Horrible Harry Was Raising Money for the USMC Law Enforcement Foundation
(And if you believe that, I have some ocean front property in Kansas to sell you.)A person knows his socio-political ideas are on the right track when he sees his adversaries following a perpetual path of prevarication to defeat him. Sometimes these heinous tactics work and sometimes they don't. When they don't, he can count on the opposition taking more desperate action, even violating the law, to win. Such was Senator Harry Reid's bolus trail when he tried to crush Rush. In his effort to smear Limbaugh as being anti-troop, Reid not only lied about Limbaugh's comments, he tried to bring the full power of the U.S. Senate on Limbaugh's head to silence him. As if this were not enough of an affront to decency, the disingenuous Reid committed another repugnant outrage after his plan backfired.
A couple of weeks ago, Rush drew Senator Reid's ire for calling a phony soldier a phony soldier. The "soldier" in question was Jesse MacBeth who had claimed he had served as a soldier in Iraq. He accused his alleged fellow soldiers of the most violent war crimes, like raping, pillaging, burning and murdering civilians and laughing about it all the way back to base. After some light investigation, MacBeth was finally forced to admit that he had never witnessed these crimes, had never served in Iraq and had never been in any branch of the military. His reason for lying: he's against the war.
Congressional Democrats are always trying to muzzle conservative private citizens. Limbaugh's preeminence in talk radio has been a wart on the collective Democrat backside. His exposure of duplicitous agendas and effective analysis of bad legislative proposals had galvanized Democratic "progressive" leadership to resurrect the long dead Fairness Doctrine. The maneuver failed and now, it seems, the Democrats have taken the brute force approach to shut down Limbaugh. The opportunistic Reid and forty of his myopic Democrat comrades had determined to deny Limbaugh his constitutional rights by demanding a congressional censure resolution against him. Reid and his Democrat minions wrote a letter to Limbaugh's boss insisting that Limbaugh apologize for condemning those soldiers who speak out against the war. They knew they were lying about Limbaugh's comments and they knew the truth about MacBeth. But the lies of their cause celebre made no difference to these nihilistic pacifists.
Lest we think that Rancorous Reid's attack on Limbaugh's First Amendment rights was the most outrageous thing he had committed recently, get a load of this:
"When I spoke to Mark May [sic], he and I thought this probably wouldn't make much money-a letter, written by Democrat Senators, complaining about something...The bid [was] more than two million for this... Never did we think that this letter would bring money of this nature... I don't know what we could do more important than helping to ensure that children of our fallen soldiers and police officers who have fallen in the line of duty have the opportunity for their children to have a good education." That was Senator Reid's naked effort to spin his anti-constitutional approach to representative governance by taking credit for the money raised by the Ebay auction of the letter. This is even worse than Al Gore taking credit for inventing the Internet.
Reid and his sour, mean spirited toadies lose; Limbaugh and the families and children of the fallen win. It's a shame that Reid, et al were not held accountable in the mainstream media for their total lack of integrity. But to any citizen who cares about the Constitution and the integrity of our elected officials, Rush says it best: "It got this kind of money because it represents one of the most outrageous abuses of federal power in modern American history, and that is what makes it a collector's item. This letter that Senator Reid wrote will forever memorialize him as a demagogue."
