Howler Update

clipped from www.captainsquartersblog.com Now, I will say that Rush should have mentioned that some real soldiers oppose the surge strategy in Iraq, and some oppose the deployment altogether. However, the media seems to fixate on Jesse MacBeths and Scott Beauchamps, who served but lied about their experiences, and then never give the refutations anything close to the same coverage they gave the lies. Jesse MacBeth had served as the Left's poster boy for several months, but his guilty plea has not made much of a splash in the Leftosphere -- certainly not the fanfare his fantasies received. That's the context of Rush's remarks. That's the context that his critics seem to ignore. Even if Rush had said what they claimed he said, they also managed to avoid asking why they felt so outraged over it when most of them defended MoveOn's slanderous accusations of treason against an American Army officer. It's on a par with last week's howler about how George Bush didn't know Nelson Mandela was still alive.
