Harkin's The Phony

Tom Harkin twisting the comments of Rush Limbaugh, used his senate platform to make the following comments:

"I’ll just close, Mr. President, by noting that in August, seven soldiers published an op-ed in the New York Times criticizing the current strategy in Iraq. Tragically, two of those soldiers were subsequently killed in action, making the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

I can only assume by Mr. Limbaugh’s definition that they too were “phony soldiers.” Now what’s most despicable is that Mr. Limbaugh says these provocative things to make more money. So he castigates our soldiers, this makes more news, more people tune in, he makes more money.

Well, I don’t know. Maybe he was just high on his drugs again. I don’t know whether he was or not. If so, he ought to let us know. But that shouldn’t be an excuse."

Talk about your phony soldiers, no wonder Harkin is sensitive to this. He lied about his military service in Viet Nam. Were you high then senator, or did you make false statements while in full control of your limited senses?

This is the same senator who recently tried to justify the Hugo Chavez UN tantrum against the pesident. This is the low life who turned what should have been a eulogy for a colleague into a political speech. This is the scumbucket who wants the Uniform Code of Military Justice amended to allow homosexuality and adultery. And now, he uses the senate to try to intimidate an American citizen.

There is no need to continue, Harkin is unfit to serve in the Senate and use it as a safe haven to slander those whose free speech offends him.
