The Failed Pacifist

Limbaugh Calls Iraq Vet a Liar

Rush Limbaugh was yet another right-winger to bash Iraq Veteran Paul Hackett, the first Iraqi vet to run for Congress (he lost the election by a very small margin). Saying it appears Hackett went "to Iraq to pad the resume". Limbaugh further accused Hackett of "lying", and repeatedly said Hackett was "hiding behind a military uniform".

Remember that the next time a Republican says those opposing the war show disrepect to the men and women in uniform. I would suggest that calling a Marine a liar and questioning his service might fit that definition a bit more closely. Then again, this isn't the first time Rush has been glib about what happens in Iraq.
