What endangers American troops more? Durbin or Limbaugh's "Club Gitmo"?
:eyes:

From Shakespeare's Sister:

http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com/2005/07/few-bad-apples.html

On my lunch hour, I ran out to get something to eat, and I was listening to Rush Limbaugh blathering away (again) about how the likes of Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer, and Dick Durbin are endangering our troops by verbalizing criticisms of the war and/or the administration. In the same segment, he proudly and excitedly hawked his “Club Gitmo” gear—t-shirts and hats designed to mock the mistreatment of detainees at the Guantanamo Bay facility, emblazoned with phrases such as:

Your Tropical Retreat from the Stress of Jihad

My Mullah went to Club G'itmo and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt

I Got My Free Koran and Prayer Rug at G'itmo

What Happens in G'itmo Stays in G'itmo

For coffee-drinkers, there’s also a mug labeled “Jihad Java Café.”

He then referred his listeners to a picture on his website of soldiers serving in Iraq wearing the “Club Gitmo” gear.

1. Personally, I'm waiting for the inevitable future torture pictures ...
... complete with torturers wearing Limbaugh's shirts.

3. I'm sure it will come as a set of collectable trading cards
I'd bet money on it.

2. egad!!!
I stay as far from Rush blather as possible--- is this for real? I'm horrified that someone is producing this junk! It's like laughing at the funeral of your mother. I'm truly disgusted. Certainly, reasonable conversation or commenting would be safer! geez...
peace,

4. Look at the photos from "shit-o heads"
http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/eibessential/illustrating_absurdity/tshirts.guest.html

At least they make it easy for us to identify them for targeting purposes.

5. Lots of Hispanics, Asians and Blacks wearing those! (NOT!)
Perhaps the Republican Party is more of a group of scared White American men!

Three cheers for testosterone!
