I'm So Bored with David Limbaugh

This is a reference to the great Clash Song "I'm So Bored with the U.S.A."

Anyway David Limbaugh is pulling out all the stops to defeat Senator Kerry. And he's getting on my nerves. Remember, he's the serious Limbaugh brother. But he is taking several pages from his brother's book these days. For example, repeating groundless accusations in the form of a question.

What is Kerry so afraid of? Why doesn't he want you to find out the identity of that man behind the curtain? Why doesn't he want you to read his book "The New Soldier"? Why doesn't he want you to see "Stolen Honor"? Why won't he release his medical records? Why won't he talk about his Senate record? Why won't he address specific charges about his Vietnam tour?

Obviously I can't answer all these questions for the Senator, but Limbaugh gives away his game in the second question. He wants us to accept at the outset that there is a hidden Kerry; one that doesn't jibe with the one that he's presented.

He brings up the swift boats and other charges almost immediately, as you can see. "Stolen Honor" is a smear piece on Senator Kerry, not an honest documentary. I mean if Republicans are going to make such a big deal about Fahrenheit 9/11, comparatively a more honest film, than why can't they understand Kerry's desire not to have a smear job on him shown right before the election?

Of course Stolen Honor refers to Senator Kerry's accurate testimony before congress on the subject of certain activities engaged in by American troops during Vietnam. But let's let Mr. Limbaugh tell it.

Do you think there's any love lost between Kerry and the military? He has never withdrawn his institution-wide slander nor apologized for it. He did everything he could to undercut our military, its morale and its mission in Vietnam, and he has done exactly the same thing with Iraq. When he criticizes its performance in Iraq every other day, while saying he respects, honors and supports our troops, does anyone believe he's sincere?

First of all if Kerry criticized all soldiers or stated that all soldiers who served in Vietnam are guilty of murder, well that's pretty bad. But he didn't. He suggested the people who created the Vietnam War allowed a situation to exist in which the chaos of war allowed atrocities to be committed. It was the leaders who were to blame for creating the situation, not the individuals who found themselves in that situation.

As for the Iraq war, Kerry's comments have been along the same lines. He thinks President Bush and his advisors rushed into this war too quickly. You can agree or disagree with that premise, but to suggest that criticizing the leadership in this war is the same thing as criticizing the troops is just deceptive.

But what else can you expect from a Limbaugh?
