the real tape. You are discrediting yourselves. You can be against the war or any war, but I have one question...Why did you all sign up? For free college money? Wesley Clark is an embarrassment to the uniform, he claims that Rush has been demeaning the troops for years???? Who the hell do you people get your information from??? Hillary Clinton!

No, Wendy. We signed up to participate in a global wild goose chase for weapons that did not exist, so that we could then take part in an effort to spark a vicious civil war, while our main enemy, Osama bin Laden, lived happily ever after in the Waziri tribal region of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Make sense?

From Torrey B.:

Subject: RE: Rush Dear VoteVets: I really feel sorry for you dupes. Rush Limbaugh has done more for service members than the whole gaggle of your organization. Although you are not phonies, you are being used. You are also wrong, wrong, wrong.

(Head shaking)

From TD:

Subject: Complete Dishonesty Your guy on Fox News this morning obviously has never listened to Rush. Your little hit squad obviously really doesn't care about the facts when the dupes on the news shows give you face time for ratings. I listened to Rush for 15 years and he is the biggest patriot and supporter of the troops I have ever heard. You jump on a statement HE NEVER SAID! And rant and rave and sell a bag of shit to poor trusting vets that unknowingly continue the lie. Why? For money? For power? Plus you can be a patriot withot having served. Lok at the millions who support the USO and other organizations that help the troops and vets. I do both. I am a patriot but I have never worn the uniform. According to your standards how's your girl Hillary going to be a patriot and posibly commander in chief without never having served? You also can be a traitor like John Murtha who has served in uniform. Wasn't Benedict Arnold an officer and a hero before he betrayed his country? Murtha speaks treason and poisons our efforts around the world. You are completely dishonest on the top three points. But you know that and chuckle as you walk off the set and see all the hits on your web site. Therefore you are doubly despicable. You can easily be proved wrong.. Just take a poll of the troops and vets on who's the bigger patriot, Rush or Murtha.

Okay. Here are your polls: Zogby, Military Times, and New York Times/CBS.

From Ken S.:

Subject: Truth You people are truly discussing. You know nothing about what Limbaugh said. You are nothing more then a front for the Democratic party and are using your service records to destroy the US. I appreciate what you did in Iraq, if you actually did serve. Rush was talking about a handful of phony soldiers who did not serve. You are really looking foolish now.

Ken is such a hater.

From Ernest C.:

Subject: U R an idiot!! Aside from the fact that you have misquoted Rush, you are a pussy! You get a brain damaged soldier to spout your tripe. A sane soldier would kick you butt. Do us all a favor and shoot yourself. Your are a waste of human flesh. What do you really think that these muslims just want to play nice. Why don't you go to one these muslim countries and preach your crap and see how fast they kill your infidel butt.

This is another truly great one.

Thanks for sending them our way, Rush!
