With all the recent posturing going on by Democrats who have feigned “outrage” over remarks Rush Limbaugh made about “phony soldiers” like Jesse MacBeth – remarks that have been embellished by liberal groups like Media Matters into meaning he was talking about real soldiers who were critics of the Iraq war – it’s important to note just how selective their outrage over alleged “troop smears” really is.
Gateway Pundit takes a look back at actual smears against our troops made by some of the same Democrats – and Democrat groups – who have howled with outrage the last week or so in light of the Rush/”phony soldiers” manufactured controversy.
Demagoguery like this just shows with startling clarity how desperate the Democrats are to prove they are “patriotic” – and they have to do it by falsely attacking someone for something they didn’t say, while in the meantime their insulting remarks about our troops are essentially ignored (and in many cases praised) by their fellow Democrats and, of course, the mainstream media.
In effect, they’re saying that on one hand it’s “patriotic” for them to insult our military, while on the other hand saying that conservatives who allegedly do are unpatriotic “chickenhawks” who should keep quiet unless they’re willing to put on a uniform.

I expect history will show that the sinister George Soros at someone’s request — sounds like something Bill would do for Hillary– was preparing the battlespace in advance of next year’s elections. Discredit the voices on the right and the appeal to independent voters will be that much easier.
Once again, a majority of Americans probably have no idea of the things that were said by democrats. Why? Because our wonderful watchdog media have paid very little attention to their masters in the democratic party. All those things said by the dems got some attention, but were forgotten rather quickly by the media. The Limbaugh incident will be dragged on for weeks by the MSM.
As for the election. Some of you may want to get comfortable with the term President Clinton, because with the left in full lie/attack mode and the media rolling over for them when they snap their fingers, there will be a tremendous anti-Republican sentiment in the voters by Nov. 2008.
Truly disgusting, but reality nonetheless.
Perfect example:
ABC News propagandizes about the SCHIP Veto
It’s only gonna get worse the closer to the election we get.
Yes, it’s gonna get more blatant the closer it gets to Election Day. That’s why conservative activists have to get active now in fighting the smears. More importantly, it’s crucial that we defeat liberals & persuade undecideds & independents.
If our strategy is to match them low blow for low blow, we lose. BADLY!!!
Great post, Gary. Just to add to it, the best way to combat liberals and disinformation is through your local newspaper editorial section. I have been in constant battle with a liberal who uses false facts and emotion, just like Gary said.
Do not get into a name calling match, just completely tear down their arguments with facts and references. It’s not that hard. That’s the best thing that each of us can do on a local level.
Lord knows if you open the editorials of any newspaper there will be your standard “I hate Bush” letters as the papers loves printing them.
