Limbaugh et al don't hate Americans. They hate libs, progressives and others of that ilk, none of which are American.
They are Americans with a different point of view. Last I checked, there was nothing un-American about that, or wrong with it either.

1. So you've got nothing I see. Nowhere in the Snopes article does it say that Limbaugh went to any lengths to avoid service. He had that medical issue. Lots of people are denied entry into the military because of that sort of thing.

As for Beck and Levin, the link you posted doesn't mention anything about their avoidance of serving. If you're going to post proof, you might make sure it's actually proof and not just a generic wikipedia page.

Get back to me when you have proof.

2. Media Matters is your source? I make it a habit to never trust information from paid hacks with an agenda.

3. Here you go: Homeland Security RightWing Extremism: Domestic Terrorism – Military Veterans Cited » Right Pundits

4. Private unions are free to negotiate with their employer. Each side has a motivation to compromise. That's the american way. Public unions on the other hand have only one side being represented. The unions that use their dues to elect the politician that are doing the negotiating. The ones actually footing the bill, the taxpayer, are given the shaft.

Psuedo-patriot saber-rattlers:

Dick Cheney
Paul Wolfowitz
Mitch McConnell
Newt Gingrich
Karl Rove
Wow, you really are drinking the koolaid. He's never served: not one day. And what do you call our still being in Iraq and Afghanistan, and entering into the conflict in Libya, if not saber rattling? You know, sending other guys off to fight and die in a war he continues. 1500 in Afghanistan alone.

As for your list, none of the "sent" anyone to fight.

Funny, all the left does is shriek that we must all be treated fairly. Yet time and time they prove that they are the most bigoted, racist and narrow minded of them all. Not very tolerant.

They live in a fantasy land where they think the right actually cares about the country and the common man. Everyone else knows this is further from the truth and they are full of it, but the world has plenty of stupid people who don't.


Have a link to the information you used for the $21 billion number?

I'd love to read up on the subject!

When your goal is to overthrow Capitalism and make the Constitution useless, it is every bit un American.

None of them served a single day. Some of them went to lengths to avoid service. Of course, you're free to continue to ignore the reality.

Negotiation is the only function a union has. Of course, your repeating what you've been told by right wing mouthpieces is a reflection of your assimilation into the fold.

List the wars he started.

It's called cleaning up another Bush/Cheney disaster.

It's called holding to our NATO treaty obligations.

Look it up.

Bush had 8 years and you wingnuts never said a word.

All of them supported Bush's push to manufacture consent for his invasion.

Not having served any time does NOT mean they went to great lengths to avoid service. Another LIE. Next time, try and back up your accusations with facts, please. Until then, consider your statements nothing but libel.

You might want to look at Media Matters agenda before you continue to hurl accusations.

It was the first source I found. I didn't even notice the source. The the fact still stands that Napolitano issued that statement.

Of course negotiation is a tool. But it must be fair. And that's where public unions fail miserably. Your defense of public unions is a reflection of your brainwashing by the leftwing.
