A Challenge For Lawmakers Who Voted To Attack MoveOn Ad: Will They Now Condemn Limbaugh?
On September 20, 72 Senators voted for the highly politicized, "bait and switch" resolution that condemned a newspaper ad by MoveOn.org. The amendment, offered by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), expressly stated that the Senate would condemn "any effort to attack the honor and integrity" of "all members of the United States Armed Forces"
On his radio show yesterday, right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh attacked the "honor and integrity" of some members of the Armed Forces. Limbaugh attacked troops who hold a different viewpoint than his own as "phony soldiers." Iraq war vet Jon Soltz writes that Limbaugh's comments are directed at "the majority of troops on the ground in Iraq" because they "do not back the President's failed policy."
For all the Senators who rushed to make political hay over an empty resolution, the spotlight is on them. Will they now enforce their "sense of the Senate" and condemn Rush Limbaugh?
