 TR> Rush's Challenge to Senator Reid

 Limbaugh claimed to have posted the transcript and audio on his
 website. However, it is on the subscriber portion, so only the
 kool-aid drinkers can get it. The actual unedited piece is
 available, snipurl.com/phoney. If Rush wants to claim that is
 fake he can post his version where the whole world can get it.

 Limbaugh was talking to a caller, and they went off on how those
 criticizing the war were phoney soldiers, and the real soldiers
 want to be in Iraq, they joined to be in Iraq.

 So, any soldier in Iraq who doesn't want to be there, who did
 not join to be there, Limbaugh calls a phoney soldier.

 Which is exactly what he is accused of.

 That part starts about 4:30 into the clip. And, just like his
 accuser say, the Jesse McBeth part is not until almost two
 minutes later.

 He says he was talking about one specific phoney, but he also
 explains that he used the plural, soldiers, because he as
 talking about several of them.

 He lied.

 TR> program and say all of these things to my face and let's go

 Notice Limbaugh wants Reid on *HIS* show where he is in control?
 Notice how Limbaugh pretty much never meets such a challenge on
 neutral grounds? On one of his shows he said there was a meeting
 being organized to discuss the issue, but he would not
 participate as he never does.

 Moveon.org is run by private citizens. Fair is fair.
