8. The "phony soldiers" remark was bad enough,
the remark the next day responding to the Votevets.org ad, referring to the serviceman in the ad as a "suicide bomber" is waaaaaaaay over the top insulting, especially considering that that vet (I forget his name) got his wounds because of a suicide bomber, and lost fellow member of his unit to suicide bombers.

If Congress is going to stoop to insulting the First Amendment by censuring MoveOn.org for calling Gen. Petraeus "Betray-us," then it would be even more hypocritical of them to remain silent when Rush calls servicemembers who oppose the war "phony soldiers" and "suicide bombers."
