Hackett calls Limbaugh "fat ass drug addict"...
I'm sure many of you heard this, but for those who didnt...

from mediamatters.org

HACKETT: That's typical for that fat-ass drug addict to come up with something like that. There's a guy -- I didn't hear this, but actually when I was on drill this weekend, I've got to tell you, he lost a lot of Republican supporters with his comments. Because they were coming up to me, telling me, "I can't believe he said that! And besides that, he called you a soldier. He doesn't know the difference between a soldier and a Marine!"

So generally, the consensus is, you know, Rush doesn't know squat about patriotism. He's typical of the new Republican. He's got a lot of lip, and he doesn't walk the walk. The fact of the matter is, I went to Iraq to serve my country. I left my nice house, my nice wife, by my choice because I thought it was the right thing to do. And man, if I was good enough to be able to see into the future that Rob Portman was going to step down from Congress, I mean, I should actually be running for something a lot more than Congress. I went to Iraq because I wanted to serve my country and be with my Marines.

I think it probably says more about Rush Limbaugh than it does anybody else that he comes up with those thought processes. And I think it's indicative of today's Republican Party, which is patriotic-lite translated to anybody who serves their country who truly who truly serves their country and demonstrates it by their actions as opposed to their flapping gums.

They want to attack us. But the fact of the matter is, they can attack me, but I punch back just as hard as I get. Ask Rush how come he wasn't taking phone calls for the two days when he was on the attack with me. Ask him why his phone lines were clogged up. And that's because he was getting thousands of calls from veterans from this war and other wars who were clogging up his phone lines, giving him an earful.

Nice job Mr. Hackett!

1. W00T! I want to have a beer with this fellow!
And while I'm at it, I'll advise him to run for Governor instead of Senator. Governors tend to have more electability for President (*, Clinton, Reagan...)

5. Hackett is sooooooooooo right on!!!
I love this:
HACKETT: That's typical for that fat-ass drug addict to come up with something like that.

Only someone who has NOT been into war could make a statement like "He only went to Iraq to pat his own resume"

We have a AWOL pResident whom avoided VietNam, avoided duty after a great amount of "tax payers money " went to train him to fly a airplane! Please "you NO LONGER NEED A Military Record" just look at *! :argh:

8. I'm surprised Rush still has a job !
BUT, he's protected under the Rovian Patriot Act isn't he? :sarcasm:

BREAKING: The 4-star general who got busted for dallying while married, MAY have spoken out against the war. While I don't condone adultry, I don't think we have the WHOLE FREAKING story!

9. fat-ass, drug-addict DRAFT DODGER. Don't forget Rush's draft dodge
He claimed to be afflicted with an anal cyst.

Drs. recommended he pull his head out of his butt, but so far -- all these years later -- Rush has proved incapable of anything but Republican lies and propaganda.
