This is actually funny, too. There\u2019s a letter that the Democrats are sending out from the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee to fund-raise off of my name and this phony soldiers flap that they have started and are lying about. &#8216;Dear friend: Demand that Rush Limbaugh apologize. That\u2019s the latest salvo from Democrats who want Americans to believe that the influential talk show host has insulted US &#8211;&#8216; It is so absurd! But get this: &#8216;Writing on behalf of the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee, a political group that works to elect Democrats, Senate majority leader Harry Reid on Thursday said he normally ignores Rush Limbaugh but Limbaugh\u2019s recent comment about phony soldiers went too far for him to stay silent, Reid said. &#8216;It\u2019s one thing to call me Dingy Harry&#8221; &#8212; (laughing) &#8212; he actually acknowledges the name I call him in this letter! (laughing) &#8216;It\u2019s one thing to call me Dingy Harry, but it\u2019s another to insult our men and women in uniform.\u2019 Which, you know, Senator, never happened.<\/p>\n<p>Belinda in Alexandria, Virginia, I\u2019m glad you waited. I appreciate your patience.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (laughing) Mega dittos from a Rush babe trapped in &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: &#8212; I\u2019m trapped in Virginia just outside Washington, DC, and no one represents me, local, state, or federal. Rush, you warned us a year ago, or a month ago that the Dems would be trying to make a turnaround to make themselves look patriotic, religious, and concerned. And by picking on you, that\u2019s what they\u2019re trying to do.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Yes. And that prediction I said by December, they hope to have accomplished this, because they\u2019ve gone over the cliff, and it has backfired. This planned and coordinated attack, which is filled with as many lies as I\u2019ve ever heard in one story, and as protracted in length as this one has been, is what they think is going to cause them to be able to turn this around. But this is not going to sit well with their kook-fringe base, who doesn\u2019t want to hear good things about the military.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Exactly. It\u2019s going to be firing against them and hasn\u2019t worked. We love you and the military loves you, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you very much. I love you, too, Belinda, more than I will ever be able to acknowledge.<\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I gotta tell you this.
