Gen. Wesley Clark: Take Rush Limbaugh Off Armed Forces Radio - Politics on The Huffington Post

Gen. Wesley Clark: Take Rush Limbaugh Off Armed Forces Radio - Politics on The Huffington Post: "Last week, Rush Limbaugh labeled any American soldier who supports an end to the war in Iraq as 'phony.' We challenged Limbaugh through an email campaign to invite VoteVets.org's Jon Soltz to his show and repeat these same insults to an Iraq war veteran's face. Over 10,000 people responded and emailed Rush -- but to our disappointment, he has refused to respond to our request. It's time to put real pressure on Rush Limbaugh. His show is broadcast on Armed Forces Radio, and this time we are going to go straight to the lifeblood of Rush's show -- Congress. Congress has the power to remove Rush Limbaugh from Armed Forces Radio, and it won't be as easy for elected officials to ignore our call. Tax dollars are used to fund Armed Forces Radio, and that money is not intended for radio show hosts to spout insults at our soldiers. These 'phony soldiers' have simply exercised their right to free speech, as Rush Limbaugh does on a daily basis. Simply because a majority of our troops who return from Iraq disagree with Rush on Bush's failed war policy does not give him the right to dishonor their service."
